US 12,740,712 B2 · Systems and methods for identifying and correcting food traps

Abstract

A system for treating food traps may include an intraoral scanner and a processor coupled in electronic communication with the intraoral scanner, a processor, and memory comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the system to carry out a method. The method may include receiving a 3D digital model of a patient's detention and analyzing the 3D digital model of the patient's detention by detecting anatomic structures in the 3D digital model of the patient's detention that correspond to food traps. The 3D digital model of the patient's detention may be displayed on a display and digital feedback may be provided on the displayed 3D digital model of the patient's detention. The feedback may identify a location of the food traps.

Dependent claims

A system for treating food traps, the system comprising:

a processor;
and
memory comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the system to carry out a method of:
receiving a plurality of 3D digital models of a patient's detention taken over time;
analyzing the plurality of 3D digital models of the patient's detention by detecting changes in anatomic structures between each of the plurality of 3D digital models of the patient's detention;
determining that the detected changes indicate a formation of a food trap between the anatomic structures;
displaying the 3D digital model of the patient's detention on a display;
and
providing digital feedback on the displayed 3D digital model of the patient's detention that identifies a location of the formation of the food trap.
