A digital 3D model of the denture comprising at least a denture part is provided. The denture part is configured for a jaw of a patient and comprises a dental arch with a plurality of artificial teeth arranged in an artificial gingiva.

The dental arch is moved as a whole relative to the fixed gingiva section in order to adjust the position of the dental arch. A geometrical form of the deformable gingiva section is deformed due to the moving of the dental arch, whereas the fixed gingiva section maintains the fixed geometrical form.
