Abstract
A system comprises an intraoral scanner, a three-dimensional (3D) image capture device, and a computing device operatively coupled to the intraoral scanner and to the 3D image capture device. The computing device receives intraoral scan data of a dental site of a patient generated by the intraoral scanner during intraoral scanning. The computing device further receives one or more 3D images of a face of the patient generated by the 3D image capture device during the intraoral scanning, wherein the intraoral scanner is captured in the one or more 3D images. The computing device registers the one or more 3D images of the face of the patient to the first intraoral scan data based at least in part on a first position of the intraoral scanner relative to the face of the patient in the one or more 3D images.
