Abstract: An orthodontic slider apparatus is disclosed. The orthodontic slider is used to apply intra or inter maxillary forces to distalize or mesialize teeth. The orthodontic slider of the current invention can easily be applied to the archwire of the fixed brackets of an orthodontic appliance without having to remove the archwire from the brackets. The slider utilizes self locking arms that allow it to easily attach to or detach from the archwire.

Abstract: This invention is related to easily maintain the mesio-distal dimension of the lost deciduous tooth and at the same time providing the appliance to be adjusted to any posterior space even at the first visit. If necessary it can also re-gain the lost space. The apparatus can be manufactured of Cr-Ni, titanium or similar metals. The appliances has two bondable surfaces to bond the appliance to the buccal surfaces of the teeth adjacent to the extraction space, the anterior and posterior vertical connecting arms extending from these surfaces to the vestibular side of the teeth, adjusted to the dental and gingival contours. The posterior tubular arm conforming to its name possesses two. The thinner one which is soldered at the bottom of the front side is called the “guide tube” and it has wider internal diameter than the other tube. While gaining space, it guides the “anterior piston arm” directly to the second tube of the “posterior tubular arm”, when these two arms are angulated due to the bended adjacent teeth.

Abstract: The dental appliance includes a bite raiser body having vestibular and palatal sides. The vestibular side includes proximal wings for connecting the body to a molar tube. The body includes arms diverging toward the palatal side and terminating in an interconnecting base. A T-shaped spur projects outwardly from the base. The arms include a pair of occlusal stops and the base has an occlusal stop, all stops projecting within the arms and base. By connecting the insertion wings to the molar tube and connecting the spur to the tooth, the occlusal stops overlie the occlusal surface, raising the bite.
