Disclosed is a traction/locking element, a traction/locking set, an orthodontic bracket, an orthodontic bracket setup and a tooth orthodontic method. The traction/locking element comprises a strip-shaped nail body (10). The nail body (10) has a cross-sectional area of 0.06-2.5 square millimetres, and a length of 0.8-4.5 millimetres. The front end of the nail body (10) is a first fixed end(11), and the rear end thereof is a first screwing end(12). The first fixed end (11) is provided with connecting external screws (111), with the external diameter of the connecting external screws (111) being 0.2-1.6 millimetres. At least the end position of the first screwing end (12) is provided with a first force applying surface (121). The traction is performed in time according to the traction opportunity of orthodontics, and the traction is very reliable, reducing the discomfort in the oral cavity. With a breaking part and a disassembly and assembly tool, the assembly and disassembly are very convenient.

The present invention relates to an orthodontic archwire stop (20) having a body (26) made of a shpae memory metal alloy. The body has first and second, spaced apart arm portions (40, 42) connected to each other. Each arm portion includes a jaw portion (44) having an inner, arch wire-gripping, surface (80). The inner gripping surfaces are disposed opposite one another in spaced relation with a station defined therebetween for receiving the arch wire. At least a portion of the station is sized smaller than the arch wire. The arm portions are resiliently deflectable outwardly away from each other to admit the arch wire into the station. Once seated in the station, the arch wire is tightly held by inner gripping surfaces so as to resist displacement of the gripping device relative to the arch wire.

Disclosed is an orthodontic member, having a tube shape, a hollow polygonal prism shape, a hollow truncated polygonal pyramid shape, a hollow truncated cone shape, or a funnel shape, and including a water-soluble or biodegradable material, wherein the orthodontic member into which a wire is inserted is attached to the teeth, thereby making it simple to perform orthodontic treatment.

The present invention relates to an orthodontic gripping device having a body made of a superelastic metal alloy, cold worked titanium beta III, or solution heat treated and aged titanium beta III. The body has first and second, spaced apart arm portions connected to each other. Each arm portion includes a jaw portion having an inner, arch wire-gripping, surface. The inner gripping surfaces are disposed opposite one another in spaced relation with a station defined therebetween for receiving the arch wire. At least a portion of the station is sized smaller than the arch wire. The arm portions are resiliently deflectable outwardly away from each other to admit the arch wire into the station. Once seated in the station, the arch wire is tightly held by inner gripping surfaces so as to resist displacement of the gripping device relative to the arch wire.

Indirect bonding trays for orthodontic treatment are made from a model of the patient's dental arch that is manufactured using digital data and rapid prototyping processes. The model includes one or more guides for orienting an orthodontic appliance in a desired position on a model tooth of the dental arch model. A holder is connected to the archwire slot of the appliance and is brought into contact with the guide in order to move the appliance to its intended position for subsequent manufacture of the indirect bonding tray.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for bending or shaping orthodontic archwires or other medical devices into a complex, patient individual shape is described. The apparatus comprises of two moveable, compact, manipulators with, in total, at least three revolute joints defining three rotation axes and at least three prismatic joints defining at least three translation axes. Gripping tools are provided on the manipulators. The two manipulators are arranged to allow a relative movement in six degrees of freedom. A reduced complexity embodiment is also described having only one or two revolute joints.
