ScanX Swift

Product Description

In addition to providing clear, sharp images, the ScanX Swift sensors are 30 times thinner than rigid sensors, and cordless as well. This feature can help improve patient comfort, especially for those with smaller mouths or strong gag reflexes. What’s more, they do not press on the lingual tori, which can often be painful for the patient. According to an independent, nonprofit, dental education and product testing foundation, the ScanX Swift sensors are able to capture 17% to 38% more image area. They can capture the complete coronal-to-apical length and provide more mesial-distal information. The digital images seamlessly integrate with the practice’s existing software and practice management systems for more effective case presentation, record-keeping, and insurance reimbursement. Air Techniques also offers its own Visix imaging software, designed for simplicity and ease of use.
