    Abstract: The present invention provides improved devices, systems and methods for repositioning teeth from an initial tooth arrangement to a final tooth arrangement. Repositioning is accomplished with a system comprising a series of polymeric shell appliances configured to receive the teeth and incrementally reposition individual teeth in a series of successive steps. The individual appliances may be formed from layers having different stiffnesses (elastic moduluses), and the stiffnesses of successive appliances may be different, or both.

    Abstract translation: 本发明提供了用于将牙齿从初始牙齿布置重新定位到最终牙齿布置的改进的装置,系统和方法。 重新定位是通过包括一系列聚合物壳装置的系统完成的,其被配置为接收牙齿并在一系列连续的步骤中递增地重新定位各个牙齿。 各个器具可以由具有不同刚度(弹性模量)的层形成,并且连续器具的刚度可以不同,或者两者都是不同的。
