2D Smile Design

Initial Smile


The smile photo must be centred and levelled; otherwise, all subsequent steps will be inaccurate.



Smile Analysis


Identifying facial landmarks to aid in designing the smile frame.


DSD Template


Restoring symmetry and harmony to the smile by utilizing ideal dental and interdental proportions incorporated within the DSD template.


Smile Simulation


It not only helps visualize the final results but also serves as a crucial diagnostic tool in the treatment planning phase.


3D Smile Design

Initial Scan


Most commonly, the files are in .stl or .ply format, which are compatible with all intraoral scanners.


DSD Template


Merge the 2D design with the 3D intraoral scan.


Additive (Motivational) Wax-up


It serves a dual purpose: it will be used both as a smile test drive and as a guide for veneer preparation.


Reductive (Ideal) Wax-up


It will be utilised to create the putty stent for fabricating temporary veneers and will also serve as a guide for the ceramist in constructing the final porcelain veneers.

Marwan has clearly put a lot of work into this course. To simplify and demystify a seemingly complex task. Breaking DSD down into steps and a checklist. Using only free/widely available software. Finishing with a 3D wax up that will be used to make your temporary restorations. As well as guide the lab technician to make the final restorations. For a predictable, consistent outcome for your smile design case. Broken down into short form videos easy to watch. Only 1 hour total to watch the whole course.

I recently got a digital scanner and wanted to learn how beautiful smiles were digitally designed. DSD made easy was a great first stepping stone into the design world for me. Everything taught was clear and concise. The course showed what photographs were required, which landmarks guide the position of teeth, how a 2D design can become a 3D design and it also provides the stl files of teeth which you can then use yourself. Dr. Marwan who created this course is very easy to talk to, takes time out of his busy schedule to help and explain things and has quite a lot of experience making beautiful smiles. For someone without prior digital design knowledge, I thought it was a fantastic course. If you want to design your own digital smiles, check out this course.
