METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TREATING MALOCCLUSIONS AND TEETH ALIGNMENT

摘要

A method and apparatus for moving malpositioned teeth to orthodontically correct positions and simultaneously positioning the lower dental arch of a patient relative to the upper dental arches that includes providing braces for securing to the upper and lower arches and providing a four section spring loaded telescopic rod for fastening a first end directly or indirectly at or near a lower molar and a second end directly or indirectly at or near an upper molar. The telescopic rod may resiliently urge extensively toward its elongated fully extended position to assist in dento-aveolar movement of the teeth for correcting the bite. The method and apparatus may also include providing a spring member for resiliently urging the telescoping rod extensively toward its elongated fully extended position to assist in dento-aveolar movement of the teeth for correcting the bite.
