Thanks for your beautiful genuine efforts in educating digital dentistry

Thanks for your beautiful genuine efforts in educating digital dentistry. I am an orthodontist, and I like to transform my practice to be digital. I need to know the hardware and software requirements to design and 3D print orthodontic appliances (both metallic and plastic).Wish you many happy faces and as many helping hands.

Dr Mohannad AlhajjiOrthodontist

I've been working for 10 plus years. I do a lot of crown and bridge, dentures, splints. The scanner that I have is the i500, and because I'm new to scanning, I thought I want to do a Medit course. Also because I'm new and I wanted to make sure that I cover everything that I need to know because it's hard to find the time to learn and have to spend extra time after work to try and work out what each of the buttons do, and I'm not very software friendly, so I thought if there's a course that's out there, then I just happen to be looking, and I came across it and I thought, I'm gonna do that, so it's been great.

Dr Rohan JayachandranGeneral Dentist - Albury, NSW

Anybody who has a scanner should be doing this course

This course is one of two courses in the last 10 years that have actually changed my practice life. I came here without a clue how to use this new expensive scanner, and I'm leaving after one day thinking I probably should have just paid for the one day, I'm staying for the two, I know it all now, it was absolutely fantastic. Anybody who has a scanner should be doing this course. You should bring your staff, everybody should do it, can't tell you anything more.
