<p>Smilecloud has transformed the way you Design, by developing new, highly automated, AI-driven tools that allow you to simulate different scenarios in just one click, with enhanced photorealism.&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Hide Patient teeth from design.&nbsp;</strong></h2><p>Now you can choose to hide the patient's original teeth, allowing you to better simulate reductive designs.</p><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://youtu.be/E_TIFpnsevI"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/E_TIFpnsevI" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure><h2><strong>3D Libraries.</strong>&nbsp;</h2><p>Libraries are now rendered as 3D objects on the face, giving you more freedom to position, scale and even rotate its vertical axis to see different angles of the same shape. &nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/2f9b48c9-ac4a-4149-8f5f-5a407792b368"></figure><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2><strong>The best experience regardless of angle.</strong>&nbsp;</h2><p>The previous Smile Design version was highly dependent on the portrait position. Now, you can use multiple angles of the portrait and get the same high-quality, photo-realistic rendering.&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://youtu.be/lvKJaMbIfLM"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lvKJaMbIfLM" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure><p><span style="color:hsl(0,75%,60%);"><i>* Take note that only slight angulations of the head position can be used, in a 30 degree maximum angle.&nbsp;</i></span></p><figure class="image"><img src="https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/d2fcae42-8585-4e03-adee-c2c01f5d61ec"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>One step Smile Design</strong></h2><p>Design is now even more automated. If in the previous version, you needed to go manually through the Face alignment, lip contour, and restorative space, these steps are now automated, allowing for Design to be done in 1 step. However, you can fine-tune any of the steps if you choose to.&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://youtu.be/C-WWXkDhgFg"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C-WWXkDhgFg" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Create a Blueprint</strong></h2><p>Start from a previously created Smile Design, and stack your available files. Take note that at least an upper scan is mandatory.&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/93aa3b30-df50-4e1f-87b5-6277bdf84794"></figure><h2><strong>Stack&nbsp;</strong></h2><p><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:hsl(0,0%,0%);">Highly automated processes that harness the true power of data. Visualize the full picture, leaving no dark corners. Integrate images, scans, CBCT, and Motion into a single, unified source of truth.&nbsp;</span></p><p>Blueprint is packed with AI technology that <strong>segments and aligns</strong> your files in one click. All this information will become a faithful, virtual copy of your patient.&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://youtu.be/0WRC7ifswHc"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0WRC7ifswHc" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure><h2><strong>Structure</strong></h2><p><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:hsl(0,0%,0%);">From simple to complex, any scenario will be better mitigated in day-by-day practice.&nbsp;</span></p><p>On this step, you will select the teeth you wish to restore. To select multiple teeth, <strong>hold Command or Control on your keyboard</strong> and select them with mouse clicks. You can choose to reshape, remove or both.</p><p>You can also take the same actions for the lower arch. Then, go to Simulate.</p><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://youtu.be/XftOUrN6iM0"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XftOUrN6iM0" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure><h2><strong>Simulate - design in 3D</strong></h2><p>The virtual patient is synced, meaning that any chages you make on 3D will be rendered in real time on the portrait, and viceversa.&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://youtu.be/M0Sf6JZy3c8"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/M0Sf6JZy3c8" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure><p>&nbsp;</p>
