    Abstract: A method for assessing the shape of an orthodontic aligner, said method comprising the following steps: a″) acquisition of at least one image at least partially representing the aligner in a service position in which it is worn by a patient, called “analysis image”; b″) analysis of the analysis image by means of a deep learning device, preferably a neural network, trained by means of a learning base, so as to determine a value for at least one tooth attribute of an “analysis tooth zone” representing, at least partially, a tooth on said analysis image, the tooth attribute relating to a separation between the tooth represented by the analysis tooth zone, and the aligner represented on the analysis image, and/or for an image attribute of the analysis image, the image attribute relating to a separation between at least one tooth represented on the analysis image, and the aligner represented on said analysis image.

    Abstract: A method for modeling a dental arch of a patient. Creation of a historical library including more than 1000 historical tooth models, and assignment, to each historical tooth model, of a value for at least one tooth attribute value. Analysis of at least one analysis image of the dental arch by means of a deep learning device so as to determine at least one analysis tooth zone and at least one tooth attribute value. For each analysis tooth zone determined in the preceding step, search, in the historical library, for a historical tooth model exhibiting a maximal proximity with the analysis image. Arrangement of all of the optimal tooth models so as to create an assembled model which exhibits a maximal proximity. Some optionally steps are possible.

    Abstract: A method of correction of a three-dimensional digital model of an arch of a patient or “reference model.” The method includes the following steps: acquisition of at least one two-dimensional image of the arch, called updated image (Ia1;Ia2), in actual acquisition conditions; search, for each updated image, of virtual acquisition conditions providing a two-dimensional image of the reference model, which maximizes the fit with the updated image, or “reference image” (Ir1;Ir2); comparison of the reference image with the updated image to detect differences; and correction of the reference model to reduce said differences to get a corrected reference model.

    Abstract: A method for predicting a future dental situation for a patient. Acquiring historical data including at least: previous time point and context parameter values. Acquiring at a time point all the data related to the current dental situation, including at least: the current time point, context parameter values at the current time point, statistical analysis of the historical data and the current data, so as to predict, at a future time point, at least one future dental situation for the current patient. Depending on the future dental situation, (re)evaluation of the benefit of an orthodontic treatment. Steps may include creating a three-dimensional digital reference model, acquiring at least one two-dimensional image, analysing each updated image and creation, searching, for each updated image, and collecting data relative to the updated reference model and relative to the orthodontic appliance.

    Abstract: A system for manufacturing an orthodontic appliance. A scanner for creating a numerical three-dimensional initial reference model of at least a part of a patient's arch including one or more teeth. An image acquisition device for acquiring at least one two-dimensional updated image of the arch. The image acquisition device is positioned and oriented in space, relative to the teeth, under actual acquisition conditions. A computer for creating a numerical three-dimensional objective reference model, corresponding to a desired positioning, at a time point of a treatment, of the teeth, and deforming the initial reference model by moving one or more teeth of the initial reference model, to obtain an updated reference model corresponding to the positioning of the teeth on the two-dimensional updated image. A device for manufacturing an orthodontic appliance, based on a comparison, executed by the computer, between the updated reference model and the objective reference model.

    Abstract: A method to acquire dental images of a patient with a support defining a chamber that is in communication with an outside of said chamber via a first opening and via a second opening. The method includes the following steps: fixing a mobile phone in front of the second opening; positioning the first opening in front of a mouth of the patient; and acquiring at least one dental image by means of the mobile phone.

    Abstract: A method for evaluating the shape of an orthodontic aligner worn by a patient. Acquisition of at least one two-dimensional image of teeth of the patient as “updated image.” At least one updated image as “aligner image,” at least partially representing the aligner in a service position. At least one updated image as “dentition image,” representing the teeth. If the dentition image is different from the aligner image, conversion of the dentition image so that it represents the teeth as seen under the acquisition conditions used during the acquisition of the aligner image. Determination, for each of a plurality of teeth represented on the dentition and aligner images, of interior and exterior tooth outlines representing the outline of the free end of the tooth on the dentition and aligner images. Comparison of the interior and exterior tooth outlines, followed by determination of at least one score according to the comparison.
