The method includes obtaining a 3D scan of the upper jaw and lower jaw of the patient; obtaining a digital 3D arrangement of the denture teeth, where the denture teeth are pre-set in occlusion; digitally arranging the 3D scan of the upper jaw and lower jaw relative to the 3D arrangement of the denture teeth; and digitally transforming at least one denture tooth based on input from a user; where at least one design rule is enforced that affect one or more, but not all of the blocks, when the at least one denture tooth is transformed.
