The advent of new technology has caused significant changes in the field of dentistry, enabling dentists and orthodontists to provide more efficient and effective treatments to their patients. From digital X-rays to 3D printing, technological advancements have transformed the way dental care is delivered, making it more accurate, safe, and patient-friendly.
Three-dimensional (3D) facial imaging systems are useful tools that enable facial evaluation. As a strong correlation between skeletal and soft-tissue morphology exists, and facial evaluation can be fundamental for pre-surgery planning, postoperative assessment of facial symmetry, and surgical shape changes. Especially in clinical assessments, it enables an accurate diagnosis for different syndromes through the evaluation of normal and abnormal growth, surgical planning and orthodontic treatment.
