[Capture Intraoral Photos with Ease] Accurate diagnosis and proper documentation are key to delivering high-quality dental care. This app is designed to make intraoral photography—traditionally reliant on bulky, expensive DSLR cameras—simple and accessible with just an iPhone. It offers a practical solution for all types of dental practices to create a reliable photo-taking environment. [Key Features] Intuitive Interface: Begin shooting right away with a user-friendly design that requires no specialized equipment or training. Convenient Image Capture: Leverage the iPhone's camera to easily take intraoral images essential for diagnosis and treatment planning. Automatic File Renaming: Images are renamed automatically after capture using the patient ID, name, date, and photo area. This supports better file organization and simplifies later retrieval. With optional PC software, users can also sort and save files into folders by patient ID within a shared network, improving workflow efficiency. [Benefits in Clinical Settings] Improved Workflow Efficiency: Reduces time and cost involved in operating or introducing complex camera systems. Easily scale the number of devices to meet clinical needs. Reliable Recordkeeping: Minimizes errors with auto-renaming functionality, streamlining documentation and supporting consistent patient records. Flexible Use in Daily Practice: Quickly capture and review images at the chairside, enabling immediate use in tracking treatment progress or facilitating diagnosis.

Take a closer look at your 3D models. Dental 3D brings viewing, measurements, and annotations together in a simple workspace for Mac, iPad, and iPhone. • Open the files you already use. Import STL, OBJ, PLY, supported 3MF, WRL, OFF, and point-cloud files. Open ZIP archives with models and their companion textures. • See how models fit together. View several models at once, rotate and zoom, and adjust visibility, color, opacity, and shading while preserving their original alignment. • Measure and revisit. Pick straight-line distances and three-point angles, save camera views, and return to the viewpoint of a saved measurement. • Keep your observations with the model. Add labels and drawings, then save a Dental 3D project with your models, measurements, annotations, and views together. • Share a useful view. Export pictures or silent videos using standard angles, saved views, and camera motions. • Get help in context. Browse nine built-in guide topics, or use Siri and Shortcuts to open, read or search the public guide and reset a ready view. Private models and annotations stay outside the guide index. • Open supported files your way. Follow the in-app instructions for choosing Dental 3D as the default opening app in Finder or on supported iPhone/iPad systems. Your models are processed on your device. There is no account to create and no advertising. Files you open or save through iCloud Drive or another provider follow that provider's settings. Check source scale and alignment before relying on measurements. Unitless models are read as millimetres, and Dental 3D does not align models automatically. Measurements require independent verification; the app does not provide a diagnosis. Supported format subsets and file-size limits apply. Mac requires Apple silicon.
