摘要： A series of orthodontic appliances is used in sequence to move the patient's teeth to desired positions. In one aspect, the shape of at least a portion of the patient's dental arch is determined, and a series of appliances is then selected based on the determined shape. In another aspect, the appliances are resilient and used in a sequence such that the stiffness of the current appliance in use increases as the course of treatment progresses.

摘要： Systems for moving teeth of a patient's dental arch from a first tooth arrangement to a second tooth arrangement include a plurality of resilient appliances such as positioning trays or elongated arch members that are used in sequence. Each appliance of the systems includes a row of spaced apart couplings for connection to respective teeth of the dental arch. The appliances have certain geometric characteristics that match the geometric characteristics of other appliances of the system, and at least one appliance has a stiffness that is greater than the stiffness of at least one other appliance.

摘要： Protective fluoropolymer layers for dental articles, particularly orthodontic appliances, that include an elastomeric substrate, are provided that reduce adhesion of materials such as food stains, bacteria and proteinaceous substances to these surfaces, which can cause staining. Methods of reducing adhesion of these materials to such surfaces are also provided.

摘要： An orthodontic separator, dimensioned such that it can be inserted between adjacent teeth. The separator is characterized in that it exhibits an increase in compressive force after insertion between adjacent teeth in the oral environment. The separator, after insertion, exerts sufficient force on the adjacent teeth to push the teeth apart.

摘要： Orthodontic appliances and related methods are provided, including a fast-dissolving and humidity-resistant coating, containing a colorant and a binder selected from a polyamide, cellulose derivative, or homopolymer/copolymer of poly(ethylene oxide). The coating can facilitate appliance identification and serve as a reference marking to assist the practitioner in appliance placement. Advantageously, the composition of these coatings allows the color marking to be rinsed off quickly, and yet the color of the coating does not bleed during storage even in high humidity environments. The fast-dissolving nature of these coatings also allows the coating to be deposited in concave and recessed areas of the appliance, such as the archwire slot and vertical slot, since these coatings can be removed prior to archwire installation.

摘要翻译： 提供正畸矫治器和相关方法，包括耐溶剂和耐湿性的涂层，其包含着色剂和选自聚（环氧乙烷）的聚酰胺，纤维素衍生物或均聚物/共聚物的粘合剂。 涂层可以方便设备识别，并作为参考标记，以帮助从业者进行器具放置。 有利地，这些涂层的组成允许快速冲洗颜色标记，并且即使在高湿度环境中，涂层的颜色也不会在储存期间渗色。 这些涂层的快速溶解性质还允许涂层沉积在器具的凹入和凹陷区域中，例如弓丝槽和垂直槽，因为这些涂层可以在弓丝安装之前被去除。

摘要： A vapor phase corrosion inhibitor-desiccant composite comprising silica gel granules coated with a vapor phase corrosion inhibitor component. The corrosion inhibitor component is selected from a formulation comprising anhydrous molybdates such as ammonium dimolybdate, sodium molybdate and amine molybdates mixed with benzotriazole and sodium nitrate, or from a formulation comprising amine benzoates, amine nitrates and benzotriazole. The composites can be impregnated into foam, extruded with polyolefin films which can additionally be laminated with metallized second film, or encapsulated in an air-permeable container. The corrosion inhibitor formulations have vapor pressures which provide ongoing corrosion protection for susceptible articles situated favorably with respect to the composite.
