Abstract
A quality control system for maintaining quality control standards in the manufacture of indirect bonding trays and loading brackets into the indirect bonding trays.
Claims27
A quality control system, comprising:
- a processor communicatively coupled to a non-transitory computer readable media containing a program code executable to:
- receive digital images of an indirect bonding tray under inspection;
- generate an image model of said indirect bonding tray based on said digital images;
- retrieve a digital model of said indirect bonding tray;
- compare said image model of said indirect bonding tray to said digital model of said indirect bonding tray;
- and
- record one or more variances between said image model of said indirect bonding tray to said digital model of said indirect bonding tray.

A quality control system, comprising:
- a processor communicatively coupled to a non-transitory computer readable media containing a program code executable to:
- retrieve a digital model of an indirect bonding tray under inspection, said digital model of said indirect bonding tray including bracket pockets loaded with dental brackets each having a bracket identification mark;
- receive digital images of said indirect bonding tray under inspection, said digital images including said bracket pockets loaded with said dental brackets each having said bracket identification mark;
- generate an image model based on said digital images of said indirect bonding tray including said bracket pockets loaded with said dental brackets each having said bracket identification mark;
- compare said image model of said indirect bonding tray including said bracket pockets loaded with said dental brackets each having said bracket identification mark to said digital model of said bonding tray loaded with said dental brackets each having said bracket identification mark;
- and
- record variances between said image model of said indirect bonding tray including said bracket pockets loaded with dental brackets each having said bracket identification mark and said digital model of said indirect bonding tray including said bracket pockets loaded with dental brackets each having said bracket identification mark.
4 more elements
A method of quality control, comprising:
- disposing an indirect bonding tray on an inspection platform;
- illuminating said indirect bonding tray disposed on said inspection platform with one or more illumination devices;
- capturing one or more images of said indirect bonding tray disposed on said inspection platform with one or more image capture devices;
- communicatively coupling a processor to a non-transitory computer readable media containing a program code, said program code executed under control of said processor to:
- generate a digital model of said indirect bonding tray based on orthodontic treatment data;
- receive digital images of an indirect bonding tray captured by said one or more image capture devices;
- generate an image model of said indirect bonding tray based on said digital images;
- compare said image model of said indirect bonding tray to said digital model of said indirect bonding tray;
- and
- record variances between said image model of said indirect bonding tray compared to said digital model of said indirect bonding tray.
