Place a clean scan tip on the scanner with the mirror facing down for lower arch scanning. Use your finger or a dental mirror to create space between the teeth, lips, and cheeks.
The recommended scanning path consists of three sweeps: occlusal, lingual, and buccal, to ensure good data coverage of all surfaces. The best scanning method is to start with the molar occlusal surface since it has greater details for easier identification. Three to five clicks, then move towards the incisors. Slowly wiggle the scanner when passing the centrals and continue until you reach the last molar. Remember to move your scanner smoothly without jumping around.
When you reach the last molar, turn slowly lingual, taking care firstly of areas where soft tissue may interfere with the scan. Roll the scanner 60 to 90 degrees to the lingual side. Use the tip to keep the tongue away. Go along the lingual surface of the whole arch until you reach the last molar on the opposite side. Roll to the buccal side and complete the buccal swipe. Go along the bottle surface of the whole arch. Use your finger to keep the cheek away.
Inspect the result by rotating the scan. If an important area is missing, simply start scanning the area again. When scanning is complete, you can inspect the result and prepare the scan by trimming unnecessary parts.
Upper arch: As an option, you can choose to turn the tip up for easier upper arch scanning. Use your finger or a dental mirror to create space between the teeth, lips, and cheeks if necessary.
The recommended scanning path consists of three swipes: occlusal, buccal, and palatal, to ensure good data coverage of all surfaces. Start the scanner while it rests occlusal on the molar. Wait three to five clicks. Move towards the centrals, capturing the occlusal surface. Slowly wiggle the scanner when passing the centrals and again continue along the occlusal surface until you reach the last molar.
Turn slowly buckle by rotating the scanner 60 to 90 degrees at the last molar and the buccal swipe, taking care of areas where soft tissue may interfere with the scan. Go along the buccal side until you reach the last molar on the opposite side. Then roll to the palatal side and complete the swipe. Go along the whole arch. If you wish to include the pallet into the scan, swipe back to position the scanner behind the incisors and then slowly go from side to side across the pallet in the distal direction.
When scanning is complete, you can inspect the result and prepare the scan by trimming unnecessary parts. If an important area is missing, simply start scanning the area.
