Question Need help opening a .INV file type.

[seraphim22]

Hi all,

I'm at my wits end! Really need some help here.

I have a .INV file, it's from my dentist and it is a 3D scan of my teeth (one of which I need to have a dental implant).

Long story short - I have this file and need to open it, but for the life of me I cannot find any software to download which can open it. I am not familiar with .INV at all. I understand probably the software which opens this is specialised dentistry software but I still need it! Even if only a JPEG would be produced. It would be something.

Does anyone have any recommendations please? Help is super appreciated and thank you in advance! I can also share the file is required.

I think they are Invivo files....and are probably exclusive to Invivo.

Here is a viewer I found.

InVivoDental Viewer. Get the software safely and easily.

Free-to-use application for Windows OS that allows you to open .inv files format.

invivodentalviewer.software.informer.com

I haven't tried it.

Hi Jay,

Thank you for your reply, I found this too and unfortunately if you try to download it, you simply get the "page not found" message. So I can't even try it. I did find a very similar link on the same site, the version was slightly different and I managed to download it, but it required a licence number to install/activate so I couldn't proceed further.

You may have a hard time because it looks to be a proprietary file format.
There may not be many...or any freeware viewers for it.

Ask the dentist that gave you this proprietary format if they can send you a more portable format like JPG or PDF. Tell them you need it for consultation use.
