43 | Magnetic force functional orthodontic appliances | US809331 | 1985-12-16 | US4671767A | 1987-06-09 | Abraham Blechman; Eugene A. Pescatore |
Both fixed and removable functional appliances are disclosed employing magnets to provide the requisite force for accomplishing Class II malocclusion correction. Magnets are employed buccally and/or lingually, either operating in sliding or shearing mode or with the inter-pole gap inclined mesio-distally to develop an effective horizontal force component. Long thin rectangular magnets are incorporated bilaterally and inclined mesio-distally in the tooth capping sections of functional type base structures overlying the occlusal surface. Curved or angled straight magnets are located in anterior flanges of functional type base structures for developing horizontal thrust on the mandible. A number of closed magnetic circuits using either low reluctance keepers or shaped magnets are described for providing either increased force or travel or both. | ||||||

The invention contemplates configurations of permanently magnetized magnetic elements adapted for fixation to different teeth for so torsionally reacting with each other as to apply continuous unidirectional torque as needed for particular orthodontic applications. The magnetic reaction responsible for such torque development is also instrumental in providing an environment for concurrent development of osteogenesis and soft-tissue repair, in aid of the orthodontic displacement process. | ||||||
45 | Magnetic orthodontic appliance | US361032 | 1982-03-22 | US4396373A | 1983-08-02 | Eugene L. Dellinger |
This invention relates to an orthodontic appliance for exerting a corrective magnetic force on live teeth in a patient's mouth. The appliance includes two separate rigid caps having internal shapes conforming to the crown portions of juxtaposed teeth in the maxilla and mandible, respectively. The caps are adapted to be removably frictionally secured to such teeth. Two permanent magnets carried by the two caps, respectively, have facing poles which are in registry when the mouth is normally closed and further exert a magnetic force in a direction substantially normal to the occlusal plane. The poles are of extended area such that at least portions thereof remain in juxtaposed registry and the magnetic force maintains substantially in the same direction for normal relative jaw movement. | ||||||
46 | Magnetic tooth straightener | US696511 | 1976-06-16 | US4017973A | 1977-04-19 | John E. Nelson |
Disclosed is a permanent magnet tooth straightener. Nuts are attached by bands to an anchor tooth and a mobile tooth. Screws are threaded into each nut and axially aligned. The screws are permanent magnets so that their adjacent ends form interacting magnet poles which may either attract or repell each other. As the position of the mobile tooth changes the screws may be rotated to adjust the magnetic force acting between the teeth. | ||||||
47 | Orthodontics by magnetics | US590934 | 1975-06-27 | US3984915A | 1976-10-12 | Terry Gordon Noble, deceased; by Mary Lynne Noble, administratrix |
This invention involves the orthodontic movement of live teeth in the mouth by using the forces of magnets. A magnet is attached to the teeth by conventional methods such as adhesive bonding or dental appliances. The magnets are placed on the teeth in such a manner to employ the attraction and repulsion characteristics of a magnetic field. These forces may be employed to align teeth, tilt teeth, move root positions and angulations, torque teeth, and erupt impacted or partially impacted teeth into the correct position in the mouth. The technique may be used alone or in combination with other conventional orthodontic techniques for either major or minor tooth movement. The magnets may be attached anywhere on a tooth, but preferably in an inconspicuous position. The magnets themselves may have tapered edges to insure the teeth move to the proper position. In the movement of a single tooth normally a magnet will be attached to the single tooth with the other magnet which creates the repulsion or attraction force being attached to several teeth in combination. | ||||||

A dental retainer device for stabilization, so-called retention, of pairs of teeth or groups of teeth in a lower jaw and/or an upper jaw in orthodontic treatment. The retainer device is formed of a pair (2) of retainer elements, consisting of two preferably individual, but in the position of use cooperating, retainer elements (4, 6). Each of the retainer elements (4, 6) is formed with i.a. a retainer approximal surface (16, 18), the retainer approximal surfaces (16, 18) being formed complementary relative to one another. In use, one or more pairs (2) of retainer elements is/are positioned and secured with its/their individual elements (4, 6) preferably on the inner face of a tooth (20, 22) each of a pair of adjacent teeth, so that in the position of use the retainer approximal surfaces (16, 18) bear on each other and support, possibly lock, each other. Thereby pairs of teeth or groups of teeth are stabilized while it is possible at the same time to carry out normal dental hygiene by means of a toothbrush, dental floss or toothpicks, which is otherwise difficult to carry out when known retainers are used. |
