A simple typodont was developed to show tooth movements using removable appliances. This tool aids in visualizing orthodontic treatment with clear aligners and other devices.

Area of Science:

Dental technology
Orthodontics
Biomechanical engineering

Background:

Removable appliances are crucial in orthodontic treatment for various tooth movements.
Visualizing complex tooth mechanics can be challenging with traditional methods.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel, simple typodont design.
To demonstrate its utility in illustrating tooth movements facilitated by removable appliances.

Main Methods:

The study describes the construction and application of a basic typodont model.
This model is specifically designed for use with removable orthodontic appliances.

Main Results:

The typodont effectively demonstrates various tooth movements.
