Abstract:
An orthodontic appliance for use in orthodontic treatment. The orthodontic appliance is selected from the group consisting of an orthodontic bracket (110, 200, 300), an orthodontic archwire (10), an orthodontic tool (20), and a discrete component (22, 24, 36, 112, 114, 116, 302, 306, 308) thereof. The orthodontic appliance is made of a metallic glass. The orthodontic appliance may be an orthodontic bracket (110, 200, 300) for coupling an archwire (10) with a tooth. The orthodontic bracket (110, 200, 300) comprises a bracket body (112, 202, 302) including an archwire slot (118, 204, 304), the bracket body (112, 202, 302) being made of a metallic glass. The orthodontic bracket (110, 300) further comprises a movable member (114, 306) made of a metallic glass and operatively coupled to the bracket body (112, 302) and movable between an opened position in which the archwire (10) is insertable into the archwire slot (118, 304) and a closed position in which the movable member (114, 306) retains the archwire (10) in the archwire slot (118, 304). The orthodontic bracket (110, 300) further comprises a pin (116, 308) coupling the movable member (114, 306) to the bracket body (112, 302).
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Rohlingen für endodontische Instrumente (1), Rohlinge, endodontische Instrumente (1) und eine Zuführvorrichtung. Das Verfahren umfasst die Schritte des Bereitstellens mindestens einer Stange (2) und des Bearbeitens der wenigstens einen Stange (2) mittels Drahterodiertechnik, wobei ein Erodiermuster (4) auf die mindestens eine Stange (2) aufgebracht wird. Das von der mindestens einen Stange (2) wegerodierte Material lagert sich hierbei mindestens partiell als Schicht wieder an die mindestens eine Stange (2) an. Die Schicht des angelagerten Materials weist eine Oberflächenhärte auf, die im Wesentlichen der Härte des Materials der mindestens einen Stange (2) entspricht.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A ceramic coated aesthetic orthodontic appliance is described as well as methods for making one. The appliance can be an archwire or a bracket. The ceramic coated aesthetic appliance can include an orthodontic archwire having a surface, an aesthetic coating covering at least a portion of the surface, and a ceramic coating layer covering at least a portion of the aesthetic coating. The aesthetic coating can be an aesthetic polymer coating and the ceramic coating layer can be deposited using a low temperature process such as ion beam assisted deposition. An ion beam surface cleaning step may also be added to enhance the adhesion of the ceramic coating layer.
Abstract:
The brace comprises: a chest plate; a chin support; a rod having a top surface, the rod adjustably attached to the chest plate; and an adjustable linkage connected to the top surface and to the chin support. The brace is used to immobilize a Patient' s chin relative to The Patient' s spinal column, the Patient' s chest, or both when the Patient's chin is placed upon the chin support.
