Abstract:
The invention relates to a removable lingual-vestibular dental alignment device comprising an assembly of independent caps ( 12 ). The inner part of each cover ( 12 ) includes a fissure ( 14 ) for coupling to a fixing element ( 21, 24 , and  27 ) adhered to the tooth ( 20 ) and outer elements ( 13 ) facilitating the passage of the dental arch ( 16 ) having a circular, square or rectangular section. The invention also relates to a method for the production of the caps ( 12 ) that includes scanning the mold of the denture and working on a virtual mold in order to include the corrective elements. The caps ( 12, 35 ) are produced after printing the result of the denture ( 9 ) with the different elements and subsequent stamping method or from the printing of a file corresponding to a virtual cap produced on the virtual denture ( 8 ) that includes the virtual cuboids ( 4 ) and virtual half-spheres ( 5 ).

Claim (Index 1):
A method for the production of a removable dental alignment device made from a mold of the denture of the patient, characterized by comprising the following steps:\n scanning the mold of the denture and virtually representing a virtual denture ( 1 ) through a set of digital data, producing a virtual denture ( 8 ) from the virtual denture ( 1 ) wherein:\n a. a horizontal virtual plane ( 6 ) cutting the virtual denture ( 1 ) on a cutting line ( 7 ) is chosen and represented, \n b. the virtual cuboids ( 4 ) are chosen from a virtual library ( 2 ), \n c. the chosen virtual cuboids ( 4 ) are placed on the cutting line ( 7 ) and their dimensions are modified according to the movement that must be applied on each tooth and following the placement technique based on balance, torques and angulations, with the aid of the virtual view of the positioning of the virtual cuboids ( 4 ) in relation to the virtual cutting line ( 7 ), \n d. the virtual half-spheres ( 5 ) representative of virtual fixing elements having different dimensions and geometries are chosen from a virtual library ( 3 ) and modified, \n e. the virtual half-spheres ( 5 ) are placed on the virtual denture ( 1 ), \n f. a computer file with the geometric characteristics of the virtual denture ( 8 ), the cutting line ( 7 ), the assembly of virtual cuboid projections ( 10 ) having different dimensions and half-spherical projections ( 11 ) is produced, \n printing the model of the teeth or printed denture ( 9 ) of the patient with the cuboids ( 10 ) and half-spheres ( 11 ) with a 3D printer, stamping the caps ( 12 ) on the printed denture ( 9 ), which includes the shape of the teeth, the cuboid projections ( 13 ) and the notches ( 14 ), opening in the cuboid projections ( 13 ) the gap for the passage of the dental arch ( 16 ) using specific drills and a micromotor or by inserting a hot rectangular arch, adhering the fixing elements ( 21 ,  24 , and  27 ) to the corresponding teeth ( 20 ).
