Digital Technology

Dentistry, including orthodontics, is moving rapidly into the Digital Age.

Advances in the last few years mean that practice management, accounting, patient education, clinical photographs and other aspects of running a dental practice have now become computerized. Many dental practices are now effectively "paperless offices".

One component of dental records management that has stubbornly resisted this ability to become digital are plaster casts. They are the bane of orthodontic practices as they need to be kept for many years and present the problems of storage, retrieval and integration with electronic records

OrthoProof Australasia has solved this problem for the orthodontic community. Using FlashCT scanners, we are able to digitize not only your plaster models, but also your impressions. This advance now makes the plasterless office a reality.

You can do all the same patient measurements and analyses with the digital images that you could with plaster, only faster and more accurately. You can use them to educate your patients and to communicate with colleagues. Additionally, you can store these images on your computer along with the rest of the patients' information.
