Publication number: 20220175494Abstract: Palatal expander apparatuses for expanding a patient's palate (“palatal expanders”) and methods of using and making them. These palatal expanders may be configured to have a variable surface smoothness on one side (e.g., the lingual-facing surface) compared to the opposite side (e.g., the palatal-facing surface). These palatal expanders may be configured to have a varying thickness in the palatal region. These palatal expanders may be adapted for ease in removal by the patient or caregiver (e.g., including a hinged region and/or detachment region, and/or including a thinner buccal side then occlusal side, etc.).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2022Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: Yaser SHANJANI, Jeremy RILEY, Ryan KIMURA, Jun SATO, Norman SU, Jihua CHENG, Fuming WU

Publication number: 20210259809Abstract: A dental attachment placement device comprises a plurality of articulated registration elements shaped for placement on a plurality of teeth, which can facilitate placement, accommodate tooth movement, and improve alignment of the registration elements with the teeth, so as to accurately position an attachment for placement. The plurality of registration elements may comprise one or more attachment supports and one or more retention supports extending from the plurality of registration elements. A dental attachment can be removably coupled to the attachment support. The plurality of registration elements and attachment supports may be located on opposing sides of one or more teeth in order to maintain placement prior to adhering the attachment to the tooth. In some embodiments, each of the plurality of registration elements comprises a tooth registration surface shaped to engage the tooth with a specific position and orientation for accurate positioning of the attachment.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2021Publication date: August 26, 2021Applicant: ALIGN TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Siobhan O'LEARY, Peter WEBBER, Jun SATO, Crystal TJHIA, Jessica H.
