Orthodontic Simulation

Simulate orthodontic treatment solution, and view the expected effect according to different treatment solutions. Click on the pre-design interface to enter the orthodontic simulation interface. Orthodontic simulation can be divided into tooth segmentation, modeling and tooth setup.

Note

When creating a new order, select the Dentistry Type as Orthodontics to enable the orthodontic simulation function.

Pre-processing

Edit the model data to make preparation for tooth segmentation.

Icon	Name	Description
	Adjust Coordinate	Check the center position from 3 perspectives. Press left mouse button and move to adjust the center position of the model. : Reset the coordinates of upper and lower jaw to the original position.
	Trim Model	Delete unnecessary scanning data of the model. Change the brush size by dragging the slide. ● Press left mouse button and move the cursor to delete model data. ● Scroll up and down the wheel to zoom in and out of the model. ● Press right mouse button and move the cursor to adjust the perspective of the model.
	Edit Surface	Remove image noise on the model and make the model surface smoother. Improve the quality of data.
	Perspective Control Panel	Check the model from different perspectives.

Tooth Segmentation

Tooth segmentation will mark position of each tooth and distinguish them with different colors. You can edit, delete and add information to the tooth position. It is easy for you to check the expected effect of each tooth after orthodontics.

Icon	Name	Description
	Modify Area	If the tooth is not fully colored or too much color is painted, the tooth cannot be correctly identified. You need to manually adjust and edit the tooth area. Click Area to recolor the tooth.
	Adjust Frame	Professionals are required to readjust each tooth direction. By three-dimensional coordinate system on each tooth, you can adjust the teeth orthodontics direction. ● Press the grey origin and move the 3D coordinate system. ● Press left mouse button and move the cursor to adjust the direction of the coordinate.
	Change Tooth Number	Click the number on the tooth to change it.
	Remove Teeth	1 Select the tooth needed to be deleted. 2 Click to delete its mark. 3 Click to confirm deletion.
	Add Tooth	Fill the teeth as needed. Click a missing tooth and add a tooth. You can set the tooth number and radius.
	Object Control Panel	Choose to display tooth number, texture, frame, area and features or not.

Tooth Setup

Tooth setup shows and visualize the effect of orthodontics. Features are following:

● You can create your own plans (Maximum is 3) and preview the effect.
● The process of orthodontics is displayed by animation.
● You can setup the teeth manually.

Note

You can click Setup to enter setup interface if the segmentation is completed.

Create a Plan

Icon	Name	Description
	Fit views	Press Ctrl and select multiple plans. The treatment effect of plans is displayed by fit views.
	Measurement	Bolton Analysis: Refers to the proportion relation between the sum of crown widths of upper and lower anterior teeth and the sum of crown widths of all upper and lower dental arches. The proportion relation is divided into anterior ratio and whole ratio. Use the Bolton index to diagnose the incompatibility of tooth width between upper and lower dental arch. The Bolton index analysis assists in the diagnosis and analysis of the formation mechanism of malformation, and plays as a reference factor for treatment planning.
	Rename	Rename the treatment plan.
	Upload	Export or upload your plan to Dental Cloud.
	Delete	Delete the plan.

Animation

Play the whole process of orthodontic treatment. Preview the effect of different treatment plans.

Manual Setup

You can set up the tooth manually.

Icon	Name	Description
	Move	Move the tooth.
	Rotate	Rotate the tooth with tooth root as the origin.
	Twist	Twist the tooth from side to side with the root as the origin.
