SHIKA: Orthodontic treatment simulation app

This application helps users see how their teeth will look after cosmetic orthodontics. Users can also choose the type of orthodontics, such as upper or lower orthodontics or transparent orthodontics.
You can also adjust the position of each bracket, the 3D rotation, and the color and transparency of the orthodontics.

About Project:

The services provided are as follows:
1) Teeth Visualization After Orthodontics: simulate how the teeth will look post-cosmetic orthodontic treatment.
2) Orthodontic Type Selection: choose between
・Upper teeth only
・Lower teeth only
・Full set (upper + lower)
・Transparent orthodontics
3) Bracket Position Adjustment: manually move each bracket to desired positions on the teeth.
4) 3D Rotation Control: rotate the 3D model of the teeth for viewing from different angles.
5) Appearance Customization: adjust Color of orthodontics and Transparency level of the orthodontics

Challenge

The system must render highly detailed, realistic 3D models of teeth and braces, while also providing smooth, interactive editing features (e.g., rotating the model, adjusting bracket positions, and changing materials). This is technically demanding and user-sensitive:
・3D rendering and manipulation can be computationally heavy, especially on mobile or browser-based environments.
・Non-specialist users (patients) need an intuitive interface that makes complex 3D tasks feel simple.

Solution

Optimized 3D Model Rendering
・Use lightweight meshes and texture compression for mobile/browser compatibility (e.g., GLTF/GLB file formats)
・Support Level of Detail (LOD) rendering to scale visual complexity based on device performance
・Implement GPU acceleration and WebGL/Three.js or Babylon.js frameworks for fluid interactivity

Intuitive User Controls for Bracket Placement & 3D Rotation
・Drag-and-drop bracket placement with snap-to-tooth-surface logic
・Multi-axis rotation using gesture or mouse wheel controls, including preset angle buttons (front, top, side)
・Enable undo/redo history for bracket adjustments
