Abstract:
System and methods for positioning 3D virtual brackets on teeth for the precise positioning of conventional brackets and wire. Various reference features may be calculated for the teeth and used to calculate a position for the virtual bracket. Reference features that are calculated include curve of Spee, Andrew's plane, and a facial axis of the clinical crown for the teeth.

Claim (Index 39):
A system for positioning a virtual bracket on a virtual representation of a patient's tooth, the system comprising:\n memory comprising program code that, when executed by a processor, causes the system to: receive an electronic representation of the patient's tooth, the electronic representation being formed from an output of an intraoral scanner used to scan the patient's teeth; output, with the display, the virtual representation of the patient's teeth, the virtual representation of the patient's teeth being based on the electronic representation of the patient's teeth; determine a reference point of the patient's tooth from the received electronic representation of the patient's tooth; determine a reference plane relative to the received electronic representation of the patient's tooth; output the reference plane on the display; output control points on the display; receive a user input for modifying the reference plane via the control points; modify a shape of the reference plane based on the user input; locate a site for placement of the virtual bracket on the virtual representation of the patient's tooth based on at least the reference point of the patient's tooth; output, with the display, the virtual bracket on the virtual representation of the patient's tooth, the outputted virtual bracket aligned on the virtual representation of the patient's tooth based on at least the modified reference plane; and finalize a position of the virtual bracket on the virtual representation of the patient's tooth.
