(項目8)
前記タブは裏面を含み、該裏面は、使用時に、前記歯が完全に萠出すると、該歯の上面と嵌合するように成形される、項目1に記載の歯科装置。
(項目9)
前記タブは側面を含み、該側面は、使用時に、前記歯の側面と嵌合するように成形される、項目1に記載の歯科装置。
(項目10)
歯を移動させるように成形されるいくつかの装置のうちの項目1から9のいずれか一項に記載の第1の歯科装置であって、完全に萠出していない歯の位置を表す第1の長さのタブを有する、第1の歯科装置と、
該いくつかの装置のうちの項目1から9のいずれか一項に記載の第2の歯科装置であって、歯の位置を表す第2の長さのタブを有する、第2の歯科装置と

タブの1つ以上の表面の厚さは、使用時に、萌出中の歯に接触するように定寸される、項目10に記載の歯科システム。
(項目15)
タブの裏面は、使用時に、萌出中の歯の上面と接触するように配置されるように設計され、該タブの裏面を形成する水平表面は、使用時に、完全に萌出した歯の上面と接触するように配向される前記第1の歯科装置の他の部分を形成するそれらの水平表面よりも下方に配置されることが可能である、項目10に記載の歯科システム。
(項目16)
第1の歯科装置における表面の奥行または厚さのうちの少なくとも1つは、前記第2の歯科装置における対応する表面よりも大きい、項目10に記載の歯科システム。
(項目17)
前記第2の長さのタブは、前記第1の長さのタブよりも長い、項目10から16のいずれか一項に記載の歯科システム。
(項目18)
