Abstract: Orthodontic systems and related methods are disclosed for designing and providing improved or more effective tooth moving systems for eliciting a desired tooth movement and/or repositioning teeth into a desired arrangement. Methods and orthodontic systems include the generation of an overcorrection in the tooth-receiving cavities of an appliance worn in the dentition. The overcorrection may provide an improved and more accurately applied force or moment applied to a tooth. The overcorrected force or moment can move a tooth closer to a desired position than if not overcorrected as sufficient force can still applied to the tooth as it gets closer to the desired position. The overcorrected force or moment may also better target the root of the tooth where the biological response to tooth movement occurs. The overcorrection may be calculated in various ways as described herein.

Abstract: A support is coupled to an appliance to decrease warpage. The support may comprise a plurality of extensions coupled to the appliance to decrease warpage. The extensions can be coupled to the appliance at one or more of many locations, such as on an occlusal surface, a wall, an edge or an interior of the appliance. In some embodiments, the extensions are coupled to walls of the appliance such as a buccal wall and a lingual wall, and the extensions can be coupled to the walls of the appliance near edges of the walls, such as a gingivally facing edges of the walls that are oriented toward the gingiva when the appliance is worn.

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.

Abstract: Methods and systems for taking images of a patient's teeth for tracking a progress of an orthodontic procedure. The methods and systems include a mobile device holder with one or more adjustable stops for providing a compressive force on a mobile device placed therein; a cheek retractor coupled to the mobile device holder; and a user interface on the mobile device indicating whether the mobile device holder is in a correct position relative to the patient's teeth as the mobile device holder is moved while the cheek retractor engages a cheek of the patient to expose the patient's teeth, while taking one or more visual images of the exposed teeth using a camera of the mobile device.

Abstract translation: 公开了正畸系统和相关方法，用于设计和提供改进的或更有效的牙齿移动系统，用于引起期望的牙齿运动和/或将牙齿重新定位成期望的布置。 方法和正畸系统包括在佩戴在牙列中的器具的牙齿接收腔中产生过矫正。 过矫正可以提供改进并且更准确地施加到牙齿上的力或力矩。 过度校正的力或力矩可以将齿移动到比未被过度校正的情况下更接近于所需位置，因为当其越接近所需位置时，足够的力仍能施加到牙齿上。 过度校正的力或力矩也可以更好地瞄准牙齿的根部，其中发生对牙齿运动的生物反应。 过矫正可以以如本文所述的各种方式计算。

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, computing device readable medium, devices, and systems that utilize a cheek retractor and/or a mobile device holder for case assessment and/or dental treatments. One cheek retractor includes a first and a second lip holder, both including imaging markers of a predetermined size to determine a scale of teeth of a user, where each imaging marker is located a predefined distance from the remaining imaging markers, and where the lip holder is to hold a cheek away from a mouth of a user to expose teeth of the user. A mobile device holder can include elements to receive a mobile device to capture images of the patient's teeth.
