1. A method for electronically generating a color dental occlusion map within electronic model images on a computing device including a processor and memory, the method comprising: obtaining an electronic model of an upper set of teeth and a lower set of teeth from the memory of the computing device, the upper and lower sets of teeth being represented by opposing polygonal meshes, each polygonal mesh including a plurality of triangles, a first one of the polygonal meshes is configured to pivot at a point of rotation relative to a second one of the polygonal meshes, wherein at least one point on each triangle of the first polygonal mesh travels through a respective series of points that defines an arc of motion when the first polygonal mesh pivots relative to the second polygonal mesh; manipulating a spatial separation between the first polygonal mesh and the second polygonal mesh by instructing the processor of the computing device to pivot the first polygonal mesh at the point of rotation; for at least one point on each triangle of the first polygonal mesh, instructing the processor to calculate a separation distance to an opposing point on one of the triangles of the second polygonal mesh, the distance being determined by the processor at least partially based on the arc of motion along which the respective point of the first polygonal mesh travels; for each triangle in the first polygonal mesh, instructing the processor to paint the triangle of the first polygonal mesh a color corresponding to the respective separation distance between the point on the triangle and the corresponding opposing point on the second polygonal mesh; and wherein manipulating the spatial separation changes the separation distances between the points of the first polygonal mesh and the corresponding opposing points of the second polygonal mesh.
