At SHINING 3D DENTAL, we’ve dedicated nearly two decades to advancing 3D digital technology for the dental industry, and our latest innovation, the facial scanner, is a testament to that commitment. A facial scanner isn’t just a gadget—it’s a tool that bridges the gap between a patient’s facial structure and their dental health, making treatments more precise and personalized than ever before. Our MetiSmile, the first dentistry-specific facial scanner we developed, is designed to do exactly that: capture detailed facial data quickly and use it to enhance every step of the dental journey.
Why Speed Matters in Facial Scanning
Dental appointments can be stressful enough without long waits for scans. That’s why we focused on speed when creating our facial scanner. MetiSmile can capture a full set of facial data in just 10 seconds, taking multiple angles at once to build a complete 3D model. This means patients spend less time sitting still and more time discussing their treatment with their dentist. For busy clinics, this efficiency translates to more appointments and less downtime, all while ensuring the data collected is accurate. It’s a win-win: faster scans for patients, smoother workflows for dental teams.
Realism That Builds Trust
A facial scanner needs to do more than capture shape—it needs to capture reality. MetiSmile’s high-fidelity texture camera records facial colors and details with stunning accuracy, so the 3D model looks just like the patient. This realism is crucial for both diagnosis and communication. When a dentist can show a patient a 3D model that looks like their own face, it’s easier to explain how a treatment might affect their appearance. For example, in orthodontics, seeing a realistic simulation of how straightening teeth could change their smile helps patients understand the plan and feel more confident in moving forward.
Working in Harmony with Other Tools
A great facial scanner shouldn’t exist in isolation. At SHINING 3D DENTAL, we design all our tools to work together seamlessly, and MetiSmile is no exception. It automatically aligns with data from intraoral scanners, which capture details of the teeth and gums. This integration gives dentists a complete view: how the teeth fit within the facial structure, how the jaw moves, and how treatments might impact both. For complex cases like implants or orthodontics, this combined data is invaluable, reducing guesswork and improving treatment outcomes.
Conclusion
The facial scanner is transforming dentistry by putting detailed, realistic facial data at dentists’ fingertips. At SHINING 3D DENTAL, we’re proud that MetiSmile leads this charge, offering speed, accuracy, and seamless integration with other tools. Whether it’s making appointments more efficient, helping patients visualize their treatment, or improving diagnosis precision, this facial scanner is more than a technology—it’s a way to make dental care better for everyone. We’ll keep refining our 3D solutions, ensuring that dentistry continues to evolve with the needs of patients and practitioners alike.
