Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for 3D imaging to measure the shape of orthodontic aligners, teeth, and other oral structures simultaneously, in-vivo or in-vitro. These methods and apparatuses may be used to determine contact locations of aligners with teeth and/or teeth with other teeth with very high precision, including determining the size of gaps where they are not in contact. These measurements may be used design, modify or replace an aligner and/or to verify aligner fit. 3D models of the whole aligner and teeth may be generated.

Abstract: Methods and systems for analysis of dental attachments. The dental attachments may be used in conjunction with a dental aligner worn by the patient to move the patient's teeth in accordance with a clinical treatment plan. A series of images may be taken while the patient is wearing the dental aligner. The series of images may be analyzed to confirm that the dental attachment(s) are present and bonded on the patient's tooth/teeth. Additionally or alternatively, the series of images may be analyzed to assess an interaction between the dental aligner and the attachment(s) bonded on the patient's tooth/teeth to determine if the attachment(s) have a defect. An indication of the status of the attachment(s) may be output to a user.
