One important part of working with edentulous patients is [capturing important patient data](https://info.whipmix.com/video-what-are-people-saying-about-maxalign) to be used by the lab who will fabricate the dentures. Many times, when the lab receives a case, they become somewhat like a detective, as they work to put a puzzle together without really knowing what the end picture is like if key patient data is missing. For example: - What if there was an easy way to capture a patient’s photo with highlighted data points? - What if this information could be emailed to the lab to be used with patient models? - What if the lab could use this photography as an overlay to the actual model? - What if the lab could mount the model with confidence knowing that it matched the look of the patient? - What if the lab could tell if the model was accurate before mounting at all? Sounds too good to be true doesn’t it. However, it is possible with the help of [MaxAlign, an Android app](http://whipmix.com/products/maxalign/). Watch the video below as Dr. Shannon Johnson demonstrates how valuable patient data that is captured using MaxAlign is for the edentulous patient.     *What kind of patient data are you currently capturing? How is digital photography being utilized between the dentist & dental lab to facilitate communication?* [![5-ways-to-capture-patient-data-ebook-cta](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/111220/8cf8764f-7543-4be2-b124-1cba1f9f3bb9.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/111220/8cf8764f-7543-4be2-b124-1cba1f9f3bb9) ## Leave a comment ![Lorena Lighthart](https://info.whipmix.com/hs-fs/hub/111220/file-622988039.jpg) Written by [Lorena Lighthart](https://info.whipmix.com/author/lorena-lighthart) Lorena Lighthart is the Product Manager for the Clinical products division at Whip Mix.
