    Abstract: Systems and methods of generating an orthodontic model are disclosed. The method may include: generating an initial model of a patient dentition; generating a target model of the patient dentition; defining a plurality of caps and a plurality of links, wherein each link connects two of the plurality of caps; generating a relaxed model of a dental appliance from the plurality of caps and the plurality of links; generating a deformed model of a dental appliance from the plurality of caps and plurality of links; and determining a plurality of movements, wherein the plurality of moments transform the relaxed model to the deformed model and wherein the moments are configured to direct the patient dentition from the initial model to the target model.

    Abstract: A method includes to receive, via a computing device, data representing a plurality of teeth, identify data indicating which of the plurality of teeth are unerupted or erupting, predict at least one characteristic of a tooth of the unerupted or erupting teeth after they have fully erupted using one or more tooth eruption prediction factors, generate new data representing the unerupted or erupting teeth in multiple states of eruption based upon the predicted at least one characteristic of the fully erupted teeth, and generate a series of incremental tooth arrangements with the new data to define a proposed orthodontic treatment based on the new data representing the unerupted or erupting teeth in multiple states of eruption.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for dental treatment are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving a plurality of treatment stages for repositioning a patient's teeth from an initial tooth arrangement toward a target tooth arrangement, where each treatment stage is associated with a target position for a tooth of the patient. The method can include determining, for one or more treatment stages, an overcorrected movement corresponding to an overcorrected position for the tooth that is different from the target position, where at least some of the one or more treatment stages include different magnitudes of overcorrected movements. The method can further include outputting fabrication instructions for one or more dental appliances corresponding to the one or more treatment stages, each dental appliance including an overcorrected tooth receiving cavity corresponding to the overcorrected position for the respective treatment stage.
