Computational study demonstrates accurate tooth position prediction in dental modeling, indicating improved automated orthodontic alignment without tooth collisions.
A multi-layer feature optimization Transformer-based tooth position prediction method is proposed to address the problems of difficult access to high-precision medical data and the difficulty of capturing and representing hierarchical features and spatial relationships among teeth by current methods. First, a geometric adaptive optimization strategy and a physiological adaptive reconstruction strategy are designed for real-time adaptation to the complexity of different clinical environments and enhanced pose invariance by integrating the physiological characteristics and anatomical structure of teeth. Then, a hierarchical feature tooth position prediction network was designed to solve the problems of weak ability of MLPs to process high-dimensional data and low accuracy of prediction transformation matrix by extracting hierarchical geometric features of teeth. Finally, a jointly supervised loss function is constructed, which can simultaneously capture the intrinsic differences, spatial relationships and uncertainties of the tooth position prediction disorder distribution, and can effectively supervise the tooth spatial structure relationships and prevent tooth collisions and misalignments. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the proposed method is improved by 2.87% and the rotation and translation errors are reduced by 28.28% and 37.53%, respectively, compared with the current method.
