How it compares
Technology companies approach dentistry from different angles: Align and 3Shape emphasize digital orthodontic or scanning workflows; Planmeca and Dentsply Sirona span equipment, imaging and software; Nobel Biocare focuses on implant-based restoration; Ivoclar focuses on materials and laboratory workflows. These categories overlap, so compare the official specifications and ask the dentist which option fits your care.
For patients at Hollywood Smile NY
3Shape is useful when discussing digital impressions and laboratory workflows; availability and clinical suitability must be confirmed with the treating office. Our East Flatbush office can explain the tools available for your visit after examination and X-ray when indicated.
