The application is divisional application, and it is 2009 that original bill application, which is application No. is PCT/US2009/032335, the applying date,
29 days 01 month PCT application and entered National Phase in China on 09 20th, 2010, application No. is 200980109983.X,
Entitled " method and system for optimizing dental aligner geometry ".
Technical field
The present invention relates to computer correction art and dentist's arts.
Background technique
In the treatment of correction art, patient teeth is moved to final position from initial position using various utensils.Utensil
To tooth applied force, one or multiple teeth or the suitable position for holding it in treatment stage are moved whereby.
The movement of correction art is caused because of the one-one relationship between tooth position and utensil, and mechanism is: by tooth " crowded "
It at new shape and is held in place, thus tooth is allowed to have time enough to adapt to new position and then secondary repetition this process,
The different treatment stage teeth for the treatment of plan can be moved gradually.
In one-one relationship between current treatment status and succeeding target or n+1 treatment stage, dental instrument is fitted
It should may include the reciprocation between plastic cement and geometric shapes of teeth, the reciprocation is for realizing n+1 tooth position not most
It is good and the reciprocation is not included in the considering of the one-one relationship usually.For biggish tooth moving distance, especially
It is in this way, the deflection of utensil can lead to stretching and stress in utensil in the case of larger tooth moving distance, therefore,
Some regions of rectifier are not nearly contacted with the key area of tooth and/or desirable region.Therefore, it is impossible to by tooth
It is moved to desirable target position.In addition, tooth may be contacted for reaching desirable or target position there is also reverse effect
Generate counteractive region.
In addition, dentistry attachment is mainly used for changing the geometry of corona, to ensure preferably to hold toilet article, such as along desirable
The rectifier in mobile direction.In general, this waits attachmentes to provide " protrusion " or " undercut " in the vertical surface of tooth,
Otherwise toilet article are difficult to hold tooth.
Realize tooth desirable movement existing method include: during the current location or the position n for the treatment of stage, according to
The next position or the position n+1 of plan manufacture toilet article and place it on tooth.Typically, it will be assumed that, toilet article or
If (it is the tooth because being positioned for the tooth position of toilet article production with toilet article for power caused by the deformation of its stem portion and torque
Difference between the position of tooth and caused by) tooth can be caused to be moved in next planning location in treatment stage.
However, in practice, dentistry attachment no matter whether is used in the treatment, the orientation of generated power and torque all may be used
It can be not along the direction of set tooth movement.In addition, can come only for corona without considering root of the tooth or other anatomical structures
Sequencing configures current tooth movement.It is mobile that root of the tooth or other anatomical structures can hinder corona, and makes the centre of draft
Downwards in dentale slot.In general, what is formed by the power for acting on corona may to the non-advantageous torque of the centre of draft
It can not balance easily.In addition, the deformation of toilet article is gradually reduced, so that being applied as the tooth during therapeutic process is mobile
Power also with decrease.
Summary of the invention
In one embodiment, provided method and apparatus include: the initial position of established tooth;Determine that tooth is being treated
Target position in the works;It calculates and the mobile associated motion-vector of the tooth from initial position to target position;Determining pair
It should be in the associated multiple components of motion-vector;And determine one or more accordingly attached devices relative to tooth table plane
One or more corresponding positions, so that the one or more attaches device and is meshed with toilet article.
Attachment used herein can be any type of material that may be attached to tooth, or the pre- shape using template
At, or it is pre-formed with amorphous form, it is attached to the surface of tooth.Binding material can be used that the attachment is set to tooth table
On face, or it can be set on dental surface using binding material itself as attachment.

Specific embodiment
Now, three-dimensional orthodontic treatment plan tool (among other things, such as AlignTechnology, the software of Inc. or can
The other software bought from eModels and OrthoCAD) make it possible numerical digit treatment plan.These technologies allow clinical
Doctor uses actual patient dentition as the starting point of custom treatment plan.On August 21st, 1 the U.S. proposed
Institute in patent application serial no 10/640,439 and on August 22nd, the 2002 U.S. patent application case serial numbers 10/225,889 proposed
The original numerical digit treatment plan discussed, the software technology bought from Align Technology company are using the number for being directed to patient
Bit model formulates treatment plan, then scans realized treatment results or actual treatment results carry out " controlling for assessment result
Treat success ".The problems of numerical digit treatment plan and outcome evaluation are data redundancies, and are lacked with individual patient water
The standard and effective method of flat assessment treatment Degree of Success.Information is analyzed using dentistry data digging system.
Figure 1A shows an illustrative dentistry data digging system.Within the system, dental treatment data set and number of results
It is stored in database or information bank 2 according to collection 1.Data mining software 3 extracts data, thus generates result 4.Data mining software
It can inquire the information for capturing and/or updating in database 2, and can produce related to patient's odontopathy and toilet article solution
Output stream.Note that is most beneficially, can be using the output of data mining software as subsequent input with self-reflection side
Formula is fed at least database and data mining relevance algorithms.
The data digging system of Figure 1A the result is that for define utensil configuration or define utensil configuration change, with gradually
Ground moving teeth.Mobile tooth is usually movement associated with orthodontic treatment, including all translation of three orthogonal directions, tooth
Tooth center line along two orthogonal directions rotation (wherein rotation axis is perpendicular to vertical center line) (" root angulation " and " torque "), with
And tooth center line is along the rotation (its central axes is parallel to vertical center line) (" pure rotation ") in correction direction.
In one embodiment, it the data digging system capture movement of 3-D treatment plan, initial position and finally realizes
Tooth position.The system compares result with plan, and any treatment method can be used to realize this as a result, the treatment methods such as this
It include: that removable utensil and fixed utensil (such as orthodontic brackets and steel wire) or even other dental treatments (are tied as will be realized
Fruit carries out correction operation, periodontal disease therapeutic and restorative treatment compared with plan).
