Photographic ‘Kesling set-up’

Abstract

The following report details a technique for producing a digital ‘Kesling-type setup’, which can give the patients an indication of how their dentition will look at the end of orthodontic treatment. High quality digital photographs of the patients’ teeth are probably easier for the patients to relate to than a set of doctored plaster models.
