Claim 11:
12. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a 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:
accessing a database of user preferences that was generated by: performing a statistical preference analysis to identify, from a collection of user-specific text instructions comprising a plurality of dental treatment instructions that are each associated with a specific user, a key preference text statement and a corresponding clinical behavior for treating a patient's teeth associated with a single user, wherein the database of user preferences includes an entry linking the key preference text statement, the single user associated with the key preference text statement, 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.
