In the literature, these 2 references enable the positioning of teeth while respecting the inclination of the occlusal plane in relation to the axio-orbital plane in the anteroposterior direction, as well as obtaining both the homogeneous approximation of the occlusal tables and the absence of posterior interference by defining the inclinations in the frontal plane of the edges of pluri-cuspid teeth. 

The occlusal curve combined with the positioning of the condyles enables the display of the Monson Sphere.

TWIM™ software generates this individualized data in a few clicks.

Once 3D and 4D data acquisition has been completed, the practitioner can work on the dynamic virtual patient and prepare the data to be sent to the dental technician. It is at this treatment planning stage that the practitioner makes clinical decisions and communicates with the laboratory to ensure a predictable and reproducible treatment.

The occlusal curve has 2 major benefits:

• For the dentist, it highlights the patient's occlusal plane and becomes objective data that can be transferred

• For the dental technician, it serves as a guide, provided by the patient

Whether for occlusal balancing or for partial and global rehabilitations, the occlusal curve generated in TWIM™ is an ally both in the clinic and in the laboratory, to be used without moderation. Let's discover its use through the following clinical case study.

There are 2 steps in the use of the feature : 

• Generating the occlusal curve: in just a few clicks, TWIM™ software generates the patient's occlusal plane. Depending on the clinical situation, the curve will be more or less inclined.

• Repositioning the occlusal curve: you can play with the cursors to generate a curve which will then serve as a guide for the dental technician during digital design.
