We're currently pouring models & thermoforming on a biostar. It's relatively messy & I would like to digitize the process if possible.
We have a smart optics desktop scanner which is great for replicating stone models & printing a replica. I know some have issues with resin shrinkage but so far, no issues so printing models is not a concern. I would like to scan impressions directly to avoid pouring stone but our scanner just cannot capture large areas around the front of the impression. I have screenshared with smart optics & their advice was it provably isn't possible but try using scanning spray (I'm not optimistic).
.
Does anyone have any experience digitizing retainer / night guard work flow? We have tried nextdent resin to print night guards directly but they are very poor imo so for now I do accept we're stuck with thermoforming. If we could somehow print the models though that would be amazing. I know invisalign scan impressions so it is possible - maybe our machine just isn't good suitable. Any advice is much appreciated!
