Systems and methods are provided for preparation of orthodontics and prosthodontics. A method may include scanning a patient's teeth to form first 3D data of the patient's teeth including a removable element that obscures part of the dental surfaces of the patient's teeth and non-obscured tooth surfaces, removing the removable element form the patient's teeth so that the removable element no longer obscures the part of the dental surfaces of the patient's teeth, and scanning the previously obscured part of the dental surfaces of the patent's teeth and the non-obscured tooth surfaces.

Proposed is a method of forming, by utilizing a computer, an implant shape for minimizing stress to be applied to an implant, and a method of and an apparatus for recommending an optimal occlusal adjustment region for an implant by utilizing a computer. The method and apparatus also serve the purpose of adjusting force acting on an occlusal adjustment surface of an implant crown in such a manner that a direction of the force is closest to an implanted direction of an implant and of minimizing stress applied to the implant. In the method and apparatus, by utilizing a computer program, an occlusal adjustment surface between an arbitrarily selected crown on a position of a missing tooth and an antagonist tooth is extracted, and then an angle that an external force vector applied by the antagonist tooth to each local portion makes to the implant is minimized.
