  • Publication number: 20200345455
    Abstract: Orthodontic appliances and methods of manufacturing are disclosed. Manufacturing an appliance can include obtaining position data corresponding to an original tooth arrangement (OTA) of a patient's teeth, obtaining data corresponding to a desired final tooth arrangement (FTA) of the patient's teeth, and determining displacements between the OTA data and the FTA data. Based on the determined displacements, a configuration of an orthodontic appliance is determined. The appliance includes an anchor configured to be positioned adjacent the patient's teeth, and a plurality of arms each extending away from and coupled to the anchor, the arms configured to be secured to the patient's teeth. When the appliance is installed, the arms urge individual teeth from the OTA toward the FTA.
