3D TECHNOLOGY
3D technology allows to study the patient and plan the surgery with a higher precision allowing to anticipate possible surgical difficulties and make splints for operation with CAD-CAM technology.
The diagnosis and treatment planning of dentofacial deformities by 3D technology is more accurate than traditional protocols, especially in cases with facial asymmetry. The simulation of surgery allows to anticipate virtually the final results and to foresee the difficulties of the surgery, allowing a more secure and predictable treatment.
