# Orthodontic Condition Classifier

A ResNet18-based image classification model trained to detect orthodontic conditions from dental photos.

## Model Details

- **Architecture**: ResNet18
- **Input Size**: 512x512 RGB images
- **Output**: 8 orthodontic condition classes
- **Test Accuracy**: 72.73%

## Classes

1. Crossbite
2. Crowding
3. Deepbite
4. No Treatment Needed
5. Open Bite
6. Overbite
7. Spacing
8. Underbite

## Usage

```python
import torch
from torchvision import transforms, models
from PIL import Image

# Load model
model = models.resnet18(weights=None)
model.fc = torch.nn.Linear(model.fc.in_features, 8)
state_dict = torch.load("pytorch_model.pth", map_location="cpu")
model.load_state_dict(state_dict)
model.eval()

# Preprocess image
transform = transforms.Compose([
    transforms.Resize((512, 512)),
    transforms.ToTensor(),
    transforms.Normalize([0.485, 0.456, 0.406], [0.229, 0.224, 0.225])
])

image = Image.open("dental_photo.jpg").convert("RGB")
input_tensor = transform(image).unsqueeze(0)

# Predict
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(input_tensor)
    probabilities = torch.nn.functional.softmax(outputs, dim=1)
    predicted_class = torch.argmax(probabilities, dim=1).item()
```

## Training Data

Trained on a custom dataset of dental photographs labeled by orthodontic condition.

## Limitations

- This model is for screening purposes only and should not replace professional orthodontic evaluation
- Accuracy may vary based on image quality and lighting conditions
- Best results with clear, well-lit frontal photos of teeth
