    摘要: An orthodontic kit includes brackets and at least one archwire for a single patient. The brackets and archwire are provided in a sealed container that is sterilized after the container is closed. Optionally, the kit includes all or at least some of the additional orthodontic articles desired for a bonding procedure, such as buccal tubes or buccal tube preweld assemblies, ligatures, bonding compositions, single use hand instruments and articles for moisture control.

    摘要: Apparatus for use in indirect bonding of orthodontic appliances includes a container having a chamber and a placement device received in the chamber. At least one orthodontic appliance is releasably connected to the placement device and has a base with a contour that is a replica of a portion of the patient's tooth structure. A bonding composition for bonding the appliance to the patient's tooth structure is applied to the base before the container is closed by the manufacturer, such that the practitioner can simply remove the placement device from the chamber and immediately transfer the appliances to the patient's teeth.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for bonding orthodontic appliances such as brackets, buccal tubes and the like to a patient's teeth includes the use of an array of solid state light emitters adapted for placement and activation in the oral cavity. When activated, the light emitters are operable to direct light toward a number of appliances simultaneously, so that photocurable bonding material located between the appliances and the teeth begins to harden. Optionally, the apparatus comprises an indirect bonding placement device that functions to precisely place the appliances on certain preselected locations of the teeth as desired by the practitioner.

    摘要: An orthodontic set-up tray includes at least two sections, and each section includes at least one receptacle for receiving an orthodontic appliance. A coupling movably connects the sections together to enable relative movement between the sections. The coupling advantageously permits the overall size of the set-up tray to be reduced or enlarged as may be desired by the practitioner. Optionally, the coupling is a releasable coupling that enables the sections to be detached from one another.

    摘要: The relative orientation of an orthodontic appliance and a tooth is selected by providing a first relative orientation between the appliance and the tooth, and defining a first set of hypothetical reference lines or rays between the base of the appliance and the tooth in virtual three-dimensional space. The distance along each ray is then determined. Next, the relative orientation of the appliance and the tooth is changed to a second orientation. A second set of rays is defined between the appliance and the tooth, and the distance along each ray is determined. A mathematical computation is then carried out on the determined distances in order to help determine whether the first orientation or the second orientation provides a better fit between the base of the appliance and the tooth surface.
