`
`virtual model comprising at least one prepared tooth are aligned based on the alignment
`
`between the first and the second 30 virtual model and based on the alignment between the 20
`
`image and the second 30 model.
`
`118. (New) The method according to claim 110, wherein the method comprises virtually
`
`cutting at least a part of the teeth out of the at least one 20 image, such that at least the lips
`

`
`virtual model are aligned by means of scaling, translating and/or rotating the 20 image and/or
`
`the 30 model relative to each other.
`
`122. (New) The method according to claim 110, wherein the silhouette of the biting
`
`edge of at least the upper anterior teeth on the one or more 20 image and on the 30 virtual

`124. (New) The method according to claim 110, wherein the method further comprises
`
`sectioning at least two or more of the teeth in the 30 model and/or in the one or more 20
`
`images.
