System and method for producing tooth movement
InactiveUS7063533B2Sufficient levelAddressing Insufficient ControlOthrodonticsDental toolsEngineeringDental crowns
The present invention provides methods and systems of repositioning teeth for use in orthodontic treatment, with particular applicability to removable elastic repositioning appliances. Such appliances may be challenged by traditional tooth movements which intrude the crown of the tooth or present tooth positions which reduce available points of purchase. These challenges may be overcome with a series of tooth movements in which a tooth is translated in a “root-first” position. The movements may take advantage of the inherent characteristics of elastic repositioning appliances in translating a tooth from a first position to a desired position along a gingival plane.

The invention discloses an automatic tooth arrangement method and an automatic tooth arrangement device, relating to the medical field of digital orthodontics, and solving the problem that the automatic tooth arrangement is poor in accuracy. The main technical scheme is as follows: the automatic tooth arrangement method comprises the following steps: acquiring three-dimensional data of dentition needing orthodontics and three-dimensional data of craniofacial jaw bone; selecting feature points on the three-dimensional data of the dentition and the three-dimensional data of the craniofacial jaw bone; constructing tooth arrangement planes and dental arch curves according to the selected feature points, wherein the tooth arrangement planes comprise a median sagittal plane, a horizontal plane and a tooth arrangement occlusal plane, and the dental arch curves comprise an upper jaw tooth arrangement curve and a lower jaw tooth arrangement curve; moving teeth in the three-dimensional data of the dentition according to the preset tooth positions, so that a target dentition after orthodontics is formed, and the preset tooth positions comprise the target upper and lower dentition sagittal position, the target upper and lower dentition vertical position, and the target upper jaw and lower jaw among-dentition position. The automatic tooth arrangement method and the automatic tooth arrangement device are mainly used for the tooth arrangement in the orthodontics.

Virtual bracket library and uses thereof in orthodontic treatment planning
InactiveUS6971873B2Medical simulationPhysical therapies and activitiesOff the shelfMedical prescription
An orthodontic workstation stores a library of virtual three-dimensional brackets in a memory. Each of the virtual brackets has a unique three-dimensional configuration and prescription. Typically, the library of bracket comprises a library of commercially available, off-the-shelf brackets. The workstation further includes an interactive treatment planning program that permits a user to move teeth from a virtual model of the dentition to a proposed set-up. In one possible embodiment, the treatment planning program provides the ability to display a virtual bracket placed on a virtual tooth and change the prescription or configuration of the virtual bracket. The treatment program automatically compares the modified prescription with the prescription information of the virtual brackets in the library and selects a bracket from the library that most closely matches the virtual bracket displayed on the tooth. Thus, the user does not have to use customized brackets. Any deviation in tooth position resulting from a discrepancy between the off-the-shelf bracket and the user-defined bracket can be corrected for by changing the position of the bracket on the tooth or by changing the shape of the archwire.

ActiveUS20060152104A1Easy to controlImprove efficiencySynchronous generatorsWindingsElectric machineEngineering
A rotary electrical machine has a mechanism capable of varying an output characteristic, without increasing mechanical loss, or without consuming the electric power that does not contribute to increasing torque. The rotary electrical machine has a rotor with N pole and S pole magnets alternately and fixedly disposed thereon. An end surface, (which opposes the rotor), of each of a plurality of first teeth positioned on a first stator section is broader than that of the opposite surface thereof, and a winding is wound around a portion between both of the end surfaces. A second stator section has second teeth, corresponding the number of the first teeth, and which has no winding. The second teeth are disposed to oppose the end surfaces of the respective first teeth, and each second tooth is reciprocally movable between a reference position at which the second tooth directly opposes the respective first tooth and a maximum movable position located at the right center position between the respective end surfaces. At the reference position, a strong magnetic flux flows into the entire first tooth from each magnet. At the maximum movable position, a weak magnetic flux flows over the end surface of each first tooth. A middle amount of the magnetic flux flow occurs at a middle moved position.

Method to visualize and manufacture aligner by modifying tooth position
Orthodontic systems and related methods are disclosed for designing and providing improved or more effective tooth moving systems for eliciting a desired tooth movement and / or repositioning teeth into a desired arrangement. Methods and orthodontic systems include the generation of an overcorrection in the tooth-receiving cavities of an appliance worn in the dentition. The overcorrection may provide an improved and more accurately applied force or moment applied to a tooth. The overcorrected force or moment can move a tooth closer to a desired position than if not overcorrected as sufficient force can still applied to the tooth as it gets closer to the desired position. The overcorrected force or moment may also better target the root of the tooth where the biological response to tooth movement occurs. The overcorrection may be calculated in various ways as described herein.

The invention relates to a method for computing a yaw angle of a fan. In a cabin of the fan, at least two approach switch sensors are arranged at a position adjacent to a yaw rotary supporting gear. The method comprises the following steps of: when the fan yaws and the approach switch sensors rotate around the yaw rotary supporting gear and correspond to convex teeth and concave teeth positions of the yaw rotary supporting gear, generating different level signals; combining the level signals into a detection signal code, comparing the detection signal code with a preset code, and if cyclic sequences are not accordant, filtering out the level signals; and if the cyclic sequences are accordant, computing the yaw angle according to the level signals. The invention also discloses a system forcomputing the yaw angle of the fan. By the invention, high and low level signals for computation of the yaw angle are normal signals; inaccurate computation of the yaw angle, caused by a fault signal, is effectively avoided; and the computation accuracy of the yaw angle is guaranteed.
