Othrodontics TRIZ Cases

An orthotic device with a bite block and lingual wire system redistributes biting forces to protect teeth from parafunctional damage.

Segmented dental members with interchangeable posterior connectors allow clinicians to modify treatment forces without remanufacturing the entire device.

A curved telescoping bite corrector hugs dental arches, reducing soft tissue injury while preventing binding during jaw movement.

Grooved insert profile receives elastically deformable spacer clips to resolve material selection constraints in mandibular advancement devices.

Segmenting the device into separate retaining and functional components prevents rotation and maintains precise orthodontic positioning.

Heating shape memory appliances between critical and glass transition temperatures enables reliable shape changes while minimizing material stress.

A mandible support device positions maxillary and mandibular trays via a spacer to maintain centric occlusion during positive airway pressure therapy.

Replacing bulky polymer materials, this titanium splint reduces thickness while maintaining rigidity for easier cleaning.

A thermoforming plastic sheet applies a thickness gradient to prevent excessive thinning over dental models.

Integrated stereo cameras in dental operating lights resolve alignment and workspace clutter trade-offs.

Segmenting the device with an extraction hinge resolves expansion force versus removal difficulty.

A single arch dental trough features a posterior lingual pocket that receives the tongue to naturally advance the mandible.

Threaded bore projections engage spindle recesses to provide reproducible inhibition, eliminating separate components and reducing device complexity.

Light-curable composite bonds ligatures directly to impacted teeth, eliminating intermediary mesh bases.

A pivotable measuring arm with an adjustable incisor ledge quantifies clinical crown inclination relative to a true horizontal reference plane.

Segmented prongs with transition regions allow clinicians to manipulate arch wires inside the mouth, eliminating time-consuming external modifications.

A measuring gauge with center and peripheral marking lines determines orthodontic dimensions based on facial landmarks.

Through-hole patterns on orthodontic models increase information storage capacity while optical imaging maintains simple detection equipment.

Cyclic ultrasonic forces from a 3-D axial spring trigger genetic remodeling, accelerating tooth alignment while preventing root resorption.

A shell dental appliance features a first mounting surface with artificially designed geometry that matches accessory contours for secure adhesion.

A helical spring limiter prevents permanent deformation in orthodontic devices.
