    Abstract: A method for evaluating, by computer, at an “updated” time, the conformity of an orthodontic aligner with a dental arch of a patient, referred to as the “support arch.” The method includes the following successive steps: A) producing a digital three-dimensional model of the support arch in its configuration at the updated time, or an “updated reference model”, and determining from the updated reference model, a support surface for the aligner; B) deforming the support surface on the basis of the geometry of the aligner in order to obtain a deformed support surface; C) comparing an external surface of the aligner with the deformed support surface, then determining, on the basis of the comparison, at least one score for the conformity of the aligner with the support arch.

    Abstract: A method of determining an optimal switchover moment for a hybrid orthodontic treatment of teeth. Creation of a digital three-dimensional model of at least part of a dental arch. Deformation of the initial reference model until the tooth models are in a target position. Acquisition of at least one two-dimensional image of the teeth. Deformation of the initial reference model until the at least one updated image corresponds to the initial reference model. Determination, from the updated reference model and from said target reference model, of a plurality of remaining-treatments for moving the teeth from their position represented in the updated reference model into their position represented in the target reference model. Determination of a profile including at least one value for an evaluation parameter. Evaluation of each profile by an evaluation rule. Determination the profile of which is optimal for replacing an orthodontic appliance with an aligner.

    Abstract: A method for modeling a dental arch of a patient. Creation of a historical library including more than 1000 historical tooth models, and assignment, to each historical tooth model, of a value for at least one tooth attribute value. Analysis of at least one analysis image of the dental arch by means of a deep learning device so as to determine at least one analysis tooth zone and at least one tooth attribute value. For each analysis tooth zone determined in the preceding step, search, in the historical library, for a historical tooth model exhibiting a maximal proximity with the analysis image. Arrangement of all of the optimal tooth models so as to create an assembled model which exhibits a maximal proximity Some optionally steps are possible.
