I'd like to know about Orthodontic or Oral Surgery directed SW myself.  My
wife's Oral Surgeon doesn't feel there is any software that is easy to use
that can do anything more than taking a scanned photo and giving one the
ability to modify it till you get the look that the patient would like.  His
main complaint is that that only shows you what the soft tissue looks like, 
not how much to move the bone to accomplish the look.

We are looking for SW that would be able to map the scanned photo to an
xray with appropriate correlation points.  We've even discussed a modification
of the old stereoscopy techniques that, in effect, give a "topographical"
map of the face.

Anyway, please include me in E-mail with information.  Thanks!
