The invention relates to a computer system for providing a treatment proposal for a dentition of a patient. The computer system is configured to provide an current state model of the dentition and a target state model of the dentition; to provide a set of treatment options for treating the dentition, to check the provided treatment options, wherein the checking comprises determining whether the dentition of the patient is meeting the feasibility requirements assigned to the treatment option being checked; in case the dentition is determined to meet the feasibility requirements assigned to the treatment option being checked, to provide the treatment proposal identifying the respective treatment option and implementation parameters determined for the measures of the identified treatment option for modifying the current state model such that one or more discrepancies of the current state model relative to the target state model are compensated.

Thermoforming methods of making orthodontic appliances and orthodontic appliances preforms employ a barrier sheet positioned between an appliance sheet and a dental model during the forming step. The thermoformed orthodontic appliances are more pellucid than appliances thermoformed without the barrier sheet.

Embodiments relate to the methodology of direct manufacture of a customized labial/lingual orthodontic tube by using a ceramic slurry-based additive manufacturing (AM) technology. For example, a method of manufacturing customized ceramic labial/lingual orthodontic tubes by additive manufacturing may comprise measuring dentition data of a profile of teeth of a patient, based on the dentition data, creating a three-dimensional computer-assisted design (3D CAD) model of the patient's teeth, and saving the 3D CAD model, designing a virtual 3D CAD tube structure model for a single labial or lingual tube structure based upon said 3D CAD model, importing data related to the 3D CAD tube structure model into an additive manufacturing machine, and directly producing the tube with the additive manufacturing machine by layer manufacturing from an inorganic material including at least one of a ceramic, a polymer-derived ceramic, and a polymer-derived metal.

A system and a method for providing a model of a superstructure joining a denture and a corresponding dental arch, the method includes the steps of obtaining a first 3D representation of at least a part of a preliminary model of the denture, obtaining a second 3D representation of at least a part of the dental arch comprising dental implants, and generating a model of a superstructure based on the first 3D representation, the second 3D representation, dental implant positions and dental implant orientations.
