Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems for designing oral appliances. These methods and systems may include receiving patient data and a treatment plan (including a proposed one or more dental appliances), and determining, using the patient data and the treatment plan, an improved appliance design for treating the patient. These methods and systems may include evaluating the appliance design based on simulation and finalizing the appliance design based on the evaluation.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for generating ortho-restorative treatment plans and orthodontic aligners. The ortho-restorative treatment plan may include prescribed movements of one or more teeth to correct mal-positioned teeth while accounting for planned restorative treatments on a patient's dentition. The methods may include forming a virtual target dentition model having a target restorative feature, and one or more virtual intermediate dentition models having one or more intermediate restorative features having a different shape and/or size as the target restorative feature. The methods may be used generate a series of aligners in accordance with the ortho-restorative treatment plan.

Abstract: A method for use in additively manufacturing an orthodontic aligner may include receiving a digital model of an aligner, processing the digital model of the aligner to modify the digital model based on predicted deviations during fabrication to generate a first updated digital model of the aligner, determining that whether the predicted deviations of a physical aligner additively manufactured based on the first updated digital model of the aligner are acceptable, and outputting the first updated digital model of the aligner for fabrication of the physical aligner by additive manufacture of the physical aligner.

Abstract: The disclosure provides resins, polymeric materials, and devices incorporating force probes. Advantageously, the force probes emit an emission useful for determining the amount of force or stress applied to a material incorporated with force probes. Further, the present disclosure provides methods of detecting forces and stress applied to force probe incorporated materials. Materials such as orthodontic appliances comprising force probes possess particular advantage and utility as measurement of the emission of the orthodontic appliance(s) from a patient can aid in evaluating treatment progress.

Abstract: A dental attachment placement device comprises a plurality of articulated registration elements shaped for placement on a plurality of teeth, which can facilitate placement, accommodate tooth movement, and improve alignment of the registration elements with the teeth, so as to accurately position an attachment for placement. An orthodontic device may include a plurally of registration element. A plurality of first flexible arms may extend from each registration element on a lingual side. The first flexible arm may have a connected end and a distal end. The distal end may be configured to extend at least part way over the tooth and apply a lingual force to bias the registration element against the tooth. A plurality of attachment supports may each be located on a buccal side of the plurally of registration elements and include an attachment frame that is releasably coupled to an attachment.
