    • Save analysis results to text files
    • Copy images, tracings, and analysis results to the Windows clipboard
  • Treatment planning
    • Planned movement and rotation of teeth, maxilla, and mandible - with high precision, interactively or by entering numeric movement values
    • Immediate numeric presentation of planned movement
    • Immediate soft tissue prediction
    • Simulate effects from automatic rotation of the mandible

    • Several methods for alignment of included tracings:
      • Fixate tracings at a reference marker, rotation by a reference line
      • Best match using 2 or more reference markers
