Instructions
to Add Brackets to Blue Sky Plan
Digital bracket files are protected in BlueSkyPlan
The BlueSkyPlan software protects your digital bracket files.
-
The software does not enable the export of the digital bracket files from the software.
-
The digital bracket files will only be used for the design of dental parts such as Indirect Bonding Tray.
-
The digital bracket files will not be shared or transferred to a user or to a third party dental company.
The 0,0,0 reference point should be:
-
at the bonding base (i.e. the intersection of the Mesial&Distal and Occlusal&Gingival curves)
-
aligned to the middle of the opening of the brackets, i.e. the Y axis goes through the middle of the opening
A similar convention for the coordinate system as we have for the virtual teeth is used:
-
+X axis points in the distal direction / -X axis points in the mesial direction
-
+Y axis buccal / -Y axis lingual
There are two separate sets of brackets for the lower and upper arch while orientation of the Z axis changes between the sets:
-
Upper arch brackets:
-
-Z axis points to the occlusal edge (see the figure below)
-
+Z axis gingival (apical)
-
-
Lower arch brackets:
-
+Z axis points to the occlusal edge (coronal or incisal direction)
-
-Z axis gingival (apical)
-
