Figure 3. Three-dimensional model mirroring on the midsagittal plane.

Figure 3

Mirroring can be a valuable technique in the planning treatment of asymmetries. As shown below, the virtual 3D surface of the mandible (A) has been colored yellow. (B) The left ramus was mirrored onto the right side using the CMF applications mirror function and the midsagittal plane was defined for the image. The right lateral ramus was then overlaid with the mirror of the left side. (C) Shows in detail the overlay of the mirror and actual model.
