Methods and apparatuses for asynchronously identifying and modeling a gingiva strip from the three-dimensional (3D) dental model of the patient's dentition. These methods may reduce the time required to generate accurate 3D dental models and therefore may reduce and streamline the process of generating dental treatment plans.

The present disclosure provides methods, computing device readable medium, devices, and systems that utilize a cheek retractor and/or a mobile device holder for case assessment and/or dental treatments. One cheek retractor includes a first and a second lip holder, both including imaging markers of a predetermined size to determine a scale of teeth of a user, where each imaging marker is located a predefined distance from the remaining imaging markers, and where the lip holder is to hold a cheek away from a mouth of a user to expose teeth of the user. A mobile device holder can include elements to receive a mobile device to capture images of the patient's teeth.

According to an embodiment, a computer-implemented method for generating an edge curve to facilitate manufacture of at least a portion of a dental device is disclosed. The method includes identifying at least one tooth reference point for each of at least two teeth on a dental model; identifying at least one offset point corresponding to each of the at least one tooth reference points such that the at least one offset point is on a gingival surface of the dental model and located outside an interproximal area; and generating the edge curve by connecting the offset points such that the edge curve is outside the interproximal area and on the gingival surface.

Provided is a method for generating an orthodontic teeth alignment shape for an orthodontic treatment, the method including the steps of: extracting specific points from a plurality of teeth in at least one of the upper and lower jaws, based on a patient's teeth shape information; generating a three-dimensional patient arch form based on the extracted specific points; comparing the patient arch form with a plurality of standard arch forms to select the standard arch form most similar to the patient arch form from the plurality of standard arch forms; and generating the orthodontic teeth alignment shape based on the selected standard arch form.
