Bite

The bite found from two scans, with the contacts on both jaws.

The scanner’s bite is off by tenths of a millimetre — 0.24, 0.32 and 0.57 mm into the other jaw on our three cases. A crown designed into that bite is ground down in the chair.

What you getOn screen and to take away
  • Occlusion map on both jaws, opened like a book: red touching → blue 0.3 mm apart; purple deeper than 0.15 mm.
  • One line: “Lower moved 0.14 mm, 0.60° from the scanner’s bite · contact 82 mm²”.
  • Found / Scanner’s / Both — the two bites side by side on one camera; opened or in bite.
  • Download: a zip with the lower already moved and the matrix.
  • Save an A4 sheet; Share a link with both scans and the found bite.
Measured, not promisedOn our cases
  • Against Bite-Finder, the paid service: case A 0.13 mm, case B 0.09 mm, case C 0.06 mm from their pose.
  • Two starts land 0.011 mm apart: one answer, not a lucky one.
  • Two scans fix a bite to about 0.1–0.2 mm: several poses that close are equally good.

  • Room to the antagonist over each stump and undercuts — waiting on where the stumps are.
  • Scans saved with no bite at all need a rough start first.
