Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 21:
22. A system comprising:
an intraoral scanner configured to obtain an intraoral scan of teeth;
a computing device comprising:
memory;
one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to perform a method comprising:
receiving the intraoral scan;
using the intraoral scanner to simulate a first orthodontic treatment process on digital representations of initial teeth parameters of a dentition to move the teeth toward a target occlusion to produce a first set of output results;
using the intraoral scanner to simulate a second orthodontic treatment process on the first set of output results from the simulation of the first orthodontic treatment process to produce a second set of output results, the first set of output results from the simulation of the first orthodontic treatment process comprising supplementary teeth parameters; and
displaying the simulation of the first orthodontic treatment process and the simulation of the second orthodontic treatment process to reflect an alteration to the first orthodontic treatment process and the second orthodontic treatment process.
