vision.
1. Mid-sagittal plane laser beam: Position the Mid-sagittal plane laser beam
on the center of the patient's face to prevent magnifications of the left or right
side in the final image.
2. Frankfurt plane laser beam: Position the patient's head so that the
Frankfurt plane is aligned with the Frankfurt plane laser beam.
* The Frankfurt plane is the plane which joins the infra-orbital point to the
superior border of the external auditory meatus.
3. Canine laser beam: Have the patient smile to properly position the canine
laser beam on the center of the patient's canine tooth. Rotate the thumb wheel,
located under the patient support rest, forward or backward to properly align the
beam.
