Claim 7:
8. A computer-implemented method comprising:
accessing a database of user preferences that was generated 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 a 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 from the historical treatment data, and 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.
