Augmented Reality Dentistry Will Show You How Your Teeth Look Post-Treatment

Getting dental work done is generally very expensive and you have to basically estimate by looking at casts and molds as to how your teeth will look post-treatment. A Swiss startup is working on changing this paradigm. Kapanu has created a virtual mirror which will show you your post-treatment teeth using augmented reality (AR) and 3D imaging. The company has created an AR engine in collaboration with Disney Research, which will be used for medical purposes, the first one being dentistry. The company showcased its tech at the International Dental Show in Cologne, Germany, last year and claims that it received "overwhelming feedback" from dentists, dental hygienists and dental technicians.
