Claim 19:
20. A system comprising:
one or more processors;
memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory configured to store computer-program instructions, that, when executed by the one or more processors, perform a computer-implemented method comprising:
creating a database of user preferences by:
collecting user-specific text instructions comprising a plurality of dental treatment instructions that are each associated with a clinical dental procedure associated with a single user from a collection of historical treatment data;
identifying, over the time period, a statistically consistent clinical behavior for treating the patient's teeth from the clinical dental procedure instructions and a corresponding key preference text statement, wherein the time period comprises the duration of a most recent cluster of the clinical behavior for treating the patient's teeth;
adding, into the database of user preferences, an entry linking the key preference text statement, the single user, and the corresponding clinical behavior for treating the patient's teeth;

receiving a description of a patient's dentition;
receiving patient treatment instructions from a dental professional for performing an orthodontic procedure on the patient; and
automatically generating a dental treatment plan using the database of user preferences, by applying text matching to identify one or more user-specific key preference text statements from the database in the patient treatment instructions and incorporating the clinical behavior corresponding to each of the one or more matched user-specific key preference text statements into the dental treatment plan.
