With dentistry advancing in the digital age, we see many great new gadgets and software, making our work easier and more accurate. Intraoral scanners like iTero and Trios have become more popular in dental practices, giving us valuable images quickly.

In this tutorial, we demonstrate how you can use your iTero intraoral file in SmileStream's robust DentalCAD orthodontic modeling software. With a few minutes, you (or your staff) can create a workable, 1:1 double occlusal model image to trace in SmileStream, giving you important calculations to plan your orthodontic treatment.
