Installing and Using OneBite Align for Scan Alignment and Export
Step By Step Guide
This is the step-by-step workflow on how to install OneBite Align and complete the alignment process from start to finish. It guides you through aligning your digital files to the OneBite Evolution recorded values and accurately transferring that alignment into the correct three-dimensional space within your preferred dental CAD software.

1. Install the OneBite Align software
• Open the downloaded ZIP folder.
• Locate and open the file labeled "Double-Click to install".
• In the installer, choose the installation location.
•Optionally create a desktop shortcut.
•Click Install to complete setup.
2. Review the interface and workflow panels
• Launch the program after installation.
•Identify the main interface areas:
•Bottom panel: interactive wizard that guides the workflow step-by-step.
•Top panel: shows progress and the active wizard step.
•Viewport: main area for viewing and manipulating scans.
•Use available tools as needed:
•Instruction guide
•Light/Dark mode toggle
•Save files and wizard progress option
3. Load and map the scan files
•Add files by either: •Dragging and dropping files into the window, or
•Clicking Load Mesh File and selecting files via file path.
•After loading, click Next.
•Map each file to the correct label:
•OneBite Evolution Bite Cube scan → bite
•Upper scan → upper
•Lower scan → lower
•If you have additional files such as design scans or prep scans, open Optional Scans and map them there.
•Click Next to continue.
4. Align the bite cube scan to the stationary cube
•Use the three-sphere alignment method.
•Control the viewport by clicking the side of the screen you want to interact with.
•Navigate the model using:
•Mouse wheel to zoom
•Left-click to move the file
•Right-click to move the view
•Place the first sphere by double-clicking.
•Match that sphere on the other cube.
•Continue alternating placement until all three matching spheres are placed.
•Check the alignment indicator:
• Green: alignment is acceptable; proceed.
• Orange or red: run Align Snap for a second pass, or use Undo Alignment to start over if needed.
5. Align the upper scan to the bite cube scan
•Repeat the same three-sphere placement process for the upper scan.
•Place matching spheres alternately between the upper scan and the byte cube scan.
•Review the alignment indicator after placement.
•If the indicator is not green, click Align Snap to improve the alignment.
•Once the indicator turns green, click Next.
6. Apply degree corrections
•Use the mouse wheel or the plus/minus buttons to adjust the degree correction.
•Match the angle of the blue degree arch to the angle of the arch in the scan.
•Confirm the correction is accurate before proceeding.
•Click Next when the angle is properly aligned.
7. Enter midline and baseline values and apply translations
• Enter the OneBite Evolution positioning values:
•Midline (Y): 63
•Baseline (Z): 70
•Click Apply Translations.
•Allow the program to reposition the files into the correct space.
•Click Next to continue.
8. Export the aligned files
•Choose one of the available export options based on the CAD software you will use.
•Select the software that matches your preferred 3D space.
•Export the files.
•Choose a save location when prompted.
•Save each file individually as the save window indicates which file is being written.
•Import the exported files into your preferred CAD software to continue your normal workflow.
9. Verify the aligned position in CAD software
•Open the exported files in your CAD software.
•Confirm the scans appear in the true maxillary orientation captured by the OneBite Evolution system.
•Verify that the alignment transferred correctly into the CAD environment.
•Continue with standard design or treatment workflows from the verified aligned position.
10. Align additional files such as design or prep scans
•Use this method when you need to align multiple files at the same time.
•Upload the additional files at the beginning of the workflow.
•Ensure the additional files are already positioned in the same 3D space as the models being aligned.
•Toggle the design file on and off to confirm it matches the scan position.
•Open Optional Scans and map the additional file to the correct label, such as assigning an upper wax-up
file to upper.
•Complete the remaining wizard steps as usual.
•Export the files so all aligned models retain the correct 3D position in your downstream workflow.
Cautionary Notes:
•Ensure each file is mapped to the correct scan label before proceeding.
•If the alignment indicator is orange or red, do not continue without correcting the alignment.
•Additional files such as wax-ups or prep scans must already match the same 3D position as the primary
scans before alignment.
•Save each exported file individually and confirm the correct destination folder.
•Verify alignment in CAD software before beginning final design work.
Tips for Efficiency:
•Use drag-and-drop for faster file loading when possible.
•Keep the instruction guide open if you are new to the workflow.
•Use the alignment indicator color as your quick quality check before moving to the next step.
•Save wizard progress if you need to pause and resume later.
•For multiple files, map optional scans at the start to avoid repeating work later.
