An orthodontic process is provided by which a pulsating force is applied to the tooth to be moved, rather than a continuous force as in the case with the prior art methods. The invention is predicted on the concept that when pulsating forces are applied to the tooth, there is little or no hyalinization and consequently more cellular activity, giving rise to more oesteoclastic activity for bone resorption and more oesteoblastic activity for bone opposition. Moreover, the pulsational effect on the tooth on the adjacent periodontal membrane and bone tends to loosen their fibrous structure, and helps the tooth to find a path of least resistance through the bone. |

An orthodontic face bow for applying at least extrusion and/or intrusion forces to teeth in a controlled and reliable manner comprises an inner bow member having first and second ends to be coupled to respective teeth in the mouth; and an outer bow member coupled to the inner bow member at a substantially central portion thereof, the inner and outer bow members being rotatable relative to each other. A resilient biassing means is coupled between the inner and outer bow members for resiliently biassing one of the bow members relative to the other to cause one of the bow members to rotate relative to the other to apply at least one of the aforementioned extrusion and intrusion forces to the teeth to which the inner bow member is coupled. Also disclosed is an arrangement in which the inner and outer bow members are both mounted intra-oral and further arrangements which limit the amount of rotation of one of the bow members relative to the other. |

Orthodontic device of the extra-oral and intra-oral bow type characterized by a pivotal connection between the bow wires and resilient means for applying torque forces to the intra-oral bow in addition to traction forces thereto. Direction of torque may be selected and non-symmetrical force may be applied to the intra-oral bow.

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. |

A method and apparatus for preventing sleep apnea employs an external clamp that has a first pad that engages the upper lip beneath the nose and a second pad that engages the lower jaw on its underside, behind the mandibular symphysis. The pads are connected to each other by a flexible member, or brace. Preferably the second pad is rounded on that portion that contacts the lower jaw. The clamp is held in place by one or more straps, braces or springs that pass about the patient's head. The first pad is held such that it presses against the upper lip while the second pad closes the lower jaw and pulls it forwardly and upwardly using relatively small forces. |
