Dental models are accurate, three-dimensional replicas of a patient's teeth that are made by pouring dental plaster or acrylic into impressions (imprints, or molds) of the teeth, and allowing it to harden.
Study models provide vital information about your patient's teeth and occlusion. They are an essential diagnostic aid when planning cosmetic dentistry, oral surgery, and orthodontics. The information given by a study model includes accurate replication of the teeth and the surrounding soft tissues.
