Why 2D DSD is not for treatment plan?
Over the past two decades, the concept of Digital Smile Design (DSD) has transitioned from traditional analog methods and Photoshop to more sophisticated digital approaches.
Historically, 2D Smile Design has involved overlaying smile frames onto a patient’s photograph, adhering to mathematical guidelines such as the Golden Proportion and the Recurrent Esthetic Dental (RED) proportion. This method, while foundational, presents several limitations:
This is why accurately transforming 2D Smile Design into a 3D model and treatment plan is not feasible.
So, how can we easily simulate a new smile for patients while ensuring it serves as an ideal guide for final restorations?
Introducing 3D Smile Simulation: Overcoming 2D Limitations
The advent of 3D smile simulation has revolutionized digital smile design by resolving the shortcomings of 2D methods. This technology offers a comprehensive view of both upper and lower arches and serves as an invaluable tool for both patient education and effective communication with dental labs.

Getting started is simple: one full-face smiling picture is all it takes.
With this, 3D outlines can be placed on the image, creating a realistic simulation of the new smile. This technology is especially beneficial for patients requiring detailed simulations, providing a clear vision of the expected results.
