Dentsply Sirona launches the SureSmile™ Simulator,1 an application within DS Core™ designed to support patient conversations about the benefits of SureSmile® Aligner Treatment by showing the expected outcome before therapy even begins. With the use of the SureSmile™ Simulator, dentists can preview the potential new smile of a patient in just minutes to visually demonstrate the scope of treatment fostering confident treatment decisions.
The 3D-visualization of the patient's possible new smile includes automated modeling and tooth segmentation, driven by AI. The SureSmile™ Simulator is designed to provide treatment estimation and case complexity level for a scan in under 5 minutes.2 Through DS Core™ the simulation can be securely saved and shared with patients so that they can show family and friends, potentially increasing treatment acceptance.
An innovative tool to open a world of healthy and confident smiles
SureSmile™ Simulator powered by DS Core™ is an innovative software application that empowers dental professionals to transform patient interactions and treatment conversations. Minutes after uploading an intraoral scan from the Primescan intraoral scanner, the SureSmile™ Simulator creates a 3D visualization of the patients’ potential new smile following SureSmile® Aligner treatment therapy. Dentists can easily integrate the SureSmileTM Simulator into their practice and DS workflows to expand their spectrum of treatment offerings.
“The SureSmile™ Simulator has been a powerful addition to my clear aligner consult workflow. Being able to show my patients a high-quality simulation, in real time, has been positively impactful in visually reinforcing the benefits of clear aligner therapy. It is fast, it’s accurate, and it is consistent with the high-quality imagery we are accustomed to from Dentsply Sirona software. I anticipate that every SureSmile user will find this DS Core™ feature as valuable a tool as I have", says Vishal Sharma, DMD from Calgary, Canada.
