OMFS-IMPATH Research Group, University Hospital of Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium.Since the 3D facial scanning technology became available, its popularity has rapidly increased mainly due to its non-invasive and non-ionizing properties. Th is 3D technology gives a realistic representation of the head and face of the patient, which can be used to analyze maxillofacial deformities and surgical outcome as well as orthodontic diagnosis, treatment plan, relapse problems and followup.
