| 121 | IMPLANT POSITIONING DEVICE FOR AN ORTHODONTIC BRACE | US14687599 | 2015-04-15 | US20150327950A1 | 2015-11-19 | Yin Chao YAO |
| The present invention provides an implant positioning device for an orthodontic brace, that is fitted on to the orthodontic brace of a patient. The implant position device mainly includes a measuring standard member and at least one encircled member, whereby the at least one encircled member is used in conjunction with the orthodontic brace that is directly in connection with the measuring standard member. The measuring standard member forms a detection region having measuring scale by means of a radiopaque material. A positioning unit is configured on one side of the detection region. Moreover, the at least one encircled member forms an encircling main body that can be elastically extended. The encircling main body forms a sleeved space that can accommodate the orthodontic brace, and the size of the sleeved space can be adjusted. The encircling main body together with the positioning unit forms a connecting unit for fixing means, such that the implant positioning device can be rapidly assembled on to or removed from the orthodontic brace. Moreover, an X-ray image having a measuring scale is projected to an X-ray film by means of an X-ray projecting machine in accordance with the present invention. | ||||||

| 124 | Method for determining position of orthodontics mini-screw and apparatus thereof | US13756185 | 2013-01-31 | US08870567B2 | 2014-10-28 | Jin Kook Kim; Jae Il Han; Jeong Woon Jeong |
| Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for determining the location of an orthodontic fastener. In the method, a first location on a tooth and a second location on alveolar bone are set on a patient's medical image. Thereafter, a first rectilinear line including two points, that is, the set first and second locations, is generated. Thereafter, bone density values at the locations of the alveolar bone on the generated first rectilinear line are computed using the medical image. Finally, the location of the alveolar bone at which a first fastener is inserted is determined based on the computed bone density values. | ||||||

| Orthodontic bracket assemblies with torque-adjusting drums. The drum defines at least a majority of the archwire slot of the corresponding bracket assembly, and the drum may be selectively rotated about its longitudinal axis to adjust the prescriptive force that is applied to a patient's tooth during orthodontic use of the bracket assembly. The bracket assembly includes a positioning assembly that selectively retains the drum in a selected orientation relative to the base of the bracket assembly, thereby defining a prescription to be imparted by the bracket assembly to a patient's tooth. In some embodiments, the bracket assembly includes a biasing mechanism that selectively urges the positioning assembly to a position in which the drum is, or is not, retained in a selected position. In some embodiments, the bracket includes a release mechanism that selectively disengages the positioning assembly to permit adjustment of the drum. | ||||||
