Abstract :
We introduce OSD (orthodontic simulation and diagnosis) system, which provides 3-D measurement to the dentists. OSD takes dental casts produced by 3-D scanners as inputs, and simulates what the dentists usually do on the real casts. The cast models are displayed in multiple views, so it is convenient for the user to have a good look from arbitrary positions. Most of the common diagnoses are supported, including tooth size, arch type, Bolton ratio, over bite/jet, Howe´s analysis, and also simulated treatment previews
