Guide the bite calculation by marking key areas

Marking lets you guide the bite calculation by highlighting areas of the scan. It’s usually done before you run a case, or on a rerun to refine the result.

Two ways to mark:

• Brush — drag over the surface to paint an area. Adjust the brush size to work faster or more finely.
• Lasso — draw an outline around a region and the whole inside is marked at once.

What each mark does:

• Contact — tells Bite-Finder to try to create contact in this area.
• Avoid — tells it to try to avoid contact here — useful to nudge the result toward a more clinically correct bite.
• Ignore — leaves the area out of the calculation entirely and allows overlap there — mainly for scan artefacts.
• Erase — removes a marking.

Prefer not to mark by hand? Automatic Marking tells teeth from gums for you and sets ignore areas automatically — and your own markings always take priority. Reset all clears everything.
