Systems for dental/orthodontic treatment can include a cervical collar, a brace, a mount, and an upper support. The brace can extend from an anterior section of the cervical collar to the upper support, which can be positioned to engage a forehead of a dental/orthodontic treatment patient. The mount can be engaged to and positioned on the brace, and can be configured to receive one or more elastics extending from fixation points within the mouth of the patient.

An orthodontic extraoral traction appliance includes at least one central body, one or more rest portions to be positioned on the patient's head, and one or more traction portions, which engage an intraoral brace. The appliance is provided with one or more sensors for detecting and/or measuring the force exerted by the traction portions.

This invention pertains to a therapeutic pressure applicator with a sensor and transceiver worn by a patient during daily activity to apply pressure to a specific body part during long term treatment, and used in a system with a device such as a cell phone to receive and display real-time pressure data to alert the patient and physician when the pressure is outside a desired range. The applicator includes a securement member and a pressure adjusting device with a pressure adjusting dial, pressure sensing component, pressure focusing plate and cushion. Rotating the dial retracts or extends the sensing component, focusing plate and cushion. The applicator has a computer module with a CPU, memory, transceiver, power source and a force sensor. The focusing plate aligns a pressure button into pressed engagement with the sensor to transmit real-time focused pressure data to the CPU, which converts the focused data into real-time cushion pressure data. The transceiver periodically communicates the long-term, real-time cushion pressure data to the cell phone that displays and stores the data.

The present invention relates to a method and system for applying localized vibration directly to particular teeth with the upper and lower jaws. A headgear using an inner bow comprising at least two arms that inserts into the upper first molars and an elastic-type headgear strap attaches to the back of the neck and to the outside, or outer bow also having at least two arms. The inner bow and outer bow are coupled together generally in the center (or alternatively with at least one lateral extension that is off-centered) by an external extension. The external extension may further have a protrusion, that inserts into a corresponding orifice within a vibrating orthodontic device.

A process for manufacturing customized facemasks, includes: producing respective impressions of patient's forehead and chin, to record an anatomic structure thereof, using impression materials commonly utilized in dentistry for intraoral impressions; producing respective 3D digital images of a patient's forehead and chin through a 3d-scanning of the forehead and chin impressions; 3D printing of customized forehead and chin pads; detecting patient's side profile line from a side picture of patient's face; 3D printing of a midline rod modelled according to said profile line; and assembling the forehead and chin pads and said midline rod into a facemask featuring a facial frame providing retention to elastic bands connectable to an intraoral appliance, in the forehead pad a temperature sensor is inserted while a pressure sensor is embedded into the chin pad.
