Drop in your scans and let Bite-Finder sort them

Every case starts with your scan files. Drag them onto the window (or click to browse) — Bite-Finder recognizes each file and sorts it into Upper or Lower.

Only an upper and lower jaw are required. You can also add:

  • Attachment — merged with the jaw and included in the bite calculation.
  • Movable — moved together with the lower jaw into the bite.
  • Margin line — moved along with the jaw.
  • Tracked motion — your own pre-recorded jaw movement (optional; normally Bite-Finder calculates the motion for you).
  • Skull / CBCT — used occasionally, to improve dynamic-occlusion precision from the real anatomy.

A pre-op scan (taken before the tooth was prepared) can also be loaded — it preserves the original bite information that’s otherwise lost once a tooth is prepped.

If a file lands on the wrong jaw, open its menu to reassign it or switch jaws. Anything Bite-Finder can’t place is set aside as Unassigned so you can sort it — nothing is lost.

💡

Naming tip: clear names like upper / lower, uj / lj, or ok / uk help Bite-Finder put a scan on the right jaw automatically.

Once both jaws are loaded, click Continue. Supported files: STL, PLY, and 3Shape DCM.
