Patent number: 12079944Abstract: A mobile device comprises a display, an image capture device that generates image data of a face of a viewer of the display, and a processing device. The processing device receives the image data and sends the image data to a computing device. The computing device processes the image data to identify a position of a dental arch in the image data; determines a treatment outcome for the dental arch; generates a post-treatment image of the dental arch that shows the treatment outcome; generates updated image data comprising a superimposition of the post-treatment image of the dental arch over the received image data; and sends the updated image data to the mobile device. The mobile device outputs the updated image data to the display, wherein the post-treatment image of the dental arch is superimposed over the dental arch in the received image data such that the post-treatment image is visible in the display rather than a true depiction of the dental arch.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2023Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: Align Technology, Inc.Inventors: Pavel Pokotilov, Anton Lapshin, Evgeniy Malashkin, Sergei Ozerov, Yury Slynko, Andrey Sergeevich Nekrasov, Leonid Vyacheslavovich Grechishnikov, Anna Orlova, Yingjie Li, Phillip Thomas Harris, Maurice K.
