3Shape announces launch of new TRIOS Ortho solution

COPENHAGEN, Denmark--3Shape, a leader in 3-D scanning technologies and CAD/CAM software for dental applications, has released TRIOS Ortho solution.

By replacing manual methods with digital impression taking, orthodontists can reap a range of business benefits such as reduced chairtime, increased patient comfort, fewer retakes, and durable impressions.

The digital format allows orthodontic clinics to reduce storage costs and systematically access case records. TRIOS Ortho’s integrated communication tools allow orthodontists to discuss cases and treatment plans in 3-D with the lab and colleagues, easing cooperation and to help achieve optimal results for the patient.

3Shape has bundled its user-acclaimed Ortho Analyzer with TRIOS to give orthodontists a complete digital workflow all the way to the lab. The scanned full-bite situation can be uploaded directly into the Ortho Analyzer software running on a server PC that is included with the TRIOS Ortho solution.

Ortho Analyzer helps make it easy to create a digital study model, including a virtual base, and perform treatment planning using 3-D and 2-D tools, virtual setups, and digital articulators. The virtual model can then be optimized for digital appliance design in labs that use 3Shape Appliance Designer software and digital manufacturing machines.

3Shape TRIOS Ortho also includes the Ortho System TRIOS Inbox software and the Ortho System database. The Ortho System TRIOS Inbox facilitates efficient import of digital impressions from TRIOS into the Ortho System database. This, in turn, can be made accessible from the clinic’s general practice-management system for complete case integration in the clinic.
