Abstract
A system comprises an image capture device, a processing device, and a display. The image capture device captures a stream of images of a face of a person showing a current dentition of the person and soft facial tissues of the person. The processing device processes the stream of images to generate a modified stream of images showing a modified dentition of the person and modified soft facial tissues of the person associated with the modified dentition. The display displays the modified stream of images.
