Publication number: 20240108437Abstract: A system and method for determining a center of resistance of a tooth may include receiving a 3D digital representation of an initial arrangement and a final arrangement of a patient's teeth and determining a 3D treatment plan. The 3D treatment plan may include a plurality of 3D stages for rearranging the teeth from the initial arrangement toward the final arrangement. The method may also include determining, in accordance with the 3D treatment plan, an intended movement of the teeth for each of the stages and deriving, using a 3D resistance model, an applied force system for achieving the intended movement of the teeth for each of the stages. The method may also include deriving 3D geometries of oral appliances for the stages in response to the applied force system. Various other systems and methods are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: ALIGN TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Iman SHOJAEI, Reza SHIRAZI AGHJARI, John Y. MORTON, Vadim MATOV, Eric YAU, Fuming WU, Sergei BRODSKY

Publication number: 20240081950Abstract: A method for digital treatment planning may include defining a set of contact points on a tooth of a patient's dentition and a plurality of connections between pairs of the plurality of contact points. The plurality of connections may include Hookian stiffness parameters of a dental appliance between the plurality of contact points. The method may also include generating a relaxed model of a dental appliance using the plurality of contact points and the plurality of connections. The method may also include generating a deformed model of the dental appliance using the plurality of contact points and plurality of connections. The method may also include transforming the relaxed model to the deformed model to direct the patient dentition towards a target tooth arrangement.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Vadim MATOV, Sergei BRODSKY, Bastien PESENTI, Yuri SYROV, Ping TANG, Manlio Fabio VALDIVIESO CASIQUE, Olga MATUSEVICH, Igor KVASOV
