Step 5 - Arrive at the 'Review' menu. Review scans with your patient.

  • Tools to explore on the 'Review' menu while reviewing with your patient:
    • Active HD scans - sharpen the detail and quality of your scans for a clearer view.
    • Annotate scans - draw, circle, point, and add text directly to your scans.
    • Bite analysis - display the patient's bite forces across their arches.
    • Share scans with patient - share your scans digitally (SMS message or email) or generate a printable PDF to hand to your patient. Click here to learn more about this tool.
