  • Publication number: 20230132126
    Abstract: Systems and methods for planning a treatment for a patient's teeth are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving an image of a patient's face and determining a plurality of facial lines using the image of the patient's face. The plurality of facial lines can represent a target smile for the patient. The method can further include outputting a visualization including the plurality of facial lines overlaid onto a composite image. The composite image can include the image of the patient's face combined with a digital model of the patient's teeth. The digital model can represent a tooth arrangement of a treatment plan to adjust the patient's teeth from an initial arrangement toward a target tooth arrangement corresponding to the target smile.

  • Patent number: 10997727
    Abstract: A machine learning model is trained to define bounding shapes around teeth in images. The machine learning model is trained by receiving a training dataset comprising a plurality of images, each image of the plurality of images comprising a face and a provided bounding shape around teeth in the image. The training dataset is input into an untrained machine learning model. The untrained machine learning model is trained based on the training dataset to generate a trained machine learning model that defines bounding shapes around teeth in images, wherein for an input image the trained machine learning model is to output a mask that defines a bounding shape around teeth of the input image, wherein the mask indicates, for each pixel of the input image, whether that pixel is inside of a defined bounding shape or is outside of the defined bounding shape.
