This guide is written for Maple Ridge patients as decision support. It cannot determine suitability for treatment without an examination and appropriate records.
3d tooth model is one of the practical factors that can change diagnosis, appliance choice, treatment timing or the way progress is monitored. It should be discussed in the context of the whole case rather than treated as an isolated checklist item.
Bite registration is one of the practical factors that can change diagnosis, appliance choice, treatment timing or the way progress is monitored. It should be discussed in the context of the whole case rather than treated as an isolated checklist item.
Treatment simulation is one of the practical factors that can change diagnosis, appliance choice, treatment timing or the way progress is monitored. It should be discussed in the context of the whole case rather than treated as an isolated checklist item.
Records beyond the scan is one of the practical factors that can change diagnosis, appliance choice, treatment timing or the way progress is monitored. It should be discussed in the context of the whole case rather than treated as an isolated checklist item.
No. Other records may be required when the clinician needs information that a surface scan cannot provide.
No. It is a planning visualization, not a biological guarantee.
