Abstract

This system present a feasibility of computer-aided diagnosis, planning and simulation for orthodontic treatment. In the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) and Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) integrated environment, a flexible, friendly and functional interface for orthodontic treatment was designed. The methods of how to integrate VTK and MFC in different system are described, and the three-dimensional model of the dentition is reconstructed by using marching-cubes (MC) algorithms. Finally, the three-dimensional model for rendering and interaction is also introduced.
