  • At least 3mm of gingiva is included above the gumline
  • No holes/stitching errors in scan
  • No artifacts that interfere with the quality of the scan are present
  • No orthodontic appliance in the scan that will interfere with treatment
  • Scans in occlusion

Photo Requirements

  • Intraoral: Upper occlusal, lower occlusal, front view, right lateral, left lateral

  • Photos must be in JPEG or PNG file format
  • All teeth are fully captured in photos
