Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to capturing a 3-dimensional representation of a patient's face from multiple angles to be integrated with (fused) with at least a 3-dimensional intra-oral mesh of the patient's teeth for purposes of visualizing a dental treatment plan. In one aspect, a method includes capturing media of a patient's face from multiple angles, using at least one device; transforming the media into a 3-dimensional representation of the patient's face; and transmitting, the 3-dimensional representation of the patient's face to one or more processing components to be integrated with a 3-dimensional representation of the patient's intra-oral scan to visualize a dental treatment plan for the patient.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining first data of a dental arch having one or more first properties. The method further includes processing the first data using one or more trained machine learning models. The one or more trained machine learning models generate a dimensionally reduced representation of the dental arch based on the first data. The one or more trained machine learning models generate second data of the dental arch that has one or more second properties. The method further includes obtaining, from the one or more trained machine learning models, the second data of the dental arch that has the one or more second properties. The second data is based on the dimensionally reduced representation. The one or more second properties are different from the one or more first properties. The method further includes causing a representation of the dental arch to be displayed based on the second data.
