Digital smile design

 

Digital smile design (digital smile design - DSD) is the process of creating an aesthetically optimal smile with the help of digital technologies. This process involves the use of various digital tools, such as image and video processing software, digital cameras, scanners, as well as CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) technologies.

Digital smile design is used in dentistry and aesthetic medicine to allow patients to see how their smile will look after treatment. This helps dentists and cosmetic surgeons plan and perform treatments more accurately, and allows patients to see their future smile before treatment is performed.

The digital smile design process usually begins with photographing and videotaping the patient's teeth and lips. This information is then processed by digital software to create a 3D model of the smile. Dentists and cosmetic surgeons can use this model to suggest different treatments and simulate the end results.

Digital smile design is a useful tool that helps patients achieve the desired look of their smile, and dentists and cosmetic surgeons perform more precise and effective treatments.
