==SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ADJUSTING DENTAL APPLIANCES USING ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240233918 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ADJUSTING DENTAL APPLIANCES USING ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

'''Simplified Explanation:'''
The patent application describes a system and method for adjusting a dental appliance by modifying a corresponding digital dental appliance model using additive manufacturing technology.

* The system includes a 3D printer system and a controller running software.
* The system can 3D print a dental appliance, identify areas that need modification, automatically adjust the digital model, and reprint the appliance with the modifications.

'''Key Features and Innovation:'''
* Utilizes additive manufacturing technology for dental appliance adjustment.
* Automatic adjustment of digital dental appliance model through pixel offsetting.
* Streamlines the process of modifying dental appliances for better fit and comfort.

'''Potential Applications:'''
* Customized dental appliances for patients.
* Rapid prototyping of dental appliances for testing and development.

'''Problems Solved:'''
* Inefficient manual adjustment of dental appliances.
* Lack of precision in modifying dental appliance models.

'''Benefits:'''
* Improved fit and comfort for dental appliance users.
* Faster turnaround time for adjustments.
* Enhanced accuracy in modifying dental appliance models.

'''Commercial Applications:'''
The technology can be used in dental clinics, orthodontic practices, and dental laboratories to streamline the process of adjusting dental appliances for patients.

'''Questions about Dental Appliance Adjustment:'''
1. How does the system identify areas of the dental appliance that need modification?
2. What are the advantages of using additive manufacturing technology for adjusting dental appliances?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a system and method of adjusting a dental appliance by modifying a corresponding digital dental appliance model. the system includes an additive manufacturing system (e.g., a 3d printer system) and a controller running software. the system is designed to (i) 3d print a dental appliance using an initial digital dental appliance model, (ii) determine any portions of the printed dental appliance that may require modification, (iii) automatically adjust the appliance's digital model by performing pixel offsetting to implement a modification, and (iv) reprint the appliance using the modified digital model.
