The forehead pad is an accessory fitted on the intra‑oral scanner. It rests against the patient's forehead to capture facial positioning data during scanning. It generally features a regular streamlined shape.
The contour of the forehead pad is ergonomically shaped to fit the curve of the human forehead and stay firmly fixed in place. It is mostly made of soft, elastic cushioning material. The soft surface enables close skin contact while preventing discomfort or pressure marks on the patient's forehead.
Forehead pads come in multiple colour options. White and grey are the most mainstream shades, which help operators check placement status and alignment clearly during operation. Its dimension is customized to match the overall scanner structure. The cushion covers a proper area on the forehead to guarantee reliable facial‑reference coordinates.
In operation, patients lean their forehead gently against the pad. This component assists the device with spatial positioning for precise intra‑oral scanning. Accurate positioning improves scanning efficiency and delivers dependable data for oral diagnosis and customized treatment planning.
