Advantages of DentalTwin Compared to Traditional Wax-up Methods

See how DentalTwin’s AI workflows improve speed, accuracy, and efficiency in restorative and implant planning.

Overview

Traditional wax-up methods involve manual tooth carving, physical models, and multiple patient visits.

DentalTwin replaces this process with AI-generated, technician-reviewed digital wax-ups that are faster, more precise, and ready for direct clinical application.

Key Advantages

1. Speed

• Traditional: Manual fabrication takes hours to days.
• DentalTwin: AI-generated setup is ready within hours after submission.

2. Precision

• Traditional: Dependent on manual skill; risk of human error.
• DentalTwin: AI uses patient-specific anatomy for exact tooth positioning.

3. Workflow Efficiency

• Traditional: Requires physical impressions, silicone keys, and stone models.
• DentalTwin: Fully digital — no impressions, no plaster, no manual bite registrations.

4. Integration

• Traditional: Limited to lab-based fabrication.
• DentalTwin: Files integrate directly into CAD/CAM or implant planning software.

5. Reusability

• Traditional: Wax-ups must be remade if damaged.
• DentalTwin: Digital files can be stored, reprinted, or remilled anytime.
