Abstract: A bite-correcting orthodontic appliance attaches directly to the elements of braces (i.e., brackets and archwires); flexes in its distal 25-45% to stay away from the food bolus; has a smooth rectangular profile for patient comfort; and introduces gentle force vectors to the patient's upper and lower teeth that sweep in an arch to lift up on the front of the molar and down on the lower front teeth as the appliance tries to return to its preinstalled (passive) state, resulting in rapid, yet gentle changes unseen in the orthodontic industry. A lock-and-key attachment member is disclosed allowing for ease of installment in the patient's mouth.

Abstract: A bite-correcting orthodontic appliance attaches directly to the elements of braces (i.e., brackets and archwires); flexes in its distal 25-45% to stay away from the food bolus; has a reduced elliptical profile for patient comfort; and introduces gentle force vectors to the patient's upper and lower teeth that sweep in an arch to lift up on the front of the molar and down on the lower front teeth as the appliance tries to return to its preinstalled (passive) state, resulting in rapid, yet gentle changes unseen in the orthodontic industry. Various attachment members are disclosed allowing for ease of installment in the patient's mouth.

Abstract: An orthodontic appliance for correcting an overbite or underbite condition is disclosed. The appliance comprises one or a pair of flexible members which are attached at opposite ends to the upper and lower jaws of a patient. The end attachments allow the members to swivel freely and the members to bend when the patient is chewing, talking or cleaning his or her teeth, but when the patient is relaxed, the appliance members tend to straighten and apply a small but continuous force generally along the normal growth direction for a human jaw to overcome the abnormality being treated.
