The 3Shape Smile Design app, built on Digital Smile Design principles, helps create highly esthetic restorative treatment plans based on a patient’s desired smile. The suggested restoration can be drawn directly on a patient’s 2D image using the app—a workflow that takes only minutes. Patient-approved smile designs are then brought into 3Shape Dental System software, where, using Dental System’s RealView engine, the 2D picture is combined with 3D digital impressions to facilitate the functional restorations.
