    Abstract: Hybrid orthodontic archwire designs are disclosed. Hybrid archwires may have bracket-archwire sections and interproximal archwire sections in which each section can vary in cross-section shape, size, and/or material properties. Bracket-archwire sections may be configured to promote torque control and may have rectangular cross-sections. Interproximal archwire sections may be configured to be bent into force-promoting loops and may have round cross sections. Each archwire section may be straight or bent into any shape. Hybrid archwires may have sliding sections and non-sliding sections. Non-sliding sections may have male connectors configured to prevent the archwire from sliding relative to the orthodontic brackets and/or may have cross-sectional shapes, sizes, or coatings that resist sliding relative to sliding sections. Sliding sections may have linear archwire segments. Hybrid archwires may have distal or posterior non-sliding sections and an intermediate anterior or medial sliding section.

    Abstract: An archform configured to move a patient's teeth using non-sliding mechanics. The archform can include a double loop between two bracket connectors. The archform can include one or more hooks extending from bracket connectors to couple with elastics. The archform can include narrowed-width bracket connectors for overcrowded teeth. The archform can include interproximal segments between adjacent bracket connectors that include multiple interproximal members.

    Abstract: An orthodontic bracket and archform system that uses friction-free mechanics are disclosed. The archform can have a male fastener that can be retained within an orthodontic bracket. The orthodontic bracket can have varying locking mechanism, such as deflectable tabs, springs, locking pins, and others, that can cooperate with features of the male fastener to prevent sliding between the archform and the bracket.

    Abstract: An orthodontic indirect bonding tray that may transfer orthodontic brackets, bite turbo, and/or orthodontic auxiliaries is disclosed. The indirect bonding tray may be digitally designed and 3D printed or fabricated based on a bonding model. The indirect bonding tray may transfer the orthodontic brackets, bite turbos, and orthodontic auxiliaries to any tooth surface. The indirect bonding tray may be designed to transfer bite turbos that vary in size, shape, and the amount of bite opening or functional correction.

    Abstract: Methods of directly bonding a non-sliding archform to a patient's teeth are disclosed herein. An IDB tray with wells sized and shaped to form orthodontic brackets can be filled with a fluid, such as an adhesive or bonding agent. The IDB tray with the fluid-filled wells can be placed over the teeth of the patient. The fluid in the wells can contact the surfaces of the teeth. The fluid can be cured by way of exposure to UV light, forming orthodontic brackets and bonding the orthodontic brackets to the patient's teeth.
