    摘要: An orthodontic bracket with an adjustable hook designed to facilitate bending. The orthodontic bracket includes a bracket body mountable to a tooth and an adjustable hook extending from the bracket body, the adjustable hook comprising a stem base structure a bend region extending from the stem base structure, a neck region extending from the bend region, and a head extending from the neck region. In some embodiments, the adjustable hook has a length, L1, measured from a bottom portion of the stem base structure to the head, and a length, L2, measured from a bottom portion of the neck region of the hook stem to a free end of the head, wherein L2 is greater than or equal to 60% of L1.

    摘要: A magnetic removable orthodontic assembly for moving selected teeth of a patient includes metal engagement plates that are fixed in place in alignment with the selected teeth. A series of wire guides that contain magnets are contacted to the selected teeth by way of engagement with the teeth engagement plates. The engagement plates have first engagement members that engage complementary-shaped second engagement members on the wire guides in a removable fashion. The wire guides are mounted in a pattern to an archwire. The wire guides may be disengaged from their corresponding engagement plates so that the wearer of the appliance can remove and re-engage the device when necessary without having an orthodontist do it.

    摘要: In one aspect, the present invention is directed to an orthodontic bracket, comprising: a vertical bore; a bendable drop-in hook threaded into the vertical bore; and an annular magnetic object, in which the drop-in hook is threaded into. In another aspect, the present invention is directed to an orthodontic braces arrangement, comprising: at least two distant brackets, each installed on a different jaw of a user; and each of the distant brackets having at least one annular magnetic object secured thereto by a bendable drop-in hook; wherein a distance between magnetic objects of one bracket and another bracket is less than 2 mm; thereby providing intermaxillary attraction or propulsion force, depending on a polarity orientation of the magnetic objects.

    摘要: A pocket orthodontic bonding pad for attaching orthodontic attachments to teeth wherein the orthodontic attachment is mechanically secured within a bonding pad pocket with a design that allows a slight buffering flexibility under masticatory stress and ease of removal of the orthodontic attachment. Upon removal of locking tabs the orthodontic attachment may be removed with minimal force, and the remaining bonding pad polished from the teeth with ease, which is most advantageous for brackets that tend to break upon removal and create high stress forces upon tooth structure. The ease of removing orthodontic attachments allows maximum bonding strengths.
