Tooth Movement in 3D Chart Mode

This button allows you to change the position of the tooth.

The left mouse button will move the tooth left, right, up and down on screen.

The right mouse button will move the tooth higher or lower relative to the occlusal plane.

This button allows you to rotate the tooth.
