Title:
EMBEDDED FUNCTION AND METHOD OF DENTAL APPLIANCE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2009297525
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a preferable embedded function and method of dental appliance.
Traditional orthodontic treatment often involves the use of basic repositioning devices and the use of supplementary devices, components or accessories to achieve desired end results. The components may be mounted on fixed, non-removable devices or they may be part of a removable appliance normally mounted prior to the application of the fixed devices. With traditional treatment, it may be desired to utilize similar components when repositioning teeth with removable elastic repositioning appliances. Due to the nature of elastic appliances, the components may take a variety of forms ranging from readily available conventional accessories to specially created devices.
