  • Computational device for an orthodontic appliance for generating an aesthetic smile
    Patent number: 10143536
    Abstract: A set of rules to design an orthodontic appliance for generating an aesthetic smile is maintained in a computational device, where the set of rules is associated with an application that executes in the computational device. At least one measured value is computed from one or more features extracted by processing dental information of a patient. The application generates a parameter to design an orthodontic appliance based on the at least one measured value and the set of rules for generating the aesthetic smile.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 16, 2016
    Date of Patent: December 4, 2018
    Assignee: Ormco Corporation
    Inventors: Craig A. Andreiko, David M. Sarver
