Positioning individual three-dimensional model teeth based on two-dimensional images

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• generate a first 3D model of a dentition, the dentition comprising a plurality of model teeth;
• receive at least one digital representation comprising a plurality of patient teeth, the at least one digital representation comprising at least one of a 2D image or a video;
• determine a virtual camera parameter associated with a virtual camera, wherein the virtual camera parameter corresponds with a parameter of a camera used to capture the at least one digital representation;
• compare, based on the virtual camera parameter, a first position of a model tooth of the first 3D model with a position of a corresponding patient tooth of the at least one digital representation;
• move the model tooth of the first 3D model from the first position to a second position, the second position based on the position of the corresponding patient tooth, wherein moving the model tooth from the first position to the second position comprises an iterative process, the iterative process comprising a plurality of tooth adjustments and a corresponding plurality of virtual camera parameter adjustments made respective to the at least one digital representation;
• and
• generate a second 3D model comprising the model tooth of the first 3D model in the second position.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• generate a first 3D model of a dentition, the dentition comprising a plurality of model teeth;
• receive at least one digital representation comprising a plurality of patient teeth, the at least one digital representation comprising at least one of a 2D image or a video;
• determine a virtual camera parameter associated with a virtual camera, wherein the virtual camera parameter corresponds with a parameter of a camera used to capture the at least one digital representation;
• compare, based on the virtual camera parameter, a first position of a model tooth of the first 3D model with a position of a corresponding patient tooth of the at least one digital representation;
• move the model tooth of the first 3D model from the first position to a second position, the second position based on the position of the corresponding patient tooth, wherein moving the model tooth from the first position to the second position comprises an iterative process, the iterative process comprising a plurality of tooth adjustments and a corresponding plurality of virtual camera parameter adjustments made respective to the at least one digital representation;
• and
• generate a second 3D model comprising the model tooth of the first 3D model in the second position.
