Abstract
A method may include displaying one or more interactive 2D images, each 2D image representing at least bony tissue cranio-facial features of a patient and each 2D image having one or more portions each associated with a corresponding portion of the patient's bony. The method may also include displaying a 3D image representing exterior soft-tissue cranio-facial features of the patient. The method may additionally include receiving input from a user regarding movement of a particular portion of the one or more portions of the 2D image. The method may further include redrawing the 3D image based at least on the movement of the particular portion of the 2D image to simulate response of the exterior soft-tissue cranio-facial features of the patient to movement of a portion of the patient's bony tissue corresponding to the particular portion of the 2D image.
