SmartSetup™ settings can be adjusted to change the outcome of the SmartSetup™ calculation.
1. Open the SmartSetup Settings dialog.
2. In the Quality group, indicate whether you want to calculate the models in Maximum, Optimal, or Low quality. Please note that maximum quality models take a long time to be computed. Depending on your selection, more or less teeth will be taken into account in the calculation.
— Maximum: all scanned teeth will be included in the calculation of the SmartSetup™. Calculation time will be longer than when the Optimal solution is chosen.
— Optimal: the teeth needed to calculate an optimal result are taken into account., while at the same time the calculation time is kept within reason.
— Low: a minimum number of teeth will be taken into account when calculating the SmartSetup™. Calculation time will be shorter than when the Optimal quality model is chosen.
3. In the SmartSetup™ group decide whether or not to calculate the virtual teeth according to the following criteria:
— Remove gaps for tooth setups: most of the time you want to reduce the gaps between neighboring teeth. There are, however, situations in which the gap to be filled is way too big. If you select this option, the virtual tooth might grow too big. In such a case it might be better to switch off the Remove gaps for tooth setup option. By default this option is selected for All teeth. You can select from the drop-down box the tooth or teeth from which you want to remove the in-between gaps.
— Position based on opposing teeth: select this option if you wish to position the SmartSetup™ exactly like the opposing teeth. Be aware, however, that patients mostly do not have a fully symmetrical arch, so using this function might result in a less optimal result. Therefore this option is switched off by default. But the user can switch it on and check whether this might end up in a better calculated result or not.
— Optimize frontal teeth aesthetics: This action is based on a set of rules to determine or calculate the most aesthetic outcome. These rules include, for example, that the incisal edge of the central incisors should be at the same height and that the same width should be applied to the central incisors. This is also applicable to the lateral incisors and to the canines.
— Include third molar(s): If the scan range includes the third molars, this option is selected by default. If this option is selected, the size, shape and position of the third molar(s) are taken into account when calculating the size, shape, and position of the SmartSetup™.
— Additional fine-tuning of the occlusion: If antagonist information is available, this option is selected by default. The antagonist information is taken into account to fine-tune the occlusion when calculating the SmartSetup™.
