433016000 | Having adjustable or angular arch wire guide | 10 |
20080293005 | ADJUSTABLE ORTHODONTIC BRACKET - An adjustable orthodontic bracket including an body member for fixing orthodontic arch wire in a position such that a predetermined stress is generated and applied to the tooth to be treated; a bonding base member for bonding the bracket to a buccal or lingual surface of a tooth to be treated; and a bendable element, wherein the bendable element connects the body member to the bonding base member. The body member includes a slot for the arch wire, wherein the bendable element enables to adjust accurate angles of the slot. The bendable element can be rigid or flexible wherein in the flexible form, a holding device is further included. The present invention further provides tools to band and/or rotate the adjustable orthodontic bracket of the present invention. | 11-27-2008 |
20090186313 | Metallic dental devices with tooth colors and their preparation methods - Metallic devices are frequently used in dental treatments, such as orthodontic archwires, rackets, or dental mini-screws. This invention provides metallic dental devices with a color of tooth or close to tooth, and their preparation methods. | 07-23-2009 |
20110311935 | Orthodontic connector assembly and a method for treating teeth - An orthodontic connector assembly | 12-22-2011 |
20120148973 | ORTHODONTIC BRACE SYSTEM AND METHOD - An orthodontic brace system includes brackets having a diamond-shaped tie-wing configuration that defines two parallel, horizontal slots, each of which is adapted to receive an archwire. Each slot is angled with respect to the base of the bracket to produce a specific, maximum torque value, and generally, the maximum torque value of the gingival slot is less than the maximum torque value of the incisal slot. The brackets provide multiple force vectors in different directions simultaneously, which decreases the amount of time required for a patient to wear braces, reduces the number of costly and time consuming visits to an orthodontist, and reduces time and effort required of an orthodontist for installation and adjustment of the braces on a per visit basis. | 06-14-2012 |

20160045284 | Orthodontic Bracket - An orthodontic bracket is described, and which includes a bracket base, which is releasably affixed to a patient's tooth; a bracket body borne on the bracket base, and which defines an arch wire slot, and which further has a selectively adjustable cross-sectional dimension; and an arch wire is received within the arch wire slot, and where the described embodiment of the bracket body, acting in combination with the arch wire is adjustable so as to provide a multiplicity of selective torque expressions, which act upon a patient's tooth. | 02-18-2016 |
20160045285 | Orthodontic Bracket - An orthodontic bracket is described, and which includes a bracket base, which is releasably affixed to a patient's tooth; a bracket body borne on the bracket base, and which defines an arch wire slot, and which further has a selectively adjustable cross-sectional dimension; and an arch wire is received within the arch wire slot, and where the described embodiment of the bracket body, acting in combination with the arch wire is adjustable so as to provide a multiplicity of selective torque expressions, which act upon a patient's tooth. | 02-18-2016 |
20160045286 | Orthodontic Bracket - An orthodontic bracket is described, and which includes a bracket base, which is releasably affixed to a patient's tooth; a bracket body borne on the bracket base, and which defines an arch wire slot, and which further has a selectively adjustable cross-sectional dimension; and an arch wire is received within the arch wire slot, and where the described embodiment of the bracket body, acting in combination with the arch wire is adjustable so as to provide a multiplicity of selective torque expressions, which act upon a patient's tooth. | 02-18-2016 |
20160128804 | ADJUSTABLE BRACKET, ORTHODONTICS SYSTEM WITH THE BRACKET AND TEETH ORTHODONTIC METHOD - An adjustable bracket is disclosed, including a main body and rotor, wherein the main body includes a base body which is provided with a base groove; the rotor is provided with a rotor body and a cover, the top of the rotor body is provided with a bracket slot, the cover is adapted to cover the top of the rotor body and cover the top of the opening of the bracket slot, the rotor is adapted to be pivotably connected to the base body, and the base body is further provided with a positioning portion for securing the rotor. An orthodontics system with the bracket and an orthodontic method are also disclosed. The adjustable bracket according to the present disclosure can be adjustable in torque, tip and the direction of the torsion on the tooth, and it can achieve a good corrective effect by simple operation. | 05-12-2016 |
20160143707 | Dynamic Bracket System - This invention is a dynamic orthodontic bracket system which allows brackets to be adjusted for particular angulations required for each individual tooth of a patient without having to adjust or reposition the frame. The frames are continuously attached to tooth surface. The orthodontist manually adjusts the relationship of a bracket and a frame during treatment eliminating the necessity of a full repositioning of all components. In particular, the bracket can be moved linearly and rotate 360 degrees within the frame. The bracket can be locked or unlocked within the frame with the use of a door and flexible body that acts as a brake. This system leads to lower treatment cost, a more stable bracket system, and quicker adjustments of the orthodontic bracket system. | 05-26-2016 |
