Q: What can I use the MetiSmile Face Scanner for?
The MetiSmile Face Scanner is incredibly versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications, including orthodontics, prosthodontics, and cosmetic dentistry.
Q: What is Jaw Motion (Metismile Add-on Module)?
Jaw Motion Module (TMJ Functional Analysis)
The Jaw Motion module captures and analyses the dynamic movement of the mandible, allowing clinicians to visualise how the jaw moves during opening, closing, and lateral movements.
This module provides valuable insights into temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function, helping clinicians better understand the patient’s functional patterns and potential sources of discomfort.
Key benefits:
Tracks mandibular movement in real time
Helps analyse TMJ function and jaw movement patterns
Assists in diagnosing occlusal or functional imbalance
Useful for complex restorative cases, orthodontics, and full-mouth rehabilitation
Supports more accurate digital articulation in CAD design
By analysing jaw movement alongside facial and intraoral data, clinicians can build a more comprehensive digital patient profile.
Q: What is Ideal Jaw Relationship (Metismile Add-on Module)?
Ideal Jaw Relationship Module (MMR Recording)
The Ideal Jaw Relationship module allows clinicians to digitally record the patient’s Maxillo-Mandibular Relationship (MMR) using the MetiSmile facial scanner.
This module helps capture the natural relationship between the upper jaw (maxilla) and lower jaw (mandible) while the patient is in a relaxed and natural bite position. The data can then be integrated into the digital workflow for treatment planning and restorative design.
Key benefits:
Records the patient’s natural bite relationship in a digital format
Helps verify occlusal balance and symmetry
Supports digital smile design and full-arch rehabilitation planning
Improves communication between dentist, lab, and patient
By incorporating facial data with jaw relationship records, clinicians can achieve more predictable aesthetic and functional outcomes.
