Bite Alignment Procedure:
The bite alignment procedure will be necessary to align the upper and lower jaws.
This process will only be allowed if lower and upper jaw scans have been previously
conducted. Once the Bite button is pressed, it may take a few seconds to load the
previous scans.
1.
Start scanning from the back of the upper buccal area. Move forward and
backwards along the molar and pre-molar area, making sure to scan some
of the gingiva area and to tilt the handpiece upward slightly. When an initial
alignment is found the jaw will be transformed into alignment with the bite
scan. When a final alignment is found the application will “ring” and a green
check mark will appear on the upper jaw image in the upper right corner of the
application.
2.
Once the upper jaw is aligned, move the handpiece down to the lower jaw
Again, move the handpiece forward and backwards along the buccal of the
molar and pre-molar areas, making sure to scan some of the gingiva area, and
tilt the handpiece downward slightly. The update process for the lower jaw
is like that of the upper jaw, except when a final alignment is found a green
check mark will appear on the lower jaw image in the upper right corner of the
application.
3.
When both jaws have been aligned, pause the scan and review the alignment.
If occlusal between the upper and lower scans is observed, you can choose
to restart the bite alignment process or export the scans to fine tune the
alignment in a third-party application.
