Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus's for improving orthodontic treatments. In an embodiment, an orthodontic tracking template is provided for assisting in determining whether a patient's teeth are in an appropriate tooth arrangement for transitioning between a wire and bracket orthodontic treatment to a patient-removable orthodontic appliance treatment. The tracking template may include a shell portion defining a plurality of tooth-receiving cavities arranged to fit over at least a portion of the patient's teeth in an intermediate tooth arrangement without applying a tooth-moving force to the teeth or to any brackets attached to the teeth.

Claim (Index 31):
A system for tracking orthodontic treatment in a patient comprising:\n an orthodontic assembly adapted to move a plurality of teeth from an initial tooth arrangement to a planned intermediate tooth arrangement, the orthodontic assembly comprising two or more affixed appliances attached to at least some of the plurality of teeth; an orthodontic tracking template comprising a shell portion defining a plurality of tooth-receiving cavities shaped to fit over at least a portion of the plurality of teeth in the planned intermediate tooth arrangement and to accommodate the orthodontic assembly without applying a tooth-moving force to the plurality of teeth or the orthodontic assembly, a first wall of at least one of the plurality of tooth receiving cavities of the tracking template extending from a cusp of the tooth receiving cavity and ends at a surface of the at least one affixed appliance closest to the cusp of the tooth; and at least one patient-removable orthodontic tooth positioning appliance having a shell portion defining a plurality of tooth-receiving cavities shaped to receive and apply a resilient positioning force to at least one of the plurality of teeth, the at least one patient-removable orthodontic tooth positioning appliance being adapted to cause the plurality of teeth to move from the planned intermediate tooth arrangement to a planned final tooth arrangement.
