Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems are disclosed for simulating a tooth whitening procedure. The simulation may generally obtain a patient's two-dimensional or three-dimensional dental scan and color space convert color information from a first or native color space to a color space based on an International Commission on Illumination color space (CIELAB). The simulation may include modifying color information in the CIELAB color space then returning the modified color information to the native color space.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for dental image analysis including determining pixel sizes of an image. A pixel size enables conversion of a two-dimension image-based measurement into a 3D measurement. The pixel sizes vary over the image due to differences in distance between the camera taking the image and the object of interest. A three-dimensional model may be registering to the two-dimension image, and the pixel sizes may be identified on a per-object (e.g., per-tooth) basis, per-region basis or at each point in the image. The pixel size scaling may be used to identify features in the image for diagnostic or other dental application purposes.

Abstract: Systems and methods of simulating dental treatments are disclosed. A method may include capturing a first 2D image of a patient's face, including the patient's teeth, building a parametric 3D model of the patient's teeth based on the 2D image, developing a simulated outcome of a dental treatment of the patient's teeth by rendering the 3D model with the patient's teeth in one or more positions and/or orientations corresponding to the treatment goals of the dental treatment plan, and rendering a second 2D image of the patient's face with teeth according to a simulated outcome of the dental treatment plan. As noted herein, the dental treatment plan may include orthodontic and/or restorative elements. The simulated outcome may correspond to estimated outcomes and/or intended outcomes of the dental treatment plan.

Abstract: Provided herein are orthodontic systems and methods for automatically segmenting a person's teeth. Systems, methods and processes are provided to properly segment the teeth of a person's teeth from an image of the person's face showing at least some of the person's teeth (e.g., dental arch). Methods and systems are provided to automatically detect dental edges after a dental scan. Also described herein are methods and systems for generating a simulated image of the person's face from the final segmentation of the person's teeth in which the segmented teeth have been moved from their original position, including a new position based on an orthodontic treatment plan.

Abstract: Systems and methods of simulating dental treatments are disclosed. A method may include capturing a first 2D image of a patient's face, including the patient's teeth, building a parametric 3D model of the patient's teeth and gingiva based on the first 2D image, developing a simulated outcome of a dental treatment of the patient's teeth by rendering the parametric 3D model with the patient's teeth in one or more positions and/or orientations corresponding to the treatment goals of the dental treatment plan, and rendering a second 2D image of the patient's face with gingiva and teeth according to a simulated outcome of the dental treatment plan.

The simulated outcome may correspond to estimated outcomes and/or intended outcomes of the dental treatment plan.

Abstract: Various apparatuses are disclosed (e.g., system, device, method, or the like) for guiding the capture and assessing the quality of an image, including dental images. The apparatuses may use trained neural networks to examine images and provide users feedback regarding image quality. The neural networks may be trained based on images within image groups that have been ranked based on perceived image quality.
