1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
displaying a representation of clinical data for a subject's dentition, wherein the clinical data includes one or more of: (i) orthodontic treatment plans, (ii) tooth location, (iii) equipment attached to one or more teeth, and (iv) tooth modification;
receiving modifications to the clinical data;
receiving modifications to a view state of the representation of the clinical data wherein the view state includes one or more of (i) a user interface, (ii) an image renderer, and (iii) additional visualization parameters;
forming a three-dimensional (3D) scene of the clinical data based on modified clinical data, wherein the modified clinical data is modified by the modifications to the clinical data, wherein the 3D scene includes one or more of: (i) a digital tooth model of the subject's dentition, (ii) equipment attached to one or more teeth, and (iii) changes to one or more teeth;
rendering the modified clinical data as a 3D representation based on the 3D scene and view state;
displaying the 3D representation of the modified clinical data; and
receiving further modifications to the clinical data after displaying the 3D representation of the modified clinical data and updating the 3D scene, view state and 3D representation of the modified clinical data after receiving the further modifications to the clinical data.
