  • Method for producing an aligner
    Patent number: 11357599
    Abstract: A method for producing an aligner for teeth of a patient, the method including initially capturing a virtual current model of the teeth with a current position of the teeth: segmenting the teeth in the virtual current model and interpolating interdental surfaces of the teeth; generating a virtual nominal model of the teeth including undercut portions from the virtual current model; automatically determining the undercut portions in the virtual nominal model; automatically removing all surface elements that are associated with the undercuts from the virtual nominal model; subsequently closing gaps in the virtual nominal model created by removing the surface elements wherein closing the gaps is performed by interpolation for blocking out; automatically blocking out the undercut portions in the virtual nominal model to produce a blocked out virtual nominal model; producing a real model of the teeth based on the blocked out virtual nominal model; applying a synthetic material foil to the real model by a deep draw
    Type: Grant
