Othrodontics TRIZ Cases
- Dual Expanding Palatal Distractor for Nonparallel Maxillary Arch Segmentation
Independent twin screws drive nonparallel expansion of anterior and posterior maxillary segments, resolving parallel-only device limitations.
- Shape-Engineered Orthodontic Appliance Cavities
Pre-distorted appliance cavities compensate for non-elastic deformation to sustain contact forces and reduce treatment time.
- Dental Vibration Device With Elastic Support And Mechanical Retention
A dental vibration device uses an elastic support layer and mechanical retention to transmit energy between teeth.
- Orthodontic Measuring Instrument for Palatal Expander Expansion
A measuring instrument with a graduated head and appendix quantifies orthodontic appliance expansion.
- Vocal Cord Closure Appliance with Tongue Abutting Plate
Segmented appliance with tongue abutting plate resolves phonation disorder trade-offs by relaxing muscles for healthy resonance.
- Mouthguard Sensor Array for Continuous Oral Health Monitoring
Segmented sensors within a mouthguard enable continuous oral health monitoring, resolving the trade-off between diagnosis accuracy and extended wear duration.
- Elastically Deformable Intraoral Blade for Tongue Repositioning
An intraoral blade with an elastically deformable portion guides the tongue to a high position.
- Palatal Expansion Device With Unidirectional Gear And Arm Lever
An arm lever rotates a screw with unidirectional gears, moving blocks to expand the palate without requiring a key.
- Digital Retention Mesh Morphable Regions Undercut Removal
A digital retention mesh uses morphable regions to provide customizable hold for removable objects.
- Orthodontic Expansion Screw With Bidirectional Technopolymer Design
Bidirectional expansion screw uses counter-rotating technopolymer threads to drive gradual orthodontic force release.
- Adjustable Rigid Link Rods for Dental Jaw Positioning
A setting screw adjusts rigid link rod length to advance the lower jaw, eliminating multiple blade replacements that cause discomfort.
- Robotic Aligner Feature Formation via Localized Thermoforming
Automated robotic system thermoforms polymeric aligners using precise localized heating to resolve manual fabrication bottlenecks in complex feature creation.
- Dental Coil Spring Extension Device for Orthodontic Pitch Adjustment
A dental coil spring extension device uses grip parts and an extension mechanism to separate coils and adjust pitch.
- Interproximal Reduction Tooth Modeling for Precise Stripping
Algorithmic stripping plane construction determines exact removal volume, resolving insufficient or excessive stripping that causes residual crowding.
