Show Notes
Bite-Finder CEO Björn Zäuner joins Dr. Ahmad to reveal what the data from millions of scans actually shows — and the number is worse than most dentists want to admit.
Björn built Bite-Finder from the inside out. Starting with his family's dental lab, he identified that occlusion, shade, and contacts were the three leading causes of crown remakes — and set out to solve the bite problem with software. Today, Bite-Finder is integrated directly into exocad and a growing list of scanners, and over 12,000 users worldwide have signed up since its public launch in 2023.
In this episode, Dr. Ahmad and Björn go deep on why bad bites happen, what the data actually shows across scanner brands, and what labs and dentists can do right now to improve their outcomes. They also cover the xSNAP acquisition, patient-specific articulators, Margin Finder, AI-powered scan QC, and the bigger vision of making quality dentistry accessible at scale.
If you work with an intraoral scanner or run a dental lab, this one is worth your time.
