Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring a patient's teeth during orthodontic treatment, which may include the use of a series of appliances according to a corresponding series of treatment stages. The system may include a device in communication with one or more sensors of a first appliance implementing a particular treatment stage. The device may be configured to receive monitoring data corresponding to sensor data captured at the one or more sensors, where the sensor data is associated with at least one parameter related to a change in position or movement of the teeth. The device may further be configured to predict tooth positions or movements based on the sensor data, and compare the predicted tooth positions or movements to expected tooth positions or movements. The device may additionally be configured to determine that the first appliance should be replaced with a second appliance based on the comparison.

Abstract: A method may include obtaining a first 3D model of an upper jaw of a patient using an intraoral scanner and obtaining a second 3D model of the lower jaw of the patient using the intraoral scanner. The method may also include capturing a series of 2D images of the upper and lower jaws of the patient as the patient is moves the upper jaw and lower jaw in dynamic occlusion and processing the captured series of 2D images to identify features associated with the upper jaw of the patient and the lower jaw of the patient. For each 2D image in the captured series of 2D images, the method may include identifying a relative position of the first 3D model and the second 3D model based on alignment of features in the first 3D model and second 3D model with the features identified in the 2D image to generate a series of relative positions of the first 3D model and the second 3D model. The method may also include modeling dynamic occlusion of the upper jaw and the lower jaw of the patient based on the series of relative positions of the first 3D model and the second 3D model.

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: A system for treating food traps may include an intraoral scanner and a processor coupled in electronic communication with the intraoral scanner, a processor, and memory comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the system to carry out a method. The method may include receiving a 3D digital model of a patient's detention and analyzing the 3D digital model of the patient's detention by detecting anatomic structures in the 3D digital model of the patient's detention that correspond to food traps. The 3D digital model of the patient's detention may be displayed on a display and digital feedback may be provided on the displayed 3D digital model of the patient's detention. The feedback may identify a location of the food traps.

Abstract: Method and Apparatuses for monitoring progress of an orthodontic treatment plan and automatically or semi-automatically modifying the orthodontic treatment plan. The orthodontic treatment plan may be monitored by sensors on one or more appliance in the treatment plan, and may be monitored if the sensed data deviates from the expected treatment plan.
