Systems and methods for monitoring orthodontic treatment

A method of monitoring a patient's teeth during an orthodontic treatment, the method comprising:

• sending sensor data from an orthodontic appliance while the orthodontic appliance is worn on the patient's teeth, wherein the sensor data includes data for at least one parameter related to a change in movement and/or position of one or more teeth of the patient's teeth;
• and
• receiving a recommendation to modify the orthodontic treatment or to replace the orthodontic appliance, wherein recommendation is determined by:
• converting the sensor data to predicted tooth position and/or movement associated with the one or more teeth;
• and
• comparing the predicted tooth position and/or movement to an expected tooth position and/or movement of the one or more teeth.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

• receiving sensor data captured by one or more sensors of an orthodontic appliance while the orthodontic appliance is worn on a patient's teeth, wherein the orthodontic appliance is configured to implement at least a portion of an orthodontic treatment, wherein the one or more sensors are configured to sense at least one parameter related to a change in movement and/or position of one or more teeth of the patient's teeth;
• converting the sensor data to predicted tooth position and/or movement associated with the one or more teeth;
• comparing the predicted tooth position and/or movement to an expected tooth position and/or movement of the one or more teeth;
• and
• determining, based on the comparison, that the orthodontic treatment should be modified or that the orthodontic appliance should be replaced.
