| 244 | CLASS II MALOCCLUSION CORRECTION APPLIANCE FOR REMOVABLE ALIGNERS | US14848054 | 2015-09-08 | US20160067014A1 | 2016-03-10 | Kraig Jennings Kottemann; Scott William Kottemann |
| An orthodontic correction appliance may be directly connected to upper and lower removable orthodontic aligners to treat a Class II malocclusion. In some examples, the correction appliance has two elongated sections that are slidably connected to each other and allowed to move back and forth relative to each other. The ends of the two elongated sections can be attached to connectors extending from the removable aligners. In addition, the correction appliance can carry a biasing member that is connected to each of the two elongated sections of the appliance. The biasing member may bias the ends of the two elongated sections away from each other, providing a force to treat the Class II malocclusion while the patient is wearing the upper and lower removable orthodontic aligners. | ||||||

| Orthodontic force modules and assemblies for use in correcting class II and/or class III malocclusions include an elongate hollow outer body extending between proximal and distal ends, a plunger, spring, and push rod. The plunger and push rod are slidably received within different ends of the hollow outer body. The spring is positioned within the hollow outer body and provides an expansion force during use as the force modules or assemblies is compressed (e.g., when closing the jaw). The expansion force provides a desired corrective force for corrective Class II and/or III malocclusions. The outer body, plunger, spring, and push rod can be configured in a telescoping relationship in order for the components to be telescopically compressed and expanded during use. The distal end can include a bendable pin or latch mechanism for attachment to a buccal tube. The push rod can include a hook, hole, or slot for attachment to an archwire. Various connectors for coupling an orthodontic force module to a buccal tube portion of a molar bracket are also disclosed. | ||||||

| 252 | CUSTOMIZED WIRE DEVICE FOR ORTHODONTIC ALIGNMENT | US14269109 | 2014-05-03 | US20150250560A1 | 2015-09-10 | PAWAN GAUTAM |
| The appliance of the present invention is a customized wire device for orthodontic alignment of the mal-aligned teeth. The final position and orientation of the brackets are assessed by simulating the desired aligned stage. Once the final position and orientation of the brackets is known from the simulated aligned stage, this bracket position and orientation is preserved by passing a wire passively through these brackets at the desired aligned stage. This passive wire essentially forms a template of final aligned stage; when securely engaged in the brackets on the mal-aligned stage this wire needs to be deflected and generates forces that align the teeth to its designed aligned stage due to elastic recoil of the wire. | ||||||

| Mandibular advancement device (1; 20) and a device preparation method and kit, comprising a mouthpiece (2) and at least one plastic strap (5; 21) with two ends (7) fitted with a slot (9) that is connected articulately to a respective cylindrical portion (11) of a lateral protrusion (10) of the mouthpiece (2). The slot (9) is closed and is longer in length than the diameter of the cylindrical portion (11), which can move along the slot (9). The strap (5; 21) acts by traction between the cylindrical portions (11) of the mouthpiece (2) to prevent the free return of the lower portion (4) with respect to the upper portion (3) of the mouthpiece (2) and therefore treats apnea, whilst allowing some advancement and lateral movement of the lower portion (4), making it comfortable for the user. | ||||||

| 259 | Orthodontic Appliance For Bite Correction | US14201445 | 2014-03-07 | US20140329193A1 | 2014-11-06 | James J. Jasper |
| A bite-correcting orthodontic appliance attaches directly to the elements of braces (i.e., brackets and archwires); flexes in its distal 25-45% to stay away from the food bolus; has a smooth rectangular profile for patient comfort; and introduces gentle force vectors to the patient's upper and lower teeth that sweep in an arch to lift up on the front of the molar and down on the lower front teeth as the appliance tries to return to its preinstalled (passive) state, resulting in rapid, yet gentle changes unseen in the orthodontic industry. A lock-and-key attachment member is disclosed allowing for ease of installment in the patient's mouth. | ||||||
| 260 | PIN CONNECTOR FOR ORTHODONTIC FORCE MODULE | US14209644 | 2014-03-13 | US20140272755A1 | 2014-09-18 | Colby M. Radmall; Robert A. Miller |
| A pin connector for attaching an orthodontic force module to an orthodontic appliance is configured to preferentially bend in a middle segment along an elongate pin body of the pin connector. The pin connector includes an elongate pin body and an extension rod extending laterally from an end of the pin body for interconnecting the pin body and an orthodontic force module. The elongate pin body includes first, second and third segments, with the second segment having reduced cross-sectional diameter relative to the first and third segments so that pin body preferentially bends in the second segment rather than the first and third segments when attaching the orthodontic force module to the orthodontic appliance. This provides a preselected amount of distance or play between the orthodontic force module and the orthodontic appliance. | ||||||
