    Abstract: A method includes to receive, via a computing device, data representing a plurality of teeth, identify data indicating which of the plurality of teeth are unerupted or erupting, predict at least one characteristic of a tooth of the unerupted or erupting teeth after they have fully erupted using one or more tooth eruption prediction factors, generate new data representing the unerupted or erupting teeth in multiple states of eruption based upon the predicted at least one characteristic of the fully erupted teeth, and generate a series of incremental tooth arrangements with the new data to define a proposed orthodontic treatment based on the new data representing the unerupted or erupting teeth in multiple states of eruption.

    Abstract: Embodiments for determining a dental treatment difficulty are described herein. One method embodiment includes receiving an initial and subsequent position of each of a first tooth and a second tooth and calculating a change in position of each of the first tooth and the second tooth. The method embodiment can also include projecting the changes in position of each of the first tooth and the second tooth onto a reference line and calculating a change in position on the reference line for the first tooth and the second tooth. The method embodiment can further include determining the dental treatment difficulty based on the changes in position on the reference line.

    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems for modeling a patient's tooth. The methods may include generating a clinical crown mesh of the patient's tooth, where the clinical crown mesh includes known surfaces of a clinical crown of the patient's tooth. The methods may also include generating a parametric tooth model representing an average of multiple etalon tooth models of the same tooth type as the patient's tooth, where each of the multiple of etalon tooth models is represented by a mesh having a topical equivalence to a sphere and having no self-intersections. The methods may further include fitting the clinical crown mesh with the parametric tooth model to create an interim tooth model, and morphing the interim tooth model to substantially mimic an anatomical shape of the clinical crown mesh.
