Publication number: 20240099814Abstract: Systems and methods for rapidly and reliably determining an arch width of a patient's dental arch. A three-dimensional (3D) model of a patient's teeth, including a target tooth, can be received. Dental features from the 3D model may be extracted. The dental features may include a point of intersection between an occlusal surface of a tooth and a long axis of the tooth. An arch width between the target tooth and an opposing tooth may be determined based on the extracted dental features.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Svetlana MAKARENKOVA, Ilya AGAFONOV, Boris LIKHTMAN, Pavel SOKOLOV, Vladimir FEDOROV

Patent number: 11877906Abstract: Systems and methods for rapidly and reliably determining an arch with of a patient's dental arch. A first portion of a 3D model of a patient's dentition is identified that corresponds to a first target tooth, the first portion of the 3D model is associated with one or more attributes of the first target tooth. A second portion of the 3D model is identified that corresponds to a second target tooth opposing the first target tooth. The second portion is associated with one or more attributes of the second target tooth. The arch width is automatically measured based on the attributes of the first and second target teeth. A graphic representing the arch width is overlayed on the patient's dentition.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2022Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: Align Technology, Inc.Inventors: Svetlana Makarenkova, Ilya Agafonov, Boris Likhtman, Pavel Sokolov, Vladimir Fedorov

Patent number: 11801121Abstract: Methods and systems for generating composite images of a patient and models of the patient's dentition are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes generating a plurality of 3D models, each comprising a virtual representation of the patient's dentition at different treatment stages of a treatment plan and obtaining an image of the patient's face and dentition. The method can include projecting the obtained image into a 3D space to create a projected 3D model of the patient's face and dentition. The method can also include generating a plurality of modified images, each representing the patient in a treatment stage of the treatment plan and formed by combining the patient's dentition of one of the 3D models with the patient's face of the projected 3D model. A modified image corresponding to a selected treatment stage and a corresponding 3D model can be provided for display.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2022Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Align Technology, Inc.Inventors: Dmitry Mednikov, Svetlana Makarenkova, Pavel Pokotilov, Aleksandr Zhulin, Boris Likhtman
