Buccal

From the lingual, roll to the buccal at
a 45 degree horizontal angle and
use a rocking motion as the wand
moves towards the midline to
capture the interproximal anatomy.
After crossing the midline, begin on
the contralateral terminal tooth and
continue with the same rocking
motion to capture the buccal surface
from the posterior to the anterior.
Moving from posterior to anterior on
the buccal reduces the interference
from the cheek and provides a
smoother scanning experience.
Bring the cable end of the wand towards the arch to capture the mesial interproximal
anatomy and taking the cable end away from the arch will capture the distal
interproximal anatomy.
