Step-by-step
STEP 1 - INITIAL SITUATION SCAN
Scan the patient's 3D models with an intraoral camera.
The MODJAW Tech in Motion device is compatible with files from any intraoral camera (STL, PLY or OBJ file).
STEP 2 – FACESCAN acquisition
Before acquiring the facescan, mark the following 3 skin reference points with a suitable pen:
• Right condyle
• Left condyle
• Subnasal point
Open the facescan application and start a new scan by selecting the "Automatic" option.
From a standing position, ask the patient to stare at a point on the horizon and smile.
Scan the patient's face from ear to ear.
A minimum of 20 photos is required. Press the "eye" icon to complete acquisition.
STEP 3 - RECORDING MANDIBULAR MOVEMENTS
Launch TWIM application and create a new patient.
When acquiring the skin reference points, place the tip of the stylus on the points marked on the patient's face. It's recommended to press very gently and without exerting pressure when acquiring the points.
STEP 4 – IMPORTING FACESCAN IN TWIM
Go to the patient page in TWIM and import the ZIP file directly into the "Face" insert.
Match the facescan on the patient's 3D scans by selecting the 4 anatomical points required on the screen
- right and left condyles
- nasion
- sub-nasal point
