Abstract: The present disclosure describes devices, systems, and methods for monitoring use of an oral appliance in an oral cavity using extra-oral sensor(s). One method includes sensing one or more physical properties of an oral appliance using an extra-oral sensor, providing a compliance signal from the extra-oral sensor, the compliance signal including an electronic representation of the one or more physical properties of the oral appliance, identifying one or more patient compliance factors based on the compliance signal, the one or more patient compliance factors providing a basis to identify an extent of compliance of usage of the oral appliance with an orthodontic treatment plan, and providing one or more compliance indicators based on the one or more patient compliance factors, the one or more compliance indicators providing a basis to indicate the extent of compliance.

Abstract: A dental scanning system may include an intraoral scanner and an extraoral imaging device including a color imaging camera couplable in electronic communication with the intraoral scanner. The system may include non-transitory computer readable medium with instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the system to carry out a method. The method may include capturing 2D image data of a patient's face and teeth with the extraoral imaging device, capturing intraoral 3D image data of a dentition of the patient with the intraoral scanner, generating a 3D model of the patient's teeth based on the intraoral 3D image data, and associating the 2D image data of the patient's face with the 3D model.
