Modules

Define the objective of the virtual treatment: 3D V.T.O. module

The V.T.O.3D module offers you a rich functionality for automatic and interactive tooth position corrections on a segmented digital model.
Focusing on recognized ortho- and prosthodontic criteria the occlusion and the mandibular articulation. You only need to apply different steps in a logical workflow. The V.T.O. module provides you with a multitude of interaction tools that allow you to individualize the planning in order to treat cases ranging from the simplest to the most complex.

At any stage of planning, you can simulate the gingiva resulting from tooth movements.
The necessary transformations for each tooth movement are recorded so that the feasibility of the planning can be evaluated and recorded using selected thresholds and analyses that are updated in real time.

As with all other 2D and 3D planning modules, the intermediate steps as well as the final results of a set-up planning can be saved as a project, sent online for validation and approval or saved as a separate result in the database for later use in other modules. An animation can be created for the results exported from the module, so that they can be examined separately in full screen mode.

Treatment planning virtual alignment

The 3D Aligner module can be used to plan aligner treatments. It is started with an initial search or a segmented goal and allows the subdivision of the planned tooth movements into a series of individual steps. The tooth movements can be controlled individually or in monitored groups and adjusted with the help of limits. If cleats are to be added, they can be selected, positioned and, if desired, replaced or deleted using the internal cleat library. Also, OnyxCeph³™ gives you the ability to create your own cleats, and use them as you wish.

Align 3D module

The 3D Aligner module allows you to update your treatment plan at any time with a scan and to monitor the treatment progress with respect to the initial goal. This unique treatment plan update option allows you to load an intermediate scan of the actual treatment progress into the initial plan in order to check the tooth movement achieved and to update the virtual plan while maintaining the initial treatment goal. For this purpose, the scan is loaded into the plan and different methods of registration in the existing model are offered so that the remaining steps can be corrected according to the actual tooth movement.

Positioning of brackets on the malocclusion ( Included in the LAB version )

In the FA_Bonding module, brackets can be assigned to the crowns individually or in preconfigurable groups from the local or online updatable onyx bracket library.

The placement in relation to the crown is performed according to the selected rule of thumb using the crown coordinates assigned in the module and the corresponding bracket parameters. In addition, you can save your own rules of thumb for the incisal connection heights. The pre-installed rules are:

OnyxCeph.™

MBT

Muchitsch

Creekmore

Andrews

Alexander

LineUp option allows you to preview and modify the bracket-crown relationship aligned in a location on a preselected virtual wire

Bracket positioning according to the OnyxCeph³™ rule. Pre-installed and
manual correction via In-View Navigator

Positioning of the bracket according to the treatment objective

In the Wire_Bonding module, you can choose the path of the wire in relation to the relevant dental arch. For this purpose, the two wires are automatically pre-positioned using the FA points of both arches. You can correct this positioning at the beginning or at any other time, after which all data dependent on this planning is updated immediately.

Wire_Bonding module

At any stage of planning, the movement of each tooth considered in the set-up can be applied in reverse to the crowns and brackets to visualize the position of the straight wire planned on the brackets in the initial treatment phase.

Transfer of planned bracket positions

Once you have virtually positioned the virtual brackets on the malocclusion model using the FA_Bonding or V.T.O.3D / Wire_Bonding planning modules, you need to transfer this virtual placement to the patient as easily, quickly and accurately as possible. To do this, OnyxCeph. ™ allows you to use several indirect bonding techniques with separate modules:

Kylix Module

Bonding Trays Module

Methods of transferring planned bracket positions

Kylix Module

With the Kylix 3D Module, the position of the bracket on the printed dental arch can be predefined by means of flexible markers around and below the base of the bracket for the fabrication of the transfer trays using thermoforming technology.

Defining bracket position and alignment using basic markers

Bonding Trays Module

In the Bonding Trays module, different types of bracket transfer trays can be designed on virtual arches with brackets using various parameters and then manufactured by milling or 3D printing.

Elimination of brackets virtually

For final dental corrections with aligning trays at the end of a multi-attachment treatment, you can virtually remove the contained brackets from a digital impression. You can do this with the Bracket Erase module by replacing the marked bracket area automatically or manually with the segmented crown geometry from the initial scan.
Based on this result you can plan a finishing treatment with the 3D Align module

Virtual planning of the restraint

Module Retainer 3D provides intuitive design tools for the creation of retainers, which can be exported in a data format suitable for different manufacturing approaches.

Surgical treatment planning

You can prepare a combined orthodontic - oral-maxillofacial treatment with the 3D Treatment Simulation module. After recording the individual data, the treatment segments can be defined and repositioned. For this purpose, a variety of planning tools are offered to you. OnyxCeph³™ allows you to simulate the change in visual appearance between the initial and final situation
Intermediate situations and planning can be exported as occlusal relationships for splint construction.

Surgical splint design: Waefer Creation 3D module

The Waefer Creation 3D module allows you to create splint models for the fixation of upper and lower jaw segments during maxillofacial surgery. It allows you to create specific constructions using intuitive design tools with desired features (holes, labels, registration marks).
