摘要： A packaged assembly includes a container with a chamber and an orthodontic appliance received in the chamber. The assembly also includes a quantity of orthodontic adhesive material that is received on a release surface in the chamber. The appliance is detachably mounted on a support and is relatively movable when desired in order to bring a base of the appliance into contact with the adhesive material for transfer of the adhesive material to the appliance.

摘要： A prescription for an orthodontic brace is selected by providing data representing a number of teeth of the dental arch and by displaying images of the teeth in two or more different positions. Images of at least one tooth when in the first position and when in the second position are simultaneously displayed in superimposed fashion, and any difference in orientations of the displayed tooth images between the first position and the second position appears in contrast. As a consequence, the relative difference in positions can be readily observed. The invention is particularly useful for selecting a prescription of a brace from two or more prescriptions, and is also useful for observing the relative effect of a single prescription when used on certain teeth in comparison to the position of the same teeth during an earlier stage of treatment.
摘要翻译：通过提供表示牙弓数量的数据并且通过在两个或更多个不同位置显示牙齿的图像来选择正畸支架的处方。在第一位置和第二位置的同时以叠加方式显示至少一个齿的图像，并且与第一位置和第二位置之间显示的齿图像的取向方向上的任何差别都出现了对比。因此，可以容易地观察到位置的相对差异。本发明对于从两个或多个处方中选择支具的处方特别有用，并且在用于某些牙齿时观察单个处方的相对效果与在同一个牙齿的较早阶段期间与相同牙齿的位置相比是有用的治疗。

摘要： Techniques are described for using radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags to track patient-specific materials throughout the manufacturing of indirect bonding trays. A series of RFID tags may be used to track the patient-specific material starting with the taking of a patient's impression at a clinic within a dental impression tray, through the process of casting and forming the indirect bonding tray at a manufacturing facility, back into the clinic where the appliances are bonded to the patient's teeth, and eventually into storage where the left-over materials may be archived. A database may be used to capture unique identifiers for the RFID tags and other information throughout the process.

摘要： An orthodontic appliance such as a bracket or buccal tube has a latch for retaining an archwire in an archwire slot. The latch releases the archwire from the archwire slot whenever the archwire exerts a force on the appliance that exceeds a certain minimum value. The minimum value is less than about one-half of the force required in the same direction to debond the appliance from the tooth, and thus reduces the likelihood that the appliance will unintentionally debond from the tooth during the course of orthodontic treatment.
摘要翻译：诸如支架或口腔管的矫正器具具有用于将弓丝保持在弓丝槽中的闩锁。每当弓丝在设备上施加超过一定最小值的力时，闩锁将从弓丝插槽释放弓丝。最小值小于同一方向从牙齿脱离器具所需的力的大约一半，从而降低了矫正治疗过程中器具将无意中脱离牙齿的可能性。

摘要： An orthodontic assembly includes one or more orthodontic appliances that are releasably received in a carrier. The carrier has arms with outer end sections that are spaced apart from each other to present a channel therebetween. The outer end sections of the arms are received in recesses of each appliance in order to support the appliance in suspended relation. The carrier is particularly useful for holding appliances during a manufacturing operation or during transport of the appliances from manufacturing operation to another. The carrier is also useful for supporting appliances in a package for shipment to the end user, especially when the appliances are precoated with a layer of adhesive.

摘要： Bond strengths of orthodontic appliances are enhanced by applying heat to heat softenable projections of a bonding base of the appliance, and then moving outer portions of the projections in lateral directions to present overhanging regions. The overhanging regions provide undercut areas that mechanically interlock with adhesive when the appliance is bonded to a tooth and the adhesive hardens. The method is useful for plastic appliances as well as other appliances that are made of materials exhibiting thermoplastic characteristics during at least one phase of their manufacture.
摘要翻译：通过将热量施加到器具的接合基座的可加温软化的突起上，然后在横向方向上移动突出部分的外侧部分以提供悬垂的区域来增强矫正器具的粘结强度。突出区域在器具结合到牙齿上并且粘合剂硬化时提供与粘合剂机械互锁的底切区域。该方法对于在其制造的至少一个阶段期间具有热塑性特性的材料制成的塑料电器以及其他电器是有用的。

摘要： A computer implemented method includes providing a first set of digital data corresponding to an upper arch image of at least a portion of an upper dental arch of a patient, providing a second set of digital data corresponding to a lower arch image of at least a portion of a lower dental arch of the patient, providing bite alignment data representative of the spatial relationship between the upper dental arch and the lower dental arch of the patient, and aligning the upper and lower arch images relative to one another based on the bite alignment data until an aligned upper and lower arch image is attained. The aligned upper and lower arch images are moved towards each other until a first contact point is detected and at least one of the upper and lower arch images is moved relative to the other in one or more directions to a plurality of positions for determining optimal occlusion position of the lower and upper dental arches.

摘要： A computer implemented method of creating a dental model for use in dental articulation includes providing a first set of digital data corresponding to an upper arch image of at least a portion of an upper dental arch of a patient, providing a second set of digital data corresponding to a lower arch image of at least a portion of a lower dental arch of the patient, and providing hinge axis data representative of the spatial orientation of at least one of the upper and lower dental arches relative to a condylar axis of the patient. A reference hinge axis is created relative to the upper and lower arch images based on the hinge axis data. Further, the method may include bite alignment data for use in aligning the lower and upper arch images. Yet further, the method may include providing data associated with condyle geometry of the patient, so as to provide limitations on the movement of at least the lower arch image when the arch images are displayed. Further, a wobbling technique may be used to determine an occlusal position of the lower and upper dental arches. Various computer implemented methods of dental articulation are also described. For example, such dental articulation methods may include moving at least one of the upper and lower arch images to simulate relative movement of one of the upper and lower dental arches of the patient, may include displaying another image with the upper and lower dental arches of the dental articulation model, and/or may include playing back recorded motion of a patient's mandible using the dental articulation model.
摘要翻译：创建用于牙科关节的牙科模型的计算机实现方法包括提供对应于患者的上牙弓的至少一部分的上拱形图像的第一组数字数据，提供对应于第二组数字数据的第二组数字数据到达患者的下牙弓的至少一部分的较低拱形图像，并且提供表示上部和下部牙弓中的至少一个相对于患者的髁轴线的空间取向的铰链轴数据。基于铰链轴数据，相对于上下拱形图像创建参考铰链轴。此外，该方法可以包括用于对准下部和上部拱形图像的咬合对准数据。此外，该方法可以包括提供与患者的髁几何相关联的数据，以便当显示拱形图像时对至少下弓形图像的移动提供限制。此外，可以使用摆动技术来确定下牙弓和上牙弓的咬合位置。还描述了各种计算机实现的牙科关节的方法。例如，这种牙科关节法可以包括移动上部和下部弓形图像中的至少一个以模拟患者的上部和下部牙弓之一的相对运动，可以包括将另一个图像与上部和下部牙弓牙科关节模型和/或可以包括使用牙科关节模型回放患者下颌骨的记录运动。

摘要： An orthodontic pin has a high strength intermediate section that resists bending in use, as well as a softer, more compliant outer end section. The softer outer end section can be readily bent in an arc for attachment to an orthodontic appliance or device. The coupling pin of the invention may be used to couple one orthodontic appliance or device to another, or alternatively may be part of an orthodontic device that is ultimately coupled to another device or appliance.
