Abstract

In one aspect, the present application provides a computer-based method of measuring positional relationship between two teeth, comprising: obtaining a second 3D digital model representing a plurality of teeth under a second tooth arrangement, wherein the plurality of teeth comprise a first tooth and a second tooth; and measuring a value of a collision or a size of a gap between the first tooth and second tooth based on the second 3D digital model and in a predetermined first direction.
