摘要： Provided is an improved self-ligating orthodontic appliance and methods of assembling the same. The improved orthodontic appliance uses at least one resilient clip to releasably couple an archwire to the body, where a portion of the clip is rigidly coupled to the appliance body in a position and orientation that minimizes the overall profile of the appliance. The appliance is assembled by combining a press fit coupling between the clip and appliance body with an interference fit coupling between the clip and retaining structure located on the body. Advantages include a greater freedom to select a bonding pad location, lower bracket profile, decreased engagement force, enhanced clip fatigue life, and ease of assembly.

摘要： A mobile terminal is disclosed. The mobile terminal includes a first body forming the external appearance of the mobile terminal, a second body rotatably coupled to the first body, the second body forming the external appearance of the mobile terminal, and a coupling unit for rotatably coupling the first body and the second body to each other. The coupling unit includes a hinge housing fixedly coupled to the first body, an outer head fixedly coupled to the second body, an inner head disposed between the hinge housing and the outer head so as to generate a collision sound during rotation of the inner head, a cam mounted in the hinge housing such that the cam contacts the inner head, and an elastic spring mounted in the hinge housing for providing elastic force to the cam.

摘要： Indirect bonding trays for orthodontic treatment are made from a model of the patient's dental arch that is manufactured using digital data and rapid prototyping processes. The model includes one or more guides for orienting an orthodontic appliance in a desired position on a model tooth of the dental arch model. A holder is connected to the archwire slot of the appliance and is brought into contact with the guide in order to move the appliance to its intended position for subsequent manufacture of the indirect bonding tray.

摘要： The present invention provides a method that uses digital data, such as that obtained from an intraoral scanner, to fabricate a wide range of customized laboratory appliances. The digital data is used to form a negative mold, which is in turn used to make a physical dental model. The negative mold is configured such that it can be flexed, stretched, fractured or disassembled to release the physical dental model. The physical dental model is then used for fabricating an orthodontic laboratory appliance.
