PROSTHODONTIC AND ORTHODONTIC APPARATUS AND METHODS

System and method for planning a dental treatment for a patient's dentition, including receiving a virtual model of a patient's dentition; receiving a constraint on a restorative parameter for the dental treatment; generating a prosthodontic treatment plan based on the virtual model of the patient's dentition; generating an orthodontic treatment plan based on the virtual model of the patient's dentition, the orthodontic treatment plan including a plurality of tooth movement steps to move one or more teeth of the patient's dentition from a beginning configuration to a plurality of intermediate configurations; evaluating the restorative parameter at each of the plurality of intermediate configurations; and setting a first of the plurality of intermediate configurations to begin prosthodontic treatment begins, the first of the plurality of intermediate configurations satisfying the constraint on the restorative parameter.
