27 Orthodontics Module
Blue Sky Plan makes it possible to plan orthodontic treatments based on imported STL models of the jaw with teeth. All of the controls are available in the "Orthodontics" panel. Planning begins with an intro screen entitled "Orthodontics", where the user selects the type of planning – "Aligners", "Indirect Bonding Tray - Align Brackets to Teeth", or "Indirect Bonding Tray - Align Brackets to Wire". For more information, see chapter 3 "Blue Sky Launcher".

The specific type of planning can't be changed in an upcoming process. You can view the selected type of planning for your project in the top left corner of the 3D window where the patient data is shown. The functions for model preparation are identical in all types of planning. Specifically, this includes the steps for Loading the Input Model, Jaw Alignment, Teeth Segmentation and Model Trimming. The individual types of planning include: Aligners: Teeth Moving – Edit Steps – Add Attachments (optional) – Design Aligners or Aligner Trim Curve (optional) – Export. IBT (Align Brackets to Teeth): Add Brackets – Prepare IBT – Export. IBT (Align Brackets to Wire): Teeth Moving – Edit Steps – Add Brackets – Prepare IBT – Export.
