What technology is on your mind?

Smile by Dentsply Sirona is a great technology. Having a completely digital workflow has been a part of our practice for a while now. We love that Sure Smile is more seamless with our Primescan full arch scans. We mostly love that there are fewer refinements (a four-letter word). The treatment planning is done by humans as opposed to algorithms, and we’ve found better tracking with the aligners. I’m not this fancy, but if desired, there is an option to produce your own aligners in-house as well. And the price tag is better, too!
