Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computing device readable media for determining an individualized orthodontic treatment index. One embodiment includes generating a target dental model by modifying an initial dental model, graphically marking dental references on the target dental model including assigning contact points between adjacent first and second teeth of the target dental model, generating a treatment outcome dental model representing the patient's dentition after at least a portion of the orthodontic treatment has been completed, mapping the dental references marked on the target dental model to the treatment outcome dental model, and calculating an individualized treatment index score for the treatment outcome dental model according to one or more differences between the target dental model and the treatment outcome dental model.

Abstract: Methods are provided for regulating tooth movement and for maintaining or improving tissue health using heavy forces. Such methods comprise allowing a heavy force to be exerted on one or more teeth of a patient in need thereof; and administering an effective amount of light to the maxillary or mandibular alveolar bone of the patient, wherein the light is administered before, during, or after the heavy force is exerted. The light can have a wavelength in the range of about 585 nm to about 665 nm, or about 815 nm to about 895 nm. An apparatus useful for providing light therapy is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods of developing and tracking delivery and patient progression through an orthodontic treatment plan. One method includes identifying deviations from an orthodontic treatment plan, including receiving a digital representation of an actual arrangement of a patient's teeth after an orthodontic treatment plan has begun for the patient and prior to completion of the orthodontic treatment plan. The method further includes comparing the actual arrangement to a pre-determined planned arrangement to determine if the actual arrangement substantially deviates from the planned arrangement, the comparing comprising matching teeth from a previously segmented model to a surface of an unsegmented representation of the actual arrangement; and calculating one or more positional differences between the actual and planned arrangements of at least some of the corresponding teeth.

Abstract: Methods for obtaining an adjusted 3D model of patient's teeth based on a 2D image of the patient's teeth. In some examples, the method includes: obtaining a 3D digital model based on a scan of the patient's teeth; obtaining a 2D image based on a camera picture; iteratively comparing a distance between corresponding points on one or more teeth of the 3D digital model and of the 2D image, and generating an adjusted 3D model in which the one or more teeth of the 3D digital model are moved to reduce said distance, wherein iteratively comparing and generating comprises iterating until one or more deviations between the teeth of the 3D digital model and the 2D image are below a threshold.

Abstract: To have convenient and highly precise prediction of the shape of a human body after a treatment by calculation processing.It includes a step of extracting a feature vector Fnew from face data of a patient as an evaluation subject, a step of selecting a plurality of case patients having feature vectors Fpre(i), extracted from the face data of a plurality of previous patients, that have a short distance from the feature vector Fnew, or a step of selecting a similar case class having a cluster center Gpre(l) that has a short distance from the feature vector Fnew, a step of obtaining pre-orthodontic facial shape models Hpre(i) and a post-orthodontic facial shape models Hpost(i) in which the faces of the selected previous case patients before and after a treatment have been normalized, a step of obtaining a facial shape model Hnew in which the face of the patient as an evaluation subject has been normalized, and a step of obtaining a three-dimensional predicted facial shape model Hprd as predicted after orthodontic treatment, by modifying the facial shape model Hnew of the patient as an evaluation subject, using a vector average difference AVEpost−AVEpre between the pre-treatment and post-treatment facial shape models of case patients having a facial shape similar to that of the patient as an evaluation subject.

Abstract: A method and device for reducing oral discomfort in a mouth of a user using high frequency vibration (HFV) includes placing a proximal end of a mouthpiece intraorally into vibrational contact with a dentition of the user, activating a vibration unit so as to deliver vibration at a frequency higher than about 80 Hz to the dentition of the user, and removing the vibration unit after about 5 minutes, wherein oral discomfort is reduced compared to a time before activating the vibration unit.
