Abstract

Using a digital workflow in orthodontics and interdisciplinary dentistry undoubtedly benefits both the patient and professional. This 9-step protocol guides orthodontists through an interdisciplinary treatment planning and execution. First, it establishes an exhaustive digital diagnosis and then formulates an interdisciplinary digital treatment plan with 3-dimensional (3D) goals. Finally, objective verification of the treatment results occurs through 3D superimposition. This 9-step protocol proposes a fully integrated workflow platform by providing a digital, 3D, clear planning protocol for the interdisciplinary team. It gives them a clear vision of successfully managing the patient from start to finish. It is versatile, logical, and methodical and can be applied to any clinical situation involving orthodontics.
