    Abstract: A dental appliance may include a first plurality of tooth receiving cavities for anterior teeth and a first plurality of attachment receiving cavities shaped to impart a first plurality of forces and a first counter moment to the anterior teeth, the first plurality of forces being to direct at least one tooth in a posterior direction. The dental appliance may include a second plurality of tooth receiving cavities for posterior teeth and a second plurality of attachment receiving cavities to impart a second plurality of forces and a second counter moment the posterior teeth, the second counter moment being in a direction opposing the first counter moment. At least a portion of the second plurality of forces may be configured to oppose the first plurality of forces. The first counter moment and the second counter moment may be configured to be coupled to form a differential moment.

    Abstract: A set of primer appliances and a set of treatment appliances to be worn by a subject are provided. The primer appliances are first worn to prepare the local environment of the teeth for further repositioning of the teeth by the treatment appliances. The primer appliances may apply compression to the periodontal ligament, in a direction favorable for achieving the desired final position of a tooth. The compression may generate a biological response in the local environment of the teeth. The primer appliances may cause minimal or no repositioning of the teeth. The treatment appliances are worn to reposition the teeth from an initial position to an end positon of a treatment stage. The primer appliances can improve the efficiency and accuracy of tooth movement by the treatment appliances.