In one embodiment, tooth overlapping tool is the treatment archives to match each tooth dental arch scanning.It refines and sweeps
It retouches (subsequent progress) to overlap on preliminary sweep, to reach matching based on anatomical dental structure and toothholder mark system.In two teeth
After tooth matching in bow, superimposition facilities need reference to connect arcus dentalis superior and inferior dental arch.When selection option " system
When meter filtering ", overlapping tool measures the amount of movement of each tooth by such as under type: first removing amount of movement as reference and is greater than mark
Quasi- deviation and the tooth for being higher or lower than whole tooth rolling average amounts is mobile (by the position between current generation and previous stage
Difference determines).Then, remaining tooth is selected to measure the movement of each tooth as reference.
Figure 1B shows the performance evaluation of one or more toilet article.In scatter diagram, relative to " target " it is mobile draw out institute "
The movement of realization ", and generate Trendline.Display " distribution " figure is in figure to demonstrate the position of " distribution " data point, and generates trend
Line is to show the performances of toilet article.In one embodiment, Trendline is selected as linear trend (it can be curve);In this way, trend
Line is the best-fitting straight line of all " distribution " data.The performance of rectifier is expressed as the slope of Trendline.Y intercept is simulation
The accidental movement occurred when wear corrective device.Predictability is measured by R2, and R2 is by " realization " data and " mesh
The recurrence of mark " data is calculated and is obtained.
Fig. 1 C shows various mobile model data used in a data digging system embodiment.Exemplary data collection covers
Lid: expansion/contraction (+/- X translation), it is close in/it is remote in (+/- Y translation), push (- Z translation), protrude (+Z translation), toppling over/at
Angle (X rotation), torque/inclination (Y rotation) and pure rotation (Z rotation).
Fig. 1 D shows the performance evaluation of one or more toilet article.For type of sports shown in Fig. 1 D, the fortune realized
Dynamic is about the 85% of the target movement of the specific set of data.
As significantly shown in Fig. 1 D, at all multistages, actual tooth is mobile generally all to lag behind target tooth
It is mobile.In the case of being treated by the polymer utensil of concatenation, this kind lag plays an important role in treatment design,
This is difference due to both tooth movement and negative results (discomfort of patient) are certain to the difference with difference degree.
In one embodiment, by the statistic bias for considering target tooth position Yu actual teeth position, such as step 170
Clinical parameter in (Fig. 2A) and step 232 (Fig. 2 B) is just more accurate.For example, not realized sufficiently since current target is mobile
Calculating probability it is very big, therefore subsequent mobile target can be reduced, thus cause the subsequent movement stage that need to complete as previous stage
Set workload.Similarly, target movement may especially surmount desired locations in previous stage, so that expected practical shifting
It is dynamic more preferably to be controlled.The embodiment sacrifice minimizes the target for moving back and forth the time, realizes target end stage to exchange for
As a result high probability.This method is reached in treatment plan for the groups of several similar patient cases.
Table 1 shows the tooth grouping in an embodiment.The mobile notation convention of tooth is indicated in table 2.In table 3 selected by demonstration
The different dental of 60 dental arch is mobile, and wherein performance is with sort in descending order.Utensil performance can be divided into 4 individual group: height (79-
85%) it, is averaged (60-68%), lower than average (52-55%) and insufficient (24-47%).Table 4 shows mobile predictability
Ranking.Predictability is divided into 3 groups: high predictability (0.76-0.82), predictability (0.43-0.63) and unpredictability
(0.10-0.30).For specific data set, for example, result of study is as follows:
Front tooth pushes and labial teeth pushes performance as high-performance.The range that front tooth pushes is about 1.7mm, and the model that labial teeth pushes
Enclose about 1.7mm.These movement predictabilitys are high.
Canine tooth pushing, front tooth torque, front tooth rotation and labial teeth torque performance are average behavior.Canine tooth push range be about
1.3mm, the range of front tooth torque are about 34 degree, and the range of front tooth rotation is about 69 degree, and the range of labial teeth torque is about 34 degree.
This is equal mobile or is predictable, or is high predictive.
During bicuspid is toppled over, bicuspid is close, molar rotates and backteeth spreading performance is lower than average.Double pointed axiomesial range
About 1 millimeter, the range that bicuspid is toppled over is about 19 degree, and the range of molar rotation is about 27 degree, and the range of backteeth expansion is about
It is 2.8 millimeters.It is unpredictable movement that bicuspid, which is toppled in close with bicuspid, and remaining is predictable movement.
Labial teeth and front tooth be prominent, knuckle-tooth and bicuspid rotation, during canine tooth is toppled over, molar is remote and backteeth torque performance is not
Sufficient performance.Labial teeth range outstanding is about 1.7 millimeters, and front tooth range outstanding is about 1.5mm, and the range of knuckle-tooth rotation is about 67
The range of degree, bicuspid rotation is about 63 degree, and the range that canine tooth is toppled over is about 26 degree, and the range during molar is remote is about 2 millimeters, and
The range of backteeth torque is about 43 degree.In addition to bicuspid rotation is predictable mobile (but its performance generated is lower), own
The grade movement is all unpredictable movement.

It in one embodiment, can maintenance data driving analyzer.The grade data driven analysis device may include a variety of models, such as
Parameter statistical model, nonparametric statistics model, cluster models, closest model, homing method and (artificial) mind of engineering design
Through network.Before operation, data driven analysis device or model are established using one or more training dialogue.To this etc.
