Abstract

Systems and methods for generating a 3D model of a dentition are disclosed herein. A method includes generating a first 3D model of a dentition including a plurality of model teeth. The method includes receiving at least one digital representation comprising patient teeth. The method includes determining a virtual camera parameter. The virtual camera parameter corresponds with a camera used to capture the digital representation. The method includes comparing, based on the virtual camera parameter, a first position of a model tooth with a position of a corresponding patient tooth of the digital representation. The method includes moving the model tooth from the first position to a second position. The second position is based on the position of the corresponding patient tooth. The method includes generating a second 3D model comprising the model tooth of the first 3D model in the second position.
