SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING AN ORTHODONTIC DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS OF A PATIENT

摘要

A system and a method for determining an orthodontic diagnostic analysis of a patient at various dental maturity stages predicts future conditions and/or treatment recommendations. The system and the method locate points in a mouth of a patient using an imaging device wherein the imaging device generates imaging data. The imaging data is transferred to a central processing unit wherein the central processing unit has access to a database having information associated with orthodontic conditions stored therein. The central processing unit obtains measurements associated with selected points and dentition in the mouth of the patient and predicts orthodontic conditions of the patient based upon the measurements and the information in the database. The central processing unit recommends treatments to the patient based upon the predicted orthodontic conditions.

1. A method comprising:
locating points in a mouth of a patient with an imaging device wherein the imaging device locates the points and generates imaging data of the points in the mouth; transferring the imaging data to a central processing unit wherein the central processing unit has access to a database having information associated with orthodontic conditions; obtaining measurements associated with selected points and dentition in the mouth of the patient wherein the central processing unit generates the measurements using the imaging data; predicting orthodontic conditions of the patient based upon the measurements and the information in the database wherein the central processing unit provides predictions based on the imaging data and the information in the database; and recommending treatments to the patient based upon the predicted orthodontic conditions wherein the central processing unit provides recommendations based on the imaging data and the information in the database.
