Claim One:
1. A method for digital dental modeling, comprising: receiving a three-dimensional data set including a first jaw and a second jaw of a three-dimensional digital dental model; receiving a two-dimensional data set corresponding to at least a portion of the first jaw and the second jaw; mapping two-dimensional data of the two-dimensional data set to the three-dimensional digital dental model by transforming a coordinate system of the two-dimensional data to a coordinate system of the three-dimensional data set; positioning the first jaw with respect to the second jaw based on the two-dimensional data mapped to the three-dimensional data set; and using at least a portion of the two-dimensional data mapped to the three-dimensional data set as a target of movement of the first jaw with respect to the second jaw in the three-dimensional digital dental model.
