<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>

<p>Blueprint is not only for full arch smile design. Use it to design a single crown, using only scans.&nbsp;</p><p>Here is how to do it:&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://youtu.be/1khBv8RAfvc"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1khBv8RAfvc" 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>
