Abstract
Method and system including receiving one or more parameters associated with an orthodontic condition, receiving a treatment goal information associated with the orthodontic condition, and providing a predefined template associated with the received treatment goal information, wherein the predefined template includes at least one orthodontic condition related information, are provided.
Claims23
A method of generating proposed orthodontic treatments, comprising:
- scanning, with an intraoral scanner, a patient's teeth to collect data for a three-dimensional model of the patient's teeth;
- receiving the three-dimensional model of the patient's teeth;
- clustering, by a data driven analyzer, patient histories based on parameters associated with orthodontic conditions of the patient in the patient histories into a plurality of clusters, comprising at least a first cluster and a second cluster, wherein the data driven analyzer is trained by patient history data to identify statistically significant patterns of different treatment outcomes;
- determining, by the data driven analyzer, probability models of risks for the first cluster and the second cluster;
- identifying, by the data driven analyzer, pre-treatment variables associated with probability models of risks for the first cluster and the second cluster;
- and
- providing feedback for orthodontic treatment of the patient's teeth based on the identified pre-treatment variables factors and the three-dimensional model of the patient's teeth acquired through scanning of the patient's teeth, wherein the feedback comprises a visual comparison of the three-dimensional model of the patient's teeth with a reference three-dimensional model.

A system of datamining to generate proposed treatments, comprising:
- a processor;
- an intraoral scanner configured to scan a patient's teeth to collect data for a three-dimensional model of the patient's teeth;
- a memory comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the system to:
- receive the three-dimensional model of the patient's teeth;
- cluster, by a data driven analyzer, patient histories based on parameters associated with orthodontic conditions of the patient in the patient histories into a plurality of clusters, comprising at least a first cluster and a second cluster, wherein the data driven analyzer is trained by patient history data to identify statistically significant patterns of different treatment outcomes;
- determine, by the data driven analyzer, probability models of risks for the first cluster and the second cluster;
- and
- provide feedback for orthodontic treatment of the patient's teeth based on the identified pre-treatment variable and the three-dimensional model of the patient's teeth acquired through scanning of the patient's teeth, wherein the feedback comprises a visual comparison of the three-dimensional model of the patient's teeth with a reference three-dimensional model.