The data that analyzer or model are established in reply are commonly known as training data.Due to being by the mode for only checking training example
To develop data driven analysis device, thus the accuracy and for selecting to influence data driven analysis device of training data significantly
Practise speed.The mode used before a kind of can generate the independent data set referred to as the test set of training goal.The test set
With the overfitting to avoid model or analysis and training data.Overfitting refers to that analyzer excessively stores training data, with
Cause the invisible data that can not be fitted or classify in it.Typically, during the construction of analyzer or model, test set pair is utilized
The performance of analyzer is tested.Repeatedly implement the selection of analyzer or model parameter, until analyzer to test set into
Until the performance that row sorts out aspect reaches Best Point.At this point, training process is completed.As using replacing for stand-alone training and test set
For the method that scheme is using referred to as cross validation.Cross validation is available to determine parameter value for coefficient analyser, or is non-ginseng
Number analyzer determines model.In cross validation, a training dataset is selected.Next, by repetitive process to point
Parser submits the different piece of the training data as test set, thus establishes multiple and different analyzer or model.Then, base
In all models or the composite behaviour of analyzer, parameter or model structure are determined.According to cross validation method, normally, use
Determining best model structure is again trained analyzer or model with data.
In one embodiment, data mining software 3 (Figure 1A) can be number of the crawl for index on database 2 (Figure 1A)
According to " spider " or " crawler ".In one embodiment, implement group operation with the mode in detection data.In another embodiment
In, each mode is recognized using neural network, this be because of neural network in terms of recognizing dental treatment mode have it is very strong
Strong property.Once treatment feature is characterized, then neural network will be known to the dentistry information of input and neural network identifier
The storage template for treating vocabulary compares.Among other things, model is recognized can include: concealed markov model
(Hidden Markov Model, HMM), dynamic programming model, neural network, fuzzy logic or template matcher.This etc.
Model can be used alone or can be used in combination.
M " frame " (frame) all possible paths via N number of point are contemplated in dynamic programming, to reach from any
To the transition of any point j of any point i to next frame k+1 of framing k, specified cost need to be paid.Since current point is to next
The optimal path of point ends at the minimum in the path of j (k+l) always independently of the event occurred other than the point, thus via i (k)
Body cost [i (k), j (k+l)] is that the cost of its own transition adds the cost towards the shortest path of i (k).Preferably, it can incite somebody to action
Precursor path values are stored in M N array, and accumulative cost can be stored in 2 × N array so as to comprising previous possible
Adjacent column and accumulative cost when forefront.However, this method needs comparable computing resource.
Dynamic programming requires huge calculation amount.To find identifier between frame sequence and nodal analysis method sequence most
Good time alignment must be referred to multiple nodal analysis methods and most of frames be compared.Calculating needed for reducing dynamic programming
A kind of method of amount is using trimming.If the local probability value of the comparison is lower than given threshold value, trimming can be terminated referring to given
It treats model and dynamic programming is carried out to the given part of dental treatment information.This will greatly reduce calculating.
Concealed markov model is considered to be the general of dynamic programming and summarizes, and in a preferred embodiment, use is hidden
Concealed markov model come evaluate observation sequence O (1), O (2) ..., O (t) ..., the probability of happening of O (T), wherein each observation O
It (t) can be for according to the discrete symbols of VQ method or can be vector row.It can be lower part Marko husband by the model foundation of observation sequence
The probability function of chain (it has the indirect status transition observed).
In the preferred embodiment, using markov model, to establish the model of the probability for the treatment of observation sequence.Between state
Transition indicated by transition matrix A=[a (i, j)].The each single item a (i, j) of transition matrix is to be in state i in the model
The probability to the transition of state j is realized under situation.The output symbol probability of the model by collection of functions B=[b (j)] indicate, wherein
The item b (j) of output symbol matrix is in the case of model is in state j to return to output observation O when designated value O (t) evaluation
(t) function of probability.The first state is confined to the original state of the first time frame of Markov chain always, only extremely by a left side
The regulation collection of right status transition is feasible.The definition of scheduled end-state can not be occurred to the transition of other states.
In one embodiment, transition is limited to re-enter one of state or entry into lower two states.This was waited
It crosses and is defined as transition probability in a model.For example, the current treatment mode with the characteristic signal frame in state 2 is again defeated
The probability for entering state 2 is a (2,2), and the probability of input state 3 is a (2,3), and the probability of input state 4 is a (2,4)=l-a
(2,2)-a(2,3).The probability a (2, l) of the input state 1 or probability a (2,5) of input state 5 is 0, and probability a (2, l) to a
(2,5) and be 1.Although flow chart is limited to current state or is limited to lower two states by preferred embodiment, it is familiar with this
Operator can still limit establish HMM model by more flexible transition, but the whole of the transition from the generation of any state is general
Rate and still be 1.
In each state j of model, current signature frame can be identified by one of predefined output symbol concentration, or
It is marked in a probabilistic manner.In this case, it is O that output symbol probability b (j) (O (t)), which corresponds to characteristic frame symbol,
(t) probability that model is assigned.The arrangement of model is matrix A=[a (i, j)] and calculating B=[b (j) (O of transition probability
(t)) technology].
In one embodiment, markov model forms the mode for reference by multiple training mode sequences, and exports symbol
Number probability is multivariate Gaussian function probability density.Dental treatment information is transferred through feature extractor.During study, obtained
Feature vector tandem handled by parameter estimator, the output of the parameter estimator is provided to concealed markov model.It hides
Formula markov model to reference pattern template set, each template representative referring to treatment mode word finder in an identification
Mode.Next, using markov model referring to template, based on by the generation observation of each markov model reference pattern template
Probability, in one that observation sequence is referred in reference pattern.During identification, then can by unknown pattern-recognition be
The highest reference pattern of probability in possibility calculator.
HMM template has multiple states, and each state all has a discrete value.However, since treatment mode feature can
With the dynamic mode in contrast to single value, thus in one embodiment, neural network is added at the front end of HMM can be with
Dynamic value indicates each state.The input layer of neural network includes input neuron.In the output distribution to middle layer of input layer
All neurons.Similarly, the output of middle layer is distributed to all output neurons, the inside of the equal output neurons and HMM
State corresponds.However, each output all has relative to its own or relative to the probability that other are exported, therefore is formed and repaired
The HMM changed.The each state for the HMM being consequently formed all can be in response to specific Dynamic Signal, thus obtains more strong
HMM.Alternately, neural network can be used alone, without seeking help from the transition probability of HMM framework.
