Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
Teeth01:15

Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...
Muscles of the Anterior Neck01:26

Muscles of the Anterior Neck

The anterior neck muscles are the group of muscles covering the front part of the neck. These muscles are classified into three subgroups. The first one is the superficial muscles, the most visible muscles in the front of the neck. It includes the platysma and sternocleidomastoid. The second group is the suprahyoid muscles, located above the hyoid bone. This group comprises the digastric, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, and stylohyoid. Lastly, the infrahyoid muscles are found below the hyoid bone and...

Summary

The Inman Aligner uses unique Nickel-Titanium springs for gentle, consistent force to correct anterior teeth crowding and spacing. This innovative retainer offers an effective alternative to traditional methods for anterior dental alignment.

Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Traditional spring retainers have limitations in applying consistent forces.
  • The need for efficient anterior dental alignment solutions is ongoing.

Observation:

  • The Inman Aligner utilizes super-elastic Nickel-Titanium open coil springs.
  • This appliance applies light but consistent forces to anterior teeth.

Findings:

  • The Inman Aligner effectively corrects anterior crowding and rotations.
  • It addresses certain types of anterior spacing issues.
  • The appliance represents an evolution from traditional spring retainers.

Implications:

  • Offers a novel approach to anterior teeth correction.
