Problems solved by technology

Repeated rough movements of the tiny movable parts of the stent (attached or disconnected) relative to the body of the stent are disadvantageous because fatigue may result, leading to microcracks or fractures, with the result that aspiration or ingestion of the stent material by the patient may occur in a minor manner. Part of the danger
This can be catastrophic and although the risk is relatively small, it can be life threatening to the patient

Embodiment Construction

[0041] refer to figure 1 , 2 , shows a side view and a front view of one embodiment of the invention. It can be seen that the present invention provides an orthodontic appliance such as a brace 1 having an integrally formed narrowing 2 adjacent the archwire slot 3 . The narrowing 2 may be provided as a strip substantially along the length of the slot 3 and / or only at one or more points near the slot 3 . The narrowing 2 may also provide one or more points or sections along the depth of the groove 3 .

[0042] According to the present invention, the extent of the narrowing may be used to determine the force required to install and remove from the implement slot and / or adjust the archwire in the implement slot.

[0043] In another aspect, the invention also provides a kinematic inversion of the above aspect, wherein the orthodontic appliance has an integrally formed enlargement proximate the archwire slot. The enlargement may be provided as a strip substantially along the len...
