Abstract: Providing a color score for a user's teeth using a smart-phone is presented. The phone includes an application electronically stored therein and accessed using the user interface screen. To acquire the score the app prompts the user to turn the phone upside down and enter a darkened room, then it illuminate a portion of the display to provide illumination of a set color temperature. Then, using the camera function, graphical enhancements and prompts provided by the application, an image of the user's face and specifically their exposed front teeth is acquired. The application prompts the user to outline an area of their teeth in the image to acquire a pixel count area. The area is sent to an external server where the area is analyzed and a color score calculated. The color score is sent back to the phone for display.

Abstract: A method and system are presented for measuring the whiteness of teeth. This is accomplished by analyzing an average pixel value of teeth taken from a digital image. The pixel value is mathematically standardized to create an indicator that quantifies teeth whiteness. This eliminates subjectivity in measuring teeth whiteness and permits precise communication of the level of teeth whiteness.
