ORGANIZING, STORING, AND TRACKING DENTAL DEVICES

摘要

Systems, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed for manufacturing, organizing, storing, and tracking dental devices such as removable dental aligners. In some variations, these systems, methods, and apparatuses may enable a patient or doctor to select the proper dental device from a series of dental devices to be worn in an intended sequence even where the dental devices are unmarked with respect to their position in the sequence. For example, the dental devices may be arranged in a manner that leads the patient or doctor to intuitively select and use the dental aligners in the appropriate sequence. This can be accomplished, for example, by presenting the dental devices in the sequence in which they are to be worn or presenting them in a manner that encourages or requires accessing them in that sequence.
