An important preliminary procedure in automated orthodontics is the precise segmentation of the teeth from the 3D model of the jaw, which should include as few manual operations as possible. Motivated by ultramodern general methods of mesh segmentation, which have adopted the theory of harmonic field to identify segments, this article investigates a new, aimed at dentistry structure of dental mesh segmentation. Thanks to a specially designed weighing scheme and a priori knowledge strategy for managing harmonic constraints, this method can effectively determine the boundaries of the teeth.
