Abstract

Dental study models are a cornerstone in the armamentarium used by orthodontists to both classify malocclusion and formulate treatment plans. Recent technological advances have allowed the generation of digital dental models that can be saved and viewed three-dimensionally on a computer. These new digital models solve many problems encountered with conventional plaster study models. This article overviews the advent of digital models and the advantages of their use. OrthoCAD™ and emodels™ will be compared relative to the technology used to generate these models, software capabilities, additional services, and available research.
