Publication number: 20230329845Abstract: A processing device of a system makes a comparison between a current image of an oral cavity of a patient and one or more previously received images of the oral cavity of the patient, the current image and the one or more previously received images having been generated by an intraoral scanner. The processing device determines an amount of overlap between a current field of view of the intraoral scanner and topography scans of the oral cavity based on the comparison. The processing device outputs a warning indicator associated with a positioning of the current field of view of the intraoral scanner responsive to determining that the amount of overlap fails to meet or exceed an overlap threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventor: Adi Levin

Patent number: 11672631Abstract: A method comprises obtaining reference data about a 3D calibration object, the reference data comprising known coordinates for a plurality of points on the object, and obtaining measurement data comprising measurements for the plurality of points on the object, the measurement data having been generated based on scanning of the object by an uncalibrated intraoral scanner. The method comprises comparing the measurement data to the reference data to determine differences therebetween and applying the determined differences between the measurement data and the reference data for the plurality of points to a function to generate a compensation model that compensates for one or more inaccuracies of the intraoral scanner. The compensation model is then stored, wherein the compensation model causes the intraoral scanner to be a calibrated intraoral scanner and is usable to correct measurement errors of the intraoral scanner caused by the one or more inaccuracies of the intraoral scanner.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2022Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Align Technology, Inc.Inventors: Tal Verker, Adi Levin, Ofer Saphier, Maayan Moshe
