Head Tracker digital facebow

With the Head Tracker, Zirkonzahn introduces an innovative solution for patient analysis that enables precise, patient-specific determination of maxilla positions, considering all relevant information. Unlike the previous analogue method using the PlaneFinder®, where data had to be digitised afterwards, the entire process can now be performed fully digitally, starting from intraoral scans.

Indeed, the Head Tracker records the natural head position (NHP) and the reference planes digitally, contact-free and without exogenous influences: by means of two modern sensors and the Zirkonzahn.App, it is now possible to capture important data such as maxilla position, ala-tragus planes, and 2D images of the patient's physiognomy,  which then serve as an important working basis for the dental technician – all on a smart phone. 

The acquired data is then imported in the Zirkonzahn.Modifier software and automatically aligned in the virtual articulator, ensuring the positioning of the upper and lower jaw according to the NHP.

Although the system is conceived for stand-alone use, it is recommended to use the Head Tracker in combination with the physical PlaneFinder®.
