Software-Requirements for Digital Retainer Planning
Configuration
The following software components are required to use OnyxCeph³™ for digital retainer planning and fabrication.
| Required: | Program Version | Optional Modules | Updates/Upgrades |
|---|---|---|---|
| Komponente: | OnyxCeph³™ LAB | Retainer 3D | Software maintenance |
| Price: | EUR 4.800 ¹ | EUR 600 ¹ | EUR 99 p.a. ² |
| Payment: | < one-off > | < annually > | |
¹ Prices plus VAT (if applicable); prices may differ when purchased through distributors
² Annual maintenance fee [mandatory] plus VAT. (if applicable)
Various technologies are used for the production of designs planned in the Retainer 3D module, including
- Laser cutting from NiTi plates
- Water jet cutting from NiTi plates
- Milling from solid material
- Bending with wire bending machines
- Manual bending on 1:1 print template
For this purpose, the retainer design can be exported either as a 3D dataset, as a cut path, as a polygon or as a print template.
Option 5 (manual bending according to paper template) can also be used program version OnyxCeph³™ 3D PRO.
Hint
The Retainer module provides software tools for planning virtual retainers based on image or scan data. In doing so, the user must ensure the suitability of the initial data and the manipulations and calculations performed on it for the intended use in the context of planned treatment measures. According to the intended purpose, clinical decisions cannot be motivated exclusively or even mainly on evaluation results provided by the software. The classification as a medical device cannot be transferred to treatment measures or the manufacture of orthodontic appliances, even if these take into account the calculation results of the software.
