Abstract: The invention discloses a computer-implemented method for determining at least one removable orthodontic appliance. The method comprises obtaining a digital impression of at least part of a dentition of a patient; obtaining, based on the digital impression, at least one characteristic relating to at least one tooth; comparing the at least one characteristic with corresponding characteristics associated with a set of predefined removable orthodontic appliances; and determining at least one suitable removable orthodontic appliance among the set of predefined, removable orthodontic appliances based on the comparison.

Abstract: The invention discloses a solution for generating transformation matrices associated with upper and lower: dental arches. A digital impression of the upper and lower dental arches, or a first digital impression of the upper dental arch and a second digital impression of the lower dental arch is obtained, and a digital three-dimensional model comprising the upper and lower dental arches, or a first digital three-dimensional model comprising the upper dental arch and a second digital three-dimensional model comprising the lower dental arch is/are generated based on the digital impression(s). The digital three-dimensional model(s) is/are output to produce separate physical three-dimensional models of the upper and lower dental arches. Scanning data associated with a desired target occlusion is obtained, the desired target occlusion being obtained based on a desired mutual position of the physical three-dimensional models of the upper and lower dental arches.
