Zusammenfassung:Methods for generating stages for a portion of orthodontic aligner treatment for a digital 3D model of teeth in malocclusion. The methods generate a subset of stages of setups among a complete set of stages of setups for aligner treatment of the teeth. The subset of stages can be selected from a complete set of stages, based upon a target intermediate setup, or sequentially generated from one stage to the next in the subset. Aligners for the subset of stages of setups can then be manufactured without having to make a complete set of aligners. A method to generate a setup for the aligner treatment compares the digital 3D model of teeth in malocclusion to a plurality of setups for historical cases of teeth in malocclusion that have undergone aligner treatment.
