Question 1

Why do I need a smart dental mirror?

Accepted Answer

Imagine using a smartphone for the first time after years of using a rotary phone. A regular dental mirror allows you to see inside the mouth, but it doesn't illuminate, record video, photograph, or share the experience with others.
 
Not only is SmartMirror the highest-quality mirror on the market. It combines powerful true color LEDs and a self-adjusting camera so you can digitize whatever you see. It becomes an extension of your iPhone or iPad and naturally integrates into your workflow.
 
Since it combines a mirror, lights, and camera, you'll be able to sit up and explore freely, reducing neck and back pain. By magnifying everything on a larger screen, you'll include your patients and dental assistants in the treatment, creating a more transparent and friendly environment for everyone.

Question 6

What does it mean that the LEDs are "true color"?"

Accepted Answer

The way we see the world is a reflection of light. When creating a crown or inlay, we want to show the light as real as possible to allow the most accurate shade and color matching.
 
Our LEDs are 5000K and over 93 CRI (Color Rendering Index), which means they imitate daylight and show the true color of the teeth.

Question 7

How is SmartMirror different from my intraoral camera?

Accepted Answer

First and foremost, SmartMirror is an ultra-bright, scratch-resistant, fog-free sapphire dental mirror. It’s always there when you need it—no strings attached.
 
When you stream your SmartMirror to your iPad or iPhone, you see exactly what your dental mirror sees. That way, you, your patient and your assistant can all see what’s happening.

Question 8

How strong is the magnification?

Accepted Answer

Consider SmartMirror an extension of your eyes. So when you want to see something bigger, you look closer. The endoscopic camera allows you to get up to 3mm close and still stay in focus.
