IDENTIFYING FORCES ON A TOOTH

摘要

The present disclosure includes computing device related, systems, and methods for identifying force placed on a tooth are described herein. One method includes receiving initial orthodontic data (IOD) including teeth data; creating a virtual set of teeth from the IOD; receiving dental appliance information including at least one of dental appliance material properties and characteristics; virtually placing a dental appliance, formed from the dental appliance information, onto the virtual set of teeth; and determining one or more forces applied to the teeth based on information from the IOD and dental appliance information.

主权项

1. A computing device implemented method of virtually identifying and testing force applied to teeth, comprising:
determining a target virtual dental model for an initial virtual dental model that is based on initial orthodontic data (IOD) of teeth; generating a treatment plan including a segmented path for teeth from the initial virtual dental model to the target virtual dental model, each segment having a corresponding dental appliance to move the teeth to a subsequent segment; virtually identifying and testing force applied to the teeth by a particular dental appliance of the treatment plan, wherein the particular dental appliance is formed from dental appliance information including at least one of dental appliance material properties and characteristics; and determining a resulting configuration of the teeth based on the virtual identifying and testing.
