    Abstract: A dental attachment placement device comprises a plurality of articulated registration elements shaped for placement on a plurality of teeth, which can facilitate placement, accommodate tooth movement, and improve alignment of the registration elements with the teeth, so as to accurately position an attachment for placement. An orthodontic device may include a plurally of registration element. A plurality of first flexible arms may extend from each registration element on a lingual side. The first flexible arm may have a connected end and a distal end. The distal end may be configured to extend at least part way over the tooth and apply a lingual force to bias the registration element against the tooth. A plurality of attachment supports may each be located on a buccal side of the plurally of registration elements and include an attachment frame that is releasably coupled to an attachment.

    Abstract: A dental attachment placement device comprises a plurality of articulated registration elements shaped for placement on a plurality of teeth, which can facilitate placement, accommodate tooth movement, and improve alignment of the registration elements with the teeth, so as to accurately position an attachment for placement. The plurality of registration elements may comprise one or more attachment supports and one or more retention supports extending from the plurality of registration elements. A dental attachment can be removably coupled to the attachment support. The plurality of registration elements and attachment supports may be located on opposing sides of one or more teeth in order to maintain placement prior to adhering the attachment to the tooth. In some embodiments, each of the plurality of registration elements comprises a tooth registration surface shaped to engage the tooth with a specific position and orientation for accurate positioning of the attachment.

    Abstract: Aligner attachment placement devices for placing one or more aligner attachments on teeth. The placement devices can include registration anchors, retention supports, an aligner attachment, and an attachment frame that at least partially surrounds a perimeter of the aligner attachment. The registration anchors can have occlusal contact surfaces that are shaped to register with occlusal surfaces of one or more teeth. The retention supports can have lingual contact surfaces that are shaped to register with lingual surfaces of one or more teeth. The aligner attachments can be shaped to interact with one or more aligners to impart forces on one or more of the teeth. The placement device can include multiple aligner attachments. The attachment frame can include one or more struts that frangibly connect the aligner attachment(s) to the attachment frame.
