Frequently Asked Questions

The DSD App by Digital Smile Design is a digital tool for dentists to create esthetic and functional smile designs that enhance patient communication. It facilitates collaboration among dental professionals and integrates with various dental technologies. The DSD App is a 2-dimensional tool for dentists that supports the initial study of a case and allows design modifications to the smile. It is an effective tool for:

- dentists to start analyzing and understanding a patient’s face

- communicating and motivating patients visually

- improving communication between the clinic and dental lab

As it is a 2D visualization tool that can be used for case acceptance, it is not a case planning or design software. It is a simulator that initiates the case study.

With the DSD App you will be able to perform a 2D Digital Smile Design for your patient. The App has 10 libraries of teeth that can be adjusted to the needs of your patient. The App also functions as a great communication tool that you can use with your patient to explain the desired outcome of their treatment.

With the DSD App you can study the face of your patients, observing the initial situation by tracing lines and curves that will help you understand the current condition.

You can also start to analyze the potential ideal case, tracing new lines and curves (also known as the smile frame) that will determine the ideal position, size, shape and proportion of the teeth and perioral areas for that patient.

Once you have drawn the lines and curves (smile frame) you will be able to create a simulation of the teeth to see a before and after.

To study the complete case and to be able to discuss a treatment plan, 3D tools are needed in which more photographs of the patient, video, STL models, radiographs and/or CBCT, digital articulators, etc. are used. To do this, we have the DSD Planning Center service in which all these functions can be developed to plan a case.
