摘要： An integrated system is described in which digital image data of a patient, obtained from a variety of image sources, including CT scanner, X-Ray, 2D or 3D scanners and colour photographs, are combined into a common coordinate system to create a virtual three-dimensional patient model. Software tools are provided for manipulating the virtual patient model to simulation changes in position or orientation of craniofacial structures (e.g., jaw or teeth) and simulate their effect on the appearance of the patient. The simulation (which may be pure simulations or may be so-called "morphing" type simulations) enables a comprehensive approach to planning treatment for the patient. In one embodiment, the treatment may encompass orthodontic treatment. Similarly, surgical treatment plans can be created. Data is extracted from the virtual patient model or simulations thereof for purposes of manufacture of customized therapeutic devices for any component of the craniofacial structures, e.g., orthodontic appliances.

摘要： Method and apparatus for registering an object of known predetermined geometry to scanned three dimensional data such that the object's location may be verified. Such a known object may comprise a less than ideal three-dimensional (3-D) digital object such as a tooth, a dental appliance (e.g., as a tooth bracket model) or other like object, including portions thereof. Knowledge of such an object's location is generally helpful in planning orthodontic treatment, particularly where the location of the object needs to be determined or confirmed or where incomplete or poor scan data is obtained. Aspects of the present invention provide methods of effectively verifying dental appliance location and displaying appliance locations using a computer and three-dimensional models of teeth.

摘要： The invention relates to a manufactured orthodontic archwire, made from a wire which, in a relaxed state, has a generally arcuate configuration corresponding to an archform for a particular patient. The manufactured orthodontic archwire comprises a series of straight segments for placement into a slot of a bracket bonded to a tooth of the patient, which are connected to each other by curved segments, comprising bends and/or twists, each forming a precision geometrical relationship between adjacent straight segments of the wire. At least one pair of adjacent straight slot segments are connected to each other by a curved segment comprising a combination of a bend and a twist, which forms a precision geometrical relationship between the adjacent straight segments in the wire. The invention also extends to a robotic wire bending system comprising a bending robot and a robot controller, the bending robot producing a multitude of customized archwires as described above for a multitude of patients.
