Abstract: A first appliance and a second appliance comprise engagement surfaces that provide mandibular relocation forces and forces to limit lateral movement of the jaw, such as opposing inclined surfaces on opposite sides of the mouth. In some embodiments, engagement surfaces between oral appliances comprise a curvature difference, which allows engagement at differing angles and positions.

Abstract: Apparatuses (e.g., distalizers) and methods for distalizing a subject's teeth while preventing or reducing undesirable tipping and/or rotation of the teeth. The distalizer apparatuses may include tooth engagement regions shaped to accommodate molars, canines and/or premolar teeth, may include a transpalatal region extending between engagement regions having an anterior edge that is posterior to a premolar region of the first tooth engagement region, and may include an attachment site for an elastic band on the outer buccal surface.

Abstract: A method of treating malocclusions of teeth may include receiving a scan of a patient's teeth and generating a treatment plan to move a patient's teeth from a first position toward a second position. The treatment plan may include moving a jaw from a first position towards a second position. The treatment plan may include a series of jaw movement stages to move the jaw from the first position towards the second position. The method may include generating a digital model of an aligner having mandibular relocation structures. A location of the mandibular relocation structures may be based on a set of location constraints. The method may include fabricating a physical aligner based on the digital model of the aligner.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for customized retainers to prevent relapse. In particular, described herein are customized retainers, and methods and apparatuses for making customized retainers that specifically reenforce and prevent movement of one or more teeth having a higher likelihood of relapse following completion of an orthodontic treatment plan.

Abstract: A first appliance and a second appliance comprise engagement surfaces that provide mandibular relocation forces and forces to limit lateral movement of the jaw, such as opposing inclined surfaces on opposite sides of the mouth. In some embodiments, engagement surfaces between oral appliances comprise a curvature difference, which allows engagement at differing angles and positions.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for generating ortho-restorative treatment plans and orthodontic aligners. The ortho-restorative treatment plan may include prescribed movements of one or more teeth to correct mal-positioned teeth while accounting for planned restorative treatments on a patient's dentition. The methods may include forming a virtual target dentition model having a target restorative feature, and one or more virtual intermediate dentition models having one or more intermediate restorative features having a different shape and/or size as the target restorative feature. The methods may be used generate a series of aligners in accordance with the ortho-restorative treatment plan.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for retaining or treating a dental arch to apply a lateral expansion force to a lower jaw while permitting the extrusion of one or more teeth may include the use of a maxillary dental appliance device and/or a mandibular dental appliance device including projection regions extending from the occlusal surfaces of the device to apply a laterally outward expansion force.
