A cutting system includes a material removal tool having a fluid nozzle with an adjustable diameter, a workpiece including a target shape for removal, and a controller operable to adjust the diameter of the nozzle to vary fluid flow and control an amount of material removed by the material removal tool. The controller is adapted to adjust the nozzle to vary the fluid flow based on a position of the nozzle and workpiece data preoperatively obtained from the workpiece via a continuous feedback loop. A method of cutting a bone is also provided.

A method of increasing movement of a tooth in a jaw having at least one tooth with an orthodontic brace thereon includes: (1) holding a handle of a device, the device having an elongate member extending from the handle and a screw tip at a distal end of the elongate member; (2) moving a sleeve along the elongate member to set a length of exposed screw tip; (3) locking the sleeve in place relative to the screw tip; (4) drilling a hole with the screw tip through a cortical bone of a jaw to increase movement of the tooth; and (5) stopping the drilling when the length of exposed screw tip has penetrated the jaw.

Methods, systems and devices for applying energy to tissue, and more particularly relates to a system for ablating or modifying structures in a body with systems and methods that generate a flow of vapor at a controlled flow rate for applying energy to the body structure.
