Abstract:
The example systems, methods, and/or computer-readable media described herein help with design of highly accurate models of un-erupted or partially erupted teeth and help fabricate of aligners for un-erupted or partially erupted teeth. Automated agents that use machine learning models to parametrically represent three-dimensional (3d) virtual representations of teeth as 3D descriptors in a 3D descriptor space are provided herein. In some implementations, the automated agents described herein provide instructions to fabricate aligners for at least partially un-erupted teeth using representative 3D descriptor(s) of a tooth type.

Claim (Index 19):
A system comprising:\n one or more processors; memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory configured to store computer-program instructions, that, when executed by the one or more processors, perform a computer-implemented method comprising: gathering a first anatomical tooth identifier of an at least partially un-erupted tooth of a patient, the first anatomical tooth identifier forming a basis to identify the at least partially un-erupted tooth; identifying a tooth type using the first anatomical tooth identifier; gathering a representative 3D descriptor for the tooth type from a plurality of 3D descriptors for the tooth type,\n each of the plurality of 3D descriptors, including the representative 3D descriptor, parametrically representing a plurality of virtual surface contours of the tooth type according to a plurality of spatial parameters, \n the representative 3D descriptor having a minimum distance to other 3D descriptors of the plurality of 3D descriptors in a 3D descriptor space formed of the plurality of 3D descriptors, and \n each of the plurality of 3D descriptors being associated with one of the plurality of 3D virtual representations of a plurality of teeth gathered from a plurality of subjects; \n forming a virtual 3D tooth shape for the at least partially un-erupted tooth using the representative 3D descriptor; and \n providing instructions to form at least a portion of a removable orthodontic appliance for the at least partially un-erupted tooth using the 3D tooth shape for the at least partially un-erupted tooth.
