Once the staged model series has been generated, go to the Tooth Movements tab and verify that the series is feasible and meets your treatment objectives.
Within the target simulation, the Tooth Movements tab expands to accommodate the model series.
When this area first appears, the tooth movement values are displayed as cumulative amounts and the R stage is selected. It contains the total tooth movements. You have many options for viewing tooth movements to ensure that the values are appropriate.
Cells highlighted indicate the following:
The Staged Timeline tab shows the starting and ending stages for each group of movements. The system shows the maximum actual movement per stage in each cell.
You can also view the movements by tooth. Switch between the upper or lower arch at the top left of the Staged Timeline tab.
You can change the starting (first stage) or ending point (last stage) for each set of movements by choosing Start or End, or choose Spread Out to spread the movements throughout the stages. Start and ending stages for a movement type can extend over multiple groups.
You can change the starting (first stage) or ending point (last stage) for each set of movements by choosing Start or End, or choose Spread Out to spread the movements throughout the stages. Start and ending stages for a movement type can extend over multiple groups.
Choose whether to view values cumulatively or incrementally:
Use the animation player to view the movements in the staged model sequence. It is available on both the Displacements tab and the Staged Timeline tab. The animation player runs an animation of the entire treatment plan, showing tooth movement from the initial state to the final tooth position.
The Constraints dialog box opens. You can change the constraints setting from the drop-down menu and/or click Edit to modify the groups and/or maximum rates of movement for this patient.
The Constraints dialog box opens. You can change the constraints setting from the drop-down menu and/or click Edit to modify the automatic attachment placement for this patient.
The Constraints dialog box opens. You can change the constraints setting from the drop-down menu and/or click Edit to modify the groups and/or maximum rates of movement for the stages previous to the selected stage. If no edits are needed, click OK.
The Constraints dialog box opens. You can change the constraints setting from the drop-down menu and/or click Edit to modify the groups and/or maximum rates of movement for the stages after the selected stage. If no edits are needed, click OK.
Now examine the movements per tooth through the stages:
SureSmile® automatically inserts an indicator (orange triangle) to show when to apply IPR.
IPR is indicated on the 3D model with a small gold label with a number indicating the amount of IPR proposed by the system.
To turn these labels on/off go to Guide Tools and click the IPR/Attachments icon.
The IPR indicators are shown on the timeline and on the 3D model. Hover over the gold inverted triangle on the timeline with your mouse to display the IPR pop-up for the stage shown in the 3D window.
Over-correction can be applied to the staged model sequence. You can specify in your Preferences how many Over-correction stages to apply as well as thresholds for particular movements.
Click the icon to the left of the Patient ID search box, then click Preferences.
Click the Aligner Overcorrections tab. Next to Over-Correction Type choose Amount or Percent. Use the check boxes under Include Over to include or exclude particular movements. Change the movement thresholds under Threshold as needed. Change over-correction values under Over Amount or Over % (depending on which over-correction type you chose). Choose how many over-correction stages to apply next to Apply Stage Count Maximum. Click Save.
Over-correction stages are applied to the end of the staged model sequence and are highlighted in green with the letter “O” before the stage number. The last stage before the over-corrections is denoted with a “#” before the stage number.
The Overcompensation Stages icon found in the Display palette can be used to hide/show the over-correction stages.
