Abstract: Orthodontic and/or dental treatment planning methods and apparatuses. In particular, described herein are methods of generating a plurality of potential treatment plan variations for the concurrent and interactive review of the treatment plan variations. Each variation may be optimized to best address the user's treatment goals, as well as approximating as closely as possible an ideal or target final position. Also described herein are orthodontic and/or dental treatment planning methods and apparatuses that allow a user to form, modify, and select a treatment plan from a plurality of different treatment plans, in real time.

Abstract: Methods and systems for comparing dental treatment plans are provided, including: obtaining a first 2D image of a patient's face and dentition; accessing a plurality of 3D models of the patient's dentition, where each 3D model represents a treatment result for a respective dental treatment plan of a plurality of dental treatment plans for the patient; generating a plurality of second 2D images of the patient, where each second 2D image is formed by combining a respective 3D model of the patient's dentition with a projected representation of the patient's face, and where the projected representation is generated by projecting the first 2D image into a 3D space; sending instructions to display the plurality of second 2D images of the patient on an output device; and receiving a user input selecting at least one dental treatment plan of the plurality of dental treatment plans associated with the displayed second 2D images.

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.

Abstract: Orthodontic devices such as aligners, palatal expanders, retainers, and dental implants can be used to adjust the position of teeth and to treat various dental irregularities. To help the clinician or doctor (i.e., orthodontist) design and plan the subject's treatment plan, a 3D digital model of the subject's teeth, dentition, and gingiva can be constructed from a 3D scan of the subject's mouth, teeth, dentition, and gingiva. The 3D model of the subject's teeth and dentition can be displayed graphically to the doctor on a display using a computing system with memory and software.

Abstract: Method, systems, and devices including: accessing a 3D model including a virtual representation of a patient's dentition at a treatment stage of an orthodontic treatment plan; obtaining an image of the patient's face and at least a portion of the patient's dentition; projecting the obtained image into a 3D space to create a projection of the patient's face and the at least the portion of the patient's dentition; generating a modified image of the patient representing the patient in the treatment stage of the orthodontic treatment plan, where the modified image is formed by combining the patient's dentition of the accessed 3D model with the patient's face of the projection; and sending instructions to display the modified image of the patient on an output device.
