Here’s how to order your Evident Nightguards with our fabrication by Derby:

Step One: Gather Your Patient Information

1.1: Capture Your Patient's Intraoral Scans

Intraoral scans create a digital mold of your patient’s mouth. Three scans are required to ensure comprehensive and accurate data for treatment planning:

  • Full Upper Arch: A complete scan of the upper teeth and gums.​
  • Full Lower Arch: A complete scan of the lower teeth and gums.
  • Bite: Make sure to scan the full arch for the most accurate bite registration.​
    • Note: Double check if the bite is misaligned.

1.2: Compile your patient’s treatment plan information

To ensure you have everything you need, collect the following information:

  • Patient Demographics:
    • Patient’s Name
    • Contact Information
    • Date of Birth
  • Chief Complaint:
    • The main reason the patient is seeking treatment
    • (e.g. concerns about bruxism, TMJ issues, soreness, headaches, clicking or popping sounds in the jaw, or disrupted sleep)
  • Summary of Diagnostic Findings:
    • Results from the Clinical Exam
    • Intraoral Photos
    • Radiographs
    • Any other pertinent diagnostic tests
  • Treatment Goals:
    • Patient’s Desired Outcomes
      • Discuss key aspects, including protecting tooth, reducing muscle tension and associated pain, alleviating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction symptoms, and improving sleep quality.

Once you have compiled all this information, you are ready to submit the case to Evident for the nightguard.

‍

If you have questions or need to share details, easily send messages to your designer in the Case Management section.

  • Once the designers are done, you can review your selected CAD files using the preview files (HTML viewer). Once you approve, your case will be sent to Derby Dental Lab for fabrication.

‍

If you have any questions about the process, feel free to contact Evident Support.

‍

Designs you order from EviSmart arrive in your Oqcam already formatted. Named the way your nesting rules expect, with shade and material attached, and pointed at the machine that case belongs on.

‍

The routing is decided per case. An implant case sends the crown to the mill and puck you cut implant crowns on, and the model to the printer you print models on. Different case types, different machines, chosen automatically rather than by a tech working through a dropdown for every file.

‍

The trigger is QC approval. EviSmart designs your cases your way. The same team works on all your cases and learns what a good case looks like to you. Once your case passes our QC, it triggers a greenlight to send the design directly into your Oqcam account in under a minute.

‍

Once the file arrives in your Oqcam, all your CAD/CAM technicians can review the nested design before starting the mill. That final QC step does not change and is not meant to.

‍

Setup is one session. We connect your Oqcam account and agree where each of your products should go, using the routes and materials you have already built there. Nothing new to create, and you only revisit it if something changes.

What you still control

Automatic sending only works if you trust what is being sent. Once a case is nested it gets cut, and a design that was not right is wasted material.

‍

You choose what flows. During setup we map only the case types you want moving on their own. Anything unmapped never sends. It waits for you exactly as it does today.

‍

Most labs start narrow. Bread and butter work first, night guards and posterior single units, then widen once they have watched it run for a few weeks. The lab that has been live longest started exactly there and has added case types since.

‍

Your approval stays. This removes the file shuffling between design and CAM. It does not remove your eyes from the build.

Who this actually suits

For labs outsourcing design work the math gets compelling somewhere north of 30 cases a day into nesting, because that is where the handoff stops being an annoyance and starts being a role.

The goal is touchless

Not touchless design. Touchless handoff. Every step in that chain that requires judgment should keep requiring judgment, and every step that never did should stop requiring a person.

‍

Nesting requires judgment. Confirming a build requires judgment. Renaming a file so software can read it does not, and never did. It was a workaround that quietly became somebody's job.

‍

Nobody pays you to rename files.
