Abstract
Methods and systems for IPR planning. One method includes identifying an overlap between a first tooth and a second tooth in a patient's dentition at a target position of a treatment plan; identifying first and second ridge endpoint reference lines on each of the first tooth and the second tooth; calculating a distance difference between the first and second ridge endpoint reference lines; determining that the distance difference is outside a threshold difference; revising the treatment plan by adding one or more stages to the treatment plan where the distance difference between the first and second ridge endpoint reference lines is within the threshold difference; and prescribing IPR on one or both of the first and second teeth at the one or more additional stages of the treatment plan.
