Domestic intraoral scanners have progressed from complete reliance on imported technology to successful localization and substitution. Chinese brands have moved from "following" and "running alongside" international leaders to "leading" in selected areas. Significant breakthroughs have been achieved in technological independence, market leadership, industrial chain construction, and international discourse power, writing a new chapter for Chinese intelligent manufacturing in medical equipment.
1. Freqty (频泰)
As a 100% domestically developed product, Freqty intraoral scanners already compete with - and in some aspects surpass - international counterparts in volume, weight, and key technical indicators.
01 Lightweight Design & Operational Comfort Focus on compact, ergonomic design reduces fatigue during prolonged scanning. Small probes (e.g., P2) allow better access into the oral cavity and improve patient comfort.
02 AI Intelligence & Efficiency AI-assisted scanning automatically identifies and excludes soft-tissue interference (tongue, gingiva), ensuring cleaner and more accurate data while improving speed. AI-generated personalized case reports break professional barriers and enhance doctor-patient communication.
03 Leading Scanning Technology Freqty's proprietary "Gaze" scanning technology uses self-developed projection chip modules and continuous stereoscopic photography. Video-style dynamic "gaze" scanning achieves natural anti-shake with "one frame, one calculation." Optical distortion is controlled through proprietary calibration algorithms, delivering high-precision 3D imaging and better performance on stained, bloody, or swollen tissues.
04 Solid "Three-High" Foundation
High accuracy & realism: Mature white-light LED + laser technology meets clinical standards for precision and color fidelity; algorithms effectively handle reflective materials (temporary crowns, moist gingiva).
High speed: Single-arch scans typically completed in 1–2 minutes with smooth real-time rendering.
High stability: Excellent performance under prolonged, high-intensity continuous use with relatively low failure rates.
2. Shining 3D (先临三维)
As a listed company in China's 3D digitalization sector, Shining 3D pursues a clear strategy of balanced performance, cost, and ecosystem compatibility rather than extreme specialization in any single technology, creating well-rounded "all-rounder" products.
01 Rich Software Functions & Digital Applications More than a simple impression tool - it serves as an integrated digital diagnosis and treatment platform. Features include occlusion analysis, undercut detection, margin-line extraction, oral health 3D reports, and orthodontic simulation. Visual and animated tools help doctors communicate conditions, treatment plans, and expected outcomes more effectively, increasing patient trust.
02 IPG Intraoral Photogrammetry Technology IPG (Intra-oral Photogrammetry) is specially designed for edentulous or complex implant cases. Integrated in the Aoralscan Elite, it captures implant positions and angles with extremely high precision (up to ±5 μm level). It effectively solves the accuracy challenges of conventional intraoral scanning under soft-tissue deformation and represents a core competitive advantage in complex implantology.
3. Alliedstar (联耀)
Alliedstar's strengths lie in pushing wireless performance to the extreme and achieving lifetime calibration-free operation, significantly lowering the usage threshold and maintenance costs. Slim design and remote-control functions deliver an outstanding digital experience for both doctors and patients.
01 DirectIP Technology Direct Implant Positioning Technology, paired with high-performance Alliedstar scanners, provides more efficient and accurate full-arch edentulous scanning solutions. The software actively identifies and suppresses soft-tissue interference on multi-unit abutments, reducing stitching errors caused by soft tissue and overcoming accuracy limitations in edentulous cases.
02 Lifetime Calibration-Free Through precision assembly and highly integrated components, Alliedstar pioneered lifetime calibration-free operation. Clinics no longer need time-consuming periodic calibration tools or procedures, saving doctor time and cost while ensuring consistent performance.
03 Wireless Capability & Ultra-Long Battery Life Industry-first wireless charging technology supports up to 2 hours of continuous scanning on a single charge. Placing the scanner on the charging base automatically charges it; removing it instantly wakes the device. One charge supports approximately 60 full-arch cases. Proprietary transmission technology delivers excellent range and interference resistance.
4. FUSSEN (菲森)
A well-known brand in China's digital dentistry field. FUSSEN scanners feature continuous color video scanning and open data formats, supported by a mature cloud-service ecosystem, open compatibility, and continuously enhanced AI applications, offering strong cost-performance.
01 Intraoral Scan + CBCT Integration AI intelligently fuses intraoral scan and CBCT 3D data to obtain tooth, mucosa, and alveolar bone information, generating one-click visual reports that clearly show alveolar bone resorption and gingival recession.
02 Dental X™ Chairside Automated Restorative Solution Dental X™ builds a new digital intelligence ecosystem by seamlessly connecting scan data with chairside design and manufacturing systems, realizing a fully automated restorative closed loop and significantly freeing doctors' time and energy.
5. Runyes (蓝野)
Runyes intraoral scanners are benchmark products among domestic digital equipment that balance accuracy and cost advantages. Independent technology enables high-precision modeling at highly competitive prices, helping numerous dental institutions worldwide transition smoothly to digital workflows.
01 Precise Scan-Body Scanning Dedicated implant scanning mode allows easy extraoral scanning of scan bodies with 1-second rapid matching to original intraoral data, improving accuracy and completeness of implant data while reducing scanning difficulty.
02 Rich Intelligent Functions AI scanning uses algorithms to remove soft-tissue interference in real time for cleaner results, suitable for edentulous cases and caries detection. Metal-scan optimization addresses strong reflections and noise. Occlusion analysis supports up to 5 sets of jaw-relation scans combined with clearance measurement.
03 Efficient Data Management Cloud sharing via QR code enables quick viewing on mobile phones and computers. Patients can share treatment plans with family. Automatic oral health reports identify caries, calculus, plaque, etc., after scanning.
6. Launca (朗呈)
Launca Medical is a pioneer in independent Chinese digital dentistry R&D. It launched China's first domestic intraoral scanner (DL-100) in 2015, achieving a breakthrough from zero to one in the field.
01 Good Stability As the first domestic manufacturer to launch an intraoral scanner, Launca possesses mature technology based on binocular vision imaging, offering relatively high accuracy and strong adaptability to complex oral structures. Products demonstrate good long-term stability.
02 Outstanding Cost-Performance Compared with imported brands, Launca scanners are typically priced at only 1/2 to 2/3 of equivalent products, significantly lowering the entry barrier and operating costs for dental clinics. Reliable performance that meets core clinical needs (accuracy, speed, stability) at an accessible price delivers high return on investment, combined with an open ecosystem and quality service tailored to the Chinese market.
Summary Domestic intraoral scanners have entered a stage of differentiated innovation. Their advantages do not necessarily lie in absolute leadership of any single technology, but in providing comprehensive solutions that better match Chinese market needs - high cost-performance, responsive service, and flexible integration into local digital chains.
