Preformed shell cavities and aligned wire guides improve dental wire placement accuracy while simplifying long-term tooth retention.

Guide plates, a bracket slit, and a bush constrain orthodontic wire exposure, preventing z-axis bending and improving bending precision.

Varying cellular stiffness in 3D-printed intraoral appliances enables non-linear force control, better tooth movement, and less discomfort.

Preformed shell cavities and wire guides improve orthodontic wire placement accuracy while simplifying retainer attachment and removal.

Digital light processing enables in-office ceramic bracket fabrication with accurate fit and placement, reducing adjustment errors and treatment time.

Adaptive cellular regions tune force, stiffness, and elongation in intraoral appliances to improve tooth movement and reduce discomfort.

Guide plates, a slit bracket, and an eccentric pin minimize wire exposure to prevent z-axis bending and improve x-y plane forming precision.

Patient-specific tooth scans and DLP fabrication enable in-office ceramic brackets with accurate placement, fewer errors, and shorter treatment.

Laser-cut shape memory alloy retainer geometry improves tooth contact, resists deformation, and reduces discomfort and plaque buildup.

A tooth-shaped shell with wire slots and adhesive reservoirs improves wire placement precision and long-term retention after treatment.

A guided exit beyond the rotation center enables precise 3D archwire bending while reducing gripper wear, surface defects, and fatigue.

Adaptive cellular regions tune stiffness and elongation in intraoral appliances to deliver nonlinear force profiles with better tooth movement control.

A modular wire feeding, bending, and cutting setup improves orthodontic wire shape accuracy while avoiding the cost and complexity of bending robots.

Built-in gears and springs move the bracket along the archwire for targeted tooth force without external elastics, reducing adjustments and hygiene issues.

A one-piece bracket uses a guide bulge and lateral tabs to hold the archwire securely without ligatures, simplifying minor and lingual treatments.

A pre-fabricated shell with tooth cavities and adhesive reservoirs positions retainer wire accurately, simplifying bonding and improving long-term stability.
