HELSINKI, Finland: Planmeca has announced that its Planmeca Emerald and Planmeca PlanScan intraoral scanners are now compatible with ClearCaps’ clear aligner system. ClearCaps manufactures clear aligners, a new concept used for straightening teeth without using metal and wires. The aligners are custom-made, clear plastic trays that gently shift the teeth into their desired position.

After scanning the upper and lower arches in occlusion, the data files can instantly be sent to ClearCaps. This can be done, for example, via the Planmeca Romexis Cloud transfer service within just a few clicks.

“We are very pleased about the possibility to use Planmeca Emerald and Planmeca PlanScan intraoral scans with the ClearCaps system,” says Jukka Kanerva, Vice President of Planmeca’s dental care units and CAD/CAM division.

“Scanning impressions is seeing a huge growth among our doctors working with ClearCaps clear aligners. It makes the process of manufacturing their custom-made caps and the 3D setup much faster and more efficient,” said Jesse N. Bartels, Territory Manager for ClearCaps. “Planmeca’s intraoral scanners allow GPs and orthodontists to maximise their workflow efficiency and offer their patients the best possible experience with state-of-the-art equipment.”
