Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for treating teeth to correct for malocclusions. This may be accomplished in one variation by receiving a scanned dental model of a subject's dentition, determining a treatment plan having a plurality of incremental movements for repositioning one or more teeth of the subject's dentition, and fabricating one or more aligners correlating to a first subset of the plurality of incremental movements.
Claims22
A method for developing a treatment plan via a processor for correcting one or more malocclusions in a subject, comprising:
- receiving a scanned dental model of a subject's dentition;
- determining a treatment plan having a plurality of incremental movements for repositioning one or more teeth of the subject's dentition, wherein one or more three-dimensional spheres of influence each having a predefined diameter is assigned to a model of each of the one or more teeth to define a safety envelope and to set a proximity distance between each tooth model as the tooth models move along a tooth movement path;
- displaying the tooth movement path of each tooth model;
- and
- fabricating one or more aligners correlating to a first subset of the plurality of incremental movements.
