Abstract
Methods, systems and non-transitory computing device readable media for bite setting in dental treatment planning. In some examples, the methods may include using images and a three-dimensional (3D) model of a dentition. Points may be marked on the 3D model corresponding to points marked in the images of first and second jaws in the different relative positions. A pivot point and/or a range of motion of the first and second jaws may be based on the marked points. Forces may be repeatedly applying on the points of the 3D model to move the first jaw with respect to the second jaw using the determined pivot point and/or range of motion until the first jaw ceases moving, thereby indicating that a stable bite position has been achieved. The forces on the points of the 3D model may be provided for a dental treatment plan for the dentition.
