The present invention relates to a palatal absolute anchorage for straightening teeth in a lingual traction procedure. The palatal absolute anchorage for straightening teeth according to the present invention includes: an anchor body through which a screw hole passes so as to be fixed to a palate using a screw and a hook disposed on the anchor body and connected to a traction member. The hook includes a plurality of traction member connection portions to variously set a point and direction of application of a traction force. According to the present invention, the traction member connection portions may be varied in position, and a connection operation of the traction member may be easily performed in a narrow space within an oral cavity. According to need, since the point and direction of application of the traction force can be adjusted, accuracy of the orthodontics and convenience of a procedure can be improved. In addition, the burden on patients may be reduced. |

Methods and apparatus for orthodontic treatment planning that involve determining an initial position of an orthodontic structure, determining an altered position, and generating response surface data using a mathematical relationship between the positions. The mathematical relationship may be defined by a number of parameters useful for determining one or more of the stress, strain, force, and moment associated with movement of the orthodontic structure. The mathematical relationship between the initial position and the altered position may be defined using a finite element analysis, empirically determined, or using other computational methodologies such as a finite difference methodology. The mathematical relationship may also be defined using an analytical methodology, such as elasticity and/or plasticity methodologies. Response surface data may be generated as a teaching aid, treatment planning aid, table, or other useful form, which may be useful, for example, for designing an orthodontic appliance, verifying an orthodontic prescription, and/or planning the prescription. |

Dental instruments (210) made from a super-flexible alloy, which includes atoms from the group IVB and group VB transition metals and oxygen have superior strength and flexibility. The metal alloys are cold worked to increase the tensile strength of the dental instruments (210). Cold working the metal also increases the flexibility of the dental instruments (210). In one particular example a super-elastic endodontic file (210) is described. |

A novel orthodontic bracket system comprised of orthodontic appliances, such as brackets or buccal tubes, with a vertical instead of conventional horizontal slot orientation. The occlusal-gingival slot orientation minimizes the risk of unintentional debonding of the bracket as a result of insertion and removal of the archwire. An archwire retention mechanism designed to guide, retain and/or seat the archwire. The archwire retention mechanism releases the archwire from the archwire slot whenever appropriate force is applied, or manipulation of physical properties of the material are altered by the operator. |

Appliances (200) for orthodontic treatment comprising a support structure are disclosed. The appliances may include body portions (12) provided with anchoring devices (16) for anchoring to the posterior teeth. In one example, an appliance includes a removable lingual bow (140) having a pair of distal parts (79a), and the body portions (12) have sleeves (81) for receiving the distal parts (79a). A pair of removable biasing members (82) may be housed within the sleeves (81) to bias the lingual bow (140) in an anterior direction. The appliance (200) may include a labial bow (220) comprising a pair of elastic distal parts (89) to bias a medial part (124) in a posterior direction. A labial bow comprising a pair of side members that are biased in a posterior direction to urge a medial part into engagement with the anterior teeth is also disclosed. The appliance may include an adjustable connector disposed to apply an adjustable retraction force to draw the body portions together to close gaps between the teeth. |

The present invention relates to an orthodontic fixing apparatus. The orthodontic fixing apparatus includes a linear fixing body having a plurality of connection grooves bisymmetrically defined in the left and right sides thereof, and a plurality of cylindrical fixing rings disposed on the upper and lower sides of the central portion of the fixing body using a connection member as a medium to insert screws respectively therein, to thereby fix the fixing body to the palate. Each of the fixing rings may protrude at a width of about 0.1 mm to about 4 mm in the direction in which the fixing rings contact the palate to minimize the contact area of the fixing ring or the fixing body with the palate. Also, the fixing ring may include a taper having a diameter that gradually increases from an inlet toward an outlet along an insertion direction of the screw and the female screw therein. Thus, since the screw is firmly supported and inserted into the palate, the fixing apparatus may serve as a firm fixing point. Also, since the fixing apparatus is easily installed, the fixing apparatus is convenient to use. In addition, since the fixing apparatus is fixed while minimizing the contact area with the palate, it may prevent the palate from being damaged or prevent the palate from becoming infected. |
