Publication number: 20240028178Abstract: Orthodontic devices such as aligners, palatal expanders, retainers, and dental implants can be used to adjust the position of teeth and to treat various dental irregularities. To help the clinician or doctor (i.e., orthodontist) design and plan the subject's treatment plan, a 3D digital model of the subject's teeth, dentition, and gingiva can be constructed from a 3D scan of the subject's mouth, teeth, dentition, and gingiva. The 3D model of the subject's teeth and dentition can be displayed graphically to the doctor on a display using a computing system with memory and software.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Svetlana MAKARENKOVA, Artem KUANBEKOV, Aleksandr ZHULIN, Boris LIKHTMAN, Vladimir GRENADEROV

Patent number: 11801121Abstract: Methods and systems for generating composite images of a patient and models of the patient's dentition are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes generating a plurality of 3D models, each comprising a virtual representation of the patient's dentition at different treatment stages of a treatment plan and obtaining an image of the patient's face and dentition. The method can include projecting the obtained image into a 3D space to create a projected 3D model of the patient's face and dentition. The method can also include generating a plurality of modified images, each representing the patient in a treatment stage of the treatment plan and formed by combining the patient's dentition of one of the 3D models with the patient's face of the projected 3D model. A modified image corresponding to a selected treatment stage and a corresponding 3D model can be provided for display.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2022Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Align Technology, Inc.Inventors: Dmitry Mednikov, Svetlana Makarenkova, Pavel Pokotilov, Aleksandr Zhulin, Boris Likhtman

Publication number: 20230098845Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating a virtual depiction of an orthodontic treatment of a patient is disclosed herein. The computer-implemented method may involve gathering a three-dimensional (3D) model modeling the patient's dentition at a specific treatment stage of an orthodontic treatment plan. An image of the patient's face and dentition may be gathered. A first set of reference points modeled on the 3D model of the patient's dentition and a second set of reference points represented on the dentition of the image of the patient may be received. The image of the patient's dentition may be projected into a 3D space to create a projected 3D model of the image of the patient's dentition. Based on a comparison of the first reference points and projections of the second set of reference points, a plurality of modified images of the patient may be constructed to depict progressive stages of a treatment plan.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Dmitry Mednikov, Svetlana Makarenkova, Pavel Pokotilov, Aleksandr Zhulin, Boris Likhtman
