Systems and methods for generating a 3D model of a dentition are disclosed herein. A method includes generating a first 3D model of a dentition. The dentition includes a model tooth in a first position. The method includes receiving a digital representation comprising a patient tooth. The patient tooth corresponds to the model tooth of the first 3D model. The method includes determining a virtual camera parameter associated with the digital representation. The method includes adjusting the virtual camera parameter to determine a 3D position of the corresponding patient tooth. The method includes moving the model tooth of the first 3D model from the first position to a second position. The second position corresponds to the 3D position of the corresponding patient tooth. The method includes generating a second 3D model comprising the model tooth of the first 3D model in the second position.
