Repositioning bone segments
The natural head position is used as a reference frame for the movement axes when virtually repositioning bone fragments to the desired position.
To reposition a bone segment:
Click the Surgery tab.
Choose the type of surgical movement.
 |
None, the default state, is the starting point for which no Surgery tab is shown on the smart panel. Moving bone segments cannot be started until you have chosen a specific surgery type. After planning a surgery, go back to the pre-op view by clicking the None action. In this way visualize the difference between pre-op and planned on the model. |
 |
Maxilla based: The mandible follows the movement of the maxilla. This will only be possible when an occlusion was loaded. |
 |
Mandible based: The maxilla follows the movement of the mandible. |
Note
Once you have chosen a surgery type, switching to another surgery type remains possible.
On the smart panel click Surgery 
.
Select the movement type for the specified bone segments.
 |
Maxilla Occlusion. Choose Defined by patient scan, Defined by loaded occlusion scan (physical occlusion) or Defined by virtual occlusion scan (virtual occlusion) from the drop-down list. |
 |
Mandible Occlusion. Choose Defined by patient scan, Defined by loaded occlusion scan (physical occlusion) or Defined by virtual occlusion scan (virtual occlusion) from the drop-down list. |
 |
Rotation / Autorotation (only mandible) |
 |
Translation |
Click and drag the bone fragment in the 3D scene to translate or to rotate it. Alternatively, fill out the translation distance or rotation angle on the smart panel.
Click Finish to stop the actions, and to collapse the options on the smart panel.
