How to submit a modification request

How to submit a modification request

Modifications are made in ARCAD or SmileStudio using the 3D controls. Install the latest update first, because an outdated install is what causes cases to come back as duplicate versions.

Important: Install the current ARCAD update before you submit a modification. Outdated software is the reason cases come back as two separate versions.

Submitting

  1. Open the patient's case in SmileStudio and select Modification from the case menu.
  2. Make your changes with the 3D controls: tooth positions, rotations, IPR and attachments.
  3. Write out each change alongside the controls. Be specific, for example intrude 21 to match the 11 gingival margin.
  4. Submit. The planning team processes modifications overnight.

If the plan comes back unchanged

Tell us which specific movements were not applied rather than resubmitting the same request. If several rounds have not resolved it, we will put the case in front of the clinical team for review.

What to have ready

Start a support request in the OneSmile Concierge chat and include:

  • Practice name
  • Patient name
  • Case number
  • The changes you asked for
  • The version that came back
  • What is still wrong
  • The patient's appointment date
