3Shape announces the official launch of its new TRIOS® Ortho solution

3Shape is now releasing a complete digital solution for orthodontic clinics that bundles the 3Shape TRIOS® digital impression solution with 3Shape’s Ortho Analyzer™ software. 3Shape TRIOS® Ortho provides intraoral scanning, clinical scan-validation, and seamless communication with the orthodontic lab. The included 3Shape Ortho Analyzer™ software gives orthodontists tools for creating digital study models from the impression followed by advanced tools for treatment planning and case analysis.

Copenhagen, January 21, 2013. 3Shape, a global leader in 3D scanning technologies and CAD/CAM software for dental applications, declares “all systems go” for the release of its TRIOS® Ortho solution.

Finally – digital impression taking for Orthodontists
By replacing manual methods with digital impression taking, orthodontists can reap a wide range of business benefits such as reduced chair time, increased patient comfort, fewer retakes, and durable impressions.  The digital format allows orthodontic clinics to reduce their storage costs and systematically access their case records. TRIOS® Ortho’s integrated communication tools allow orthodontists to discuss cases and treatment plans in 3D with the lab and colleagues, easing cooperation and ultimately achieving optimal results for the patient.

Complete digital workflows  with Ortho Analyzer™ Software
3Shape has bundled its user-acclaimed Ortho Analyzer™ together 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™ makes it easy to create a digital study model, including a virtual base, and perform treatment planning using 3D and 2D 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.

Digital database for impressions integrated in your clinic
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 - which in turn can be made easily accessible from the clinic’s general practice management system for complete case integration in the clinic.
