1. A method for analyzing an image, called “analysis image”, of a dental arch of a patient, method in which the analysis image is submitted to a neural network, in order to determine at least one value of an image attribute relating to the analysis image, the analysis image being a photograph or an image taken from a film, in which said image attribute relates to
a position or an orientation or a calibration of an acquisition apparatus used to acquire said analysis image or a combination thereof, or
a quality of the analysis image, and in particular relating to the brightness, to the contrast or to the sharpness of the analysis image,
or a combination thereof,
wherein the method comprises following steps:
a′) acquisition of the analysis image, said image being acquired by activation of a cellphone;
b′) analysis of the analysis image so as to determine the at least one value of an image attribute relating to the analysis image;
d′) comparison of said image attribute value with an instruction, step d′) being consecutive to step b′);
e′) sending of an information message as a function of said comparison;
and wherein the information message relates to the quality of the image acquired and/or to the position of the acquisition apparatus in relation to said arch and/or to the setting of the acquisition apparatus and/or to the opening of the mouth and/or to the wearing of a dental, orthodontic, appliance.
