1. A method comprising:
receiving image data of a dental arch from an image capture device associated with an augmented reality (AR) display;
processing, by a processing device, the image data using a plurality of detection rules, where each detection rule of the plurality of detection rules detects one or more dental conditions;
determining, by the processing device, a dental condition for the dental arch based on the processing;
determining, by the processing device, a position of an area of interest on the dental arch, wherein the area of interest is associated with the dental condition;
generating, by the processing device, a visual overlay comprising an indication of the dental condition at the position of the area of interest; and
outputting the visual overlay to the AR display, wherein the visual overlay is superimposed over a view of the dental arch on the AR display at the position of the area of interest.
