    Abstract: A positive mold for use in creating an orthodontic appliance is produced by obtaining a digital dentition model (200), such as a 3D geometric surface model or a 3D volumetric image model that defines the shape of an orthodontic appliance, and then altering the digital dentition model (205) to remove a portion that does not affect the shape of the orthondotic appliance. The altered digital dentition model then is used (210) to construct a positive mold for the orthodontic appliance. Processing circuitry, such as a programmed computer, is used to obtain, and alter the digital dentition model. A rapid prototype device, such as a stereo-lithography machine, is commonly used to construct the positive mold.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a manipulable or reconfigurable dental model system, and methods for its use to model a series of tooth configurations corresponding to sequential tooth movements during an orthodontic treatment; wherein the teeth, and bite configurations are realigned in a series of stages. Each stage represents a new pattern or dental configuration that will eventually lead to a proper final positioning of the entire dentition. Progress from the initial configuration, through the intermediate stages, and finally to the final configuration may be accomplished using any one or a combination of different dental appliances (103). These appliances (103) may be made using a manipulable or reconfigurable dental mold (102) to model patient dentition, and gingiva at each stage of treatment. The mold (102) comprises a base (107) having a plurality of ports (106) therein for placement of tooth members (101). The tooth members (101) are coupled to manipulation devices (111) such that the tooth members (101) can be manipulated, repositioned to the desired intermediate, and final configurations.
