VERFAHREN ZUR OPTIMIERUNG BEI KIEFERORTHOPÄDISCHEN ANWENDUNGEN

摘要

A method, executed at least in part by a computer, acquires three- dimensional data from scans of maxillofacial and dental anatomy of a patient and computes cephalometric values from the acquired three-dimensional data. The method processes the computed cephalometric values and generates metrics indicative of tooth positioning along a dental arch of the patient. The generated metrics are analyzed to calculate desired movement vectors for individual teeth within the dental arch. The calculated desired movement vectors are displayed, stored, or transmitted.
