ORTHODONTIC DEVICE, PACKAGE, PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING ORTHODONTIC DEVICE, AND PROCESS OF USING ORTHODONTIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240325118 titled 'ORTHODONTIC DEVICE, PACKAGE, PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING ORTHODONTIC DEVICE, AND PROCESS OF USING ORTHODONTIC DEVICE
The abstract of this patent application describes an orthodontic device that includes a positioning member integrated with a support member. The positioning member has recesses to receive a portion of a tooth, while the support member has cavities to detachably retain orthodontic brackets. The device can be manufactured using additive manufacturing in one piece and can be used by bonding the brackets to teeth.
- The orthodontic device has a positioning member with recesses for teeth and a support member with cavities for orthodontic brackets.
- The device can be manufactured using additive manufacturing, allowing for a one-piece construction.
- Orthodontic brackets can be detachably retained in the cavities of the support member.
- The device can be used by bonding the orthodontic brackets to teeth.
- The device can be packaged in sealed packaging for hygiene and protection.
Potential Applications: - Orthodontic treatment - Dental care
Problems Solved: - Simplifies the process of orthodontic treatment - Provides a convenient and efficient way to attach orthodontic brackets
Benefits: - Easy to use - Customizable design - Cost-effective manufacturing process
Commercial Applications: Orthodontic clinics, dental offices, orthodontic supply companies
Questions about Orthodontic Device: 1. How does the additive manufacturing process benefit the production of this orthodontic device?
- Additive manufacturing allows for the creation of the device in one piece, simplifying the manufacturing process and ensuring structural integrity.
2. What are the advantages of detachably retaining orthodontic brackets in the cavities of the support member?
- Detachably retaining the brackets allows for easy replacement and adjustment during orthodontic treatment.
