Why Medit Intraoral Scanners
Are Medit scanners good intraoral scanners?
Yes, Medit scanners—particularly the i700 and wireless i700—are excellent intraoral scanners. Independent reviews consistently praise their combination of speed, accuracy, comfort, and affordability:
The Medit i700 delivers full-arch scans in under 40 seconds, sometimes as fast as 18 seconds, rivaling premium brands like TRIOS, CEREC, and iTero
Weighing just 245 g—25 % smaller and 12 % lighter than the i500—the i700 is notably ergonomic, even compared to competitors that weigh over 300 g.
Built-in AI scanning tools effectively remove artifacts (tongue, cheek) and manage bite alignment. Its segmental (“smart”) scanning enables separate quadrant scans that are later stitched together.
Independent research and user polls place the Medit i700 and wireless version among the top-ranked intraoral scanners, especially for speed, support, ease of use, and cost.
How accurate are Medit scanners?
Accuracy is clinically excellent:
The i700 builds on research-proven accuracy from the i500 series; studies show no clinically significant differences between Medit and premium scanners.
Performance across full-arch and quadrant scans meets professional standards; one report cites a full-arch precision accuracy of 10.9 µm ± 0.98.
What’s the difference between wired and wireless i700?
The i700 Wireless offers identical core performance to the wired version: same scan speed, accuracy and functionality.
Main advantages: no cable, battery life supports ~60 continuous minutes (or 30 full arch scans) and comes with quick-swap batteries and docking station.

How do Medit models compare: i600, i700, i900?
i600 – mid-range (35 fps), similar to i700 in scans but lacks UV‑C disinfection, HD mode, and remote controls.
i700 – flagship wired, fast, ergonomic, and best value with full feature set (UV‑C, remote control) .
i700 Wireless – same as i700 with added mobility
i900 – newest model with largest head, slightly sharper scans, and fastest speed; ideal for high-volume clinics.
How much do Medit scanners cost?
i600 wired: from £6,300 + Vat which is a great entry point into digital dentistry.
i700 wired: around £9,495 + Vat, significantly less than many competitors with a simular specification .
i700 Wireless: approx. £9,495 + Vat, perfect if you are looking for a wireless option, but do bare in mind some practices aren’t appropriate for wireless models causing interference and connectivity issues, so please bare this in mind when weighing up wired vs wireless intraoral scanners.
i900 Classic: from £11,300 + Vat, fantastic price point for a high end premium featured scanner.
i900: starting from £12,945 + Vat, for the top of the range model that Medit offers.
Other cost considerations:
In addition to the scanner costs, you also need to consider the purchase of a laptop that sufficiently runs the Medit software. We advise and supply Apple MacBooks with our Medit Scanners with additional costs ranging from £1800 - £2500 for the laptop, which differs slightly dependent on the model of scanner.

Q: Are Medit scanners in-house CAD/CAM capable?
Medit scanners export full-color STL files and integrate with Medit Apps. But for milling/design, you'll need external CAD/CAM software (e.g., Exocad)
Q: Do Medit scanners require subscriptions?
No subscription for scanning. Only paid cloud storage beyond 1 GB–10 GB. Apps are included free .
Final thoughts
Medit scanners, especially the i700 (and i700 Wireless if portability matters), are top-tier intraoral scanners with premium-level performance at a fraction of the cost. They score highly in speed, accuracy, ergonomics, and software usability. The broader Medit ecosystem (i600 → i900) provides strong scalability for clinics of all sizes.
