Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing orthodontic treatment methods struggle to visually and concretely display which problem items are being solved and at what points in time they are resolved, especially when multiple complex issues are addressed simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A device and method that utilize a reception module to obtain current tooth positions, process expected orthodontic models, and display a solution situation graphic showing the progression of problem solving through movement and rotation of teeth, using a problem solving table to determine and visualize the items being solved.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple complex orthodontic problems are resolved simultaneously during treatment, then treatment effectiveness is improved, but it becomes difficult to identify and track the solving status of individual problem items
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the overall orthodontic treatment into multiple discrete problem items (e.g., crowding, spacing, bite issues). Each problem item is independently tracked and visualized in the UI, allowing clinicians to monitor the solving status of each segment separately while managing multiple problems simultaneously. This segmentation enables clear identification of which specific problems are being addressed and their current resolution status.
2Manufacturing precision
If the positions of teeth are continuously updated during treatment, then treatment precision is improved, but it becomes challenging to visualize which problem items are being solved and when
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism that continuously compares current tooth positions with expected positions and automatically updates the problem solving status accordingly. The system provides visual feedback showing which problem items are currently being solved based on real-time position data, eliminating the need for manual tracking and ensuring that problem solving information is always current and accurate.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary computational layer that processes the complex relationship between tooth position changes and problem solving status. This intermediary system automatically determines which problem items are being solved by analyzing position updates against predefined problem criteria, translating raw position data into meaningful problem solving information without requiring direct manual intervention.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a detailed problem solving table with multiple problem items and solving methods is maintained, then treatment comprehensiveness is improved, but the complexity of tracking and displaying solving status increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing different levels of detail in different parts of the interface. The problem solving table maintains comprehensive information about all problem items and their solving methods, while the visual display selectively highlights only the currently active problem being solved. This allows the system to store comprehensive data without requiring the entire dataset to be displayed at once, reducing perceived complexity while maintaining completeness.
