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 36):
A method comprising:\n receiving an electronic representation of the patient's teeth, the electronic representation being formed from an output of a scanner used to scan the patient's teeth; outputting, with a 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 a display; determining an anatomic reference plane relative to the electronic representation of the patient's teeth, the anatomic reference plane being defined in part by reference points on the patient's teeth; outputting, with the display, the anatomic reference plane; outputting, with the display, control points for modifying the anatomic reference plane; outputting, with the display, virtual brackets on the virtual representation of the patient's teeth, the virtual brackets aligned on the virtual representation of the patient's teeth according to the anatomic reference plane; and finalizing positions of the virtual brackets on the virtual representation of the patient's teeth;.
