Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for orthodontic treatment planning. A treatment plan may be for a patient's teeth and for a specific dental professional. A set of combined treatment preferences may include a first set of rules converted from a set of textual instructions from the specified dental professional into a domain-specific language specific to the specified dental professional. The textual instructions may include unscripted instructions. A second set of rules may be converted from a set of scripted instructions from the specified dental professional. The scripted instructions may include responses from a script of predefined choices. An orthodontic treatment plan may be generated for the patient's teeth using the set of combined treatment preferences and a digital model of the patient's teeth.

Abstract: Method of manufacturing a series of aligners for an orthodontic and/or dental treatment of a patient's teeth. In particular, described herein are methods of manufacturing a series of aligners that includes displaying images of the patient's teeth at the final stages for a subset of the treatment plans from the array of treatment plans in a manner that allows the user to select between the different treatment plans in order to select a treatment plan for fabrication.

Abstract: Orthodontic and/or dental treatment planning methods and apparatuses. In particular, described herein are methods of generating a plurality of orthodontic treatment plans digitally using a hierarchy of bounding boxes enclosing the plurality of 3D shapes to avoid collisions during treatment.

Abstract: Orthodontic and/or dental treatment planning methods and apparatuses. In particular, described herein are methods of generating a plurality of potential treatment plan variations for the concurrent and interactive review of the treatment plan variations. Each variation may be optimized to best address the user's treatment goals, as well as approximating as closely as possible an ideal or target final position. Also described herein are orthodontic and/or dental treatment planning methods and apparatuses that allow a user to form, modify, and select a treatment plan from a plurality of different treatment plans, in real time.

Abstract: The device comprises a single circular row of permanent magnetic poles and a circular row of electromagnets, magnetic-force-conducting elements of which have central polar part and two lateral polar parts connected to the central polar part and spaced from opposing (in the direction which is essentially perpendicular to the rotation axis) sides of the central polar part. Winding is situated upon central polar part. The part of winding positioned between the polar parts of the magnetic-force-conducting element is more than half the length of the whole winding. Central polar part may have at least one groove. The distance between the centers of adjacent polar surfaces of the magnetic-force-conducting element is set depending on the angle between the magnetic poles in the circular row. The angular dimension of the polar surface of the lateral polar part depends on the angular dimension of the polar surface of the central polar part.
