Do you happen to have any further articles based around P/S?

Correction: “A scanner that is integrated into the Invisalign workflow” = Element 2 The differences between 2 and 5D is the proximal caries detection.

Our Primescans are on Win10, and our Omnicams are on Win 7. We’ve never tried to mix them up, however.

The article does not mention that, is this correct?

Interesting. It really is a shame that politics has to get in the way of progress. To answer your question, I would probably frame it into four statements, depending if you are looking for…

“A scanner that is the most accurate, fastest, and has the smartest AI” = Primescan
“A scanner that is very accurate, fast, and inexpensive” = 3Shape Trios
“A scanner that is fast and very inexpensive” = Medit i500
“A scanner that is integrated into the Invisalign workflow” = Element 5D

Hi Hsuan,
my local Invisalign rep but upon further investigation the global stance is this:

https://seekingalpha.com/article/4256528-align-technologys-algn-ceo-joe-hogan-q1-2019-results-earnings-call-transcript?source=nasdaq

And here is an excerpt from the link above ….

Given our continued progress and increased use of digital scans for Invisalign case submission, we continue to get questions regarding interoperability with other third-party scanners. With recent product introductions, we want to make sure we are clear about which scanners are not qualified to submit Invisalign case submissions. We developed an interoperability matrix that has been distributed to our sales and customer facing teams to help inform doctors. It also included our Q1 2019 conference call slides. So please reference it for more detail.
However, to ensure there is no confusion in the marketplace then I quickly reiterate our interoperability position on this call with two new scanners, the Trios 4 and Primescan. Regarding the Trios 4, Align will not qualify Trios 4, or any future 3Shape scanner product, for Invisalign interoperability in the U.S. or globally.
Regarding Primescan, Align has received a request from Dentsply/Sirona to evaluate Primescan for Invisalign case submissions and we are considering that request. Until we make a decision to move forward and can conduct testing, Primescan is not qualified for Invisalign case submissions.

I wasn’t able to find confirmation of that piece of news… Can I get a source from you?

Align are stating that they won’t make Invisalign compatable with primescan. Do you think that will change? What is the benefits of the primescan over the iTero element 5D?

Thanks for the advice!
