The popularity and availability of virtual technology in orthodontics for the replacement of hard-copy records with electronic records is growing rapidly, with a move towards a 'digital' patient for diagnosis, treatment planning, monitoring of treatment progress and outcome. As part of this ongoing development, three-dimensional digital models of the dental arches have the potential to replace traditional plaster models and their associated limitations for treatment planning, appliance construction and simulated treatment outcomes. This article provides the reader with a summary of the currently available benchtop model scanners and intraoral scanners. It is likely that this technology will become increasingly common-place within the orthodontic profession over the next decade.
虚拟技术在正畸领域用于用电子记录取代硬拷贝记录的普及程度和可用性正在迅速增长，正朝着用于诊断、治疗计划、治疗进展和结果监测的“数字化”患者发展。作为这一持续发展的一部分，牙弓的三维数字模型有潜力取代传统石膏模型及其在治疗计划、矫治器制作和模拟治疗结果方面的相关局限性。本文为读者提供了当前可用的台式模型扫描仪和口内扫描仪的概述。在未来十年内，这项技术在正畸行业可能会变得越来越普遍。
