Existing ClearPilot^TM Features

ClearPilot^TM is ClearCorrect's tool for preparing your patient's plan for treatment with clear aligners. Using your treatment simulation (the 3D sequential animation of the movement of teeth through aligner treatment) provided by ClearCorrect's experienced technicians, the patient records (clinical photos, impressions/scans, and x-rays) and the tools in ClearPilot^TM, you can create the treatment goals you and your patients desire. 

Current features available in ClearPilot^TM are:

Treatment Information	Evaluation Tools
In app access to treatment documentation	3D viewing tools
Patient prescription access	Individual tooth movement (NEW 3D Controls Tool)
Treatment overview panel	Occlusal heat map
Treatment overview illustration	Multi-view
Comment panel	Tooth movement chart
	Millimeter grid
	Superimposition

Introducing ClearPilot^TM 3D Controls: Individual Tooth Movement 

3D Controls: Individual Tooth Movement is a tool in ClearPilot^TM that allows clinicians to move an individual tooth to a desired position. The image below shows the tool and its features. 

 

The tool allows clinicians to move a selected tooth with six different movements:

• Extrusion
• Intrusion
• Translation buccally or lingually
• Translation mesially or distally
• Tipping
• Torquing
• Rotation

Clinicians are able to use the tool when reviewing the patient's treatment setup.

Accessing ClearPilot^TM 3D Controls: Individual Tooth Movement

To access ClearPilot^TM 3D Controls: Individual Tooth Movement you will use the same process as accessing ClearPilot^TM. The table below provides the ClearPilot^TM system requirements, website link, and initial steps to login.

	System requirements Computer  Internet access Any internet browser: Chrome, Safari, Mozilla, Edge
	Website Access ClearPilot through the ClearCorrect Doctor Portal located at: dr.clearcorrect.com

You will then be prompted with the text "PLEASE SELECT A TOOTH TO EDIT."  To select a tooth, double click on the tooth you want to move to a different position.

After you have selected a tooth to edit, the 3D Controls: Individual Tooth Movement toolbar will appear in the main display window and the selected tooth will appear in strong teal. If you want to change the color for a selected tooth, you can use the color settings tool found in the header.

Moving Teeth Using 3D Controls: Individual Tooth Movement Tool Bar

There are two ways you can move teeth using the 3D Controls: Individual Tooth Movement tool bar. The first way is to click on the left and right arrows on either side of the movement button.

The second way is to type the desired amount of movement into the space at the top right of the movement button.

There are six movements buttons on the 3D Controls: Individual Tooth Movement tool bar. The table below describes the function of each button.

	This button moves the selected tooth with an extrusion or intrusion movement.
	This button moves the selected tooth with a buccal (B) or lingual (L) translation movement.
	This button moves the selected tooth with a mesial (M) or distal (D) translation movement.
	This button moves the selected tooth with a distal (D) or mesial (M) tipping movement.
	This button moves the selected tooth with a lingual (L) or buccal (B) torquing movement.
	This button moves the selected tooth with a mesial (M) or distal (D) rotation movement.

When you use 3D Controls: Individual Tooth Movement to adjust the position of a tooth, the changes in movement will appear in the movement chart in yellow. The changes in movement are listed with two numbers:

1. The first number is the total amount of movement
2. The second number is the difference in movement from the original treatment setup proposed by the technician.

All the movement changes you make using 3D Controls: Individual Tooth Movement appear in the timeline under the DR step.

If you move more than one tooth, the previously moved teeth will appear in light teal while the current tooth that is being moved will appear in strong teal. 

If you want to change the color of teeth moved using 3D Controls: Individual Tooth Movement, click on the color settings button in the header and select a new color. If you want to change the color back to the default teal color, click the undo button to the right of the color box or click on the "Restore Defaults" button.

Using the Undo Function on the 3D Controls: Individual Tooth Movement Tool Bar

If you are unhappy with the movement changes you've made using 3D Controls: Individual Tooth Movement there are several ways you can undo the tooth movement changes. The first way is to use the undo buttons on the right side of the tool bar. The top button allows you to reset teeth to the technician's initially proposed final position. The bottom button will undo all movement and reset the tooth to the initial starting position, this also removes all proposed movement for the tooth by the technician.

The second way to undo tooth movement edits is to click the undo button next to the DR EDITS button. This button will undo all edits to the tooth. When clicked on, a popup message will appear asking you to confirm removal of all edits or cancel the action.

Tips for Using 3D Controls: Individual Tooth Movement Tool

Tip 1: When using the occlusal heat map tool, click on the gums tool to remove the gums from the arches. This will make it easier to see the points of occlusal contact and if you need to move any teeth using 3D Controls: Individual Tooth Movement tool.

 

Tip 2: Include in the comments panel information about significant changes to the setup, this helps the technicians better understand the purpose and expectations of the requested edits.

 

Tip 3: Use the tooth movement parameters as a guide for planning predictable movement.  Be aware of the following: 

• Most cases will require some kind of adjustment to the overall arch form. These arch movements usually fall into four main categories:
  • Distalization
  • Mesialization
  • Lingualization
  • Expansion
• The overall movement of an arch is determined by the types of movements made by the individual teeth in that arch
• The overall amount of arch movement expected in each quadrant can give you a rough indication of how difficult a case may be
• Every patient is different, so as always, results may vary

 

Tip 4: You can use the hot keys on your keyboard to move through the treatment setup timeline to evaluate tooth movements at each step:

• ArrowLeft – Previous step
• ArrowUp – First step
• ArrowRight – Next step
• ArrowDown – Last step
• Space – Play/Pause timeline

 

Tip 5: Overcorrection steps appear in the timeline in teal. When you use the 3D Controls Individual Tooth Movement feature, it will remove any overcorrection steps from the timeline.

 

Timeline with Overcorrection Steps

 

Timeline where 3D Controls Individual Tooth Movement Was Used

If the clinician initially requested overcorrection, the next setup that the clinician receives will show the overcorrection along with the edits that were requested using the Dr Edits feature.
