Orthodontic methods and devices |
摘要 |
The present invention provides methods for moving a tooth to a desired position within a patient's mouth using orthodontics including perforating tissue in the oral cavity sufficient to induce an inflammatory response. The perforations may be made in any area of the maxilla or mandible, and any number of perforations may be made that are preferably 0.5 to 1.5 mm diameter, and preferably 1 to 3 mm deep. The invention also provides a device that may be used in conjunction with slow-speed rotary instruments or with manual drivers for providing the perforations. The device has a drill that makes the perforations and a stop that prevents the drill from penetrating the jaw bone beyond a predetermined depth. The invention also provides a kit that supplies the professional with the necessary components in a sealed container to carry out the osteoperforations. The kit may include hand held and rotatory perforating devices, anesthetic, and a soft tissue punch. |

1. A method of moving a tooth to a desired position within a patient's mouth comprising:
a) perforating or pricking tissue in the oral cavity adjacent the tooth to be moved sufficient to induce an inflammatory response in the tissue wherein the perforating or pricking is performed 1 to 5 mm from the alveolar crest to produce perforations, wherein none of the perforations penetrate medullary bone, wherein all of the perforations extend through gingival tissue into cortical bone, and wherein expression of one or more inflammatory markers is increased in the tissue by at least 50% as compared to the expression of the one or more inflammatory markers prior to any perforations; and b) installing an orthodontic appliance in the patient's mouth to exert force on the tooth in the direction of the desired position. |
