Patents by Inventor Harry Smiley

Harry Smiley has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Integrated oral magnetic osteogenic appliances
    Patent number: 4511330
    Abstract: The invention contemplates a body-mounted fixture for supporting a source of magnetic flux in position as appropriate to coact with intra-oral magnet structure, to non-invasively achieve orthodontic and/or periodontic therapy. In coaction with an intra-oral magnet, the extra-orally mounted source of magnetic flux establishes an orthodontic-force environment (with a range of resultant-force magnitudes and directions), and/or a therapeutically beneficial environment for a selected region of tooth and alveolar bone requiring osteogenesis and soft-tissue repair.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 3, 1983
    Date of Patent: April 16, 1985
    Assignee: Medical Magnetics, Inc.
    Inventors: Harry Smiley, Abraham Blechman
  • Magnetic orthodontic torquing appliance
    Patent number: 4508505
    Abstract: The invention contemplates configurations of permanently magnetized magnetic elements adapted for fixation to different teeth for so torsionally reacting with each other as to apply continuous unidirectional torque as needed for particular orthodontic applications. The magnetic reaction responsible for such torque development is also instrumental in providing an environment for concurrent development of osteogenesis and soft-tissue repair, in aid of the orthodontic displacement process.

  • Integrated oral magnetic osteogenic appliances
    Patent number: 4484895
    Abstract: The invention contemplates a unitary intra-oral positioning fixture for use in orthodontic and/or periodontal therapy and bone augmentation. The fixture provides compliant support for two coacting sources of magnetic flux, respectively positioned on the lingual and buccal sides of a region of a tooth or teeth (and adjacent alveolar bone) requiring osteogenesis and soft-tissue repair.

  • Integrated oral magnetic osteogenic and orthodontic appliances
    Patent number: 4457707
    Abstract: Various types of magnetic or electromagnetic appliances attached intra-orally or extra-orally are used to produce osteogenesis and soft tissue repair in the practice of periodontics and orthodontics. Simultaneously, these innovative magnetic modules generate force fields that produce corrective tooth movement.
