Abstract

System and method for automatic construction of the tooth's axes in terms of three orthogonal unit vectors are disclosed. Three dimensional data for a tooth is used to automatically construct the tooth's axes. System and methods for automatic construction of the axes for different types of teeth such as incisors, canines, premolars, and molars are disclosed.

Description

[0001] Cross-reference of related patent applications [0002] This patent application claims the priority and benefits of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 826,714 filed on September 22, 2006, entitled "System and Method for Automatically Constructing Dental Shafts". Technical field [0003] The present invention generally relates to the technical field of orthodontics, and in particular, the present invention relates to a system and method for automatically constructing a dental axis based on three orthogonal unit vectors. Background technique [0004] One purpose of orthodontics is to move the patient's teeth to a position where the teeth function best and are also aesthetically pleasing. Orthodontists install traditional appliances such as braces and wires on the teeth of patients. Once the braces are installed on the teeth, they exert a continuous force on the teeth and gradually push the teeth to their ideal positions. The orthodontist achieves this by adjusting the...
