Embodiment Construction

[0129] As previously discussed, conventional fixed orthodontic components are aesthetically undesirable; create difficulties for the user in maintaining good oral hygiene; and do not provide for selective application of force on a particular tooth or set of teeth The precision and customization required. As previously mentioned, one of the inherent disadvantages of existing removable aligners relates to the difficulty of manufacture and the limitations associated with exerting force on the teeth. Accordingly, it is desirable to use removable orthodontic components that are not uniform in their configuration and in the force they exert on the teeth. Such removable orthodontic components offer an aesthetic alternative to fixed orthodontic components in that they can be removed from the oral cavity to allow proper oral hygiene care or within a limited period of time of the user's aesthetic preference (e.g. , when attending a formal event) is removed. When configured with a univ...

Abstract

The orthodontic assembly is used in a user's mouth to facilitate tooth movement. The orthodontic assembly includes an interchangeable clip member configured to be removably affixed to a frame member such that the clip member engages at least one of the user's teeth. The orthodontic assembly further includes a frame member configured to be removably positioned proximate the lingual portion of user's teeth. The frame member includes a fastening mechanism configured to cooperatively engage the clip member such that the clip member may be removably affixed to the frame member.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a novel orthodontic component. More particularly, the present invention relates to an orthodontic assembly of general construction comprising replaceable and flexible components for inducing tooth movement, occlusal correction and / or tooth position maintenance while providing enhanced user comfort. Background technique [0002] Traditional orthodontic treatment usually consists of fixed or removable components. Typically, the fixation component is bonded or bonded directly to the user's teeth, and the wires are inserted into the brackets of the component and secured using elastic cords. The wires are usually bendable and may twist during installation and adjustment by the installer, usually a specialist or dentist. [0003] When the wire is adjusted to its original shape, the wire exerts a force on the connected tooth or teeth, which causes the tooth to move. In general, the forces exerted on the teeth by f...
