Abstract:
The disclosed technology provides for setting up teeth, such as dentures and dental appliances, based on motion data. A method can include receiving, by a computing system, a digital representation of the patient's jaw movement, receiving a digital model of at least a portion of the patient's upper and lower teeth, receiving user input indicating selection of at least a first tooth in the digital model as moveable, at least a second tooth as fixed, and at least a third tooth as ignored, moving the at least portion of the upper teeth and the lower teeth along movement pathways indicated by the digital representation of jaw movement, and automatically adjusting a position of the selected first tooth based on detecting the position of the selected at least first tooth as colliding or interfering with one or more other teeth represented by the digital model along one of the movement pathways.
