Connecting Your 3Shape Scanner

If you are using a 3Shape scanner you can simplify the submission process by pairing LightForce to your scanner as a lab destination.

  • Go to 3Shape communicate, log in, click connections, add connection, and search for support@lightforceortho.com making sure the "search for labs" box is checked.

  • Request connection and email or call LightForce Customer support to confirm connection.

  • Once it is confirmed you can upload the case directly through your 3Shape scanner.

  • Remember, a treatment plan must still be created on the LightForce doctor portal to complete the case submission requirements. The internal team will link your scans to the completed treatment plan

**Go to OrthoAnalyzer Control Panel> System Settings > uncheck Decimate input models to (see image below)
