| Toothprints® was developed by a pediatric dentist
who began using
dental bite impressions as a way of
safeguarding his own child, and
other young patients. The thermoplastic wafer records the size and
shape
of a child’s teeth, the tooth position within
the arch, and the relationship between upper and lower
jaws.
Like fingerprints, dental imprints are unique
to every person, so bite impressions serve an accurate
method of identification--not even
identical twins have
the same bite characteristics. A Toothprints® impression
also captures saliva, which is a powerful source of
human
scent, thus making the wafer effective for scent-dog
tracking.
The saliva also provides a DNA sample.
The dentist will soften the patented thermoplastic wafer in a water bath,
and instruct your child to "open big, big like a lion then bite down tight
while I count to 10." It's that simple. Parents keep the Toothprints® disc
at home in a reclosable bag (provided), for confidentiality and quick access.
