Abstract: The instant invention provides dental aligner(s) that can be better tuned to deliver a specific and more stable (lower creep) force on the teeth while also being softer and thinner. The instant dental aligners also provide the medical practitioner greater control to customize the treatment based on a patient's therapeutic stage, discreet requirements, and pain tolerance.

Abstract: Process for programming an orthodontic component from a shape memory material starting from an initial shape of the orthodontic component into a target shape to be programmed of the orthodontic component, wherein the target shape compared to the initial shape at least sectionally has a severe bending, the process comprising the following steps:



a. providing an orthodontic component (1) of a shape memory material in an initial shape,
b. creating a target baking mold for the orthodontic component (1),
c. inserting the orthodontic component (1) into the target baking mold, and
d. baking the orthodontic component (1) in the target baking mold in order to program it into the target shape,

characterized by the following steps after step a)


e. creating at least one intermediate baking mold for the orthodontic component (1), in which intermediate baking mold the orthodontic component (1) has an intermediate shape between the initial shape and the target shape,
f. inserting the orthodontic component (1) into the intermediate baking mold, and
g. baking the orthodontic component (1) in the intermediate baking mold.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a dental screwdriver having a shaft portion made of a smart type alloy that bends with little or no resistance along an arch forming portion thereof and without imparting torqueing forces along a distal front end portion thereof onto which is connected a drive tip designed to interface with an appropriately sized screw. The smart alloy automatically assumes its original shape in the absence of twisting forces on the shaft along the arch forming portion. In an alternate embodiment, assuming the original shape involves applying heat and/or subtle finger pressure. The dental screwdriver may be part of a set of screwdrivers, each having a distal front end portion which is uniquely weighted, sized and/or dimensioned to accommodate different driver tips, handle different torqueing functions, and/or configured to bend to a specific maximum angular arch without permanent deformation. A dental prosthetic having a curved bore cavity is also described.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for adjustably retaining an oral appliance to an abutment assembly are disclosed. In one variation, a securement apparatus can comprise a sleeve having a sleeve frame and a number of locking flaps. The sleeve can define a lumen therethrough for positioning upon an abutment assembly. The locking flaps can have varying length dimensions and can project radially inward or outward relative to the sleeve frame. The outward flaps can lock against surface features defined along an inner surface of a coping coupled to the oral appliance and the inward flaps can lock against surface features defined along a portion of the abutment assembly. The sleeve can release the oral appliance from the abutment assembly when the locking flaps of the sleeve are actuated by an actuation unit.
