Know Your Tooth – Thumb Sucking & Dental Development Teaching Interactive App
It was a collaborative and coordinated effort on an interactive interface for educational purposes, in this case to teach children the consequences of thumb sucking. This was made with the interest of teaching participants about thumb sucking and deformation of the teeth.
Steps that we have done
- Coordinated a cross-functional student team, aligning members on educational objectives and session structure; contributed clinical expertise in paediatric dental development.
- Designed scenes showing the animation of thumb sucking and how teeth get misaligned, controlled using a slider
- Sourced models from Sketchfab, retopologised and corrected accordingly
- Used Unity for animations and C# scripting to control the slider mechanism and buttons
Result: A part of the project showing animations of a child sucking their thumb, how teeth get misaligned, and what a parent should do to educate the child and stop the habit.
