Superimposition of the initial models and progress models based on the stable structure method (unmoved teeth in the ClinCheck) using the GEOMAGIC studio software. (a) Teeth designed not to be moved in ClinCheck were respectively separated from initial models and progress models (grey and purple coloured the second molars); (b) and (c) Registration of the unmoved teeth (second molars); (d) and (e) Final superimposition using the unmoved teeth (second molars) as reference.

Measurement of OTM. (a) Molar distalization was measured at points of each cusp tip of molars; (b) Points of incisor edges were used to measure anterior retraction; (c) Measurement of anterior intrusion; (d) Lines of incisor edges were used to measure angle of anterior rotation; (e) Measurement of posterior expansion. CIE: central incisal edge; DIE: distal incisal edge; DVC: distal vestibular cusp tip; MVC: mesial vestibular cusp tip; MIE: mesial incisal edge; PC: palatal cusp tip; VC: vestibular cusp tip.

Figure 4.

Shell-to-shell deviation of OTM by using a whole surface best fit algorithm and colour-mapping methods in the GEOMAGIC studio software. Green represents no deviation; red represents a large and positive deviation; blue represents a small and negative deviation. The bigger the deviation is the more OTM stray from the ClinCheck.
