Step 2 - Submit the aligner prescription and scan data

  1. At the scan appointment, take an intraoral scan for gingiva and teeth along with the same photos/x-rays required for any therapeutic model order. You can also take an in vivo CBCT scan at this time if you want to add roots and bone to a therapeutic model.


Note: The scan for the reference model must be intraoral, which means the patient is present and you are using an optical scan technology (Ex: CEREC® Omnicam). If you also take a CBCT scan of the patient and the patient has restorations, type a note in the order telling the Digital Lab to refer to the optical scan for supplemental data.

  1. Complete the aligner prescription either from the patient overview or from the therapeutic model order page.
  2. Submit the therapeutic model order.
