Abstract
Example dental scanning methods for analyzing jaws of a patient involve taking multiple radiographic scans of the jaws, and/or models thereof, and then applying digital image analytics to shift the image of one scan to match that of another. The resulting properly scaled and shifted image serves as a virtual 3D jaw model that can be manipulated and analyzed to aid in various orthodontic and other dental treatments.
