📂 What Can Delay Turnaround Times

To keep your cases moving quickly, avoid:

• Incorrect or missing scan bodies
• Poor scan quality or holes in anatomy
• Missing implant system/platform details
• No shade photos for anterior cases
• Unstable or incorrect bite registration
• Missing patient instructions or preferences

These issues often require clarification or resubmission.

🚀 Tips for the Fastest Turnaround

• Upload all required files during checkout
• Use clear file names
• Provide complete case notes
• Include shade photos for anterior cases
• Respond quickly to requests for additional information
• Use PLY scans when color helps with margins or tissue
