Zak, here in the USA we have had this technology for some years now. You are right, the broken tooth is scanned and an exact copy machined for the patient. It is not cheap but the best solutions are never cheap. Personally I think it is qquite cost effective for this solution. This is incredible technology from Japan.

Fantastic machine tool – is this a customer job?
I heard that CNC technology is used in orthodontics in Japan, the USA & in Spain to re-create the persons tooth if it gets broken (I believe they scan the broken tooth & make an exact replica CAD model) – & it could be a massively growing sector.
