An orthodontic finishing positioner for maloccluded teeth to which are
secured coupling members having portions protruding from the sides of the
teeth includes a body constructed of an elastomer base material adapted to
be operatively positioned about the teeth and coupling member of at least
one dental arch of a patient. The positioner body is arcuate in shape and
defines a recess for receiving teeth of at least one dental arch wherein
the recess includes walls defining teeth-engaging surfaces shaped
generally complementary to the surfaces of the teeth of the one dental
arch when the teeth therein are positioned in a predetermined or ideal
orientation. The recess walls further defines a series of indentations
disposed across the teeth-engaging surfaces wherein each indentation being
shaped to nestingly accept a corresponding coupling member so that when
the positioner body is operatively positioned within the patient's mouth
and stretched about the teeth of the one dental arch so that the teeth
thereof are operatively received by the recess of the arcuate-shaped
portion and each coupling member is accepted by a corresponding
indentation, the stretched body effectively grasps the teeth and acts
against the teeth and the coupling member to bias the teeth of the one
arch toward the predetermined orientation. The method of the invention
includes the steps involved in constructing the positioner of the
invention. Such construction steps include the constructing of an
impression-formed model of the teeth and coupling members of the one
dental arch, repositioning the teeth-simulating portions of the model to a
predetermined orientation and utilizing the model, with its repositioned
teeth-simulating portions, as a standard for the formation of the desired
positioner.
