Benefits of technology

[0005]The disclosure presents dental and orthodontic appliances to promote and aid in developing symmetry and/or aesthetically pleasing facial structures in adults and children through remodeling, support, and expansion in one or more directions. In certain embodiments, a dental appliance can provide for controlled movement in multiple directions (planes) for dental structure movement in adults and children.

Problems solved by technology

For example, in children and young adults once “permanent” or adult teeth have replaced “baby” teeth, the teeth may be out of alignment, compacted, and co-located too close together.
While expanders provide adequate lateral movement to provide spacing between teeth, no adequate technology exists for providing frontward (anterior) movement, vertical (downward or upw

Abstract

Dental apparatus, systems, and methods for providing anterior, lateral, and vertical movement, an apparatus including a posterior portion to be affixed to and supported by a posterior dental structure of a patient; and an anterior portion connected to and separable from the posterior portion, the anterior portion operable to provide anterior movement, lateral movement, and vertical movement to an anterior dental structure of the patient.

Description

PRIORITY[0001]This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 871,424, filed Jul. 8, 2019, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUNDField[0002]Embodiments of the disclosure relate to insertable and adjustable dental expander devices. In particular, embodiments of the disclosure relate to insertable and adjustable dental expander devices to provide anterior, vertical, and / or anterior-lateral movement to teeth, a jawline, and / or palate for promoting aesthetically pleasing facial and / or dental structures.Description of the Related Art[0003]Dental expander devices are known, and generally expand outwardly in the lateral direction over time to provide spacing between teeth which lack proper spacing between them. For example, in children and young adults once “permanent” or adult teeth have replaced “baby” teeth, the teeth may be out of alignment, compacted, and co-located too close together. Prior to an orthodontist applying bra...
