From 3D Scan to Simulated Final Smile
- iTero Element intraoral scanner captures a sub-millimetre 3D model of your teeth — under 5 minutes, no messy putty impressions
- ClinCheck software maps every planned tooth movement, stage by stage, across your full treatment
- The Outcome Simulator renders your approximate final smile on-screen — before you commit to a single aligner
- Your orthodontist reviews the plan with you and adjusts based on clinical judgement before finalising
Digital Planning Removes the Guesswork
Traditional orthodontic consultations rely on X-rays, physical models, and a dentist's verbal description of the expected outcome. Digital smile design replaces guesswork with a precise, patient-specific 3D simulation — so you know broadly what to expect before agreeing to treatment, not after.
Ideal for Patients Who Want Certainty Before Committing
- First-time Invisalign patients unsure if treatment is 'worth it' for their case
- Patients comparing multiple Hyderabad clinics before choosing a provider
- Working professionals who want to plan treatment timing around career milestones or events
- Parents wanting to see a projected outcome before starting a child's or teen's treatment
Digital smile design is the process of planning a smile transformation using 3D scanning and simulation software, rather than physical impressions and guesswork. At TDS, this is done using the iTero Element scanner and Align Technology's ClinCheck software.
Yes — the iTero 3D scan and Outcome Simulator preview are included in every free Invisalign consultation at all three TDS Hyderabad clinics, with no obligation to proceed with treatment.
The ClinCheck simulation is based on a precise 3D model of your actual teeth and is generally a close approximation of the final result for planned tooth movements. Your orthodontist will explain any factors — such as tooth root position — that could cause the final outcome to vary slightly from the simulation.
No — the iTero Element scanner fully replaces traditional putty impressions. The scan takes under 5 minutes and is more comfortable, especially for patients with a strong gag reflex.
At TDS, digital smile design is primarily used to plan Invisalign treatment. Where a patient's makeover also involves whitening or cosmetic work, that is discussed and planned separately during the same consultation.
