Digital workflow for the analysis of maxillary models from intraoral scans. A, B Segmentation of the palate by connecting the most apical points of the lingual dento-gingival junctions of all teeth; C Generation of the 3D model of the palatal vault; D Generation of duplicated mirrored model of the palatal vault; E Superimposition of the original and mirrored models using the MPP plane and its perpendicular plane as reference; F Final superimposition adjustment using ‘best-fit’ alignment algorithm
