1. A computer-implemented method for interactive digital orthodontic treatment planning executed by a processor, said method comprising:
i. receiving in a processor, a digital representation of an initial patient dentition;
ii. generating a proposed dentition model, the proposed dentition model being associated with information relating to a proposed interproximal reduction;
iii. generating a simplified two-dimensional digital representation of the initial patient dentition and of the proposed dentition model, each said simplified two-dimensional digital representation including only an outline of each tooth and a length of the tooth in the mesial-distal direction;
iv. displaying within a first region of a graphic user interface the simplified two-dimensional digital representation of the proposed dentition model superimposed on the simplified two-dimensional digital representation of the initial patient dentition;
v. simultaneously with iv, displaying within the graphic user interface one or more numerical values corresponding to the proposed interproximal reduction, and one or more user-engageable interface elements configured for modifying one or more characteristics of the proposed dentition model in real time, the characteristics being selected from a list consisting of: an arch form, anteroposterior correction, overjet correction, transverse dimension, and midline;
vi. receiving, via user engagement with one of the user-engageable interface elements of the graphic user-interface, user-directed modification to one or more of the arch form, anteroposterior correction, overjet correction, transverse dimension, midline, or the interproximal reduction of the proposed dentition model, and displaying, in real time and within the first region of the graphic user interface, a resulting simplified two-dimensional digital representation of a user-modified dentition model, superimposed on the simplified two-dimensional digital representation of the initial patient dentition;
vii. receiving, via the graphic user-interface, a user selection of a specific user-modified dentition model selected from one or more user-modified dentition models generated by step vi; and
viii. generating a digital orthodontic treatment plan based on the specific user-modified dentition model.
