Objective: Exploring the application value of 3D digital dental models in 5S management in orthodontics. Methods: We selected 100 patients with malocclusion admitted to our orthodontic department (from January to December 2024) as the subjects of analysis. These patients were randomly divided into a control group and a study group using a random number table method, with 55 patients in each group. The control group was treated with plaster dental models, while the study group was treated with three-dimensional digital dental model technology. Both groups underwent quality control using the 5S management model, and the effects were compared. Results: The study group had a lower model loss rate and superior model accuracy compared to the control group (P<0.05). The control group had longer single treatment duration and total treatment duration compared to the study group (P<0.05). The pain-free rate and mild pain rate in the control group were 8.90% and 24.44%, respectively, which were lower than those in the study group (25.45% and 43.64%, respectively) (P<0.05). Conclusion: In the 5s management of orthodontics, applying three-dimensional digital dental models to patients with malocclusion can achieve good results.
