A dental analysis system and method for designing the dentition of a patient,comprising the steps of: providing a visual representation of the dentition,inputting a value representative of the number of teeth on a side of thedentition, inputting at least two quantities taken from a group consisting ofa ratio, an inter-teeth distance and a central incisor width, computing theposition of the teeth within the dentition by applying a mathematical functionto the vafue representative of the number of teeth on a side of the dentitionand the at feast two quantities and juxtaposing positioning lines over thevisual representation of the dentition, the positioning lines indicating theposition of the teeth as computed.
