Abstract: Dental appliances and methods for expanding the lower dental arch. The appliances may be removable mandibular expander devices for efficient arch expansion while being comfortable to wear and easy to use. The appliances may include a lingual portion that is shaped and sized to apply an expansion force to lingual surfaces of one or more teeth. The shape and size of the lingual portion may be configured to distribute the forces among posterior and/or anterior teeth. A series of expander devices may be designed to provide the expansion forces in a stepwise fashion toward a target lower arch configuration according to a treatment plan

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for orthodontic treatment planning. A treatment plan may be for a patient's teeth and for a specific dental professional. A set of combined treatment preferences may include a first set of rules converted from a set of textual instructions from the specified dental professional into a domain-specific language specific to the specified dental professional. The textual instructions may include unscripted instructions. A second set of rules may be converted from a set of scripted instructions from the specified dental professional. The scripted instructions may include responses from a script of predefined choices. An orthodontic treatment plan may be generated for the patient's teeth using the set of combined treatment preferences and a digital model of the patient's teeth.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides method, computing device readable medium, and devices for dental appliances with repositioning jaw elements. An example of a method can include identifying a misaligned jaw of a patient from a virtual image of the patient's jaw, providing a treatment plan for the patient including a virtual model of a dental appliance having a first shell and a second shell configured to reposition at least one tooth of the patient, and adjusting the position of the repositioning jaw elements on the first shell and the second shell to comply with a number of constraints. The virtual model of the dental appliance including repositioning jaw elements on the first shell and the second shell configured to move a position of the misaligned jaw of the patient.

Abstract: Apparatuses (e.g., systems and devices, including dental appliances and series of dental appliances) that may include one or more conversion appliances that may be worn on a subject’s during a treatment plan without applying substantial orthodontic forces on the subject’s teeth. The conversion appliances described herein may be configured to provide the user with a similar feel as a dental appliance. In some cases these appliances are not part of the dental treatment plan but are added between one or more stages. The dental professional may include one or more conversion appliances between one or more stages of a dental treatment plan, and conversion appliances may be added after the dental treatment plan has been finalized.

Abstract: A set of primer appliances and a set of treatment appliances to be worn by a subject are provided. The primer appliances are first worn to prepare the local environment of the teeth for further repositioning of the teeth by the treatment appliances. The primer appliances may apply compression to the periodontal ligament, in a direction favorable for achieving the desired final position of a tooth. The compression may generate a biological response in the local environment of the teeth. The primer appliances may cause minimal or no repositioning of the teeth. The treatment appliances are worn to reposition the teeth from an initial position to an end positon of a treatment stage. The primer appliances can improve the efficiency and accuracy of tooth movement by the treatment appliances.

Abstract: A comparative orthodontic treatment planning tool that can provide multiple treatment plan options based on a single initial tooth data set. A user can use the treatment planning tool to select a treatment plan based on factors, including cost, treatment duration, treatment complexity, and material or feature selection. Tooth arrangements at different treatment stages can be compared. In some cases, a tooth arrangement at one treatment stage can be superimposed over a tooth arrangement at a different treatment stage or over a tooth arrangement from a different treatment plan.
Abstract translation: 一种比较正畸治疗计划工具,可以基于单个初始牙齿数据集提供多种治疗计划选项。 用户可以使用治疗计划工具根据因素选择治疗计划,包括成本,治疗持续时间,治疗复杂性,材料或特征选择。 可以比较不同处理阶段的牙齿布置。 在一些情况下,在不同的治疗阶段或在不同治疗方案的牙齿布置上,在一个治疗阶段的牙齿布置可以重叠在牙齿布置上。

Abstract: Systems and methods for forming eruption compensation (EC) features in dental appliances for accommodating erupting teeth. An EC feature may be oversized compared to a predicted geometry of an erupting tooth, thereby allowing natural eruption of the tooth when a subject wears the dental appliance. The size, shape, location and/or orientation of the EC feature may be determined based on a virtual EC region in a virtual dental model of the subject's teeth. Dimensions of the virtual EC region may be calculated using a scaling process applied to the predicted geometry of the erupting tooth. In some cases an asymmetric scaling may be used to provide a prescribed larger lingual or buccal side of the EC region to accommodate an ectopically erupting tooth.
