A porous superelastic metal pad absorbs shear forces to enhance bond strength, preventing enamel damage during bracket removal.
Distinct surface textures resolve the contradiction between bonding strength and corrosion resistance in orthodontic retainers.
Curved interconnecting elements connect tooth-clasping components to provide controlled flexibility in removable orthodontic appliances.
A buccal tube features a traction hook that rotates into an internal accommodation space to form a smooth outer surface.
An osmotic orthodontic appliance uses a semipermeable membrane to deliver continuous force, resolving the discomfort of abrupt mechanical tightening.
Self-ligating orthodontic arch member utilizes varying cross-sectional geometry to deliver precise corrective forces directly to teeth.
A segmental distalization device uses elastic connectors to apply customizable forces for precise orthodontic tooth alignment.
An elastic locking piece secures the archwire in a passive self-ligating bracket, reducing friction forces and shortening orthodontic treatment cycles.
Electroplated orthodontic brackets build complex multi-material structures layer by layer without mechanical molds.
Merged one-piece orthodontic bracket eliminates assembly complexity while securing archwires through a frangible hinge that snaps closed.
A resilient orthodontic member applies continuous corrective forces to reposition teeth while a marking region displays patient-specific indicia.
Magnetic attraction replaces elastic rubber bands to eliminate food accumulation and aesthetic issues in orthodontic treatment.
A planning system validates adjacent tooth proximity before stripping requests to prevent anatomical damage.
A self-ligating orthodontic bracket uses a coplanar spring mechanism to secure the sliding door without external assembly.
A telescopic orthodontic force module uses a spring-loaded plunger to deliver adjustable corrective forces within a compact intraoral assembly.
Pivoting rotors adjust bracket slot angles to treat irregular teeth without replacing brackets.
