Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus's for improving orthodontic treatments. In an embodiment, an orthodontic system including a tactile object is provided for modulating an engagement between a tooth attachment and an orthodontic appliance.

Abstract: The invention relates for producing permanent dentures without using any implants (screws) on the gum or using glue but using the vacuum of suction cells (suckers), between the natural gum and dentures, but using flexible thin plastic (approved by FDA) sheath between the gum and the dentures using suckers (similar to octopus) made on upper and lower surfaces of the sheath the upper sheath surface will have the same shape of the normal denture lower surface, similarly the lower sheath surface will have the same shape of the gum, the shape of the plastic sheath will always have the same shape of the gypsum modeled cast at the dentist clinic, for the gum surface, all the suckers will be (squeezed) pressed and create vacuum to hold the dentures to the gum and the dentures.

Abstract: A prosthetic device that securely joins with a tissue through the utilization of at least one pressure differential portion, such as suction cups. The pressure differential portion serves to form a vacuum between the device and the tissue for secure attachments. The device comprises a silicone shape and conforms to tissue, such as the gums. An upper portion and a lower portion join with an upper gum and a lower gum, respectively. A mounting surface includes at least one pressure differential portion for fastening to the tissue. An engagement surface is operable to perform functions for the device, including engaging an object, such as food. The upper and lower portion comprise side surfaces with adhesives for additional stability and fastening capacity along a longitudinal axis of the tissue. The device includes an antibacterial composition to inhibit odors. The engagement surface may include an ornamental portion, such as gold.

Abstract: A denture plate having hemispherical suction holes that correspond to the soft tissue areas on the roof of the mouth for increasing adhesion between the denture plate and the roof of the mouth. The increase in adhesion allows for removal of the front portion of a U-shaped channel that is typically used to create adhesion between the denture plate and the upper portion of the mouth. The increase in retention allows for the fabrication of a roofless or frontless upper denture with adequate retention for patient comfort and increased esthetics.

Abstract: An improved orthodontic positioner provides a series of tiny suction devices on the tooth confronting walls of the positioner. These suction devices provide increased adherence of the positioner to the top, inner and outer tooth surfaces of the patient's teeth, and act to mechanically hold the teeth firmly together in their desired place within the positioner.
