TRANSFORMING SMILES: A CASE SERIES ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DIGITAL SMILE DESIGN

Abstract Smile designing has recently evolved significantly, shifting from traditional analogue methods to advanced digital techniques. In the past, practitioners would hand-draw on printed photos to demonstrate potential outcomes to patients. Although effective at the time, this approach lacked precision and flexibility. This case report series presents two instances of smile rehabilitation in patients with severe fluorosis, tooth discoloration, and shape alteration following orthodontic therapy. A fully digital approach was employed, utilizing two different scanners and software for smile design.
