Full Arch Scanning

For diagnostic cases, orthodontic aligners, or when sending a large restorative case (without drawing margins) to a
laboratory, select Full Arch as the restoration type on the Setup screen and click Scan to proceed.
Full Arch scanning is different than restorative scans in several ways:
• Setup screen information is not entered.
• Export only - PlanCAD and PlanMill not available
• No margins are drawn. If you are scanning a large restorative case and sending it to a lab, ensure the margins
are visible without the need for the Retract tool.
• Buccal scanning - double buccal is enabled. Scan the molars on each side to get accurate alignment.
• Models must be manually aligned.
Use the method on the following pages when using Full Arch scans for the fabrication of appliances. Failure to
capture using this method may result in loss of accuracy.
