Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for processing a natural language query. A receiver circuitry receives the natural language query from a user. A natural language interpreter circuitry parses the natural language query to convert the natural language query into a plurality of categories and a plurality of variables, each variable in the plurality of variables corresponding to one category in the plurality of categories. A user interface displays to the user the plurality of categories' and the plurality of variables, and allows the user to modify at least one variable in the plurality of variables by providing a natural language utterance.

Abstract: A bracket system for orthodontic appliances including a bracket combinatorial library having a plurality of brackets each interchangeably fixedly mountable to each of a plurality of teeth within a dentition group in a dental arch, whereby the plurality of brackets can be configured to provide incremental variation in tipping force moments, in-out force moments, and torqueing force moments over the entire useful range of orthodontic mechanics, allowing an orthodontic practitioner to prescribe a combination of tipping force moments, in-out force moments, and torqueing force moments unique for each tooth in relation to the plurality of teeth of a patient.

Abstract: A computer system and computerized method in which orthodontic treatment, including midcourse correction of one or more teeth in a dental arch fitted with a dental appliance, comprises a virtual simulation of a dental arch fitted with a virtual dental appliance in which each of the one or more teeth can be discretely moved from an initial position to a final position allowing modification of the fitted dental appliance by computerized selection of one or more brackets and production of a bonding tray adapted to hold the selected brackets in correspondence to determined bracket bonding locations in the virtual simulation of dental arch.

Abstract: An indication of a first natural language utterance identifying a user request is received. A natural language query is generated based on the first natural language utterance. The natural language query comprises (i) a plurality of categories, and (ii) a plurality of variables. An indication of a second natural language utterance identifying a modification to the user request is received. Whether to modify the natural language query or to generate a new natural language query based on the second natural language utterance is determine. Responsive to determining that the natural language query is to be modified based on the second natural language utterance, at least one of the plurality of variables or the plurality of categories of the natural language query is modified to correspond to the second natural language utterance. A response to the user request is provided based on the modified natural language query.

Abstract: An oral appliance including an upper body having an upper body channel to receive a maxillary dentition of an upper dental arch, a lower body having a lower body channel to receive a mandibular dentition, and at least one node disposed on the lower body base outer surface to engage the upper body outer surface upon receipt of the maxillary teeth of the upper dental arch in the upper body channel and the mandibular teeth of the lower dental arch in the lower body channel.

Abstract: An orthodontic bracket extension system for orthodontic braces, the orthodontic bracket extension system including a plurality of bracket base extensions each having an aperture in which a corresponding one of a plurality of bracket base can be disposed to increase a bracket bonding surface area for greater securement of each of the plurality of brackets to each of a corresponding plurality of teeth.
