IMAGING APPARATUS FOR DISPLAY OF MAXILLARY AND MANDIBULAR ARCHES

摘要

A method for displaying patient′s teeth generates a three-dimensional model of the patient′s teeth and displays the generated three-dimensional model. A displayed image shows a cross-sectional view of the teeth according to the position of a cutting plane extending through the three-dimensional model. The relative model position of the cutting plane is adjustable according to an operator′s instruction. The orientation of the displayed cross-sectional view is determined by the position of the cutting plane. [Reference numerals] (S120) Generate and display a virtual model; (S130) Control a cutting plane; (S140) Display dominant occlusal images (upper jaw, lower jaw)
