Orthodontic Apparatus and Method for Producing an Orthodontic Apparatus

摘要

An orthodontic apparatus (1; 10) is designed with at least one orthodontically effective element (4; 12) and at least one holding element (5; 13) for holding the apparatus (1; 10) on the jaw, whereby the apparatus (1;10) is designed in one piece. In a method for producing an orthodontic apparatus, an electronic data set is produced for a three-dimensional model (2) of a jaw to which the apparatus is supposed to be attached. Further, a virtual positioning of one or more orthodontic elements (4; 12) of the apparatus on jaw model (2) takes place. An electronic data set of a three-dimensional model (3; 11) of the apparatus is subsequently produced. The apparatus (1; 10) is then produced by an additive and/or removal production method according to the data set of the apparatus model.

主权项

1. An orthodontic apparatus with at least one orthodontically effective element and at least one holding element for holding the apparatus on the jaw, wherein the apparatus is designed in one piece in such a way that the apparatus has different regions which correspond to the orthodontically effective elements and the holding elements and merge directly into one another, whereby at least one of the orthodontically effective elements is designed to adjust the apparatus.
