    摘要: A two-part orthodontic appliance having a pedestal which is relatively permanently attached to a tooth, as by direct bonding or by a tooth band, and a bracket which is firmly but removably secured to the pedestal. A wide variety of lug configurations may be provided on the bracket, so that the appropriate bracket may be selected for the particular patient and tooth in question, as the orthodontic treatment proceeds over the weeks and months. The bracket may be readily replaced with one of another configuration to accommodate the changing forces that are needed to bring about the orthodontic correction. The bracket is secured to the pedestal by a locking member or detent formed from the bracket, which snaps into place over a detent edge formed on the pedestal. Removal of the bracket from the pedestal is accomplished by forcing the locking member back over the edge, and sliding the bracket off the pedestal.

    摘要: Attachment of an orthodontic appliance by direct bonding to a tooth utilizing a composite base with a porous tooth-abutting face and various methods for making the device, such as casting as a unitary structure, or forming the composite base by rolling a mesh, in strip form, so as to form flats on at least one surface of the mesh where the mesh is to be in contact with a solid base portion, then bonding the mesh to the base. In the latter embodiment, the metal base is a metal foil to which the appliance is attached and the mesh and foil form a composite strip, from which individual composite pads are formed.

    摘要: A process for making orthodontic assemblies such as brackets and buccal tubes which permits simultaneous heat treating of the assembly while brazing the assembly together. The process consists of assembling a plurality of aligned bases with caps and a brazing insert. The caps are then tack welded (temporarily fastened) to the bases to produce a strip of orthodontic assemblies which can be easily handled. The strips are then heat treated to a brazing temperature in a specified atmosphere. The individual orthodontic assemblies are either automatically separated during the heat treatment or may be easily separated by cutting after removal from the furnace. The bases and caps for the buccal tube assemblies are of a unique design which is readily adaptable to the multiple strip brazing process.

    摘要: A method by which an orthodontic appliance is automatically designed and manufactured from digital lower jaw and tooth shape data of a patient provides for the scanning of the mouth of a patient to produce a three-dimensional digitized model of the shapes of the patient's teeth and their positions in the patient's mouth. The appliance is automatically designed according to the final design, which also can be interactively modified and approved by the orthodontist, with the computer recalculating the effects on the treatment as a result of the doctor's changes. Brackets are fabricated as an integrated set, either by cutting slots therein or by building the brackets in layers. Three-dimensional custom jigs are automatically made to exactly position the brackets on a patient's teeth.

    摘要: Computer-implemented methods to plan, display and evaluate orthodontic treatment plans. A plurality of teeth in a representation on a computer display may be moved simultaneously in accordance with a mathematically defined pattern. Software tools available to generate the treatment path may include adjusting the smile teeth, moving teeth along a curve fit to points in the mandible, individually moving a tooth, cross sectioning to check for interference and simulations of occlusal points, highlighting teeth that have moved from their original position, making notations on the teeth, and generating and saving animation sequences of before and after treatment tooth positions.

    摘要: A system and method by which an orthodontic appliance is automatically designed and manufactured from digital lower jaw and tooth shape data of a patient provides for preferably scanning a model of the patient's mouth to produce two or three dimensional images and digitizing contours and selected points. A computer is programmed to construct archforms and calculate finish positions of the teeth, then to design an appliance, preferably including archwires and brackets, to move the teeth to the calculated positions. The lower teeth are positioned at their roots on an arch defined by the lower jaw bone, and the arch is modified to best fit the tooth tips on a smooth curve. Upper archforms are constructed for the upper teeth. Then, machine code is generated and appliances are automatically produced that will straighten the teeth of the patient. Custom placement jigs are also automatically designed and fabricated and are provided with the custom appliance to position the appliance on the patient's teeth.

    摘要: An orthodontic bracket, preferably in the form of a buccal tube, is provided for connecting an orthodontic archwire to each mandibular first molar of a patient. The bracket has an archwire groove oriented to maintain the archwire at a positive rotation angle relative to the point on the surface of the molar at which the bracket is connected. The rotation angle is preferably approximately 2.degree. for Caucasian patients and approximately 4.degree. for Asian patients. The groove, while inclined to a positive (distal) rotation angle of greater than zero, may additionally be inclined mesially relative to the wire to account for smaller cross-sectional dimensions of the wire relative to the groove. In making a custom orthodontic appliance, a computer designs such buccal tubes with the grooves rotated to an angle optimally calculated for the patient. In the custom method, based on digitized tooth shape date for the patient, the embrasure of the upper first molars are placed perpendicular to an archform to occupy the least space on the arch, and the mesial buccal cusp and disto lingual cusp of each lower first molar is placed on a line coinciding with a line through the mesial marginal ridge and disto lingual groove of the upper first molar.

    摘要: Coordinated orthodontic archwires are provided based on a method of designing custom orthodontic appliances based in individual patient anatomy and, based on a plurality of such custom designs, designing and manufacturing a standardized appliance for patients of average dental anatomy. From such method, a relationship is established for coordinating one archwire to another of any given design. The coordinated archwires so provided include an upper archwire that is an expansion of a lower archwire, and in addition, when the shapes of the archwires are superimposed, are spaced apart more in the vicinity of the cuspids and first bicuspids than in the vicinity of the incisors and, preferably, also the second bicuspids. The spacing difference is at least 0.005 inches, particularly for an appliance with low profile brackets, and is up to 0.025 or 0.035 inches for an appliance with the more conventional brackets. The spacings are determined as a function of the length of the wire from the midline of the wire.
