Job Details

Key Responsibilities: - Perform digital data intake and model preparation using internal software to ensure all 3D patient records are "design-ready" for the treatment planning phase. - Validate and audit patient records, including verifying correct tooth numbering and ensuring 3D dental arches align accurately with provided X-rays and intraoral photos. - Execute digital "touch-ups" and model cleaning, such as removing scan artifacts (e.g., saliva bubbles, soft tissue interference, or distorted mesh) to ensure the 3D models are structurally sound for clinical planning. - Manage technical staging and segmentation, ensuring individual tooth boundaries are correctly defined so that the ATD team can seamlessly initiate tooth movements. - Collaborate with the QC and ATD teams to flag any incomplete prescriptions or poor-quality scans early in the process, reducing overall turnaround time and ensuring high-quality baseline data. Requirements: - Minimum Diploma, Advanced Diploma, or Degree in a dental-related or Engineering field (CAD / 3D focus). - Background in orthodontics or digital dental design is an advantage. - Experience with intraoral scans, 3D dental models, or orthodontic workflows is an advantage. - Proficiency in English.
