Curved flanges and an elongated nose seal the gingival floor to prevent matrix band collapse and material leakage.
Computer-generated cephalometric tracts guide 3D printed orthodontic devices to correct facial asymmetries without direct patient contact.
Segmented biting tools distribute resistive force across the dental arch, resolving uneven pressure issues that cause discomfort and appliance damage.
Deformable passive RFID tag monitors patient compliance by changing antenna position during wear, resolving complexity trade-offs.
Molded silicone mouthpieces resolve self-molding fit errors by combining rigid occlusal support with soft tissue comfort.
Segmented compartments and a pull-through slot maintain the sequential wear order of dental aligners, eliminating user confusion during shipping and handling.
Segmented dental appliance system with bite adjustment structures repositions teeth through incremental stages.
Custom intra-oral prosthesis defines the vestibule to restore natural facial appearance and oral function.
An attachment with a specific force-applying surface angle generates counter-torque to prevent tipping during translation.
Lost wax casting of a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy creates a thin palatal portion that eliminates bulky plastic retainers.
A transparent polymeric dental aligner uses a resilient component to apply elastic force for tooth repositioning.
A removable orthodontic device uses form-fitting caps and connecting elements to transmit positioning forces directly to teeth.
