Overview
Orthodontic Simulation uses the patient intraoral data to automatically generate the orthodontic simulation programs and reports. Users can take visualized methods to preview and compare programs and generate corresponding reports to enhance the understanding and acceptance of patients and reduce communication costs and revision of treatments. Orthodontic Simulation in FScan is in accordance with that in IntraoralScan, and you can refer to Orthodontic Simulation 3.0 in IntraoralScan to conduct the module.
How to display facial orthodontic simulation animation?
STEP 1: Create an order
Create an order based on the intraoral data and input all necessary items. Click the “Scan” button.
STEP 2: Collect facial data
Scan facial data Normally.
STEP 3: Align intraoral data with facial data
After confirming the facial data, click the “Face Align” in the workflow bar.
Next, click the “Auto Align” to align facial and intraoral data automatically, and check the results with a heat map.
Tips:
If necessary, click the “Enter Manual Align” button to pick 3 points from each model to get aligned.
STEP 4: Lip lines extraction
Click the “Go to Pre-design” and the “Lip Line Extraction” button on the bar.
Click the “Auto extraction” button to generate lip lines.
Modify the lip lines by dragging points. After confirming by a heat map, click the “slicing” button.
STEP 5: Create simulation programs
Click the “ConsulOS” in the workflow bar and select the facial data.
STEP 6: Model adjustment
After running the orthodontic simulation module, adjust the model in the coordinate by dragging the points on the face and clicking the “Straighten” button.
STEP 7: Teeth confirm
Click the “Next step” to confirm the segmentation results, and modify the areas or change tooth number and quantity with tools if necessary.
STEP 8: Program confirm
Click the “Next step” to confirm the orthodontic program by checking teeth, the program’s name, and the patient’s arch shape.
We provided 3 shapes of arch to select, including oval, squircle , and vesica piscis. Users should choose one according to the actual situation.
Then, click “Auto creation” to generate an orthodontic program automatically.
STEP 9: Display
Click the “Play” button after the creation stage of the programs. If you have created several programs, a pop-up will remind you of the selection of a program to display after clicking the “Play” button.
Switch the facial model and intraoral model by the buttons on the right side if you want to switch animations.
