Bite registration

How to scan the bite

The bite scan tells us exactly how the arches meet — the workflow is the same on every intraoral scanner.

Intraoral bite scan showing the upper and lower arches captured together in occlusion, viewed from the buccal (cheek) side
A clean buccal bite scan — both arches captured together so the software locks them into the correct occlusion.
1

Scan the full upper arch, then the full lower arch.

2

Ask the patient to close into their normal bite (or the bite prescribed for the appliance) and hold it still.

3

Scan the buccal (cheek-side) surfaces with the teeth together — capture 3–4 teeth on both the left and right sides so the software can align the two arches.

4

Check on screen that the arches have snapped together correctly, then export and send as usual.

Retract the cheek and keep the buccal scan steady across both arches. If an appliance needs a specific bite — for example a protrusive construction bite for a snoreguard — capture it in that position and note it on the prescription.
