Treatment plan generation using collision detection by shape filling

This invention describes a method for creating digital orthodontic treatment plans. It works by first building a precise 3D model of each tooth's surface, specifically by fitting and packing simple 3D shapes into regions of similar curvature on the tooth. Each of these shapes has a core, like a line or flat figure, and a consistent outer radius. Once the teeth are modeled this way, the system can generate different treatment options while digitally checking for collisions between teeth.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of advanced AI for 3D reconstruction and optimization. These tools could now streamline the complex tooth modeling and iterative plan generation steps, making the method more efficient and practical.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, 3D modeling, collision detection system
