1. An intra-oral scanning and image data module comprising:
a) a housing having a distal and proximal end, a first aperture proximate to said distal end, and a second aperture proximate to said proximal end, said housing containing
i) a first mirror angled at 45° relative to said first aperture;
ii) a second mirror angled at 45° relative to said second aperture;
b) said first and second mirrors angled relative to each other such that light entering said first aperture is redirected to exit said second aperture;
