ClearCorrect Now Accepting Planmeca Emerald and PlanScan Intraoral Scans
The new Planmeca Emerald intraoral scanner is now accepted for use with the ClearCorrect clear aligner system, joining the Planmeca PlanScan intraoral scanner.

Both Planmeca Emerald and Planmeca PlanScan intraoral scanners can now be smoothly integrated into dental practices' clear aligner workflow. After scanning the upper and lower arches in occlusion, doctors can instantly export the scans and securely upload them to ClearCorrect's online doctor's portal.

Planmeca president Brett Hines says providing the company's clinicians with innovative tools and systems to expand services and treatments to improve the health of dental patients is one of the company's main goals. ClearCorrect CEO Jarrett Pumphrey says his company believes in supporting open standards like the STL format, rather than locking customers down to particular systems.
