Abstract: A method may include generating a model of an orthodontic appliance having a shell having teeth receiving cavities shaped to receive and reposition the patient's teeth. At least one of the cavities may be shaped to apply a resilient repositioning force to move at least one of the patient's teeth from a current arrangement toward a target arrangement. The method may include forming a ridge on the at least one of the cavities having a width and a length greater than the width. The ridge may be configured to apply at least a portion of the resilient repositioning force to the at least one of the patient's teeth. The method may also include modeling the orthodontic appliance with the ridge on the patient's teeth and modifying a portion of the shell to compensate for modeled contact of the portion of the shell with the at least one patient's tooth.

Abstract: A series of orthodontic aligners may be produced by a process including receiving a first position of at least one tooth of a patient for a first treatment stage of plurality of orthodontic treatment stages, determining a movement vector magnitude and direction for moving the at least one tooth from the first position towards a second position, analyzing a surface of the at least one tooth of the patient based on the determined movement vector, designing a first orthodontic aligner of the series of orthodontic aligners based on the analysis of the surface of the at least one tooth of the patient so that a physical orthodontic aligner, when in position on teeth of the patient at the first treatment stage, moves the at least one tooth from the first position towards the second position along the determined movement vector, and fabricating the physical orthodontic aligner.

Abstract: A series of patient-customized orthodontic aligners may be produced by a process including receiving a digital model of a patient's tooth, determining a force system for eliciting a tooth movement, and designing a patient-customized attachment configured to engage at least one of the series of patient-customized orthodontic aligners when worn by a patient and apply a repositioning force to the patient's tooth corresponding to the force system. The process may also include designing the at least one of the patient-customized orthodontic aligners to engage the patient-customized attachment when worn by the patient, the at least one of the patient-customized orthodontic aligners having a shape customized responsive to the attachment, the digital model and the force system. The process may also include fabricating the series of patient-customized orthodontic aligners including the at least one of the patient-customized orthodontic aligners.

Abstract: A method of attachment design may include placing a virtual attachment having a shape at a location on a virtual tooth, generating attachment shape parameters for the virtual attachment, and determining whether the virtual attachment at the location and having the shape generates a solution that results in a desired movement of the virtual tooth for a stage of treatment in a treatment plan. The method may also include modifying, based on the determining, the shape of the virtual attachment or the location of the virtual attachment.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems including orthodontic tooth positioning appliances. An exemplary appliance can include teeth receiving cavities shaped such that, when worn by a patient, repositioning the patient's teeth from a first arrangement toward a subsequent or target arrangement. Appliances can include a cavity having one or more shaped features or protrusions shaped and/or positioned so as to apply a desired force to a patient's tooth received in the cavity and move the tooth along a desired path or direction.
