Abstract:
An improved dental apparatus that can treat Class II or Class III malocclusions without the need for braces, that can be repaired outside of the patient's mouth, that can be temporarily removed by the patient, that can be fitted, calibrated, set up and adjusted outside the patient's mouth prior to installation, and that is inexpensive. It utilizes universal torsion springs with accurate bending forces assembled with linear members of varying lengths to make a curved intrusive vector force device connecting teeth aligners that apply gentle constant forces to correct underbite and overbite conditions.

Claim (Index 1):
A removeable, orthodontic vector force application apparatus for the treatment of Class II and Class III malocclusions only, comprising:\n a first anchor sheath custom formed for frictional engagement over at least a portion of a first dental arch; a second anchor sheath custom formed for frictional engagement over at least a portion of a second dental arch, a pair of vector force application means with a calibrated, preset amount of return force pressure when bent to 90 degrees, said vector force application means having a proximal end and a distal end; a pair of guide wires connected to said first anchor sheath and each extending along a side of said first anchor sheath, wherein each said proximal end of said each vector force application means is slidingly affixed to one of said guide wires, and said distal end of said vector force application means is rigidly affixed to said second anchor sheath.
