Abstract
A method of treating a patient's dentition may include generating, from a first 3D model of a first physical impression of a first arch of a patient and a second 3D model of a second physical impression of a first arch of the patient, a reconstructed 3D model of the first arch of the patient by incorporating one or more portions of the first 3D model with one or more portions of the second 3D model and creating a treatment plan for the patient's dentition using the first 3D model. The method may also include fabricating a set of dental alignment devices configured to implement the treatment plan when the dental alignment devices in the set of dental alignment devices are sequentially worn on the patient's dentition.
