Abstract: Palatal expander devices with sensors. A palatal expander body may include a palatal region, and a tooth-receiving region configured to receive teeth of a patient's upper arch. One or more sensors may be disposed on or in the palatal region of the palatal expander body. At least one processor may be configured to receive sensor data from the one or more sensors and to determine an expansion state of a patient's palatal region based on the sensor data.

Abstract: Methods of orthodontic treatment using localized energy. The methods may include determining that one or more of a patient's teeth are off track from a treatment plan based on one or more discrepancies between a current virtual model and a target virtual model. The current virtual model may be based on image(s) taken of the patient's teeth during a stage of orthodontic treatment. The methods may also include modifying the treatment plan by implementing local energy radiation to a region of the patient's dental arch. The local energy radiation may be configured to accelerate repositioning of the one or more of the patient's teeth and to put the one or more of the patient's teeth on track according to the treatment plan.

Abstract: Orthodontic treatment monitoring using intermediate devices. In one example, an orthodontic appliance case includes a near field communication (NFC) circuitry including a first antenna that is configured to receive data transmitted from a sensor module on an orthodontic appliance when the sensor module is within the orthodontic appliance case. The data may include information regarding when the orthodontic appliance was worn in a patient's mouth. The orthodontic appliance case may also include a data store configured to store the data, and a Bluetooth communication circuitry including a second antenna configured to transmit the data to an external computing device when the external computing device is within communication range of the second antenna.

Abstract: Embedded sensors and onboard or off-board processing in an aligner case can detect aligner material and/or quality. Material detection can be used for counterfeit detection, or to trigger material specific events. Quality detection can include detection of common aligner failures or defects. A case for a dental appliance may include a tray for supporting the dental appliance, a cover coupled to the tray, and at least one sensor to detect a deformation of the dental appliance. A case for a dental appliance may include a tray for housing the dental appliance, a cover coupled to the tray, and at least one sensor configured to detect a change in material of the dental appliance.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for performing orthodontic treatment planning are provided. Virtual/Augmented Reality devices can be used to virtually manipulate patient's teeth, modify virtual models of the patient's teeth, analyze the fit of a dental appliance on the patient's teeth, analyze the position of attachment sites for dental appliances, and provide overlays showing forces applied to the patient's teeth. The VR/AR devices can be used by physicians and/or the patient to provide and display treatment planning.

Abstract: Improved systems, methods, and devices for treating sleep apnea are provided herein. In one aspect, an intraoral appliance for treating sleep apnea in a patient comprises an appliance shell comprising a plurality of cavities shaped to receive teeth of a jaw of the patient. The appliance shell can comprise an advancement structure arranged to interact with an opposing jaw of the patient so as to displace the lower jaw anteriorly relative to the upper jaw. The plurality of cavities can comprise cavity geometries shaped to reduce repositioning of one or more received teeth elicited by displacement of the lower jaw anteriorly relative to the upper jaw.
