Abstract: Systems and methods for prioritization of three dimensional dental elements. The systems and methods may include displaying a perspective of a 3D digital model such that a portion of a second object is behind a first object, where the first object has a higher priority than the second object. The portion of the second object behind the first object may not be viewable through the first object and a reference point on the portion of the second object may not be selectable. The priority may be changed such that the second object has a higher priority than the first object, where once the priority is changed, that the portion of the second object behind the first object may be viewable through the first object and the reference point on the second object is selectable by the user.

Abstract: Orthodontic assessment system for treatment planning. Orthodontic assessment may include categorizing a patient's dentition based on predetermined types of malocclusions in a number of orthodontic dimensions. The data is organized in matrices with addresses that characterize aspects of the patient's dentition and that may be used to query the database. In some examples, the one or more treatment goals may be incorporated with data regarding the patient's dentition to generate combined addresses.

Abstract: Various methods and systems for designing a restored smile are provided. One method includes receiving scan data of a patient's teeth, developing a digital model of the patient's teeth via a computing device, where the model represents the patient's teeth based upon the scan data, creating a dental treatment plan to restore one or more teeth from an initial condition to a successive condition, and wherein a final condition of the one or more is based on the one or more teeth having at least one planned additional restorative tooth structure provided therewith.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides computing device implemented methods, computing device readable medium, and molds for filling undercut areas of teeth relative to an axis of placement. Filling undercut areas of teeth relative to an axis of placement can include calculating an undercut area of a tooth relative to an axis of placement of part of a dental appliance over a number of teeth and a height of contour that is defined based on the axis of placement. Filling undercut areas of teeth relative to an axis of placement can also include filling in a part of the undercut area of the tooth with a virtual filler wherein the undercut is filled to within a threshold distance from the tooth that is defined relative to the axis of placement and the height of contour.
