Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and apparatuses (including software) for determining and/or locating dental ridgelines may include identifying patterns corresponding to two or more ridgeline point locations for individual teeth in the 3D model of the patient's dentition and determining a ridgeline for the teeth based on identified patterns corresponding to the two or more ridgeline point locations. The determined dental ridgelines can be used to determine a dental treatment plan. Also described herein are methods and apparatuses for identifying and quantifying round trip tooth movements in a treatment plan. The round trip tooth movements may be used as a basis for adjusting the treatment plan by reducing the amount of round trip movement or eliminating the round trip movement from the treatment plan.
