Abstract: A processor containing software allowing for measuring the speed of a motor, and adjusting that speed by pulse width modulation is provided. A dedicated voltage limiter prevents excess speed, and a battery charge management controller to charge the battery and monitor the battery charge status, ensures battery voltage is regulated to 3.3 V. These additional features contribute to safety, such that when included on an orthodontic remodeling device they allow safe and effective vibration, with minimal changes in frequency and force and no danger of excess speed or power.

Abstract: A low cost disposable peel-and-stick vibrating orthodontic strip can be attached to existing orthodontic devices such as aligners, thus speeding dental remodeling by as much as 50%. A low cost orthodontic appliance generally in the form of a peel-and-stick vibrating strip that can be advantageously applied to existing orthodontic devices, such as aligners, positioners, fixed appliances, or even applied directly to teeth.

Abstract: An IR laser bite plate for orthodontic remodeling is disclosed, and the device can be combined with vibrational forces.

Abstract: A tooth positioner is combined with a vibrational source, thus speeding orthodontic remodeling. In more detail, the device includes a tooth positioner shaped to closely fit a patient's dentition and apply a straightening force to at least one of said patient's teeth, the tooth positioner contacting labial, lingual and occlusal surfaces of said patient's dentition, the tooth positioner operably connected to a housing enclosing a power source operably connected to a vibratory source, the vibratory source being able to vibrate, thus vibrating the tooth positioner. Methods of using the positioner-vibrator combination are also disclosed.

Abstract: Diagnostic mouthpieces and separate pads for same allow dental devices of various types to have a dual purpose. The diagnostic mouthpieces allow frequent use and early intervention.

Abstract: A bite plate allowing for contact with occlusal and facial and/or lingual maxillary and mandibular teeth is coupled to an extraoral housing containing a rechargeable battery coupled to a vibrator coupled to a processor coupled to data and charging port or ports. The housing is at least water resistant, and a hatch allows access to the data and charging port or ports only. The device is fitted with a very smooth and quiet vibrator, with minimal variance on operating specifications.

Abstract: An improved vibrating orthodontic device is provided wherein motor speed is controlled by capacitive sensor, and thus lacks moving parts that are required by encoder use. The improved device also uses a tungsten offset weight, reducing size by more than 50%, yet still produces the needed force. The device is thus smaller, lighter and more robust.

Abstract: An orthodontic remodeling device, wherein the bite plate is modified to have textured teeth and gum facing surfaces so as to provide cleaning, massaging or acupressure effect when in use.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to bite plates for use with various orthodontic remodeling devices. A bite plate that releases fluoride during use, thus encouraging remineralization on enamel is described. Additionally, bite plates with a colorant or color-changing matrix that serve as indicators for fluoride concentration are also described.

Abstract: Orthodontic remodeling devices having an extraoral housing containing a power source operably coupled to an actuator operably coupled to a processor that controls said actuator; the extraoral housing operably connected to an intraoral U-shaped bite plate; the bite plate having upper and lower vertical edges on a facial edge thereof and upper and lower vertical edges on a lingual edge thereof. During usage the orthodontic remodeling device is held in place only by teeth clamping on the bite plate and vibrates at a selected frequency between 0.1 and 400 Hz. Methods of using same for faster orthodontic remodeling and pain reduction are also provided.

Abstract: A faster method of orthodontic remodeling for a patient wearing a vibrating orthodontic remodeling device for about 20 minutes a day to accelerated tooth movement is described. The vibrating orthodontic remodeling device has an extraoral housing containing a power source operably coupled to an actuator that is operably coupled to a processor that controls the actuator, and is connected to an intraoral U-shaped bite plate. The device is held in place during use by the teeth clamping on the bite plate.

Abstract: An electro-orthodontic appliance is provided that helps accelerate orthodontic tooth movement through the application of a controlled electrical current to gum and teeth, thus stimulating osteogenesis.
