Abstract: A system and method for enhancing the function of orthodontic aligners is disclosed. The system is comprised of a conventional plastic dental aligner and a plurality of small magnets. Said magnets being affixed by means of a composite to both individual teeth as well as the aligner in corresponding locations. An object of the system is to slowly move teeth into alignment by applying an additional force to teeth through a magnetic pull.

Abstract: A vestibular electronic orthodontic appliance expediter constituted of a lingual sub-member and a buccal sub-member, the lingual sub-member arranged to fit a lingual contour of a gum of a patient, the buccal sub-member arranged to fit a buccal contour of a gum of the patient; a control circuitry; a power supply; a plurality of lingual electrodes, each associated with a particular tooth socket; and a plurality of buccal electrodes, each associated with a particular tooth socket. Either a first or a second type current is generated between lingual and buccal electrodes responsive to the control circuitry. Biochemical molecules involved in bone remodeling, augmented by the electric currents, may be applied to the expediter as a layer of gel containing those molecules on the expediter surface facing the gum tissue. Temperature control enhances the gel effects. pH measurement, as indicators of the cellular response to the combined treatment is further provided.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to improve and accelerate orthodontic tooth movement and alveolar bone apposition and resorption, constituted of a device providing biocompatible contact anode in contact with gingival epithelia at the area of osteoclastic activity, and biocompatible contact cathode in contact with gingival epithelia at the area of osteoblastic activity, arranged to apply electric current across the anode and the cathode to stimulate alveolar bone remodeling. The method and apparatus provide for an electronic circuit that is pre-programmed via wireless communication to adjust the electric current magnitude and time duration so as to enhance tooth movement, oseteogenesis, and osteoclasia.
