Shining 3D is proud to unveil MetiSmile V2.2.5.4 – a major software update that marks a significant leap in facial and jaw motion diagnostics. This latest release introduces the Jaw Motion Modules for MetiSmile and MetiSmile MR, positioning them as the world’s first integrated systems capable of capturing both facial features and real-time mandibular movements in a single workflow.
With this advancement, clinicians can now access a deeper level of insight into occlusion, jaw function, and treatment outcomes, especially in complex prosthodontic and TMD (temporomandibular disorder) cases.
Bringing Motion into Focus: Dynamic Jaw Analysis
The new Jaw Motion Modules offer a robust set of tools for tracking and analyzing mandibular movement, helping clinicians improve both accuracy and efficiency in diagnostics and treatment planning.
Key Clinical Benefits:
・Mandibular Movement Tracking
Precisely capture jaw motion to identify and eliminate premature occlusal contacts, evaluate occlusal symmetry and joint function, and support long-term restoration stability.
・Support for TMD Evaluation
Integrated analytics enable clinicians to assess jaw coordination and joint performance, aiding in the diagnosis and management of temporomandibular disorders.
An Intuitive Workflow Designed for Clinicians
The update delivers a highly customizable and user-friendly experience, with tools that adapt to the needs of individual cases:
・Customizable Trajectory Templates
Create personalized tracking templates that suit different treatment scenarios.
・Flexible Trajectory Editing & Measurement
Easily clip movement paths, measure distances and angles, and refine analysis for each patient.
・Sectional View and Heat Map Visualization
Gain real-time 2D insights into occlusal contact using heat maps and cross-sectional analysis.
Enhanced Integration with CAD/CAM Systems
The latest version of MetiSmile simplifies collaboration between scanning, design, and treatment phases with robust export and compatibility features:
・Virtual Articulator Transfer
Automatically calculate and transfer articulator parameters to exocad for smoother prosthetic workflows.
・One-Click Export of Motion Data
Export jaw motion recordings in both .jawmotion and .xml formats for seamless use in downstream applications.
・Fast DICOM Segmentation and Plane Export
Convert segmented DICOM to STL with just a few clicks, and export key anatomical planes efficiently.
A one-click report generation tool allows clinicians to document findings quickly and share insights with patients or team members, making communication clearer and case management more efficient.
Determining Optimal Jaw Relationships – Made Easier
The update also enhances bite confirmation and occlusal planning across a variety of clinical situations, from natural dentition to fully edentulous cases.
Innovations Include:
・Flexible Step Selection
Clinicians can skip the freeway space step when facial marker placement is difficult (e.g., in cases with facial hair).
・Green Resting Model for Edentulous Cases
Real-time visual guidance reduces distortion during scanning and helps ensure accurate recordings.
・CreSplint 2.0 Integration
Generate high-precision splints with a single click, accelerating chairside workflows and improving treatment delivery speed.
Note: Access to all 3 jaw motion functions is permission-controlled. Please contact your local reseller for activation.
A Smoother Overall Experience
Beyond the headline features, MetiSmile V2.2.5.4 introduces several usability improvements aimed at optimizing performance and simplifying the user experience:
・Streamlined Case Setup
Now supporting STL files directly during case creation, with simplified DICOM import via one-click path copying.
・Increased Frame Capacity
The system now supports up to 500 scan frames on devices with 16GB RAM and up to 800 frames on machines with 32GB or more, providing greater flexibility for complex cases.
・Improved Alignment Accuracy
Users can now select 3 to 12 characteristic point pairs, allowing for more precise and adaptable scan alignment.
Experience the Future of Digital Dentistry
MetiSmile V2.2.5.4 is more than just a software update – it’s a step forward in diagnostic precision, patient comfort, and clinical efficiency.
