Abstract: The invention is a device for moving a patient's tooth or related group of teeth. It is comprised of a housing which is fastened onto a base arch within the patient's oral cavity and which includes an adjuster which is connected to a palatal lock on the tooth to be moved using the adjuster. The base arch originates at a fixed jaw implant and is inserted into a channel in the housing which is freely accessible from outside and securely clamped using a lock connected to the housing, preferably a turn-type lock with a threaded shaft by tightening the threaded shaft.

Abstract: An orthodontic device for displacing a tooth and/or a group of teeth of a patient, which directly adjoin the tooth along a mandibular arch, in particular in the lower jaw in the area of the molars, the device comprising: a rigid, dimensionally stable connection between the tooth to be displaced and an attachment point for the device which fixed to the jaw and substantially does not change during the treatment of the patient, a regulating device for changing the length of the rigid connection in direct vicinity of the tooth to be displaced. A torsion-proof attachment of the device in the jaw bone may be provided. Alternatively, a point of support is provided on one tooth.

Abstract: The adjustment screw (1) to lock the position and orientation of teeth along the jawbone includes a threaded nut (2) and a threaded spindle (3) transfixing it. The adjustment screw includes a recess (5) for a securing wire (6). To hold the securing wire in the recess a fixed locking mechanism (13) is provided next to the recess (5), into which is inserted a flat, U-shaped elastic clamp (16) with two free legs (17, 18). The locking mechanism (13, 13?) and the spring clamp (16) include corresponding engaging mechanisms (23, 24; 21, 22) to hold the inserted spring clamp (16) in position. In this position, the ends of the legs (17, 18) of the spring clamp (16) cover the recess (5) in order to hold the securing wire (6) in the recess (5).

Abstract: The invention relates to a bracket (1, 21) for an arch wire (6) for correcting malaligned teeth having a saucer-shaped base (2, 22) to be provided on a tooth, a bracket foot (3, 23) seated on the base, and a slot (5, 25) on the upper side of the bracket foot for integrating the arch wire (6). To obtain a small bracket and reduce the danger of the bracket being bitten off, in particular when the brackets are used for teeth in the lower jaw, the invention proposes providing one side wall (4, 24) of the bracket (1, 21), namely the side wall facing the masticatory surface, with a flat outside wall (4, 24) without protruding elements, at least in the area of the slot (5, 25). An apparatus for taking up an attachment aid can be formed in this outside wall, e.g. in the form of a lug (13) or a groove or channel (16) open toward the bracket foot.
