New system generates orthodontic reports from occlusal geometry

Researchers have developed a novel system for generating orthodontic reports from intraoral scan data, moving beyond traditional multimodal captioning. This system leverages the fact that scan pairs are already registered in occlusion, allowing for direct measurement of occlusal quantities. By recovering anatomical frames and reducing arches to occlusal ridge profiles, the system calculates various measurements like overbite, overjet, and crossbite extent. These measurements are then mapped to template fields using gradient boosting, with a ConvNeXt-Tiny classifier enhancing accuracy. The system achieved a third-place ranking in the ODIN 2026 Bite2Text test phase, demonstrating its efficiency and accuracy. AI

IMPACT This research demonstrates a novel application of AI in specialized medical reporting, potentially improving diagnostic efficiency and accuracy in orthodontics.

    Occlusal Geometry in Closed Form for Orthodontic Report Generation

    arXiv:2609.13237v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Orthodontic report generation from intraoral data is normally cast as multimodal captioning, yet the released Bite2Text scan pairs are supplied already registered in occlusion, which makes several core occlusal quantities directly…
