A high-tech dental surgery in the Canary Islands is pioneering a 3D printing technique to enable people to customise their teeth. Digital Smile Design (DSD), first invented in 2007, is being used by siblings Pablo and Alejandro Ramírez to offer clients a digital way to correct their teeth with optimal precision. After a digital scan is taken of the patient's mouth, it is imported into the DSD Nemo software, allowing the dentist to choose from a library of shapes and forms. DSD enables better diagnostic and treatment planning and is a less invasive, faster way to offer cosmetic dentistry than traditional analogue models.
