TOOTHPRINT DENTAL ID

Like fingerprints, dental imprints are unique to every person, so bite impressions can serve as an accurate method of identification.

Your child simply bites into a softened wafer that records individual tooth characteristics, tooth position within the arch and the upper/lower jaw relationship.

If this is of interest to you, we recommend an initial impression at the age of 3 (or after all primary teeth have come in), repeating it at age 7 or 8 (after the upper and lower front four teeth and the first permanent molars have come in) and again at age 12 or 13 (after all the permanent teeth, excluding third molars have come in).
