Available only for:
- Crown
- Night guard
Second Bite Scan Options - Skip Scan
When scanning restorations, only one bite scan is required. The second bite scan is optional. It helps verify the first bite on full arch scans, and is irrelevant for quadrant scans.
To Skip the bite scan - simply click the skip button on the left hand side of the screen.
Manage Bite Alignment Challenges
The scanner provides specific options when the software cannot automatically align the bite scans.
Several aspects could cause the scan not to auto align:
- Scanning too quickly
- Malocclusion
- Moisture
- Movement by the patient
- Arch scans are missing buccal information
- Bite scans not capturing enough gingiva
Select Manual Alignment Options
If the user prefers to resolve the alignment immediately, the scanner offers alternative manual tools.
Click the More options button.
Select Reset Scans to delete current data and restart the bite scan process.
-
Select Manually Align to open the manual alignment menu and align the bite scans manually.
-
The system will walk them through each step of alignment, starting with the lower arch.
- On the left - full arch scan previously captured
- On the right - bite scan that was just captured
