Method of manufacturing a series of aligners for an orthodontic and/or dental treatment of a patient's teeth. In particular, described herein are methods of manufacturing a series of aligners that includes displaying images of the patient's teeth at the final stages for a subset of the treatment plans from the array of treatment plans in a manner that allows the user to select between the different treatment plans in order to select a treatment plan for fabrication.

Methods of manufacturing dental aligners

Orthodontic and/or dental treatment planning methods and apparatuses. In particular, described herein are methods of generating a plurality of orthodontic treatment plans digitally using a hierarchy of bounding boxes enclosing the plurality of 3D shapes to avoid collisions during treatment.

Treatment plan generation using collision detection by shape filling

Orthodontic and/or dental treatment planning methods and apparatuses. In particular, described herein are methods of generating a plurality of potential treatment plan variations for the concurrent and interactive review of the treatment plan variations. Treatment settings may be determined based on initial tooth positions and may be arranged in a hierarchy of treatment settings. Each of the plurality of treatment plans may be generated based on a set of treatment settings from the hierarchy of treatment settings. Also described herein are orthodontic and/or dental treatment planning methods and apparatuses that present the plurality of treatment plans to the user to allow a user to select a treatment plan from a plurality of different treatment plans.

Prediction of multiple treatment settings

Orthodontic devices such as aligners, palatal expanders, retainers, and dental implants can be used to adjust the position of teeth and to treat various dental irregularities. To help the clinician or doctor (i.e., orthodontist) design and plan the subject's treatment plan, a 3D digital model of the subject's teeth, dentition, and gingiva can be constructed from a 3D scan of the subject's mouth, teeth, dentition, and gingiva. The 3D model of the subject's teeth and dentition can be displayed graphically to the doctor on a display using a computing system with memory and software.

Methods and systems for visualizing teeth and treatment planning

Methods and systems including: receiving one or more 2D images of a patient's face including a depiction of the patient's teeth in an initial arrangement; extracting teeth contours of the patient's teeth from within the mouth region of the one or more received 2D images of the patient's face; generating, using a neural network, a 2D rendering depicting a post-treatment arrangement of the patient's teeth based on the one or more received 2D images; generating a realistic composite 2D image depicting the patient's face with the 2D rendering depicting the post-treatment arrangement of the patient's teeth; and sending the realistic composite 2D image for display on a user interface of an output device.

Generating a virtual patient depiction of an orthodontic treatment

Systems for visualizing teeth and treatment planning

A method may include: receiving an image of a mouth region of a patient's face; extracting teeth contours within the image of the mouth region of the patient's face; locating a mouth opening within the image of the mouth region of the patient's face; extracting the tooth contours from a 3D model of the patient's teeth; and aligning the tooth contours from the 3D model with the tooth contours of the teeth within the image of the mouth region of the patient's face.

Automated 2D/3D integration and lip spline autoplacement

Digital treatment planning by modeling inter-arch collisions

Orthodontic and/or dental treatment planning methods and apparatuses. In particular, described herein are methods of generating a plurality of potential treatment plan variations for the concurrent and interactive review of the treatment plan variations. Each variation may be optimized to best address the user's treatment goals, as well as approximating as closely as possible an ideal or target final position. Also described herein are orthodontic and/or dental treatment planning methods and apparatuses that allow a user to form, modify, and select a treatment plan from a plurality of different treatment plans, in real time.
