Methods and systems for modeling mandibular motion

A method for modeling mandibular motion, executable by an electronic device and including: acquiring a point cloud representing a mandible; determining an initial condyle pose; determining natural movement parameters for the condyles including maximum protrusion displacement, a Bennett angle, and a Sagittal inclination path angle; receiving an indication of a translation and/or a rotation of the mandible; determining a first natural movement of translation including a protrusion followed by a first sagittal inclination; determining a second natural movement of rotation including a Bennet movement followed by a second sagittal inclination; applying the natural movement s to the point cloud to form a transformed point cloud; creating a model of the mandible having undergone the at least one of the translation and the rotation using the transformed point cloud; and displaying the model of the mandible having undergone the translation and/or rotation.
