• Check whether all scan images are acquired for necessary areas. If not, perform additional scan.

9. Scan the occlusal model fixed by a screw jig.

10. The maxillary base model and the prepped teeth have been aligned. If the alignment is satisfactory, move to the next step.

• 1 point or 3 points can be used for alignment.

11. Align the maxilla and the occlusion by manual.

• 1 point or 3 points can be used for alignment.
• Mark alignment points onto the maxilla and the occlusion respectively.

12. Align the mandible and the occlusion by manual.

• 1 point or 3 points can be used for alignment.
• Mark alignment points onto the maxilla and the occlusion respectively.
