Abstract: Provided herein are methods and apparatuses for analyzing a patient's dental arches in order to generate a treatment plan for the dentition. In particular described herein are methods and apparatuses for analyzing a patient's dental arches when the patient is missing one or more teeth. Methods and apparatuses are provided to properly number the teeth of a patient's arches after a dental scan, including automatically detect missing teeth after a dental scan and estimating the dimensions of the missing teeth. Methods and apparatuses are provided to perform an analysis of the patient's arches that uses the estimated dimensions of the missing teeth. Methods and apparatuses for designing and manufacturing the aligner are also provided.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for adjusting three-dimensional (3D) dental model data of a patient's dentition to detect and remove one or more attachments on a dental structure (e.g., tooth) of the patient's dentition. These methods and apparatuses may be used for generating treatment plans for treating the patient's teeth, including for more accurately and efficiently aligning the patient's teeth.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating a virtual depiction of an orthodontic treatment of a patient is disclosed herein. The computer-implemented method may involve gathering a three-dimensional (3D) model modeling the patient's dentition at a specific treatment stage of an orthodontic treatment plan. An image of the patient's face and dentition may be gathered. A first set of reference points modeled on the 3D model of the patient's dentition and a second set of reference points represented on the dentition of the image of the patient may be received. The image of the patient's dentition may be projected into a 3D space to create a projected 3D model of the image of the patient's dentition. Based on a comparison of the first reference points and projections of the second set of reference points, a plurality of modified images of the patient may be constructed to depict progressive stages of a treatment plan.
