Abstract
Systems and methods for planning a treatment for a patient's teeth are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving input data representing an initial tooth arrangement of a patient's teeth. The method can include determining a target tooth arrangement for the patient's teeth, the target tooth arrangement including a change in mass of at least one tooth. The method can also include generating a plurality of intermediate tooth arrangements configured to adjust the patient's teeth from the initial tooth arrangement toward the target tooth arrangement. The method can further include generating instructions to output a visualization showing a difference in tooth mass between at least one intermediate tooth arrangement of the plurality of intermediate tooth arrangements and the target tooth arrangement.
