Abstract: Dental treatment can be provided by a system that overlays a treatment template on a patient's arch in mixed reality, enabling a practitioner to view a schematic of the dental treatment while administering the treatment itself. The system employs a physical guide which includes stabilizing pieces to hold the guide steady with respect to the area of the arch where treatment is being administered. When the physical guide is scanned, a virtual guide is produced, in relation to which the treatment template can be defined. When the physical guide is installed on the patient, the virtual guide is aligned with the physical guide, thus aligning the template with the physical arch. With the physical guide firmly in place, the guides provide abundant feature points for reliable alignment which can be maintained even while practitioners and patient's readjust their positioning throughout a treatment, or in situations where the oral anatomy may not be visible to a mixed reality device.

Abstract: Methods and systems of the present disclosure are directed to providing dental treatment utilizing a mixed reality device. A patient's physical arch is scanned to produce a virtual arch that is then rendered in a computing environment for analysis and manipulation. Virtual targets, e.g., brackets, implants, etc., and/or a grid, are applied to the virtual arch to produce a virtual dental treatment template. The virtual dental treatment template is rendered in the mixed reality device and aligned the template with the physical arch of the patient in the mixed reality device. A practitioner is thus provided with this template and the patient within the same field of view, so that installation of dental apparatus can be simply a matter of aligning physical dental apparatus with the corresponding virtual dental apparatus.
