The processing device determines two or more adjacent teeth in a virtual model, determines a characteristic of the teeth indicative of a spatial relationship between the teeth, determines that the characteristic satisfies a criterion for a virtual filler, and determines a geometry of the virtual filler based on the spatial relationship between the teeth.
