With advanced optics and imaging technology, this scanner ensures precise and high resolution scans. It's AI-enhanced Fast Scan setting assists with soft tissue removal and overlap correction, providing dental professionals with a powerful tool to deliver the best possible care to their patients. No calibration or warmup is needed, making this a plug and play solution. Additionally, Owandy-IOS software integrates seamlessly with popular CAD/CAM systems such as exocad.

New from Henry Schein Orthodontics, the Carriere Motion Pro bite corrector is a versatile device designed for both class II and class III malocclusions. Designed to treat the anteroposterior dimension of a patient's occlusion. This device allows clinicians to achieve a class I platform within 3 to 6 months of treatment. Additionally, it features a custom designed drop in hook and reinforced cuspid pad hook among many other design elements.

Next up is Dang Good Debubblizer from Dental Creations. This non-contaminating spray works its magic on impressions and investments, reducing surface tension and ensuring smooth void- and bubble-free castings. It's designed to help provide a smoother finish, saving time for lab technicians and producing accurate castings.

Finally, Blue Box is a new compact and portable mobile dentistry platform. Weighing in at 50 pounds and featuring adjustable heights and swivel armrests, the Blue Box is ideal for remote and emergency dental care. It features a true high volume evacuation system, autoclavable components, and a self contained water and air supply system.
