Claims20
A system for manufacturing orthodontic appliances, the system comprising:
- a server comprising storage media having one or more instructions that when executed cause the server to:
- receive digitized data representing the patient's teeth and case type data for the patient;
- process the digitized data and the case type data so as to generate one or more manipulable three-dimensional computer models of the patient's teeth, the one or more manipulable three-dimensional computer models representing a sequential treatment plan for the patient's teeth;
- transmit the one or more manipulable three-dimensional computer models representing the sequential treatment plan to a computer associated with one or more treating professionals;
- receive, from the computer associated with the one or more treating professionals, feedback data for processing the one or more manipulable three-dimensional computer models of the patient's teeth;
- and
- process the feedback data so as to generate a plurality of digital data sets for manufacturing a plurality of sequential orthodontic appliances.
