Arch Wires TRIZ Cases
- Self-Ligating Bracket Hinge Pin Elastic Deformation
Elastic deformation of the hinge pin cross-section biases the latch, resolving complexity trade-offs in self-ligating orthodontic brackets.
- Self-Ligating Orthodontic Bracket With Elastic Locking Clip
A self-ligating orthodontic bracket uses an elastic locking clip to secure the archwire within the slot.
- Adjustable Orthodontic Bracket Archwire Slot Orientation Control
Electronic adjustment tool detects and displays archwire slot orientation in orthodontic brackets for precise positioning.
- Orthodontic Archwire with Integral Stressing Elements
Integral stressing elements on the arch wire enable direct force application to specific teeth, eliminating lever action on adjacent structures.
- Monolithic Orthodontic Tool for Elastic Band Placement
A monolithic orthodontic tool with guide grooves secures elastic bands for precise placement over dental brace hooks.
- Self-Ligating Bracket with Dual-Function Spring Pin
A self-ligating orthodontic bracket uses a dual-function spring pin to secure the movable member.
- Orthodontic Appliance Shape Memory Monobloc Element
A monobloc element transitions between stable shapes using shape memory alloys or hydrogels to exert controlled force on teeth.
- 3D Printed Orthodontic Appliances via Digital Scanning
A 3D printer unit fabricates orthodontic appliances directly from intraoral scanner data within a dental practice.
- Orthodontic Post and Pin Assembly for Wire-Mounted Appliance Adjustment
Segmenting the appliance from the wire via an intermediary pin-slot mechanism eliminates full disassembly, reducing treatment time during size adjustments.
- Orthodontic Base Member with Non-Collinear Engagement Holes
A base member uses non-collinear engagement holes to secure polygonal-columnar screw heads for stable orthodontic attachment.
- Dental Band Device with Deflector Pushbutton
Deflector pushbuttons apply pressure to change band geometry into a conical shape, resolving the trade-off between simple structure and adaptable fit.
- Orthodontic Bracket with Movable Auxiliary Tool Attachment
A bracket body integrates a ring-shaped auxiliary tool attachment portion with an opening and closing mechanism for secure wire passage.
- Orthodontic Bracket Guide Groove Clip Retention
Positioning a guide groove below the archwire slot enables large insertion angles without increasing bracket height, preventing unintended clip detachment.
- Superelastic Orthodontic Ligature for Bracket Retention
A nitinol ligature reduces friction and prevents decalcification by maintaining retention under constant stress.
