Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses for orthodontic treatment planning. A treatment plan may be for a patient's teeth and for a specific dental professional. A set of combined treatment preferences may include a first set of rules converted from a set of textual instructions from the specified dental professional into a domain-specific language specific to the specified dental professional. The textual instructions may include unscripted instructions. A second set of rules may be converted from a set of scripted instructions from the specified dental professional. The scripted instructions may include responses from a script of predefined choices. An orthodontic treatment plan may be generated for the patient's teeth using the set of combined treatment preferences and a digital model of the patient's teeth.
