A system, apparatus and computer-implemented method for arranging a computer model of teeth. According to one implementation, the method includes generating an archform representing an arrangement of teeth; placing a plurality of teeth according to the archform; determining a differential distance between each tooth and its neighbors; and moving each tooth according to the differential distance. According to one implementation, the system includes a processor; a display device coupled to the processor; and a data storage device coupled to the processor, the data storage device storing instructions operable to cause the processor to: generate an archform representing an arrangement of teeth; place a plurality of teeth according to the archform; determine a differential distance between each tooth and its neighbors; move each tooth according to the differential distance; and repeat the determining and moving steps according to a function of at least one of the differential distances when the sum of differential distances for the plurality of teeth exceeds a predetermined threshold. |
