Methods and systems for establishing dental occlusion are described herein. These systems and methods can be used for 1-, 2-, or 3-piece maxillary orthognathic surgeries. An example computer-implemented method includes receiving a maxillary dental model and a mandibular dental model, identifying a plurality of dental landmarks in each of the maxillary and mandibular dental models, and extracting a plurality of points-of-interest from each of the maxillary and mandibular dental models. The dental landmarks include a plurality of maxillary dental landmarks and a plurality of mandibular dental landmarks. The method further includes aligning the maxillary and mandibular points-of-interest, and fine tuning the alignment of the maxillary and mandibular dental models to achieve maximum contact with a collision constraint.

A method of reconstructing a gingival profile comprising generating, by a processor, a defined cross section of an arch form model extending through a tooth axis of a given tooth and a defined gingiva region; identifying within a tooth cross section profile of the defined cross section a set of reference points for generating a parametric curve defining at least a portion of the tooth cross section profile; generating the parametric curve based on the set of reference points; generating a first undefined cross section of the arch form model extending through the tooth axis of the given tooth and an defined gingiva region; constructing in the first undefined cross section, at least a portion of the parametric curve, thereby generating a first reconstructed gingival profile, and updating the arch form model with the first reconstructed gingival profile; and storing the arch form model including the reconstructed gingival profile.
