The aim of this paper is to illustrate how new opportunities offered by technology and diagnostic imaging can more easily create a 3D integration of soft tissue Face Scan and IOS (intra oral scan) for orthodontic evaluation in children.
Through TrueDepth technology, a software commonly used for digital devices such as smartphones and tablets, the authors illustrate the acquisition of facial scans by means of different applications, and their integration with IOS to perform diagnostic evaluations and treatment planning at zero biological cost for patients.
TrueDepth technology is both accurate and easy to use for all clinicians, even those less accustomed to digital innovations. In the past, stereophotogrammetric systems and devices were used, and they are the gold standard for three-dimensional acquisitions. However, there is a major drawback associated with this technology as it is expensive and non-portable. Truedepth technology is an effective substitute, as smartphone applications are portable, cheaper, and more accessible, giving each orthodontist the ability to take advantage of the benefits of facial scanning in their daily practice.
本文旨在说明技术和诊断成像带来的新机遇如何能更轻松地实现软组织面部扫描和口腔内扫描（IOS）的三维整合，用于儿童正畸评估。
通过常用于智能手机和平板电脑等数字设备的TrueDepth技术，作者展示了借助不同应用程序获取面部扫描图像，并将其与IOS整合，以零生物成本为患者进行诊断评估和治疗规划。
TrueDepth技术对所有临床医生来说既准确又易于使用，即使是那些不太习惯数字创新的医生。过去使用的是立体摄影测量系统和设备，它们是三维采集的金标准。然而，这项技术有一个主要缺点，即昂贵且不可便携。TrueDepth技术是一种有效的替代方案，因为智能手机应用程序便携、便宜且更易获取，使每位正畸医生都能在日常实践中利用面部扫描的优势。
