Augmented reality mirror shows dental patients what will be

Switzerland-based company Kapanu is revolutionizing the way dentists work with their clients. New software developed by the startup utilizes augmented reality’s capabilities by creating a ‘mirror’ that enables patients to peer into it and see what they cold look like with proposed dentistry work. Patients who are unhappy with their teeth due to chips or a missing tooth, for example, look into the mirror while an operator adjusts the size, shape and tone of the teeth so the patient is able to see what they could look like in real time as if they have already had the course of treatment. The appearance can be adjusted on screen until the customer is entirely happy with what their final results will look like.
