Combination of orthodontic movement and airway dilatation treatment

摘要

Disclosed are systems, devices, and methods for performing airway remodeling simultaneously with dental and / or orthodontic treatment. The system may have a series of two or more intraoral appliances configured to gradually reposition the upper and lower teeth in two or more successive steps. Each series of intraoral appliances may have one or more maxillary blocks, one or more mandibular blocks, maxillary oral trays, and mandibular oral trays. One or more maxillary blocks may be attached to the maxillary intraoral tray or may be integrally formed. One or more mandibular blocks may be attached to the mandibular intraoral tray or may be integrally formed. The maxillary intraoral tray and the mandibular intraoral tray may be configured to move one or more teeth from a first position of the teeth to a second position of the teeth. The upper jaw block and the lower jaw block can be configured to interact with each other to treat sleep disordered breathing.
