Abstract: Systems for and method of shaping non-sliding orthodontic archforms. A system with a robot and a plurality of arms. The robot can indicate a position for the plurality of arms based on a virtual model of a patient's teeth in aligned positions. The plurality of arms can be moved to the positions indicated by the robot. An archform can be coupled to the plurality of arms to assume a custom shape corresponding to the patient's teeth in the virtual model in the aligned positons and configured to move the patient's teeth to the aligned positions. The archform can be set in the custom shape by heat such that the custom shape is the memorized shape of the archform.

Abstract: An orthodontic bracket and archform system that uses friction-free mechanics are disclosed. The archform can have a male fastener that can be retained within an orthodontic bracket. The orthodontic bracket can have varying locking mechanism, such as deflectable tabs, springs, locking pins, and others, that can cooperate with features of the male fastener to prevent sliding between the archform and the bracket.
