Orthodontic instruments and software for dental practices

Drop in the upper and lower STL files from your scanner. Model Prep levels each scan on the bite, trims it along the gum line and builds a smooth base, ready for your 3D printer. You can move the trim line yourself and check it in a cross-section before you download.

Choose an open, hollow horseshoe base to save resin, or a closed base; set the base height and the wall thickness. The patient’s name is engraved into the side of the base, so models never get mixed up, and Model Prep estimates the resin each model uses and what it costs.

Preview as often as you like: you pay only when you download a model, per model with credits or unlimited with a monthly subscription. For approved dental practices.

Name the job, pick your printer and whether the models print flat or upright, and drop in models made by Model Prep. Model Print packs them onto the build plate with a gap between them, and shows the plate from above and in 3D, so you can move or turn a model by hand.

It works out the resin cost of the plate and of every model, and downloads the plate as one STL file for your printer’s software. Models that don’t fit wait on a waiting list in your browser for the next plate. Printers from Asiga, Formlabs, SprintRay, Phrozen, Elegoo, Anycubic, HeyGears and Ackuretta are built in.

Packing, the preview and the cost are free; downloading a plate is one credit, the same models again within 24 hours are free, or it is included in a subscription.

Type the patient’s name, drop in the upper and lower scans, and download the occlusal view: both arches side by side on a 10 mm grid with a ruler, with the name on the picture. It is free.

For your records, the orthodontic picture set adds the five standard views of trimmed, based study models — right, frontal and left in occlusion, and the upper and lower occlusal views — each as its own picture, in a folder with the patient’s name. One credit per case, or included in a subscription.

Add one patient’s photos straight from the camera: the four face photos, the four bite photos, the two occlusal photos and the patient form. Photo Prep puts each photo in its place, turns and mirrors it the right way round, levels it and crops it, and you can adjust any picture by hand.

Type the patient’s name and download the ten pictures in one zip, named after the patient, ready for your records program. Everything happens in your browser: the photos are never uploaded to us.
