Orthodontic digital treatment planning systems allow clinicians to plan many types of orthodontic treatment in a digital environment, often eliminating the need for physical models. These software programs use digital impression scans and other 3D images to create a digital model where the tooth movements can be precisely planned in order to design the most effective appliances for the case. These systems offer great efficiency and accuracy, as well as make record keeping a simpler task. Be sure to get thorough training on any new treatment planning software you implement.

| Treatment Planning | A 3-D Diagnostic Model is created from an alginate impression or scanned plaster model. These digital models provide an initial record of your patient. With SureSmile, you can use the Diagnostic Model to simulate different treatment options. Use the bracket of your choice to bond the patient as you normally would and use a straight-wire for leveling. You will scan the patient three to six months after bonding using the OraScanner® or Cone-Beam Computed Tomagraphy. The scan records the bracket and tooth location. The SureSmile Digital Lab creates a mid-treatment or Therapeutic Model from the scan data. The Therapeutic Model is used for set-up and treatment planning. SureSmile uses complex algorithms to create the wire design based on the approved Set-up model. These calculations compensate for variances such as manufacturing tolerances, biology and bracket placement. The SureSmile archwire is made using a robotic customization process that provides precise control of first, second and third order movement. | Creation of 3D Digital Model
