    摘要: An orthodontic appliance and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the present technology includes a positioning member configured to position an orthodontic appliance during installation in the patient's mouth. The positioning member may comprise a first portion configured to be coupled to the patient's teeth and a second portion extending away from the first portion. The second portion may be configured to be detachably coupled to the orthodontic appliance. While the positioning member is coupled to the orthodontic appliance, the positioning member is configured to be positioned in the patient's mouth and coupled to the patient's teeth, thereby positioning the orthodontic appliance at a desired location adjacent a patient's oral anatomy.

    摘要: Devices, systems, and methods for orthodontic treatment planning and treatment are disclosed herein. Various embodiments of the present technology are directed to a method of obtaining data characterizing movements of a patient's teeth from original positions to desired, final positions. In some embodiments, the method can include identifying one or more components of the movements, evaluating the movements, and/or modifying the movements. A method of the present technology can comprise obtaining an orthodontic treatment plan, which can include one or more suggested interventions to accomplish the tooth movements, a design of such intervention(s), and/or other useful information regarding the orthodontic treatment. In some embodiments, a method of the present technology comprises evaluating an orthodontic treatment during and/or after implementation of the treatment and, based on the evaluation, obtaining another orthodontic treatment plan and movement data characterizing movements of a patient's teeth from their current positions to desired, final positions.

    摘要: Orthodontic systems are disclosed herein. According to some embodiments, the present technology includes a securing member configured to be secured to a patient's tooth and an orthodontic appliance comprising a resiliently deformable attachment portion configured to be releasably secured to the securing member. The attachment portion can be moveable between an attached state in which the orthodontic appliance exerts active and/or retentive orthodontic force on the tooth via the attachment portion and the securing member when the securing member is secured to the tooth and a detached state in which the orthodontic appliance is operably disconnected from the securing member. The securing member can comprise a plurality of protrusions configured to engage the attachment portion when the attachment portion is in the attached state.

    摘要: Orthodontic appliances, systems, and methods are disclosed herein. In some examples, an orthodontic appliance can include an anchor configured to be adjacent to the patients teeth and a plurality of arms extending away from and coupled to the anchor, the arms configured to be secured to the patient s teeth. According to embodiments of the present technology, methods for determining a design of an orthodontic appliance can include virtually deforming an appliance digital model based on an anatomy digital model and, based on an output of the virtual deformation, modifying one or more digital models or producing a final design of an orthodontic appliance. If one or more digital models is modified, the method is repeated until a final design is produced.
