Abstract: A system for correcting class III malocclusions is disclosed. The system may include a maxilla appliance having tooth receiving cavities shaped to receive teeth of the maxilla and a first coupling for receiving an elastic. The system may also include a mandibular appliance having tooth receiving cavities shaped to receive teeth of the mandible. In some embodiments, the system includes a class III corrective appliance having a first mount shaped to engage with the mandibular arch of the patient and having a second coupling shaped to receive the elastic.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, computing device readable medium, and devices for dental appliances with repositioning jaw elements. An example of a method can include moving at least one tooth with a dental appliance having a first shell configured to receive a plurality of teeth of a patient's upper dentition and separating an upper dentition of a patient from a lower dentition of the patient utilizing the dental appliance. The dental appliance may interface a first surface of a first repositioning jaw element of the first shell with a second surface of a second repositioning jaw element of a second shell of the dental appliance. The dental appliance separates occlusal surfaces of the plurality of teeth of the patient's upper dentition from occlusal surfaces of the plurality of teeth of the patient's lower dentition as the patient moves to a fully engaged sagittal jaw position.

Abstract: The current document is directed to methods and systems for monitoring a dental patient's progress during a course of treatment. A three-dimensional model of the expected positions of the patient's teeth can be projected, in time, from a three-dimensional model of the patient's teeth prepared prior to beginning the treatment. A digital camera is used to take one or more two-dimensional photographs of the patient's teeth, which are input to a monitoring system. The monitoring system determines virtual-camera parameters for each two-dimensional input image with respect to the time-projected three-dimensional model, uses the determined virtual-camera parameters to generate two-dimensional images from the three-dimensional model, and then compares each input photograph to the corresponding generated two-dimensional image in order to determine how closely the three-dimensional arrangement of the patient's teeth corresponds to the time-projected three-dimensional arrangement.

Abstract: A system for treating food traps may include an intraoral scanner and a processor coupled in electronic communication with the intraoral scanner, a processor, and memory comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the system to carry out a method. The method may include receiving a 3D digital model of a patient's detention and analyzing the 3D digital model of the patient's detention by detecting anatomic structures in the 3D digital model of the patient's detention that correspond to food traps. The 3D digital model of the patient's detention may be displayed on a display and digital feedback may be provided on the displayed 3D digital model of the patient's detention. The feedback may identify a location of the food traps.

Abstract: A dental appliance may include a first plurality of tooth receiving cavities for anterior teeth and a first plurality of attachment receiving cavities shaped to impart a first plurality of forces and a first counter moment to the anterior teeth, the first plurality of forces being to direct at least one tooth in a posterior direction. The dental appliance may include a second plurality of tooth receiving cavities for posterior teeth and a second plurality of attachment receiving cavities to impart a second plurality of forces and a second counter moment the posterior teeth, the second counter moment being in a direction opposing the first counter moment. At least a portion of the second plurality of forces may be configured to oppose the first plurality of forces. The first counter moment and the second counter moment may be configured to be coupled to form a differential moment.

Abstract: Orthodontic and/or dental treatment planning methods and apparatuses. In particular, described herein are methods of generating a plurality of potential treatment plan variations for the concurrent and interactive review of the treatment plan variations. Each variation may be optimized to best address the user's treatment goals, as well as approximating as closely as possible an ideal or target final position. Also described herein are orthodontic and/or dental treatment planning methods and apparatuses that allow a user to form, modify, and select a treatment plan from a plurality of different treatment plans, in real time.
