Title:
ORTHODONTIC DEVICE-SETTING TOOL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/125340
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The orthodontic device-setting tool (1) is provided with: a fitting section (11) having a fitting surface, which covers and fits together with at least one of the incisal margin, the dental cusp, or the occlusal surface of a tooth; a foundation section (12), which has a back surface that adheres closely to the labial/buccal surface or the lingual surface of the tooth and has, on the surface opposite the back surface, a front face on which the orthodontic device (3) is mounted; and a connecting section (13) that connects the fitting section and the foundation section. The tool has a frame section (123), which protrudes from the front face of the foundation section and can fit together with the orthodontic device. Use of the orthodontic device-setting tool makes it possible to mount orthodontic devices such as corrective brackets without holding the patient for long periods of time and to mount the orthodontic devices accurately at the desired three-dimensional mounting positions for the orthodontic devices regardless of the skill level of the dentist practitioner. Moreover, the tool can even be used with mass-produced general purpose orthodontic devices, which are not orthodontic devices that have been specially customized as to design, cut, etc. for individual patients.
