Appl. No.:

17/020550

Inventors:

- San Jose CA, US
Chao SHI - Morrisville NC, US

International Classification:

A61C 7/00
G16H 50/50
A61C 9/00

Abstract:

Systems and methods of simulating dental treatments are disclosed. A method may include capturing a first 2D image of a patient's face, including the patient's teeth, building a parametric 3D model of the patient's teeth based on the 2D image, developing a simulated outcome of a dental treatment of the patient's teeth by rendering the 3D model with the patient's teeth in one or more positions and/or orientations corresponding to the treatment goals of the dental treatment plan, and rendering a second 2D image of the patient's face with teeth according to a simulated outcome of the dental treatment plan. As noted herein, the dental treatment plan may include orthodontic and/or restorative elements. The simulated outcome may correspond to estimated outcomes and/or intended outcomes of the dental treatment plan.

International Classification:

A61C 7/00
A61B 5/11
A61B 5/00
A61C 19/04
A61C 7/08

Abstract:

Method and Apparatuses for monitoring progress of an orthodontic treatment plan and automatically or semi-automatically modifying the orthodontic treatment plan. The orthodontic treatment plan may be monitored by sensors on one or more appliance in the treatment plan, and may be monitored if the sensed data deviates from the expected treatment plan.
