A pre-adjusted self-aligner includes two or more attachments for attaching to teeth with an attachment material, tubes passing through each of the two or more attachments, a free floating wire or cable passing through the tubes, and end caps on free ends of the wire or cable. A method of correcting dental misalignments includes providing a representation of a patient's mouth to a computer for determining a course of treatment. Pre-adjusted self-aligners are created corresponding to stages of treatment. Each pre-adjusted self-aligner is removably attached to a corresponding model of the patient's mouth at intermediate stages. A first pre-adjusted self-aligner is removed from the model and attached to the patient's teeth. The first pre-adjusted self- aligner is removed after a predetermined time. A subsequent pre-adjusted self aligner is installed on the patient's teeth and removed after a specified time. The installing and removing process is repeated until treatment is completed. | ||||||

271 | COMPUTING FINAL OCCLUSION WITH RESPECT TO TORQUE LOSS IN A THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIRTUAL ORTHODONTIC SYSTEM | EP05825657.9 | 2005-10-31 | EP1817704B1 | 2018-01-10 | RABY, Richard E.; STARK, Nicholas, A. |
An orthodontic treatment planning system is described that models the effects of torque losses within an orthodontic archwire-appliance system when computing a predicted final occlusion for a dental arch. The treatment planning system models engagement of the archwire with the orthodontic appliances at each appliance position along the length of the archwire. The treatment planning system iteratively determines the twist angle of the archwire at each appliance position along the length of the archwire and incrementally adjusts the orientation and the position of each tooth based on the determined twist angles until the twist angle at each position along the archwire is within a defined tolerance of zero. When the twist angle at each position along the archwire is within a defined tolerance of zero, the archwire is relaxed and a 3D representation of the computed final occlusion of the dental arch may be displayed. | ||||||
