Title:
3D FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION AND VISUALIZATION IN DENTAL TREATMENT PLANNING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/049918
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to capturing a 3-dimensional representation of a patient's face from multiple angles to be integrated with (fused) with at least a 3-dimensional intra-oral mesh of the patient's teeth for purposes of visualizing a dental treatment plan. In one aspect, a method includes capturing media of a patient's face from multiple angles, using at least one device; transforming the media into a 3-dimensional representation of the patient's face; and transmitting, the 3-dimensional representation of the patient's face to one or more processing components to be integrated with a 3- dimensional representation of the patient's intra-oral scan to visualize a dental treatment plan for the patient.
