    Abstract: A method for evaluating an orthodontic appliance. Acquisition of a two-dimensional “appliance image” of teeth at least partially representing the orthodontic appliance in a service position. Acquisition of a two-dimensional “dentition image” of the teeth. If a determination of comparable dental and appliance attributes is not possible from the appliance image and from the dentition image, respectively, conversion of the appliance image and/or of the dentition image so that the appliance image be compatible with the dentition image. Determination of dental and appliance attributes relative to the shape of the tooth represented on the dentition image and relative to the shape of the orthodontic appliance on the appliance image. Comparison of the dental and appliance attributes, followed by determination of at least one score. At least one image is acquired with a mobile phone.

    Abstract: A method for acquiring an image of a dental arch of a patient. Activation of an image acquisition apparatus so as to acquire an analysis image of the arch. Analysis of the analysis image by a deep learning device trained by a learning base. Determination, for the analysis image, as a function of the results of the analysis, of a value for an image attribute. Comparison of the image attribute value with a setpoint. Sending of an information message as a function of the comparison, the information message being related to the quality of the image acquired and/or to the position of the acquisition apparatus in relation to said arch and/or to the setting of the acquisition apparatus and/or to the opening of the mouth and/or to the wearing of a dental appliance.

    Abstract: A method for enriching a learning base intended for the training of a deep learning device. Production of an updated reference model of a dental arch and segmentation to produce a tooth model for each tooth. Acquisition of at least one updated image of the arch. For each updated image, search for virtual acquisition conditions suitable for an acquisition of a reference image of the updated reference model exhibiting a maximum match with the updated image, and acquisition of the reference image. Identification, in the reference image, of at least one reference tooth zone representing a tooth model by comparison of the updated image and the reference image determination of an updated tooth zone representing the tooth model. Assignment, to the updated tooth zone, of the tooth attribute value or values of the tooth model. Addition of the updated image enriched with value or values in the learning base.

    Abstract: A method for analyzing a real dental situation of a patient. The method includes steps, as follows, in succession. At an updated instant, acquisition of an updated image representing a real dental scene as observed by an operator. Determination of a virtual dental scene as a function of the representation of the real dental scene on the updated image. Presentation of the virtual dental scene in transparent mode and overlaid on the real dental scene, or display of the updated image on a screen and presentation of the virtual dental scene overlaid with the representation of the real dental scene on the updated image displayed on the screen, in transparent mode or not on the representation.