The output stream or result 4 of Figure 1A is used as feedback, thus improves the use of the design and/or doctor of toilet article to toilet article.
For example, data mining results can be used to evaluate performance based on interim method, to be referred to based on treatment method to utensil performance
Number compares, and thus compares different attachment shapes and position on tooth to evaluate performance.
It, thus can be due to can be for huge treatment results cohort studies for specific effect and properties of product of tooth
The comparison of statistically significant is made between two or more case groups.If the Liang Ge group studied is in treatment method, device
Tool design or manufacture agreement aspect have differences, then data export the difference side of being attributable in terms of properties of product presented
Method, design or manufacture agreement.The final result is a kind of feedback mechanism, and clinician or manufacturer is enabled to be based on sample
The quite huge performance data of size, using objectively can metric data come optimizing product design and use.
Orthodontic treatment theory does not reach unified understanding, and the limit of actual therapeutic and result by additional uncertain factor
System, the uncertain factors such as this are that the measurement of patient's parameter and the relationship for the patient's parameter not measured and patient follow degree not
Together.Therefore, the treatment plan that different clinicians may be preferably different for a patient.Therefore, a treatment plan can
Can it not received by all clinicians, this is because without " correct " treatment plan for the unified receiving of owner.
By for clinician preference customization treatment parameter, next several embodiments may achieve clinician and
The more preferably satisfaction of patient.The system is by with the treatment history of statistical observation clinician, thus probing therapeutic preference
The difference of aspect.For example, clinician can implement a possibility that bicuspid is pulled out can not in the case of tooth is relatively crowded
Together.Even if, still can be to other predictive variables (as when not having the abundant record about the passing treatment of given clinician
Manage position, variable relevant to training or practise medicine experience and property) implement cluster, with the significance difference of statistical process treatment parameter
It is different.
Data mining can find that different clinicians are directed to the statistically significant that can compare the different treatment results of patient's realization
Mode.For example, the patient's case of cluster together can systematically be reduced concurrently relative to without using the clinician of Clustering
Disease.The species diversity that Data Mining Tools are detected can be used as feeding back to the label of more insufficient clinicians of experience that practise medicine,
And also act as the label that the treatment difference that it is used is implored to the veteran clinician that practises medicine.
In one embodiment, Clustering is used cooperatively with the case being previously completed, with to complication and result into
Row classification.Then, risk probability model is established in each group.Then, the similitude based on variable before treating, by new case
It distributes to identical group.Then, the risk in each patient group after the completion for the treatment of is used cooperatively with new case, with pre-
Survey the risk for the treatment of results and complication.Then, high-risk patient is marked to cause to pay special attention to, possibly includes controlling
Treat additional step in the works or additional clinical interference.
In another embodiment, practitioner's cluster is grouped according to the clinical treatment preference of observation, and is adjusted in each group
Section treatment parameter is more nearly to meet observed treatment preference.Then, based on the group with known treatment history
Known variables similitude assigns the practitioner of not observation history at several groups.
Fig. 1 E shows the exemplary process for cluster practice.Firstly, history pair of the process based on clinician treatment
Treatment, which is practiced, carries out cluster (20) (as treated preference, result and demographic variable and practicing variable).Next, the system is built
The vertical model (22) about the preferred clinical constraints in each group.Next, the system is based on demographic variable and practice
The clinician of no treatment history is assigned to the group (24) in 20 by variable.In one embodiment, which is directed to
The clinical constraints (26) of group independent implementation process 100 (A referring to fig. 2) in each group.In addition, the system can be with arrival
New treatment data and result data and update group and group assigns (28).
Fig. 1 F shows that data digging system generates another embodiment of recommended therapy.Firstly, the system is based on detailed tracking
Data, diagnosis, treatment parameter and result and demographic variable, identification/cluster have detailed tracking (such as multiple high-res
Scanning) patient history (40).In each group, which is established about commitment positions and the reality by tracking data acquisition
The model (42) of difference between position.In addition, the system establishes the risk model about special non-undesirable result in each group
(44).At the second layer of cluster, it is based on obtainable variable, cluster has the patient history of less detailed tracking data.The
Two layers of cluster has enough localities, thus each of greater number of second layer group can be assigned in 40
The group of calculating is regarded as new group (46).The system is by the addition record of the group from step 46 to step 42
Model refined (48).It can also refine to the model of step 44 by the addition record of the group from step 48
(50).At the third layer of cluster, then, which is based on diagnosis, demographics and initial physical inspection and assigns new patient
To the group (52) of step 46.In the group of each step 52, which is established about between commitment positions and physical location
It is expected that the model (54) of difference.From step 54, the system (232 including Fig. 2 B and 250) use at correlation is corrected
Desired location information (67).In addition, the system is established about non-undesirable result risk model in the group of each step 52
(56).From step 56, the system is also to paying particular attention to and the case of clinical constraints is (such as the 204 and 160 of Fig. 2 B and 2A
In) marked (69).Then, the treatment plan (58) of the custom group for each step 52 of the process.Next, this is
System repeatedly collects data (61), and datacycle is back to identification/cluster patient history (40).In addition, can be carried out to group
Correct and be reassigned (63).The system also continuously identifies the group without good image, to carry out additional tracking point
It analyses (65).
In clinical treatment environment, is all obtained in tooth mobile possible each stage or handle the data of high-res simultaneously
Non- cost-effective way.Such as:
Patient may use several utensils in each clinical medical period.
Some given patient may only provide one group of dental impressions.
The problem of radiation, may limit the number using CT or X-ray scanning.
