Get a good start
:
•
Start at preparation (or 1st molar if antagonist).
•
Wait for about 5 scanner "clicks" before proceeding (helps build up a good starting point).
•
Complete preparation including preparation line.
•
Scan neighboring teeth: Occlusion, lingual/palatinal side, buccal/labial side.

Move the scanner slowly and smoothly
, you should hear a more rapid clicking sound.
