AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes methods for creating an orthodontic device called a bite regulator that helps adjust the position of the teeth in someone's mouth. One technique involves putting a front band on either side of the person's upper or lower molars, which are located at the back of the mouth. Another approach includes making a front band between the left and right molars, with these segments stopping just before another set of molars towards the back of the mouth. In both cases, this allows for better control over how the dentist moves the patient's teeth during treatment.

Problems solved by technology

This patent discusses various types of mouthguards and other appliances designed to be used during physical activities. These devices come with advantages and drawbacks depending on their design and materials. The technical problem addressed in this patent is how to create a mouthguard that takes into consideration the unique needs and characteristics of each individual user, including their jaw position and airways.
