SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VARYING ELASTIC MODULUS APPLIANCES

The present invention provides improved devices, systems and methods for repositioning teeth from an initial tooth arrangement to a final tooth arrangement. Repositioning is accomplished with a system comprising a series of polymeric shell appliances configured to receive the teeth and incrementally reposition individual teeth in a series of successive steps. The individual appliances may be formed from layers having different stiffnesses (elastic moduluses), and the stiffnesses of successive appliances may be different, or both.

Multilayer polymer sheets

Multilayer polymer sheets are provided, as well as related methods, systems, and appliances.

Insulated Engineered Structural Member
20230279659 · 2023-09-07 ·

An engineered structural member for use as, for example a stud, and a method for producing an engineered structural member. The method includes placing two spaced-apart flange members, preferably from nominal dimension solid lumber, in a mold cavity, inserting a two-part mixture of polyurethane material between the flange members, closing the mold and applying pressure to density the two-part polyurethane material during curing, and removing the completed engineered structural member from the mold. Preferably, the multiple engineered structural members are produced in multiple mold cavities, either sequentially, for example, on a rotary molding machine, or simultaneously, for example, in a series of molds which are filled and closed together. The engineered structural member provides increased insulation capacity to a structure while reducing structure weight, improving strength and improving dimensional instability.

The method includes generating a design of the cushion material comprising a variable mechanical stiffness across a surface of the cushion material. The method further includes producing the cushion material via additive manufacturing based on the design. Generating the design includes generating a layout design of a plurality of tube-like shaped gyroid lattice structures of the cushion material aligned with the surface of the cushion material.

Methods for making dental aligners from multilayer sheets

A multilayer sheet comprising first, second, and third layers is provided. The first layer consists of a co-polyester having an elongation at break of greater than 70%. The second layer consists of a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer having an elongation at break of greater than 200% and a hardness of about 60 A to about 85 D. The first layer has a hardness greater than the hardness of the second layer. A mold is provided and the multilayer sheet is thermoformed over the mold to form a plurality of tooth-receiving cavities configured to receive and position a patient's teeth from a first arrangement toward a second arrangement. Excess material is trimmed from the thermoformed multilayer sheet to form the multilayer dental aligner.
