Abstract
Smile treatment planning systems and methods are described herein. One method for adjusting an image of a smile may generally comprise receiving a three-dimensional (3D) digital model of a dental arch of a patient, receiving a digital facial image of the patient which includes an image of one or more teeth of the patient when smiling, registering the 3D digital model to the one or more teeth of the patient from the digital facial image, correcting the 3D digital model for scale and distortion to create a corrected 3D digital model, and overlaying the corrected 3D digital model onto the digital facial image.
