    摘要: The present invention is an adjustment means for a mandibular advancement device, having both intraoral and extraoral portions, including a body portion at the interface. The extraoral portion includes a lower arm and a curved upper arm. The posterior end of the upper arm includes a pad assembly that is adapted to make contact with and apply pressure to the subnasal maxillary bone. The lower arm includes a thread that is adapted to be threaded into an adjustment wheel so that turning in one direction causes the extraoral portion to retract into the body portion, causing the upper pad to apply greater pressure to the subnasal maxillary bone. Turning the adjustment wheel in the opposite direction causes the upper pad to apply decreased pressure. One complete revolution of the adjustment wheel in a first or second direction causes the extraoral portion to extend or retract by one millimetre in length.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and system for applying localized vibration directly to particular teeth with the upper and lower jaws. A headgear using an inner bow comprising at least two arms that inserts into the upper first molars and an elastic-type headgear strap attaches to the back of the neck and to the outside, or outer bow also having at least two arms. The inner bow and outer bow are coupled together generally in the center (or alternatively with at least one lateral extension that is off-centered) by an external extension. The external extension may further have a protrusion, that inserts into a corresponding orifice within a vibrating orthodontic device.

    摘要: A method is provided for regulating tooth movement, comprising extra-orally administering an effective amount of light transdermally to the maxillary or mandibular alveolar bone of a patient in need thereof. The repetitive dosage can be in the range of 24 J/cm to 200 J/cm. The light can have a wavelength in the range of about 585 nm to about 665 nm, or about 815 nm to about 895 nm. Light having a first wavelength can be administered to a first selected region of the alveolar bone, and light having a second wavelength can be administered to a second selected region of the alveolar bone to selectively regulate tooth movement during orthodontic treatment. An apparatus useful for applying light therapy extra-orally is also provided.

    摘要: A face bow and protraction headgear to correct the anterior open bite in dentally Class III open bite cases. The appliance consists of a face bow and forehead pad. The face bow has intraoral and extraoral components custom made individually for each patient. The intraoral bow is inserted from the distal openings of tubes soldered to the extraoral face bow. The extraoral face bow extends backward to the front of the ear then turns upward and ends at the level of the hooks on the forehead pad. Only the forehead is used as anchorage unit. On both sides of the pad, adjustable wire hooks are placed which allow maintaining the distance from the forehead pad hooks to the face bow hooks. Heavy elastics are attached in between the hooks of the face bow and the hooks on the forehead pad.
