    Abstract: The present invention provides devices, systems and methods for orthodontic treatment using elastic repositioning appliances while concurrently providing dental and periodontal therapies. Such therapies are traditionally provided with the use of a variety of accessories and devices which are applied when the repositioning appliance is removed from the patient's mouth. The present invention eliminates the need for such removal and additional devices by incorporating these therapies into the repositioning appliance.

    Abstract: Traditional orthodontic treatment often involves the use of basic repositioning devices, such as braces, and the use of supplementary devices, components or accessories to achieve desired end results. Such components may be mounted on fixed, non-removable devices or they may be part of a removable appliance typically worn prior to the application of the fixed devices. As with traditional treatment, it may be desired to utilize similar components when repositioning teeth with removable elastic repositioning appliances. Due to the nature of elastic appliances, such components may take a variety of forms ranging from readily available traditional accessories to specially created devices. Thus, traditional components may be mounted on or embedded in an elastic appliance, or the appliance may be formed to provide similar components. Likewise, the appliance may be modified to provide additional features for specific orthodontic treatments.

    Abstract translation: 传统的正畸治疗通常涉及使用诸如支架之类的基本重新定位装置，以及使用辅助装置，部件或附件来实现期望的最终结果。 这些组件可以安装在固定的不可移动设备上，或者它们可以是通常在施加固定设备之前佩戴的可移除设备的一部分。 与传统治疗一样，当用可移除的弹性重新定位装置重新定位牙齿时，可能需要使用相似的部件。 由于弹性电器的性质，这些组件可以采用各种形式，从容易获得的传统配件到特殊创建的设备。 因此，传统部件可以安装在或嵌入弹性器具中，或者可以将器具形成为提供相似的部件。 同样，可以对器具进行修改以提供特定正畸治疗的附加特征。

    Abstract: An improved dental appliance system, and methods for using and fabricating the improved appliance, including a polymeric overlay or shell having a teeth-receiving cavity formed therein. The dental appliance having the necessary stiffness or strength to firmly secure the appliance on the teeth and provide controlled forces required for repositioning the teeth, until such time as removal of the appliance is desired. The appliance may be configured for use with a removal mechanism. The removal mechanism provides for selective release of the appliance from the teeth as the removal mechanism undergoes a state change stimulated by an environmental stimulus or environmental switch.
