With _s_upport from Innovate UK's Biomedical Catalyst, Southwest SME Vitaware Ltd. and academic partners, Cardiff Dental School and University of Exeter's digital manufacturing research centre, X-AT, aim to address shortcomings in the current provision of clear aligners for orthodontic treatment.Those looking to receive increasingly popular "Clear aligner" orthodontic treatment must currently make a choice between prohibitively expensive "dentist-led" solutions (such as Invisalign), or lower-cost, but clinically unsupervised "at-home" solutions where risk of dental damage is high. There is currently no means for patients to receive quality dentist-led treatment at an affordable price-point.This industrial research project involves the exploration and development of a new proposed solution for deployment of clear aligner treatments to patients which facilitate efficient "In-Clinic" treatment planning directly by the orthodontic specialists overseeing treatments. This removes large fees involved in outsourcing to offshore technicians, which is the current favoured modus operandi for UK dental/orthodontic clinics due to the complexity of current solutions for designing treatment solutions in-clinic.The proposed novel solution leverages a combination of AI/ML, physics-based simulation and researches optimised small-scale manufacture to streamline, expedite and de-skill the end-to-end clear aligner workflow. Such patient-specific treatments planned and overseen by specialists will promote superior outcomes and make clear aligners vastly more accessible to the majority of the British population.

与来自Innovate UK的生物医学催化剂的_S_UPPORT，西南中小企业Vitaware Ltd.和学术合作伙伴，Cardiff Dental School和Exeter University of Exeter Digital Manufacturing Research Center，X-AT，旨在解决当前为Orthodontictic Cornement of The Orthodontictic Greanse提供的缺点。要获得越来越流行的“清晰对准器”正畸治疗目前必须在过于昂贵的“牙医领导的”解决方案（例如Invisalign）或较低的成本之间做出选择高的。目前，患者没有能够以负担得起的价格获得高质量的牙医领导的治疗。该工业研究项目涉及探索和开发新建议的解决方案，以部署明确的对准者治疗的患者，以促进有效的“有效” “正畸专家直接监督治疗的治疗计划。由于当前设计治疗解决方案的复杂性，该建议的新颖解决方案利用AI/ML的组合，这是当前对英国牙科/正畸诊所的最受欢迎的机构手术的大量费用。 ，基于物理学的仿真和研究优化了小规模的制造，以简化，加快端到端清晰的对准器工作流程。由专家计划和监督的这种特定于患者的治疗方法将促进卓越的结果，并使大多数英国人口更容易获得清晰的一致性。