The detailed spatial information of every tooth when the typically no time report of clinician is about each go to a doctor.
It is limited due to these and other, it is necessary to which treatment plan is designed based on local message.
In one embodiment, special by making patient and collection have the prediction between the representative sample of detailed tracking information
Sign matches, the information that thus generally approximate expression is lost.In this case, estimated undesirable treatment results are based on, to trouble
Person is marked to request tracking information, and additional dental impressions group is such as collected and analyzed.Then, using the information of acquisition with essence
Change patient group and is then assigned to patient's treatment of group.
In general, scanning patient data using above-mentioned data digging system and analyzing data.The system proposes
About the suggestion for the treatment of plan, ratify for dentistry practitioner.Dentistry practitioner is subjected to treatment plan or request to treatment plan
It modifies.Once treatment plan is given the ratification, can start to manufacture utensil.
The generality process of Fig. 2A diagrammatic illustration process 100, process 100 is to define and generate reset utensil, with right
Patient carries out orthodontic treatment.Process 100 includes the method that will be described, and process 100 is suitable for the device of the invention.Favorably
Ground, the calculating step of the process are implemented as commonly using the computer program modules executed on numerical digit computer in one or more.
As initial step, mould or the scanning (110) of patient teeth or mouth tissue are first obtained.The step relates generally to pair
Patient teeth and gum carry out modulus, and additionally or as another selection, can be related to wax sting, direct contact type scanning, x-ray at
Picture, tomography, ultrasonic imaging and for obtaining position and machine about tooth, jaw, gum and other correction linked groups
The other technologies of structure information.Derive digit data collection by the data obtained with this, the digit data collection represent patient teeth and
The initial arrangement (that is, arrangement before treatment) of its hetero-organization.
The initial digit data set is handled to be segmented (step 120) each other to each organizational composition, this is initial
Digit data collection may include the data two of the initial data from scanning operation and the surface model as derived from the initial data
Person.Specifically, in this step, making the data structure of each corona of digit representation.Advantageously make the number of whole pair of tooth
Bit model, including measurement or supposition hidden face and root knot structure and surrounding skeleton and soft tissue.
The desirable final position (that is, orthodontic treatment desirable and set final result) of tooth can be sentenced by clinician
The form of side receives, and can be calculated and be obtained by basic correction principle, or can speculate (step by clinical prescription with calculation
130).By the specification about the desirable final position of tooth and the digital image of tooth itself, each tooth may specify most
Final position set with morphology (step 140), to form complete tooth model at the desirable end (end) for the treatment of.One
As for, specify the position of every tooth in this step.The step the result is that digit data structure collection, the digit data knot
The modeled tooth of structure set representations is relative to the correction proper reset for assuming stabilizing tissue.Both the tooth and tissue are all expressed as
Digit data.
After having the initial position and final position of every tooth, next, the process will define every teeth training
Tooth paths.In one embodiment, global optimization is carried out to tooth paths, so that tooth is minimum with the most fast and amount of moving back and forth
Mode it is mobile, to take tooth to its desirable final position from its initial position.(move back and forth is that tooth is closed along direction
Any movement of any direction other than meaning final position.Sometimes, it is necessary to tooth can be allowed to move each other by moving back and forth
It is dynamic.) tooth paths are segmented.The grade sections are calculated, so that each teeth training in section all keeps online
Within the scope of the threshold limit of mild-natured shifting and rotational translation.By this method, the endpoint of each path-segments, which all may make up, clinically may be used
Capable reset, and the summation of section endpoint constitutes clinically feasible sequence of tooth positions, so that from one in sequence
Point not will lead to the collision of tooth to the movement of next point.
In one embodiment, by the preset value of the property based on utensil to be used, to linear and rotational translation
Threshold limit is initialized.The data for patient can be used to calculate more particularly customized limiting value.Also utensil can be based on
The result of calculating updates limiting value (step 170, being described later on), and utensil calculating can determine that along one or more teeth
At the one or more points in path, utensil can be generated having the power in configuration to cannot achieve one or more after tooth and tissue
Reset representated by a tooth paths section.By the information, the subprocess for defining segmented paths (step 150) can be recalculated
Path or affected subpath.
In each stage of the process, and more particularly, in segmented paths are defined after, the process can with and general meeting
With clinician's reciprocation (step 160) of responsible patient treatment.It can be used and be programmed to receive tooth position and model
Client process and routing information from servo computer or servo progress (wherein constructing other steps of process 100)
To construct the reciprocation of clinician.Advantageously, client process program, which turns to, allows clinician display position and path
Animation, and allow clinician reset one or more teeth final position and the specified pact that will be applied to segmented paths
Beam.If clinician makes these any changes, the subprocess (step 150) for defining segmented paths can be again carried out.
Segmented tooth paths and associated tooth position data be to calculate clinically receive utensil configuration (or
The variation in succession of utensil configuration), utensil configuration will move in the step specified by path-segments along the treatment path of definition
Dynamic tooth (step 170).Each utensil configuration represents the step that path is treated along patient.This is defined
And calculate, so that each discrete location can then realize straight line tooth on the basis of the tooth position of previous discrete step realization
Tooth movement or simple rotation, and so that reset amount needed for each step is related to the correction optimal force acted in patient's dentition
Amount.As path definition step, the utensil calculate step also may include reciprocation and even include and clinician into
Capable repeated interaction acts on (step 160).The operation for constructing the process steps 200 of the step hereafter will be more fully described by.
After utensil definition is computed, process 100 may proceed to manufacturing step (step 180), wherein manufacturing the process institute
The utensil of definition, or the electronic information that can be used by manual processes or automated procedure or information of prining are generated, to define utensil structure
Shape or the change for defining utensil configuration.

