Prerequisites to perform Virtual Surgical Plan

DICOM Files: Medical grade CT scan

The CT scan can be taken with a bite block, but the block should be thin, ensuring minimal distance between the jaws.

STL Files: Maxillary and Mandibular arch with bite

No orthodontic changes to be made after taking the digital scan/ impression. Either STL files can be uploaded, or you can courier the impressions/ stone models to us.

Intra-oral and Extra-oral photographs

Pictures are required to undertake post-surgery profile outcome prediction. Extra-oral photographs should be taken with 1cm stickers on the temple & forehead.




How it works?

Virtual Surgical Planning is designed to be time saving and efficient. Each virtual plan follows a similar workflow - structured and repeatable for both surgeon and staff allowing for quick turnaround.

Submit a case



Submit case files and specify your detailed preferences for the treatment.

Anatomical Assessments



We perform around 50 different types of 2D and 3D analysis as a part of pre-operative workflow and discuss the observations with you.

Virtual Planning and online discussion


Our experts conceptualize the surgical plan and discuss it online with the Surgeon and Orthodontist, making necessary modifications to the plan in real time.

3D printing



Once the plan is finalized, we 3d print the surgical splints, guides, and models according to your requirements.

Actual Surgery



We provide a case report which outlines values and step-by-step of the pre surgical plan, serving as a reference before surgery and in the operating theatre.

Our core competencies

Expert Personnel: Our treatments are planned by expert Orthodontists and Surgeons who have over 2 decades of experience in planning and performing treatments.

Quick Turnaround: We deliver splints within 10 days of sharing treatment prerequisites. Also, in case of exigencies, we take cases up on priority basis.

Explicit communication: “The result of bad communication is a disconnection between strategy and execution.” We carefully discuss the plan and get approvals through video calls.

Cost Effective: Bundled services are supplied to patients at an affordable cost that considerably outweighs the advantages.

Multiple Treatment plans: We simulate distinct surgical procedures to obtain optimal results for the patient.


Benefits of Virtual Surgical Plan

VSP is a disruptive innovation that eliminates the shortcomings of conventional planning methods and seeks to benefit multiple stakeholders.

For Orthodontist

VSP eliminates the need of performing pre-surgical procedures via traditional articulator method and facebow transfers, which has a high probability of errors. Also, since all the records are digitally available - both 2D and 3D, the orthodontist can plan the surgeries far quicker compared to traditional methods.

For Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons 

Three-dimensional imaging enables the surgeon to establish necessary osteotomy planes preoperatively and assess different surgical scenarios. Further, the time taken to perform a surgery based on a virtual plan is significantly lesser than under a conventional plan with the aid of surgical splints and guides.

Patients

VSP allows the patients to see the post-surgical profile prediction superimposed on their face prior to the surgery which allows them to decide whether to go ahead with the surgery, which was not possible earlier. Further, VSP aids quicker surgeries, reducing the time spent in the OT.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What data is required to prepare the Virtual Surgical Plan (VSP)?

  • Are there any CT Scan protocols?
  • What are the analyses performed while making the VSP?
  • Can we just get a Pre-treatment COGS analysis?
  • Do you provide 3D printing of Intermediate & Final splints without the treatment planning as a standalone service?

  • Will just the CT/ CBCT work or is it compulsory to send a dental scan/dental cast/impression?

  • How is VSP different to the conventional articulator method?
  • Will you also be performing a facebow transfer and use articulators?

We would need the following to prepare a VSP –

Medical grade CT – Full skull to C7. If Medical Grade CT is not available, CBCT of the entire skull to C7 will do. Due to the grainy nature of CBCTs however, there is possibility of severe distortion in the profile outcome prediction. Hence, CTs are recommended.

Partial CBCT (only dental arches) will not work.

Maxillary and Mandibular arch with the bite in STL Format. If an intra oral scan is not available, stone models with minimum air bubbles are required. The upper and lower impression should be sent along with a wax bite (in present occlusion).

Note – No orthodontic changes to be made after taking the scan/impression

Intra-oral and Extra oral photographs of the patient – Intra-oral photographs: Occlusal Frontal View, Right Molar Retention, Left Molar Retention, Occlusal View of Upper, Occlusal View of Lower

Extra-oral photographs: Primarily for generating post-surgery profile outcome prediction. The photographs should be taken with 1cm stickers on the temple & forehead

Are there any CT Scan protocols?

The CT can be taken with a bite block, but the block should be thin, ensuring minimal distance between the jaws.

Slice thickness: CT scan < 0.6 mm and CBCT 0.35 mm to 0.50 mm

Format: DICOM file


We will provide you the following analyses –

  • Pre-treatment COGS/Burstone Analysis (2D)

  • 50 different types of 2D analysis

  • Arnett Analysis (3D)

  • Surgical movements (2D & 3D)

  • Post-surgery profile outcome prediction


Can we just get a Pre-treatment COGS analysis?

Yes, we can provide only the Cephalometric / Pre-treatment COGS analysis if necessary. The prerequisite for it is only a Lateral Cephalogram.


Do you provide 3D printing of Intermediate & Final splints without the treatment planning as a standalone service?

Yes. If you already have the treatment plan ready, you just send us the STL file of the intermediate & final splints.


Will just the CT/ CBCT work or is it compulsory to send a dental scan/dental cast/impression?

It is compulsory to send a dental scan /dental cast /impression due to the reduced quality of image of the dental surfaces obtained from tomography.

Note – No orthodontic changes to be made after taking the scan/impression


How is VSP different to the conventional articulator method?

VPS gives three-dimensional imaging which enables the surgeon to establish necessary osteotomy planes preoperatively and assess different surgical scenarios.

It also provides a prediction of the post-surgery profile outcome which aids in effective communication between the surgeon and the patient. In the conventional method we cannot show the outcome of the surgery before the actual surgery is performed.

VSP also allows for minimal invasive surgeries as it follows the osteotomy line nearly the same as in a real intraoperative osteotomy.


Will you also be performing a facebow transfer and use articulators?

No. The use of facebow transfer and expensive articulators are eliminated by VSP. The analysis and treatment plan for the surgery is prepared using a software. Once you finalize the treatment plan, the splints are 3D printed.
