TREATMENT PLANNING
Our Treatment Planning Pathway is designed to equip you with a holistic, big-picture view of smile design. We focus on Smile Design Treatment Planning (SDTP), which begins with a comprehensive analysis of the face. This approach provides practitioners with a structured treatment sequence for smile design cases.
Smile Design Treatment Planning (SDTP)
SDTP involves a series of steps to ensure the best outcomes for smile design cases. Once the ideal smile is designed, clinicians use decision trees to determine the appropriate treatment options. The eight steps for SDTP are as follows:
Data Acquisition Phase
Facial Analysis
OVD and TMJ Analysis
Lip Analysis
Dental Analysis
Gingival Analysis
Mandibular Arch and Occlusal Analysis
Virtual Treatment Analysis
By following these steps, practitioners can achieve optimal results in smile design, ensuring both functional and esthetic success.
