Abstract: A two-part orthodontic appliance having a pedestal which is relatively permanently attached to a tooth, as by direct bonding or by a tooth band, and a bracket which is firmly but removably secured to the pedestal. A wide variety of lug configurations may be provided on the bracket, so that the appropriate bracket may be selected for the particular patient and tooth in question, as the orthodontic treatment proceeds over the weeks and months. The bracket may be readily replaced with one of another configuration to accommodate the changing forces that are needed to bring about the orthodontic correction. The bracket is secured to the pedestal by a locking member or detent formed from the bracket, which snaps into place over a detent edge formed on the pedestal. Removal of the bracket from the pedestal is accomplished by forcing the locking member back over the edge, and sliding the bracket off the pedestal.

Abstract: Attachment of an orthodontic appliance by direct bonding to a tooth utilizing a composite base with a porous tooth-abutting face and various methods for making the device, such as casting as a unitary structure, or forming the composite base by rolling a mesh, in strip form, so as to form flats on at least one surface of the mesh where the mesh is to be in contact with a solid base portion, then bonding the mesh to the base. In the latter embodiment, the metal base is a metal foil to which the appliance is attached and the mesh and foil form a composite strip, from which individual composite pads are formed.

Abstract: A process for making orthodontic assemblies such as brackets and buccal tubes which permits simultaneous heat treating of the assembly while brazing the assembly together. The process consists of assembling a plurality of aligned bases with caps and a brazing insert. The caps are then tack welded (temporarily fastened) to the bases to produce a strip of orthodontic assemblies which can be easily handled. The strips are then heat treated to a brazing temperature in a specified atmosphere. The individual orthodontic assemblies are either automatically separated during the heat treatment or may be easily separated by cutting after removal from the furnace. The bases and caps for the buccal tube assemblies are of a unique design which is readily adaptable to the multiple strip brazing process.

Abstract: An orthodontic bracket in which the archwire is locked in place by a resilient locking loop member which snaps into and out of engagement over the bracket. The locking loop member is a nickel-titanium wire of high resilience and shape memory which not only locks in the archwire but imparts force against it as a function of the shape memory of the locking loop member.

Abstract translation: 用于制造正畸组件的方法,例如支架和口腔管,其允许在将组件钎焊在一起的同时热处理组件。 该方法由多个对齐的基座与盖和钎焊插入件组成。 然后将盖子定位焊接(临时固定)到基部以产生可以容易地处理的正畸组件条。 然后将条带在规定的气氛中热处理至钎焊温度。 单独的正畸组件在热处理期间自动分离,或者在从炉中取出之后可以通过切割容易地分离。 用于颊部管组件的基座和帽具有独特的设计,其易于适应多条带钎焊工艺。
