Abstract
In one aspect, the present application provides a computer-implemented method for generating a digital data set representing a target tooth arrangement, comprising: obtaining a first 3D digital model representing an initial tooth arrangement; extracting at least one feature from each tooth of the first 3D digital model; generating a feature vector based on the extracted features; and aligning the first 3D digital model using a Statistical Shape Model based on the feature vector to obtain a second 3D digital model representing a target tooth arrangement.
