New Animation - Malocclusion Classifications

Building on last month's articulator animations we have created an animation that shows how tooth modifications may appear to be fine when using a simple hinge articulator but will produce interferences in the patient's mouth (and on the full articulator).

For a long time we've thought it would be good to show why a full function articulator is a necessary piece of equipment and this month, with help from Panadent, we have two animations that will help you further distinguish yourself from other dentists.

This article gives details of the updates provided to BiteFX on Windows in March 2014.

Animation - Sleep Apnea with Chipping

When we first released our sleep apnea animation, Dr. Fred Peck observed that a side effect of sleep apnea for some patients is that their upper incisors are chipped but that it’s difficult to explain why this is happening - particularly if the patient doesn’t yet acknowledge that they could be suffering from sleep apnea.

I've been taking a lot of input and advice on marketing from the Glazer Kennedy Insider's Circle over the last year or so. It's certainly made a difference to BiteFX and challenged us to do things that we might otherwise have thought too extreme to try.

Animation - Sleep Apnea with Sound

When we produced the Sleep Apnea animation a few months ago we were challenged to add sound - so that's what we've done for this month's update.
