Abstract

This paper describes a new method for 3D orthodontic treatment simulation developed for an orthodontic planning system (MAGA-LLANES). We develop an original system for three-dimensional reconstruction of dental anatomy. Data are acquired directly from the patient with low cost 3D digitizers avoiding use of dental casts in orthodontic treatments. We apply these 3D dental models to simulate three-dimensional movement of teeth, including rotations, during orthodontic treatment. We develop an original simplified model of arch-wire behavior and a viscoplastic behavior law for the alveolar bone, to simulate teeth displacements during orthodontic treatments. The proposed algorithm enables to quantify the effect of orthodontic appliances on teeth movement. Preliminary results are very promising.
