Abstract: 환자의구개를확장하기위한해제가능하고제거가능한구개확장기장치(100)("구개확장기")와이의사용및 제조방법. 이러한해제가능한구개확장기(100)는환자또는보호자에의한제거를용이하게하도록구성되고, 견인력이가해질때 예측가능하게구부러지거나파손(break)될수 있도록구성된브리치영역(breach region)(167)을포함할수 있다. 본명세서에서설명된구개확장기장치(100)는환자의치아상에구개확장기를잠그기위한하나이상의잠금부(lock)를포함할수 있다. 잠금부(들)는치아로부터구개확장기를해제하도록잠금해제(unlock)될수 있다. 잠금부는, 잠금부를수동으로잠금해제하기위한제어부를포함할수 있다. 잠금부를잠금해제하는것은구개확장기가환자의치아로부터자동적으로분리되게할 수있다.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to an aligner breakage solution. A method includes obtaining a digital design of a polymeric aligner for a dental arch of a patient. The polymeric aligner is shaped to apply forces to teeth of the dental arch. The method also includes performing an analysis on the digital design of the polymeric aligner using at least one of a) a trained machine learning model, b) a numerical simulation, c) a geometry evaluator or d) a rules engine. The method may also include determining, based on the analysis, whether the digital design of the polymeric aligner includes probable points of damage, wherein for a probable point of damage there is a threshold probability that breakage, deformation, or warpage will occur. The method may also include, responsive to determining that the digital design of the polymeric aligner comprises probable points of damage, performing corrective actions based on the probable points of damage.

Abstract: Releasable and removable palatal expander apparatuses (100) for expanding a patient's palate ("palatal expanders") and methods of using and making them. These releasable palatal expanders (100) are adapted for ease in removal by the patient or caregiver, and may include a breach region (167) configured to predictably bend or break when a pulling force is applied. The palatal expander apparatuses (100) described herein may include one or more locks for locking the palatal expander onto the patient's teeth. The lock(s) may be unlocked to release the palatal expander from the teeth. A lock may include a control for manually unlocking the lock. Unlocking the locks may allow the palatal expander to automatically disengage from the patient's teeth.
