T-scan, developed by Tekscan, is a clinically recognized and widely preferred system to analyze an individuals’ occlusion. This innovative tool allows the dentist to determine the presence of a malocclusion before it increases in severity. It reduces the chair time you need to spend in getting your teeth misalignment corrected, as early detection cuts down on the unnecessary repeat visits.

The following aspects can be evaluated using the data rendered by the T-scan, which are crucial in diagnosing a malocclusion:
