📖 Modes > Getting Started

In “Getting Started”, prepare for the Smile Design process by ensuring the necessary guidelines are defined correctly.

The facial guidelines will be automatically applied to the image. However, you can modify the guidelines if any adjustments need to be made.

1. The points and the facial guidelines align with the image as shown on the image below.


2. The Smile Image is the top image (if not, use the **“Switch Images”** in the toolbox).
Move to “Consultation Mode” when the lip line and facial guidelines are defined correctly.

Use the following tools when there is something wrong with the image.

Icon	Tool	Description
	Manual Alignment	If the teeth in the lip line look blurry, as shown on the image below, align the two images manually by clicking “Manual Alignment”. ℹ️ Note This might happen if you took the images from different angles. Use the left mouse button to drag and align the two images or use the arrow keys on the keyboard. ℹ️ Note This function can be used only when two images are imported.
	Switch Images	Smile Design needs alignment of two images imported from Medit Link. If the top image at this stage is the retracted image, use the “Switch Images” tool to change their overlapping order. ℹ️ Note This function can only be used when two images are imported.
	Modify Lip Line	If needed, modify the lip line by clicking “Modify Lip Line”. 1. Left-click to add new points. 2. Right-click to delete points.
	Rotate	Rotate and crop the image in the range of -3 to +3 degrees. Press Enter to finish cropping.
