Description
Return signed tooth-arch coordinate relative to a midline offset.
Anatomical diagrams and idealized models require explicit coordinate origins, axes, dimensions and indexing conventions. Translations, vector projections and simple shape formulas describe supplied geometry rather than identifying actual anatomy or determining a medical finding. A scaled drawing or ideal branching tree needs separate anatomical verification.
Return signed tooth-arch coordinate relative to a midline offset.
When to use this tool
Use Tooth Position Midline Signed Coordinate when checking the stated diagram, coordinate, vector or ideal-shape convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter archDistance, side, midlineOffset. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read signedCoordinate. Use the output convention below.
Return signed tooth-arch coordinate relative to a midline offset. Require archDistance >= 0 and left/right label; signedCoordinate = offset-distance on left, offset+distance on right.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| archDistance | Arch Distance | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| side | Side | Required. Text; one of "left", "right"; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| midlineOffset | Midline Offset | Required. Finite number. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| signedCoordinate | Signed Coordinate | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The handedness and reference are supplied; no tooth identity, dental geometry or clinical conclusion is inferred.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use verified anatomical measurements and an appropriate complete spatial model; consult qualified health professionals for actual medical interpretation.
