Fig 2

a. The patient is sitting in the center of a calibrated laser scanner with the bite-jig in place.

b. A 3D facial surface model in NHP is generated by the laser scanner.

c. A soft tissue facial model is rendered from the CT scan in addition to the bone models.

d. The soft tissue facial model and its underlying bone models are registered to the laser scanned NHP model.

e. After the CT models are reoriented to the NHP, the soft tissue model is marked hidden. (Color version of figure is available online.)
