See how it works

Two tools built to get a regular case through quickly

The Wizard in Implant Master and the Happy Button in OrthoPlus were added for one purpose: to carry a regular case from start to finish without anyone having to drive the whole design environment. Each performs one step at a time and names the step that follows, which makes them the quickest way through routine work and the place to start on day one. The full workflow pages stay available for the cases that need more.

Select your case type — the Wizard's first page

Implant Master

The Wizard

A routine case is six steps, one page at a time. There is nothing else to learn to finish one.

A new project opens the Wizard on your case type. From there it is one page per step, with Previous and Next Step at the bottom and only the controls that step needs. The extra tools sit in the sidebars, where a straightforward case can ignore them.

  1. 1Case — choose the case type
  2. 2Bone — review the segmentation
  3. 3Nerve — review the nerve channel
  4. 4Implants — place the fixture
  5. 5Guide — design the surgical guide
  6. 6Report

Working from a radiographic guide or a separate optical scan adds its own load and register steps, and the Wizard leaves out the ones your case type does not use. When the volume loads you are asked whether the AI engine should segment it in the background, which turns the segmentation step into a review.

The Happy Button

One button, pressed again and again. That is the whole aligner workflow.

Almost the whole aligner workflow is driven by one control. The Happy Button sits at the bottom right and always shows the next step: press it, GuideMia performs that step, and the button changes to name whatever comes next.

  1. 1Fix the jaw models and set the occlusion plane
  2. 2Tooth segmentation, crown boundaries and arch curves
  3. 3Virtual roots and tooth alignment
  4. 4Movement plan and stage planning
  5. 5Base and arch models, aligner boundaries, attachments
  6. 6Aligner or bracket bonding guide design, case tag, then send the case out for web review

That is the whole span — from the raw scans to the appliance and the case going out. You can leave the sequence at any point to do something by hand, and pressing the button again picks the thread back up; the instruction text beside it names the step it is standing on.

Today's playbook

Surgical Guide Design Software: Running a Design Service

Surgical guide design software for small dental labs launching or standardizing a guide design service, production-tested end to end.

For Small Dental Labs

This cookbook is written for small dental labs that already have some form of digital workflow and want to launch or standardize a surgical guide design service. It is practical, step-by-step, and based on how GuideMia dental implant software and the Cympha platform are actually used in production.

This document focuses only on implant surgical guides. A separate cookbook is available for clear aligners.

1. What you need to start a surgical guide design service

To operate a surgical guide design service, you need five fundamental components: software, collaboration, case management, manufacturing, and training/support.

A) Surgical guide design software (lab side)

GuideMia Implant Master — sold in three tiers: Starter, Studio and Enterprise

  • Used by your in-house designers or engineers
  • Starter covers the core workflow: CBCT/DICOM processing, implant planning with full control of depth/angulation/prosthetic positioning, restoration-driven workflows, surgical guide design, and unlimited export of manufacturing-ready STL and restoration models
  • Studio adds AI segmentation of CBCT volumes, zygomatic implant planning, and bone reduction guides
  • Enterprise adds prosthesis guides, and combined guides for partially edentulous and full-arch cases

GuideMia Implant Master is FDA 510(k) cleared (K121466) and built under an ISO 13485 quality system.

B) Implant planning and review software (clinic / doctor side)

Cympha Studio (studio.cympha.com) lets clinicians open the implant plan in any browser, review positions, and adjust placement if needed. Studio is where the plan is viewed and edited — the approval itself is recorded in Cympha, on the case's Review and Approve page, so the clinician sees the files and the lab slip before signing off. Designed to be simple and fast, with no installation required on the doctor's side.

C) Case Management, Sharing & Communication

Cympha (app.cympha.com) is the platform where you run the design service. One workflow handles:

  • Case submission portals for doctors
  • File upload (CBCT, scans, photos)
  • Status tracking, case chat, and an append-only case event log spanning 22 event types — every status change, every file added or removed, every label, comment and approval, in order and permanently
  • A fixed role catalogue: each person picks one role when they sign up and it does not change afterwards; lab staff join by requesting the lab manager's approval, and the manager holds the roster
  • Read-only colleague sharing by email, for anyone who only needs to look at the case
  • Per-case billing and invoicing

Cympha Studio (studio.cympha.com) is the browser-based 3D viewer for sharing plans with clinicians and patients — interactive 3D model viewing, snapshot/bookmark/annotation, 4D playback for orthodontics and multi-stage visualization for implants, no installation required on the recipient's side.

FAQ

Which product is the dental implant software, and which is the orthodontic software?
Implant Master is the dental implant software: CBCT planning and surgical guide design. OrthoPlus is the orthodontic software and clear aligner software, with OrthoClic as its chairside planner. Each discipline has a free planner to start with.
Does it work with my CBCT?
Yes. GuideMia reads DICOM from any CBCT system rather than one manufacturer's format, and the same applies to intra-oral, desktop and facial scanners. That openness is the reason the software exists.
Can I print guides and models on my own printer?
Yes. Output is STL, so any printer or mill you already run will take it. There is no tied consumable and no per-print fee.
What do the free planners not do?
The Implant Planner plans, measures and presents. The OrthoPlus Planner opens a case someone sends you and lets you adjust the staging, but cannot start a new case. Designing the appliance — a surgical guide, an aligner, a bonding tray — and exporting it for manufacture is the paid step in both disciplines.
How does the free trial work?
Paid plans start with a 15-day free trial with full features. Cancel inside the trial and you are not charged.
Which implant systems are supported?
The library covers the major systems and is not restricted to a single manufacturer. Components you work with that are not in it can be added.
Is training included?
Tutorials and recorded cases are free on the training page. One-to-one sessions with a trainer are bookable separately.
Can the software be white-labelled?
Yes. The implant and orthodontic suites can be licensed or white-labelled under your own brand — treatment planning, appliance and guide design, case communication and online case review. It is set up for implant manufacturers, aligner brands, guide labs and DSOs, and the OEM page on cympha.com has the detail.
Do you take on custom development?
Yes, and we are open to that kind of partnership. Beyond the packaged products we build to order across digital dentistry: AI and machine learning on dental imaging, browser-native 3D, integration between systems, and cloud infrastructure. The OEM and custom development page on cympha.com lists what we take on.
