Abstract:
Method and system for managing multiple impressions of a patient's jaw for an orthodontic treatment is provided. The method includes scanning at least a first impression and a second impression of same jaw for the orthodontic treatment; determining if the first jaw impression and the second jaw impression have distortion in different areas; selecting the first jaw impression or the second jaw impression as a base impression; and replacing a distorted tooth data from the base impression with data for the same tooth from a non-base impression. The method also includes scanning at least a first jaw impression for the orthodontic treatment; scanning a bite impression for the orthodontic treatment; matching the scanned first jaw impression with the scanned bite impression; comparing bite information with a tooth occlusal surface; and determining if reconstruction is to be performed on the tooth occlusal surface.

Claim (Index 22):
A method for generating a series of orthodontic adjustment appliances for treating a patient, the method comprising:\n receiving a first scanned jaw impression of the patient; receiving a second scanned jaw impression of the patient, wherein the first scanned jaw impression and the second scanned jaw impression correspond to the same jaw of the patient; examining the first scanned jaw impression and the second scanned jaw impression of the patient to determine if at least one of the first scanned jaw impression and the second scanned jaw impression has a distortion; when examining the first scanned jaw impression and the second scanned jaw impression determines that no distortions are present in either the first scanned jaw impression or the second scanned jaw impression, selecting one of the first scanned jaw impression and the second scanned jaw impression and generating a series of orthodontic adjustment appliances for treating the patient using the selected one of the first scanned jaw impression and the second scanned jaw impression; when examining the first scanned jaw impression and the second scanned jaw impression determines that a distortion is present in either the first scanned jaw impression or the second scanned jaw impression, creating a combined digital jaw impression for the patient based on both the first scanned jaw impression and the second scanned jaw impression; and generating a series of orthodontic adjustment appliances for treating the patient using the combined digital jaw impression.