(step 420) after original input data is received, which can carry out weight about the removable tooth in model
Multiple operation.(some teeth may be identified and be constrained to irremovable.) if labial teeth worked as by previously selected rectifier selection
The terminal position and dynamics of tooth movement are acceptable (" certainty " branch of deciding step 440), then the process will continue to
Next tooth (step 430) is considered in selection, until all teeth are considered (" completion " branch from step 430 to step 470
Road).Otherwise (" negativity " branch from step 440) calculates change (step of the rectifier in currently selected tooth regions
450).As described in Figure, then which back moves to select next current dental (step 430).When all teeth all pass through
When considering, the whole change (step made to rectifier is evaluated referring to the constraint (example has mentioned stating above) of previous definition
470).It can refer to and various other consider (such as manufacturability) to define constraint.For example, can be setting rectifier by constraint definition
The maximum or minimum thickness of material, or maximum or minimum vertex-covering degree of the setting rectifier on corona.If meeting rectifier constraint,
Then application changes to define new rectifier shape (step 490).Otherwise, the change of rectifier is revised to meet constraint (step

An embodiment (step 450) for the step of rectifier in Fig. 5 A GRAPHIC CALCULATION current dental region changes.
In this embodiment, using rule-based inference engines 456 with handle previously described input data (input 454) and
One group of rule 452a-452n in rule base 452.Inference engines 456 and rule 452 define generation system, which works as
One group of output conclusion can be generated when applied to true input data, group output conclusion can be specified to rectifier in current dental area
Change (output 458) in domain.
Regular 452a...452n has traditional two parts form: one defines the condition part of condition;And one
Condition defines the conclusion part of asserted conclusion or movement in the case of meeting.Condition can be simple condition, or can be
Multiple complex logic conjunction asserted or logical disjunct.The illustrative rule group for defining the change made to rectifier includes such as

Material.
In an alternate embodiment shown in Fig. 5 B and 5C, be calculate rectifier absolute configuration, and and it is non-computational
Increment difference.As shown in Figure 5 B, process 460 calculates absolute configuration of the rectifier in current dental region.Use institute above
The input data stated, the process are the difference calculated between the terminal position that desirable terminal position and current dental are realized
(462).As a reference point using tooth center line and the crosspoint of gingiva tissue horizontal plane, which calculates all 6 movements
Difference magnitude of recruitment (the step 464) of (that is, three translation degree and three degrees of rotation) in freedom degree.Next, as shown in Figure 5 B,
Amount (step 466) of the model teeth from its desirable terminal position displacement up to supplement difference.
Fig. 5 D shows plan view of the explanatory model rectifier 60 on explanatory model tooth 62.The tooth is located at it
Desirable terminal position, and rectifier shape is defined by the tooth in the terminal position.It is shown in figure, finite element analysis is calculated
Tooth actual motion is to be placed in tooth in position 64, rather than be placed in desired locations 62.To the benefit for calculating terminal position
It fills and is shown as position 66.During the repetition of the process, the next step of process 460 (Fig. 5 B) is according in the one before step (466)
The position of the displacement model teeth (step 468) of calculating defines the rectifier in current dental region.Labial teeth will be worked as in Fig. 5 D
The rectifier configuration calculated in tooth region is shown as the shape 68 defined by the reset model tooth in position 66.
Also another step that 452 (Fig. 5 A) of rule can be built into process 460 is shown in Fig. 5 C.To make current dental edge
The direction of center axis thereof is mobile, then allows the model teeth size for defining rectifier region or in dental aligners
Amount of space is made to smaller, determines in the process from the region (step 465) of its moving teeth.
As shown in Figure 6, the process 200 (Fig. 2 B) of rectifier shape is calculated in process for a step in treatment path
The step of being an a series of rectifier shape of calculating in 600.The process 600 starts from initialization step 602, wherein obtaining just
Beginning data, controlling value and binding occurrence.
When finding out each step or treating the rectifier configuration (step 604) of each section in path, process 600 is determined
Whether all rectifiers are acceptable rectifier (step 606).If certainty as a result, then the process is completed.Otherwise, the process
One group of step 610 can optionally be taken, it is intended to calculate one group of acceptable rectifier.Firstly, loosen to one of rectifier or
Multiple constraint (steps 612).Then, for each path-segments with unacceptable rectifier, come through new constraint real
Apply process 200 (Fig. 2 B) (step 614) of determining rectifier shape.If all rectifiers all become acceptable, process is exited
600 (steps 616).
Rectifier can become unacceptable rectifier because of a variety of causes, and some of reasons are handled by the process.For example,
If it is desired to any infeasible movement (deciding step 620), that is, if it is desired to which shape calculating process 200 (Fig. 2 B) realizes that some does not have
There is the movement of any applicable rule or available adjustment, then process 600 can execute a module in turn, which can calculate receptor tooth
The hardware attachment of tooth is configured, and thus power can be applied to this receptor tooth to realize required movement (step 640).Due to addition
Hardware can have the effect of it is more local, therefore when hardware is added to model, the outer loop of implementation procedure 600 again
(step 642).
If simultaneously any infeasible movement (" negativity " branch of step 620) of failed call, process transfers control to road
Diameter definition procedure (such as step 150) of Fig. 2A, to redefine the they part with unacceptable rectifier in treatment path
(step 630).The step can include: change the increment (that is, changing the segmentation on treatment path) of teeth training, change treatment road
One or more teeth are followed in diameter path or the rwo.It is redefined and then secondary execution mistake in treatment path
Outer loop (the step 632) of journey.Advantageously, this, which is recalculated, is confined to only to recalculate treatment path and redefines part
On rectifier.If all rectifiers all become acceptable rectifier, the process (step 634) is exited.If there are still can not
The rectifier of receiving then repeats the process, until finding one group of acceptable rectifier or more than the duplicate limit (step
650).It is described at other points in the specification at this point and durings the grade and (is such as calculating additional hardware (step
640) place), which can be with operator (such as clinician or technician) reciprocation with the (step 652) that requests help.Behaviour
The available help of author can include: definition selects the suitable attachment for being attached to tooth or bone;Define additional moulding member
Part provides required power with one or more sections for treatment path;It is recommended that change treatment path, or the movement of change tooth
The segmentation in path or change treatment path;And a certain deviation or loosening operation constraint of approval operation constraint.
As mentioned above, process 600 defines and parameterizes (step 602) by each input data item.In an embodiment party
In case, the initialization and definition data include following every: the repetition maximum of the outer loop of overall process;About quality factor
Specification, quality factor is computed to determine rectifier whether good enough (B referring to fig. 2, step 270);About rectifier material
Specification;It must satisfy about rectifier shape or configuration as acceptable constrained qualification;About power and positioning movement and speed
It to be acceptable specification in correction art;Initial treatment path comprising the motion path of each tooth and path will be treated
It is divided into the segmented mode of several sections, wherein each section is reached by a rectifier;Be mounted on tooth about any or
The shape of anchor log on other objects or the specification of position;And the model rule of the jawbone locating for tooth and its hetero-organization
(in the embodiment, model adhesive matrix fluid model embedded by tooth is constituted model, and the adherent base mass flow
Body has the boundary condition for substantially defining fluid container).
Fig. 7 is the illustrative chart for counting root model.As shown in the figure, using above-mentioned scanning process, sweeping for tooth is identified
Retouch upper part 701.Then, to the 3D root of the tooth modeled in scanning top (including corona) supplement.It can be established and be closed with statistical
In the 3D model of root of the tooth.The 3D model of root of the tooth 702 and the 3D model on top 700 are formed together the complete 3D model of tooth.
The illustrative chart for the root of the tooth modeling that Fig. 8 display is enhanced using additional dentistry information.In fig. 8, it adds
Dentistry information be X-ray information.The X ray image 710 of tooth is scanned, to provide the 2D view of complete teeth patterning
Figure.The profile of target tooth is identified in X ray image.According to additional information, the model 712 formed in Fig. 7 is modified.It is real one
It applies in example, the tooth model of Fig. 7 is through modality conversion, to form the new model 714 being consistent with X-ray data.
Fig. 9 shows the illustrative chart of tooth CT scan.In this embodiment, it is directly swept by the high-res CBCT of patient
Retouch export root of the tooth.Then, the root of the tooth of scanning can be applied to the corona as derived from stamp, or can by the root of the tooth of scanning with from cone-beam
The existing corona that CT Scan (CBCT) data are extracted is used together.CBCT single sweep operation can provide 3D data and a variety of
The class X-ray data of form.Avoid PVS stamp.
In one embodiment, cone-beam X-ray source and 2D area detector are by any pair of patient's tooth in various methods
Section's anatomical structure is scanned (being scanned in 360 degree of angular regions and its in whole length), in the various sides
In method, regional location detector is fixed relative to x-ray source, and scanning is by opposite turn between x-ray source and object
Dynamic and translational movement is to provide (radiation source is irradiated object).Since cone-beam source is relative to multiple sources along scan path
The movement of position (that is, " visual angle "), detector can obtain corresponding multiple cone beam projection sequential data sets and (be also referred to as herein

Decaying.
Figure 10 shows illustrative user's interface, which shows in another embodiment can be aobvious with root information
The germinating tooth shown.Suitable handle can be used individually to adjust each tooth.In the embodiment in figure 10, handle allows
Operator allows tooth to move in three dimensions with six-freedom degree.
Partly, tooth movement is oriented to using the ordering system based on root of the tooth.In one embodiment, movement be by
Surface area constraint constrains, and in another embodiment, movement constrained by volume constraint.
In one embodiment, which determines the surface area of each tooth model.Then, the system is to whole to be moved
The all surfaces product of tooth model is summed.Next, all surfaces product of the system to whole tooth models on dental arch
It sums.The each stage mobile for tooth, the system can check in moving teeth model scheduled area ratio or about
Beam is met.In one embodiment, which can are as follows: the surface area of moving teeth is less than support tooth on the move
Tooth total surface area on dental arch.If the ratio is greater than special value (such as 50%), which indicates mistake letter to operator
Number, which should be moved more slowly with instruction.
In another embodiment, which determines the volume of each tooth model.Then, the system is to whole on the move
The volume of tooth model is summed.Next, the system determines that the total volume of whole tooth models on dental arch is summed.It is right
In tooth mobile each stage, which can check that predetermined volume ratio or constraint are met when tooth model is mobile.?
In one embodiment, which can are as follows: the volume of moving teeth is less than whole teeth on the dental arch for supporting mobile Tooth
Volume.If the ratio is greater than special value (such as 50%), which indicates error signal to operator, should be relatively slow with instruction
Move the tooth in ground.
Optionally, other features can be added to tooth model data sets to generate the desired features in rectifier.For example,
Desirable situation may be addition numerical digit wax patch to define chamber or recess, to keep the specific region of rectifier and tooth or jaw
Between space.Desirable situation also can be addition numerical digit wax patch structure types that define gauffer or other, to establish tool
There is the region of particular stiffness or other structures characteristic.In the manufacturing process dependent on generation positive model to produce reset utensil,
Addition wax is labelled to the holotype that production is had identical addition wax patch geometry by numerical digit model.This, which can be universally used in, defines rectifier
Base shape or shape for calculating specific rectifier.An addible feature is the fringing around gum line, can be by
At the gum line of numerical digit model teeth (rectifier is manufactured according to the numerical digit model teeth) add numerical digit model steel wire come
Make the fringing.When by by polymer material pressure cooperation when on the positive physical model of numerical digit tooth to manufacture rectifier,
Make rectifier that there is fringing around it along the steel wire of gum line, to provide additional hardness along gum line.
