Abstract
A method for displaying teeth after planned orthodontic treatment in order to show persons how their smiles will look after the treatment. The method includes receiving a digital 3D model of teeth or rendered images of teeth, and an image of a person such as a digital photo. The method uses a generator network to produce a generated image of the person showing teeth of the person, the person's smile, after the planned orthodontic treatment. The method uses a discriminator network processing input images, generated images, and real images to train the generator network through deep learning models to product a photo-realistic image of the person after the planned treatment.
