Articulators have long been used for analyzing occlusal relationships during mandibular movements. However, a comprehensive evaluation of occlusal relationships can be hindered by the instrument as well as the casts. Recent developments in computer technology avoid these limitations by providing the ability to visualize and analyze occlusion. The process is accomplished by recording occlusal form and mandibular movements optically and then digitizing them for computer use. The computer can generate a visual simulation of the patient's occlusion at any position during mandibular movement, which enables analysis of the articulation from any perspective.
牙合架长期以来一直用于分析下颌运动过程中的咬合关系。然而，该仪器以及模型可能会妨碍对咬合关系进行全面评估。计算机技术的最新发展通过提供可视化和分析咬合的能力，避免了这些限制。该过程通过光学记录咬合形态和下颌运动，然后将其数字化以供计算机使用来完成。计算机可以生成患者在下颌运动过程中任何位置的咬合视觉模拟，从而能够从任何角度分析咬合关系。