In another optional manufacturing technology, by two panels or more pressure cooperation on positive tooth model, wherein one
Sheet material is to be cut out along the vault of rectifier, and remaining material is covered in top.This is at least mentioned along the vertical wall of tooth
For the rectifier material of double thickness.
The change made constraint by production rectifier used in manufacturing technology can be designed rectifier.For example, if
Rectifier is made in positive model by by polymer sheet pressure cooperation, then the thickness of rectifier is determined by piece thickness.Therefore,
In general, if the system will be by the change orientation of model teeth, the size of model teeth stem portion, accessory position and choosing
It selects and added material or removal material (for example, addition steel wire or form lacuna) is adjusted in a manner of change rectifier structure
Save the performance of rectifier.Optionally, which can be made by specified one or more rectifiers of non-standard thickness material piece
Rectifier is adjusted in a manner of providing greater or lesser power to tooth.On the other hand, if by quick shaping process (example
Such as, three-dimensional lithography process or lithography process) make rectifier, then the thickness of rectifier can locally change, and can add
Such as fringing, lacuna and fold structure feature, without modifying the numerical digit model of tooth.
The system also can be used to establish about more commonly using the model of utensil (such as retainer and rectifier) effect, and therefore may be used
To generate optimal design and therapeutic scheme for particular patient.
Figure 11 A-11B illustrates initial tooth positions and non-desirable force vector obtained with positioning toilet article respectively.
Referring to diagram, tooth is shown as along the plane direction in the example of movement (in the x-direction) wherein, and in toilet article, (e.g., polymeric shells are rectified
Positive device) be located on tooth after, the geometric shape of rectifier be configured to tooth apply predetermined force, according to particular treatment rank
The treatment plan of section resets tooth.For example, as shown in Figure 11 B, toilet article are configured to be engaged with tooth as shown along the side x
To reset tooth, however as shown by arrows and illustrated, but cause along the direction+x/-z application predetermined force.
Therefore, in an aspect, rectifier geometric shape can be optimized to compensate non-desirable but established force vector
To form reaction to the power, and further along base consider in the direction for the treatment of plan for the treatment of stage apply set power.
That is, Figure 11 C-11D is illustrated respectively adds relief to toilet article to form reaction, Yi Jisuo to periodontal non-desirable force vector
The desirable predetermined force that the toilet article of acquisition apply tooth.In one aspect, for non-desirable power (for example, such as Figure 11 B arrow institute
Show) compensate, it is possible to provide scheduled relief (such as, but not limited to, 0.1 to 0.3mm) to avoid in rectifier and tooth it
Between cause the contact of non-desirable force vector, but still retain (for example) along the desirable power of above-mentioned x-axis.
1C referring to Fig.1, shown arrow is the predetermined relief illustrated on rectifier, thus by the geometric form of modification rectifier
Shape and eliminate and cause engaging at non-desirable power position between rectifier and tooth.By this method, in one aspect, and as schemed
Shown in 11D, realizes by (for example) the geometric shape of rectifier is modified and be applied to the set and desirable of tooth in the x-direction
Power.
The toilet article geometric shape of Figure 12 diagram modification, including the additional shape to remove gap between toilet article and tooth
Shape modification.Referring to Fig.1 2, it is noted that, although the modification to rectifier geometric shape (as discussed above in association with Figure 11 C-11D)
It will lead to and tooth, but for example, as shown in Figure 12, tooth and rectifier are applied to by the desirable predetermined force that dental treatment is planned
Between, in gingival areas nearby may will form gap or chamber.It in one aspect, can be to strong in view of produced gap or chamber
Positive device geometric shape further modify or optimize, (for example) when rectifier is in effectively (stretching) state towards tooth
There is more adaptability on direction.
Referring to Fig.1 2, in one embodiment, arrow (direction of arrow is can be to the direction that rectifier shape is modified)
It is graphical optimization rectifier geometric shape, to solve the gap formed or chamber.Moreover, it is noted that being directed to gap and carrying out
Rectifier shape optimum may potentially influence rectifier to the direction of tooth applied force, and therefore may need further progress
Additional modification or optimization.
In one aspect, dental appliance shape is modified with one or more relief regions, and be respectively more loose adaptation
Or relatively tight adaptation carries out profile modifications to realize desirable force vector, and friction and other non-desirable force vectors are avoided simultaneously, thus
Improvement and custom rectifier shape are provided for the treatment of the dental conditions.
In toilet article manufacture, in one aspect, rapid shaping can be adjusted during establishment process and be formed by mould, to be in
Now based on (for example) in the predefined position of mould or relevant position numerical digit add and/or subtract relief and/or protrusion
Desirable geometry.
Figure 13 diagram constructs toilet article geometric shape based on the scan geometry of tooth treatment plan.Referring to Fig.1 3,
It, can be by since dental appliance and interdental friction can form limitation to treatment, thus in one aspect in one side
All interference between current location (Current therapeutic stage) and the next position (n+1 treatment stage) are removed to optimize rectifier
Geometry.That is, can produce the scan geometry between current location and the next position.Scan geometry shape shown in Figure 13
Shape is to combine geometry between current location and next unlimited little increment towards the next position (n+1 treatment stage).By
By the unlimited little increment such as this that adds up, geometry obtained just establishes scan geometry shape.
Referring again to Figure 13, determine rectifier scan geometry with minimize or remove tooth and dental appliance it
Between friction after, can be to the one or more deformation of rectifier shape addition or relief, to provide desirable motion-vector, with edge
Direction determined by the particular treatment stage for treatment plan applies set power.
In another aspect, detectable when because generated power is insufficient to lead to the movement of tooth.That is, vertical
In the amount of surface area of desirable portable cord (or direction perpendicular to motion-vector) may be not enough to that rectifier is allowed to reach required power.
For example, existing root shear force may be not enough to push in the direction on projected direction (as shown in Figure 12, edge+Z axis)
