Abstract: A mold includes a main body and a separable feature. One or more first weakened regions join the separable feature to the main body. The one or more first weakened regions are breakable to enable the main body to be removed from a shell independently of the separable feature after the shell is formed over the mold. The main body includes a first section and a second section that are at least partially separable at one or more second weakened regions to enable the first section to be removed from the shell independently of the second section after the shell is formed over the mold.

Abstract: A dental apparatus may include a removable orthodontic appliance having a buccal side and a lingual side and may include tooth cavities shaped to reposition one or more teeth of a patient. The dental appliance may also include a repositioning jaw element extending from the buccal or lingual side of the removable orthodontic appliance and a reinforcement member formed along at least one of a lingual side surface or a buccal side surface to reinforce the repositioning jaw element. The reinforcement member may include a channel extending in a gingival-occlusal direction across an occlusal surface of the tooth apertures of the shell. The channel may be open to an interior cavity of the repositioning jaw element.

Abstract: A dental attachment placement device comprises a plurality of articulated registration elements shaped for placement on a plurality of teeth, which can facilitate placement, accommodate tooth movement, and improve alignment of the registration elements with the teeth, so as to accurately position an attachment for placement. The plurality of registration elements may comprise one or more attachment supports and one or more retention supports extending from the plurality of registration elements. A dental attachment can be removably coupled to the attachment support. The plurality of registration elements and attachment supports may be located on opposing sides of one or more teeth in order to maintain placement prior to adhering the attachment to the tooth. In some embodiments, each of the plurality of registration elements comprises a tooth registration surface shaped to engage the tooth with a specific position and orientation for accurate positioning of the attachment.
