DSD Upper

The DSD Upper is a digital wax up of the upper arch, designed considering a facially-driven, clinical and functional analysis of the patient.

The DSD Upper is the DSD main product option for simpler, straightforward cases when you need to diagnose, plan, explain treatment and motivate patients.

It is ideal when you have a patient that does not require significant rehabilitation, or changes to the teeth position, or vertical dimension loss, and where the lower arch is in good condition.

4 digital files, which are:

• DSD Upper presentation: a powerpoint presentation, containing all the essential images of the DSD Upper, enabling you to understand what is needed to achieve a facially-driven, functional and harmonious smile for your patient.

• STL file of the Upper Pre Treatment: the model of the actual situation of the patient overlapped with the DSD Upper, in which the original model is digitally untouched.

• STL file of the Upper Post Treatment: the model of the actual situation of the patient overlapped with the DSD Upper, in which the original model is digitally trimmed, so the simulation of the final outcome can be appreciated.

• STL file of the Motivational Mockup: the DSD Upper adapted over the model of the actual situation of the patient, so the design can be additive. This is the STL file you will use for the smile test drive, to help motivate and engage the patient. The STL of the Motivational Mockup is for the upper arch only.

Please note that the delivery of reports and files depends on the Planning Center's capacity, availability, and the specific product ordered.
Delivery Times reference for the DSD Upper:

You can verify the current turnaround time by reaching out to the Planning Center team for further assistance.

For the correct execution of the design, we require the following information from your team:

Mandatory

1. DSD Photo Protocol, including 5 photos and video
2. STL file of the upper arch and STL file of the lower arch in occlusion

Optional (but beneficial)

1. Panoramic X-Ray, or periapical X-rays
2. Bimaxillary CBCT in multi-slice DICOM format

This is one of the products that we call a “Pre-Case Acceptance Product” (Design, Plan and Motivate), which means it is one of the initial products that is mandatory for you to be able to request any subsequent product, which are the “Post-Case Acceptance Products” (Perform, Restore, Manufacture).
