You can adjust the default rotation during 3D edits for better control over crown and root adjustments and hinge rotations.
After selecting a tooth, black dots will appear on each side, allowing you to change the rotation from the tooth's center to the tip of the crown or mesial/distal sides for more targeted movements.
Using the Movement Chart for Tooth Movement
When utilizing the Individual Tooth Movement tool, the proposed movement suggested by the technician will be displayed in gray on the Movement Chart.
The most current change that has been made will appear in teal.
You can also select the cell in the Movement Chart to type in a numerical value for movement.
