METHOD OF PLACING AN ORTHODONTIC APPARATUS, TEMPLATE AND ORTHODONTIC APPARATUS
An orthodontic dentistry for use in holistic treatment of patients with anomalies of the dentoalveolar system using orthodontic micro-implant. The source data includes a computer tomogram, cast teeth models, jaw model, and size of the micro-implants to be installed. Using cast teeth models, plaster dental models are casted and scanned to obtain a 3D printed model of the patient's jaw. Then, the computer tomogram and 3D model of the patient's jaw are combined. Based on the anatomy and shape of the palatal mucosa, the entry points of the micro-implants into the mucosa is selected on a 3D model of the patient's jaw. The position of the micro-implants at these selected points is plotted, taking into account their inclination and depth of insertion. The correctness of the selected position of the micro-implants is checked using the computer tomogram. By the data obtained, a caliper is modeled for inserting micro-implants for the subsequent installation of an orthodontic apparatus.

Orthodontic appliance removal device
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an orthodontic appliance removal device that includes a shaft defining a longitudinal dimension. The shaft includes a shaft proximate end and a shaft distal end, and a lateral portion proximate to the shaft distal end extending transversely away from the shaft in a direction generally orthogonal to the longitudinal dimension. The lateral portion includes a lateral portion proximate end that is adjacent to the shaft distal end, and a lateral portion distal end configured to contact an orthodontic appliance. A handle section is also coupled to the shaft adjacent to the shaft proximate end. In another embodiment, the orthodontic appliance removal device is a multi-tool device which further comprises a seating device for seating an orthodontic appliance and/or a toothbrush.

Apparatus for removing dental appliance and dental system
An apparatus for removing a dental appliance can include a body having a perimeter and a pry lip extending from the perimeter of the body. The pry lip includes a terminal ridge surface and an inclined surface disposed between the terminal ridge surface and the perimeter of the body. The apparatus for removing a dental appliance can be incorporated in a dental system which includes a dental appliance and the apparatus for removing a dental appliance. The apparatus for removing a dental appliance can be configured such that it fits within an area defined by an outer edge of the dental appliance. Thus, the dental appliance and the apparatus for removing the dental appliance can be stored within a dental appliance container with an internal cavity that closely conforms to the shape and size of the dental appliance.
DENTAL CEMENT REMOVAL COMPOSITION
The invention is directed to a composition that safely removes a cured dental cement or resin from metal brackets, metal braces, and enamel surfaces of teeth. It contains eugenol, isoeugenol, methyl-eugenol or an isomer thereof. A method for removing orthodontic fixtures adhered with a dental cement or resin to the enamel surfaces of teeth from these surfaces by contacting the dental cement or resin with a composition containing eugenol.
