Patent Issued for Systems and methods for constructing a three-dimensional model from two-dimensional images (USPTO 11850113).

A patent has been issued for systems and methods for constructing a three-dimensional model from two-dimensional images. The patent describes a system that uses machine learning to generate 3D models of dental arches from 2D images. This technology aims to improve the process of manufacturing dental aligners by reducing the time and potential errors associated with traditional methods of obtaining dental impressions or intraoral scans. The system involves a model training system that identifies correlation points between training images and 3D models, and a model generation system that applies images of a user's dental arch to the machine learning model to generate a 3D model. This technology has potential applications in orthodontics and dentistry. [Extracted from the article]
