Questions about ClearPilot™ tools
Why are some of the new features missing on some of my cases?
New features will only be available for cases submitted after the feature has been included in a ClearPilot launch.
Why can't I see the tooth movement chart or the treatment overview illustration?
Some features will be available only for cases submitted after the initial launch of ClearPilot. (October 2020)
What languages are available for the in-app translations feature?
Available languages are: Spanish, German, French, and Italian
Will more languages be added to the in-app translations feature?
Additional languages will be gradually added over time after the initial launch of this feature (May 2022).
Can I change the criteria of the colors on the occlusal heat map?
No. This is not a possibility at this time. The values are set as follows:
- Green – contacts between -0.1 and 0.1 mm
- Yellow – 0.1 – 0.2 mm
- Red - >0.2 mm
Can I change the arch I want to view in the left panel of the Multiview feature?
No. The Multiview feature is set to show only the upper & lower arches in the left panel. You can change the model in the main window to any of the 5 available views.
When I use the Superimpose tool, why do some of the teeth have both purple and white color on them?
The Superimpose tool compares the starting position (S) of the teeth, to any selected step, through to the retainer step (R). On the 3D image the starting position of the teeth is represented by purple shading. The selected step or (R) step is represented by the white tooth color.
When the Superimposition tool is active, what information is it using to compare with when on the DR step?
If you use the Superimpose tool on the DR Step, it will compare the starting position of the teeth to the final position with any changes that were made with the DR EDITS tool, of the current setup version. On the 3D image the purple color represents the starting position of the teeth, the teal color represents the teeth that were moved using the DR EDITS tool, and the white color represents the final position of the teeth.
When the Superimposition tool is active, what information is it using to compare with when on the PV step?
The PV Step in the timeline represents the DR Step (the step in the timeline that shows the edits made using the DR EDITS tool) from the previous setup version.
If you use the Superimpose tool on the PV Step, it will compare the current version of the treatment setup to the previous setup version’s DR Step. On the 3D image the purple color represents the R Step (final proposed position) of the current setup version, the teal color represents teeth that were moved using the DR EDITS tool, in the previous setup version, and the White color represents the final position of the teeth in the previous setup version.
I changed my color settings and the person that used the computer after me sees my color settings and wants to use other colors; why does this happen and what can I do the fix this?
The color settings remain the same because of the browser configuration. To restore settings, go back to default coloring by using either of the undo functions.
How is the provided setup rating and feedback information used?
The setup rating is used to evaluate the quality of the Treatment Setup. The feedback helps identify areas of opportunity in protocol development, technician training, and recognition amongst other uses.
How do I zoom in and zoom out on the model?
On a desktop/laptop PC, use the scroll wheel on your mouse or by using the Shift key and the plus (+) and minus (–) keys simultaneously on your keyboard to adjust the size of the image.
On a desktop/laptop Mac, use the scroll wheel on your mouse or by using the Command and Control keys and the plus (+) and minus (–) keys simultaneously on your keyboard to adjust the size of the image.
On tablets and mobile devices use your fingers to pinch and zoom.
Where did the view, measure, and engager buttons go?
The View and Measure buttons were removed to create a more user friendly experience, and the Engager icon was renamed "Features." The new Features icon allows you to toggle on and off the representation of engagers, cutouts, and bite ramps in the 3D treatment animation.
Where did the IPR triangles go?
The representation of IPR changed from triangles to lines with an IPR value listed.
Can I see collisions while moving teeth?
No, this feature is currently not available, but will be included in a future release.
Can I see the points of contact between the bite ramps and the opposing arch?
No, this feature is currently not available.
What does the PV step in the timeline represent?
The PV step represents the edits you requested on the previous version of the Treatment Setup. If you did not request revisions to your Treatment Setup, then your timeline will not show a PV step.
How can I identify my overcorrection steps?
The overcorrection steps appear in teal on the timeline.
Why did the overcorrection steps disappear from the timeline?
When you use the DR EDITS features, the overcorrection steps will no longer appear on your treatment timeline. If overcorrection has been requested, it will appear on the revised treatment plan.
Questions about 3D Controls: Individual Tooth Movement, Engagers, Cutouts, and Bite Ramps
Will 3D Controls features be available for the cases I've already submitted?
Only cases submitted after the release January 10, 2022 (February 14, 2022 for Japan) will have the 3D Controls: Individual Tooth Movement feature. Cases submitted after this date will have 3D Controls: Engagers, Cutouts, and Bite Ramps. For more information on your country’s availability, contact your local ClearCorrect or Straumann representatives.
Do I have to use 3D Controls for Engagers, Cutouts, and Bite Ramp features to make changes to my Treatment Setup?
No, you can request these changes through the comments panel in ClearPilot.
Can I edit the engagers, cutouts, and bite ramps proposed by the technician?
You can make changes to what was proposed by the technician and/or add engagers, cutouts, and bite ramps where you want to customize your patient’s Treatment Setup.

All changes made using the DR EDITS tool are shown in the DR step on the timeline, which is shown as the last step before overcorrection.
How do I change the orientation of the bevel on an engager?
You can request changes to the orientation of the bevel through the Comments Panel. Be sure to include the direction of the bevel in your request.
How do I access the DR EDITS tool to either add or modify teeth, engagers, cutouts, and bite ramps for my ongoing cases?
To make changes to ongoing cases you will need to request a Revision (additional charges may apply). When you receive the revised Treatment Setup, the DR EDITS tool will be available in ClearPilot where you can make the additions/modifications that you desire.

Questions about the case or Treatment Setup
I have the option to comment and/or approve in the Doctor Portal & in ClearPilot, where should I perform these actions?
We recommend writing comments and approving Treatment Setups in ClearPilot. If you decide to approve or make comments in the Doctor Portal, those comments will not be available to view in ClearPilot.
