Retainer for an Orthodontic Treatment and Method for Producing a Retainer of this Type - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240252283 titled 'Retainer for an Orthodontic Treatment and Method for Producing a Retainer of this Type
The abstract describes a retainer for orthodontic treatment that includes double wings, each consisting of a center piece and two wings laterally adjoining the center piece. The wings are formed areally with front and rear sides, allowing for surface bonding to the tooth and firm connection between the wings.
- The retainer allows for individualized adaptation without detaching the entire retainer for bonding renewal or in case of damage or loss of a double wing.
- An electronic image of the tooth row contour is utilized for customized producing the retainer using 3D printing or milling.
Potential Applications: - Orthodontic treatment - Dental care industry - Customized medical devices
Problems Solved: - Simplifies orthodontic treatment process - Allows for easy adaptation and customization - Reduces the need for frequent retainer replacements
Benefits: - Improved patient comfort - Enhanced treatment effectiveness - Cost-effective solution for orthodontic care
Commercial Applications: Title: Customized Orthodontic Retainer for Enhanced Treatment This technology can be used in orthodontic clinics, dental laboratories, and medical device manufacturing companies to provide personalized orthodontic treatment solutions.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the use of an electronic image of the tooth row contour improve the customization of the retainer? 2. What are the advantages of using 3D printing or milling for producing the retainer compared to traditional methods?
Original Abstract Submitted
a retainer for orthodontic treatment comprises one or more double wings, each double wings consisting of a center piece and two wings adjoining the center piece laterally, the wings are formed areally and each have a front side and a rear side, the front side being formed for surface bonding to the lateral surface of a tooth and the center piece firmly connecting the wings adjoining it to one another. the retainer allows for individualized adaptation without detaching the entire retainer for bonding renewal or in case of damage or loss of a double wing. an electronic image of the tooth row contour is utilized for customized producing the retainer by using 3d printing or milling.
