Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for arranging a soft tissue using image data and a dental instrument manufactured using said method, and more particularly, to a method for arranging a soft tissue using image data wherein a target soft tissue arrangement for orthodontics can be easily obtained after a soft tissue model in an oral cavity is segmented into slices including an individual tooth and a part of the corresponding soft tissue, and arranging image data of each segmented slice in consideration of the occlusal relationship of teeth, and to a dental instrument manufactured using the method. The soft tissue arrangement method of the present invention comprises the steps of obtaining image data for a soft tissue model in the oral cavity representing an initial soft tissue arrangement; obtaining image data for slices including a part of a soft tissue constituting the soft tissue model, and an individual tooth; obtaining image data representing the target soft tissue arrangement using an image for each of the slices; and obtaining image data representing a stepwise soft tissue arrangement for a partial movement of teeth using the image data representing the initial soft tissue arrangement and the image data for the target soft tissue arrangement. The soft tissue arrangement method according to the present invention has advantages of enabling easy and efficient establishment of a stepwise orthodontic treatment plan, and enabling easy manufacture of a dental instrument for orthodontic treatment using image data for a stepwise soft tissue arrangement.
