After capturing a face scan, you can choose to align the face data with the intraoral scan data either automatically or manually. If you did not import the intraoral data during order creation, click “Import Intraoral Data” on the right panel to load it. You can align two sets of facial data using the same procedures described below.
Automatic Alignment
Click “Auto Align”, and the software will automatically perform the alignment.
Manual Alignment
Steps:
1. Click “Enter Manual Align”.
2. Add 3-12 corresponding markers on the teeth in both the facial data and intraoral scan data sections.
Note: The added points should not be in a straight line.
3. Click “Manual Alignment” to generate alignment.
Post-Alignment Review
You can evaluate the alignment effect and accuracy using the “Heat Map” or reset the alignment with “Reset Align”.
Name | Description |
Heat Map | Displays the alignment effect using numerical values and color coding: green indicates an ideal fit, red indicates a positive deviation, and blue signifies a negative deviation. Click on the heat map to add labels showing the numerical values. Use “Clear” or double-click on a label to remove it. |
Reset Align | Deletes the current aligned model and allows you to re-align the data. |
Once the scan alignment is complete, click “Go to Pre-design” to edit the scanned data. You can also send the order to Dental Cloud. For more details, refer to the Data Processing section.
