Method and system for providing 3d teeth alignment image display services, and computer-readable medium on which the method is recorded

A method of providing 3D teeth alignment image display services using a computer system comprising at least one orthodontist terminal and a server computer connected to a network, the server computer comprising:

• a target teeth information input program for receiving a target teeth information on an orthodontic patient from the orthodontist terminal or an orthodontic patient terminal such that three or four images from a display are respectively projected onto a pyramidal three-sided or four-sided projection plate and thus the orthodontic patient checks a 3D hologram of his/her virtually aligned teeth;
• a three-view or four-view image information transformation program for transforming a virtually aligned teeth information that is obtained based on the target teeth information, to three-view or four-view image information outputtable by the display such that the virtually aligned teeth information is projectable onto the three-sided or four-sided projection plate;
• a three-view or four-view image information transmission program for transmitting the three-view or four-view image information to the orthodontist terminal;
• a target teeth information database for storing the target teeth information;
• and
• a three-view or four-view image information database for storing the three-view or four-view image information, and
• the method comprising:
• (a) receiving the target teeth information on the orthodontic patient from the orthodontist terminal or the orthodontic patient terminal using the target teeth information input program;
• (b) transforming the virtually aligned teeth information that is obtained based on the target teeth information, to the three-view or four-view image information outputtable by the display such that the virtually aligned teeth information is projectable onto the three-sided or four-sided projection plate, using the three-view or four-view image information transformation program;
• and
• (c) transmitting the three-view or four-view image information to the orthodontist terminal using the three-view or four-view image information transmission program.

• a target teeth information input program for receiving a target teeth information on an orthodontic patient from the orthodontist terminal or an orthodontic patient terminal such that three or four images from a display are respectively projected onto a substantially pyramidal three-sided or four-sided projection plate and thus the orthodontic patient checks a 3D hologram of his/her virtually aligned teeth;
• a three-view or four-view image information transformation program for transforming a virtually aligned teeth information that is obtained based on the target teeth information, to three-view or four-view image information outputtable by the display such that the virtually aligned teeth information is projectable onto the three-sided or four-sided projection plate;
• a three-view or four-view image information transmission program for transmitting the three-view or four-view image information to the orthodontist terminal;
• a target teeth information database for storing the target teeth information;
• a three-view or four-view image information database for storing the three-view or four-view image information;
• and
• a controller programmed to receive the target teeth information on the orthodontic patient from the orthodontist terminal or the orthodontic patient terminal using the target teeth information input program, to transform the virtually aligned teeth information that is obtained based on the target teeth information, to the three-view or four-view image information outputtable by the display such that the virtually aligned teeth information is projectable onto the three-sided or four-sided projection plate, using the three-view or four-view image information transformation program, and to transmit the three-view or four-view image information to the orthodontist terminal using the three-view or four-view image information transmission program.
