Method, systems, and devices including: accessing a 3D model including a virtual representation of a patient's dentition at a treatment stage of an orthodontic treatment plan; obtaining an image of the patient's face and at least a portion of the patient's dentition; projecting the obtained image into a 3D space to create a projection of the patient's face and the at least the portion of the patient's dentition; generating a modified image of the patient representing the patient in the treatment stage of the orthodontic treatment plan, where the modified image is formed by combining the patient's dentition of the accessed 3D model with the patient's face of the projection; and sending instructions to display the modified image of the patient on an output device.
