A method of digitally designing a dental component for a patient, wherein the method includes: obtaining a 3D representation of the patients upper jaw obtaining a 3D representation of the patients lower jaw obtaining at least a first 3D representation of a first bite configuration of the patients jaws in a first occlusion and a second 3D representation of a second bite configuration of the patients jaws in a second occlusion different from the first occlusion digitally determining a occlusal contact movement of the patients jaws relative to each other based on the at least first 3D representation, the second 3D representation and contact between the patients upper jaw and lower jaw and digitally designing the dental component based on the occlusal contact movement of the patients jaw relative to each other.
