Capabilities

Clinical-Grade 3D Tools

Purpose-built for dental sleep medicine — every tool designed around the workflows that matter to your practice.

Visualization

Multi-Viewport Display

View oral appliance STL files from multiple angles simultaneously — front, side, top, and free-rotate — for complete spatial understanding of the device geometry.

Measurement

Precision Measurement Tools

Take real-time linear, angular, and cross-sectional measurements directly on the 3D model. Verify device dimensions, titration distances, and clearance tolerances with clinical accuracy.

Interaction

Rotate, Zoom & Pan

Full 3D interaction with smooth rotation, pinch-to-zoom, and pan controls. Inspect every surface, undercut, and contact point of the oral appliance design.

Comparison

Side-by-Side Comparison

Compare pre-treatment and post-titration STL models side by side. Visualize changes in mandibular advancement and appliance fit across treatment stages.

Analysis

Cross-Section Analysis

Slice through the 3D model at any plane to examine internal geometry, wall thickness, and airway dimensions critical for treatment efficacy.

Workflow

STL Import & Export

Import STL files from any CAD/CAM system or intraoral scanner. Export annotated models with measurements for lab communication and treatment documentation.

Use Cases

Built for Every Stage of Care

Treatment Planning

Visualize the oral appliance design before fabrication. Verify dimensions, check occlusal contacts, and confirm mandibular advancement positions.

Lab Communication

Share annotated 3D models with dental labs. Precise measurement overlays eliminate ambiguity and reduce remake rates.

Patient Education

Show patients their actual appliance in 3D during consultations. Interactive visualization improves understanding and treatment acceptance.

Progress Tracking

Compare STL models across treatment milestones. Quantify mandibular advancement changes and validate titration accuracy over time.

FAQ

Common Questions

The viewer supports standard STL (both ASCII and binary), OBJ, and PLY formats. Files from all major intraoral scanners (iTero, 3Shape TRIOS, Medit, Carestream) and CAD/CAM systems are fully compatible.

Yes. The built-in measurement tools let you take linear distances, angles, and cross-sectional measurements directly on the 3D surface. All measurements are precise to 0.01mm and can be saved as annotations on the model.

The STL Viewer is fully integrated into the Appnea platform. You can access it directly from any patient's treatment record — no separate downloads, plugins, or third-party software required.

Absolutely. You can export annotated models with measurements, notes, and cross-section views as shareable files or direct links. This streamlines lab communication and reduces the back-and-forth on appliance specifications.

Yes. The viewer is fully responsive and supports touch gestures — pinch to zoom, swipe to rotate, and two-finger pan. It works on tablets and smartphones for on-the-go review during consultations.
