The module Bracket Erase can be used to remove brackets and bands in a model scan. By removing these parts from the scan, you can create finishing aligners, splints or retainers, before the brackets are actually removed from the patient.
Ideally, a segmented scan of the patient from before the bracket treatment is used to replace the removed bracket geometry with the exact surface of the actual teeth of the patient.

1. Segment both the current scan with brackets as well as the initial malocclusion scan
2. Open Bracket Erase module with the current scan
3. Load the malocclusion scan as a reference scan
4. Use automatic or manual bracket selection to define the geometry that should be replaced
5. Select the option "Replace whole tooth" to remove bands
6. Select the option "Show Refence" to see the fitting of the reference surface
