    Abstract: Method for acquiring a model of a dental arch of a user (U), said method comprising the following steps: a) at an update time, extra-oral acquisition, with a portable scanner (12), by the user, of a digital three-dimensional model (8) of said arch, and optionally division of the model of the arch so as to isolate one portion (30) of the model of the arch, so as to obtain an “updated model”, the updated model thus possibly being the acquired model or the portion of the acquired model isolated by division, the object represented by the updated model being called the “updated object”.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for adapting an orthodontic apparatus intended for a patient, said system comprising the following steps: -a) determining, at a parameterisation time, by a first dental healthcare professional and specifically for said patient, conditions for communicating updated information relating to the configuration of the patient's dentition; -b) acquiring, at an updated time subsequent to the parameterisation time, by means of an acquisition device and by the patient or an acquaintance of the patient, an extraoral depiction of at least one portion of the patient's dental arches, referred to as an “updated depiction”, said updated depiction consisting of a set of images and/or of a three-dimensional digital model; -c) analysing said updated depiction, so as to determine information regarding said dentition configuration at the updated time, or “updated information”, the updated information consisting of a set of information elements, each expressing a status for a relevant treatment aim in light of the updated depiction; -d) communicating the updated information to at least one second dental healthcare professional under the conditions determined in step a); -e) adapting said orthodontic apparatus on the basis of the updated information communicated in step d).

    Abstract: A method for evaluating, by computer, at an “updated” time, the conformity of an orthodontic aligner with a dental arch of a patient, referred to as the “support arch.” The method includes the following successive steps: A) producing a digital three-dimensional model of the support arch in its configuration at the updated time, or an “updated reference model”, and determining from the updated reference model, a support surface for the aligner; B) deforming the support surface on the basis of the geometry of the aligner in order to obtain a deformed support surface; C) comparing an external surface of the aligner with the deformed support surface, then determining, on the basis of the comparison, at least one score for the conformity of the aligner with the support arch.
