Publication number: 20230218371Abstract: Methods for generating multiple orthodontic treatment options for a digital 3D model of teeth in malocclusion. The method generates a plurality of different orthodontic treatment plans for the teeth and displays in a user interface the digital 3D model of teeth in malocclusion with a visual indication of each of the plurality of different orthodontic treatment plans. The visual indication of the treatment plans can be overlaid on the digital 3D model of teeth in malocclusion and possibly include aligners, brackets, or a combination of aligners and brackets. A doctor, technician, or other user can then select one of the treatment plans for a particular patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2021Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Alexandra R. Cunliffe, Elisa J. Collins, Guruprasad Somasundaram, Nitsan Ben-Gal Nguyen, Benjamin D. Zimmer, Cody J. Olson

Publication number: 20230190409Abstract: Methods for generating stages for a portion of orthodontic aligner treatment for a digital 3D model of teeth in malocclusion. The methods generate a subset of stages of setups among a complete set of stages of setups for aligner treatment of the teeth. The subset of stages can be selected from a complete set of stages, based upon a target intermediate setup, or sequentially generated from one stage to the next in the subset. Aligners for the subset of stages of setups can then be manufactured without having to make a complete set of aligners. A method to generate a setup for the aligner treatment compares the digital 3D model of teeth in malocclusion to a plurality of setups for historical cases of teeth in malocclusion that have undergone aligner treatment.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2021Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Alexandra R. Cunliffe, Guruprasad Somasundaram, Elisa J. Collins, Nitsan Ben-Gal Nguyen, Benjamin D. Zimmer

Patent number: 11495107Abstract: Example techniques of this disclosure are directed determining one or more values that represent a monitoring attribute for one or more body-worn tracking devices (BWTDs). In some instances, the techniques include determining a compliance metric that represents a level of compliance for at least one offender. That is, the compliance metric may be a quantitative value that represents whether a user wearing BWTD is complying with established rules or desired behaviors.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2021Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: ATTENTI ELECTRONIC MONITORING LTDInventors: Jonathan Dale Gandrud, Nicholas Andrew Asendorf, Deepti Pachauri, Gautam Singh, Guruprasad Somasundaram, Jennifer Frances Schumacher, Nitsan Ben-Gal Nguyen, Robert W.

Publication number: 20220257341Abstract: This disclosure describes a computer-implemented method and system for evaluating, modifying, and determining setups for orthodontic treatment using metrics computed during virtual articulation. The virtual articulation techniques of this disclosure may further be combined with techniques for determining dynamic collision metrics, determining a comfort measurement, determining treatment efficacy, and/or determining dental conditions, such as bruxism. The techniques of this disclosure further include user interface techniques that provide an orthodontist/dentist/technician with information regarding various treatment plans based on metrics gathered during virtual articulation.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2020Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: Guruprasad Somasundaram, Alexandra R.

Publication number: 20220249201Abstract: A method for evaluating intermediate and final setups for orthodontic treatment. The method includes receiving intermediate and final setups, where each setup is a digital representation of a state of teeth at a particular stage of orthodontic treatment. Scores are computed based upon metrics related to at least some of the states represented by the corresponding setups, and the scores provide an indication of a validity of the corresponding states. The metrics along with an indication of the corresponding scores are displayed in a dashboard in order to provide a visual evaluation of the validity of the setups.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2019Publication date: August 11, 2022Inventors: Vera Shuman, Alexandra R. Cunliffe, Guruprasad Somasundaram, Benjamin D. Zimmer, Nitsan Ben-Gal Nguyen

Publication number: 20220160469Abstract: A method for generating and reusing digital setups for an orthodontic treatment path. The method receives a digital 3D model of teeth, optionally performs interproximal reduction on the model, and generates an initial treatment path with stages including an initial, final, and intermediate setups. The method divides the initial treatment path into initial steps of feasible motion of the teeth resulting in a final treatment path with setups corresponding with the initial steps. For a treatment redesign, the method computes new steps of feasible motion for only a portion of the initial treatment path and based upon the initial steps, and generates the final treatment path with new setups corresponding with the new steps. The setups can be used to make orthodontic appliances, such as clear tray aligners.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2020Publication date: May 26, 2022Inventors: Alexandra R. Cunliffe, Guruprasad Somasundaram, Benjamin D. Zimmer, Nitsan Ben-Gal Nguyen, Vera Shuman, Nancy M. Amato, Shawna L. Thomas

Publication number: 20220061959Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices, and systems using speech recognition in a dental procedure. The method can include receiving, by a computing device, voice input data that specifies dental information for a patient. The method can also include analyzing, by the computing device, the voice input data to process the dental information. Based on the identified dental treatment information, the method can include generating, by the computing device, one or more custom dental prescriptions for the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2019Publication date: March 3, 2022Inventors: Nitsan Ben-Gal Nguyen, Guruprasad Somasundaram, Alexandra R.

Publication number: 20210259808Abstract: An automated method for generating a final setup for orthodontic treatment. The method includes receiving a digital 3D model of teeth in an initial state. The method computes a scoring function based upon metrics related to the initial state to generate a corresponding score, perturbs the state of the teeth through translations and rotations of a tooth or set of teeth to generate a perturbed state of the teeth, and updates the state of the teeth based upon the score and the perturbed state of the teeth to generate one or more final setups representing a final state of the teeth after the orthodontic treatment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2019Publication date: August 26, 2021Inventors: Nitsan Ben-Gal Nguyen, Benjamin D.
