Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to the field of orthodontics, and in particular to the use of a hybrid orthodontic appliance, and methods of making and using the same.
  • Orthodontic tooth movement is accomplished by fixed and/or removable appliances.
  • One type of appliances that is gaining popularity is orthodontic aligners or clear aligners.
  • Clear aligners are a type of removable appliances used to move the teeth by having the patient wear the said aligner for 1-2 weeks and then switching to another sequential tray where they wear it for 1-2 weeks and so on and so forth.
  • Clear aligners are fabricated by thermoforming a heat sensitive clear plastic sheet onto a dental model of the teeth.
  • the teeth are shifted by a small increment in position and orientation.
  • the concept is that the when the patient wears the plastic trays they will flex and distort and apply force to the teeth forcing them into a new position similar to the dental model used to fabricate the tray. The process is repeated for the number of trays needed to place the teeth in a final position prescribed by a treating doctor or orthodontist.
  • Invisalign® a polymer-based aligner based on U.S. Patent No. 5,975,893 (Chishti et al.) and other related patents.
  • Extraction cases In extraction cases crowding resolved by extraction of teeth. Usually a premolar is extracted from each quadrant to create enough room to align the remaining teeth. The overall amount of teeth movement is usually quite significantly larger than non extraction cases. Aligners are usually not suitable for extraction cases and usually orthodontist would use edgewise appliances comprised of braces and arch wires to move the teeth in extraction cases.
  • Root Movement in general cannot be achieve properly with aligners.
  • Aligners made of plastic cannot exert the amount of force necessary to achieve expansion in the upper and lower arches and are not effective for treatment in the above described areas. Additionally, treatment in these areas requires en-mass movement of distinctive group of teeth, which causes treating using conventional clear aligners difficult, if not impossible.
  • a hybrid orthodontic appliance comprising two or more orthodontic aligner segments and one or more orthodontic arch wires,
  • each of the aligner segments exerts an aligning force on one or more teeth of a dental arch, but less than all the teeth of the dental arch, of a patient, and
  • the one or more orthodontic arch wires impart controllability to the appliance and augment properties of the aligner with the properties of orthodontic arch wires, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the aligner segments for realigning the one or more teeth.
  • properties of the orthodontic arch wires include strength, flexibility and resilience, and force loading.
  • the orthodontic arch wires are formed from a material comprising Stainless-Steel (SS), TMA (titanium molybdenum alloy), or Ni Ti material. Any biocompatible alloy can be used.
  • the one or more arch wires are shaped and placed in a design holding together the aligner segments.
  • the orthodontic arch wires are capable of being in direct contact with the teeth and their surrounding tissue or embedded within the aligner segment(s).
  • At least one of the aligner segments exerts the aligning force on a single tooth of the dental arch.
  • each of the aligner segments exerts an aligning force on one or more teeth of a dental arch, but less than all the teeth of the dental arch, of a patient, and

  • the orthodontic arch wires comprise open and/or close loops so as to increase the flexibility of the appliance.
  • the resilience and/or flexibility of the appliance are modulated by using different materials to form the wires and cutting an aligner into two or more aligner segments.
  • the pieces of the aligner are tied together with different shape and materials of wires to apply forced on different segments of the dental arch so as to allow for using a fewer number of trays to achieve tooth movements or using the same number of trays to generate a force sufficient to achieve tooth movements which may not be possible with a traditional aligner.

  • the Invisalign® aligners, and methods of making and using the same, are described in general in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,450,807, and 5,975,893, the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
  • the term "original position" of one or more teeth refers to the position of the one or more teeth of the target of treatment prior to the treatment using the appliance of invention; and the term “final position” refers to position of such one or more teeth at the conclusion time point of an orthodontic treatment course prescribed by a treating doctor; and the term “intermediate position” refers to any position between the original position and the final position of the one or more teeth of the target of treatment prescribed by a treating doctor.
  • the term "appliance” refers to an orthodontic device for moving a one or more teeth according to a prescription by a treating doctor.

  • the arch wires are combined with aligner to augment the properties of aligners with the properties of orthodontic arch wires.
  • the arch wire properties include the following:
  • opening and closing loops can be added to the wires to increase the flexibility of the appliance. By using different material for the wires and cutting an aligner into two or more aligner segments the overall flexibility and resilience of the appliance can be increased. This insures a more biologically acceptable appliance;
  • the aligner segments can be linked together with different shape and materials of wires to apply forced on different parts of the dental arch. This allows for using a fewer number of trays to achieve certain movements and enough force to achieve tooth movements which may not be possible with traditional aligners.
  • the invention appliance allows an aligning force to be focused on a selected number of teeth, and sometimes a single tooth, of the dental arch, which is absent in conventional plastic orthodontics. This feature of the invention appliance would allow for a more efficient orthodontic treatment, reducing time and cost of orthodontic treatment.
