Retracted face scanning
Click 
during scanning and add a retracted face stage when the tooth data in the smile face fails to align with the intraoral data.
Caution
Please wear a disposable medical mouth gag during scanning.
Steps
1.Adjust the face Position.
● Place the scanner about 500mm away from the face and the distance indicator shows "Suitable".
● Center you face in the recognition frame until it turns green.
2.Choose 
Handheld Mode or 
Fixed Mode on the lower left.
Note
The window will mirror the scanned face when the scanner is in fixed mode.
● Handheld Mode: The doctor hold the scanner to scan the patient's face across at a constant speed.
● Fixed Mode: Place the scanner on a flat surface with the lens level with the patient's face. The patient then turns his/her head at a constant speed from side to side.
3.Click 
and start scanning; or hold the position, and the scanning will start after a 3 seconds countdown. You can also press space bar to start.
