Accurate patient's record and reliable information are keys to our understanding of orthodontics. The development of integrated three-dimensional tools for diagnosis and treatment planning is one of the most exciting developments in orthodontics as the specialty moves into the 21 st century. Three-dimensional imaging techniques provide extensive possibilities for the detailed and precise analysis of the whole craniofacial complex, for virtual (on-screen) simulation and real simulation of orthognathic surgery cases on biomodels before treatment, as well as for the detailed evaluation of the effects of treatment. |
