A ball joint orthodontic device enables 360-degree horizontal and 90-degree vertical mandibular movement.
Plastic straps with articulated slots guide mandibular advancement while allowing lateral movement to reduce dental pain and improve patient comfort.
A dental aligner placement system uses a nested hook to grip and position orthodontic devices without direct finger contact.
Occlusally bulging fulcrum regions on a removable orthotic pivot the jaw sagittally, resolving ineffective symptom relief in temporomandibular joint disorders.
A sterile electrical wire records palatal contours to mold a resin transpalatal arch with braided wire reinforcement.
Segmented piezoelectric actuators on the archwire apply localized pulsating forces to accelerate bone remodeling and shorten treatment duration.
A multi-station dental thermoforming device uses segmented model storage positions and connecting channels to distribute vacuum pressure evenly across all units.
Curved tine peaks increase surface contact area and distribute separating forces uniformly, reducing rotational stress on adjacent teeth.
A multifunctional oral appliance uses titration connectors to adjust jaw position in three dimensions for simultaneous treatment of sleep apnea and TMJ disorders.
Forward-inclined ramps and magnetic repulsion guide the mandible downward, resolving jaw soreness from stabilization features while maintaining an open airway.
Thermal treatment of PETG aligners restores intermolecular forces lost to stress relaxation, reducing plastic waste from frequent replacements.
Variable thickness design prevents posterior tooth intrusion while composite layers sustain continuous force for fewer treatment steps.
