Zusammenfassung:	The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for customizing dental care. In one aspect, a 3-D dental scan of the interior of a user's mouth is received, which includes upper teeth and gums and lower teeth and gums in a closed mouth position. An updated 3-D representation of the interior of the user's mouth is generated, including the upper teeth and gums and the lower teeth and gums in an open mouth position. A customized mouthpiece is generated, based on the updated 3-D representation of the user's mouth, and the customized mouthpiece is configured to be received in the user's mouth in the open mouth position.
