Abstract:
1. A method for digital dental modeling, comprising: receiving, via a computing device, a three-dimensional data set including a first jaw and a second jaw of a three-dimensional digital dental model without information about relative positions of the first jaw and the second jaw in a bite configuration; receiving, via the computing device, a two-dimensional data set corresponding to at least a portion of the first jaw and the second jaw in the bite configuration; mapping, via the computing device, two-dimensional data of the two-dimensional data set to the three-dimensional digital dental model by transforming a coordinate system of the two-dimensional data to a coordinate system of the three-dimensional data set; positioning, via the computing device, the first jaw with respect to the second jaw in an initial position; and bite setting the first and the second jaws of the three-dimensional digital dental model from the initial position in order to position the first jaw and the second jaw in the bite configuration, via the computing device, wherein bite setting includes:
