Section-by-section lengths and source pages
The title/abstract/front matter precede the first numbered heading. A span ends at the next detected top-level heading, not at the last sentence; end-page whitespace is included. References and statements are listed separately. These are not measurements of text-only or artwork area.

Argument and organization
- 1 Introduction; 2 Related Work; 3 Preliminaries
Motivates explicit teeth as a missing controllable facial component and defines inherited face/dental priors.
- 4 Method
Combines mesh/SDF representations and jaw rigging, then introduces semantic matching, contact and occlusion-aware fitting.
- 5 Experiments; 6 Limitation; 7 Conclusion
Separates two-stage phone capture, synthetic geometry evaluation, reconstruction/tracking comparisons and component-specific failures.
Problem, claim and contribution
The accessible device claim is paired with a specific acquisition protocol rather than implying arbitrary casual video reconstructs all dental anatomy.
Sections 1 and 5, physical pp.1–2,5 · Main paper
Argument and section order
Representation adaptation and anatomical rigging precede losses, explaining why meshes serve rendering while SDFs serve collision tests.
Sections 4.1–4.2, pp.3–5 · Main paper
Figures, captions and visual explanation
The overview places mesh and SDF roles on separate branches, and later ablations pair visible teeth/lip failures with the removed loss or occlusion strategy.
Figure 2, p.4; Figures 5–7, p.8 · Main paper
Tables, comparisons and evidence
The main comparison separates performance capture from static shape reconstruction; geometry error is evaluated on synthetic visible-teeth regions, while mask overlap checks alignment over frames.
Table 1 and Table 2, p.8; Sections 5.2–5.4, pp.6–8 · Main paper
Appendix and reproducibility
The paper repeatedly directs temporal performance and additional results to a supplementary video, which was not viewed; static page inspection does not establish temporal stability.
Sections 5 and 5.2, pp.5–6 · Main paper
Clarity and writing conventions
The preprocessing explicitly describes manual per-tooth clicks for SAM2 propagation and the limitation returns to dependence on segmentation quality.
Section 5, p.6; Section 6, p.8 · Main paper
What to reuse—and what not to infer
Transferable lesson: For accessible capture systems, disclose user interaction, calibration and optimization time, and separate synthetic geometric truth from real qualitative demonstrations.
Boundary: Four phone-captured participants and synthetic visible-teeth metrics do not establish clinical dental reconstruction accuracy. The pipeline uses learned dental/face priors, manual segmentation and lengthy optimization; smartphone input alone does not mean fully automatic or real-time processing.
Apply this lesson using the argument and evidence worksheet.
