During the diagnostic process, all the information gathered at the initial conversation with the patient must be clearly brought together like pieces of a puzzle, allowing the clinician to set up a diagnosis schedule using all of the relevant data. At the next appointment, the clinician can use various effective tools to show the expected result to their patients, such as diagnostic wax models, computer-based smile design programs, or a composite mock-up taken from the patient’s teeth during the clinical appointment. In addition, a diagnostic setup is needed for orthodontic-restorative diastema cases with microdontia or hypodontia, to guide both the orthodontist and restorative dentist in treatment planning and repositioning of the teeth to correct the malocclusion.
