Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to a method for manufacturing transparent braces. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing transparent braces in such a way that a plurality of dental molds are manufactured based on orthodontic dental data that is created on the basis of current dental data of a patient and instructions of a dentist and includes a plurality of orthodontic process steps, and then transparent substances are vacuum-pressed onto the respective dental molds.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a monitoring technique for an Advanced-Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systeni (A-SMGCS) in real time. In the system for monitoring the A-SMGCS, which comprises the A-SMGCS and a high-level device for monitoring the A-SMGCS, an A-SMGCS server includes a monitoring module and a plurality of information transmit modules, each of which has its own status information and action information, and the monitoring module receives status information and action information sent from the plurality of information transmit modules and transmits them to the high-level device in real time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a clear aligner, a manufacturing method thereof, a traction device for a clear aligner, and an auxiliary tool for a traction device for a clear aligner. More particularly, the present invention relates to a clear aligner (10), a manufacturing method thereof, a traction device for a clear aligner, and an auxiliary tool (40) for a traction device for a clear aligner, wherein the clear aligner can improve orthodontic effects by increasing a correction force by traction of a clear aligner using an elastic band when it is impossible to correct teeth only with the clear aligner due to uneven teeth.

Abstract: The present invention provides a light-curing unit, comprising an LED having two or more light-emitting chips for emitting light in different respective wavelength ranges among wavelength ranges for curing photopolymers so that the LED emits light in a wavelength range of 400 nm to 500 nm; a power source for supplying electric power to the LED; and a housing formed to take the shape of a rod that can be introduced into the mouth of a person so as to limit the position and light-emitting direction of the LED. With the use of the LED and the light-curing unit using the same according to the present invention, there are advantages in that it is possible to cure (light cure) all photopolymers that are light curable at different wavelengths, expenses for purchase and management of equipment can be reduced, and convenience can be ensured since the LED and the light-curing unit can be used in common regardless of the kinds of photopolymers.

Abstract: In an apparatus for precisely locating an orthodontic bracket at a predetermined position on a surface of a tooth, orthodontic brackets for holding orthodontic wires can be easily and precisely located at and adhered to a predetermined position on a surface of a tooth, not only at an initial time but also even when the used orthodontic brackets are separated from the surface of the tooth in the course of the orthodontic treatment. The apparatus has a suspension body, a ring, and a molding spacer. The suspension body is disposed extending in parallel with the tooth from an apex toward a dental root of the tooth with a predetermined gap. The ring is inserted in the groove and hooked around the hook after the holding member has been fittedly inserted in the fitting recess, to thereby tightly assemble the suspension body and the orthodontic bracket together. The molding spacer is disposed between the suspension body and the tooth.
