Shoot a full face picture of the patient with half smile (and if in this half smile he/she doesn’t show any teeth (patients with very short teeth), then a stretched smile that will enable to show the incisal edges of the upper incisors).
Preferably make a mock up only on the 1 or 2 upper centrals (in order to identify the incisal edge position vertically and the position of the facial surface bucco lingually). If you don’t want to make any mock up, then you can as well write down the additional length that you would want to be added on the centrals vertically and the volume on the facial side (i.e. 0.3 mms thicker facially).
Digital scanning of the upper jaw (preferably with the mock up on the 2 centrals)
Converting this digital impression in to an STL file (most of the intra oral scanners already convert the 3D scanning in to an STL file automatically).
Open the REBEL software http://rebel.dental and register (check your "spam" folder for email conformation also).

The credits available to a user at any given time are displayed above the voucher code field (Remaining credits for 3D mock-up: 0). When you buy additional credits, that number is automatically updated to account for your new purchase.
After you are logged in, follow the provided three simple steps to create a digital design.
In step I. DESIGN:
In step II. SCAN:
In step III. DIGITAL Mock up:
1) position the eyes open and parallel to the horizon
2) if the patient has long hair, please keep it away from the face (forehead and ears needed to be visible)
3) keep the head upright (NOT tilted to the right, left, up or down)
4) keep the lips apart with a soft smile (if possible show the incisal edges of the maxillary incisors)
The software automatically checks the required full pace picture and if it is not according to the rules you will receive an immediate message to replace it.
When you proceed to “SCAN” in “DESCRIPTION" four "Additional helpful pictures" are required. They must meet the following requirements:
1) position the eyes parallel to the horizon
2) keep the head upright (NOT tilted to the right, left or up and down)
3) keep the lips apart
1) position the eyes parallel to the horizon
2) keep the head upright (NOT tilted to the right, left or up and down)
3) keep the teeth closed and the occlusal plane parallel to the horizon
1) position the eyes parallel to the horizon
2) keep the head upright (NOT tilted to the right, left or up and down)
3) keep the teeth OPEN (you can let the patient bite on a cotton roll between the upper and lower molars)
4) keep the occlusal plane parallel to the horizon
1) lay down the patient in to a supine position on the dental chair
2) move to 12 o’clock position
3) ask for the full smile (display the arch position)
4) take a photo from 45 degrees
If you do not have intraoral scanner in your dental practice, please do the following:
Take an impression of the upper jaw (preferably with the direct mock up done on the centrals)
Send the impression to the nearest dental lab which has lab scanner ( each lab which has CAD/CAM machine has digital scanner)
A dental technician will digitalise your impression for you and you can upload provided "stl” file into REBEL and complete your order.
