A computer configured appliance (10) that applies amplified leverage for
orthodontic correction of malocclusions that incorporates a number of
computer configured prong units (20) for attachment to selected teeth.
Each prong unit (20) is connected to a detachable placement template (28)
for positioning the prong units (20) at a computer selected tooth
location. Once positioned, the prong units (20) are bonded with dental
bonding cement (40) to a predetermined site of each tooth. A successive
series of computer configured segmented compartment arches (42) are
connected by interproximal material (48), with each arch having elastic
entry compartments (38), are snapped onto each prong unit (20). When each
arch (42) has achieved the optimum tooth movement, the arch (42) is
unsnapped, removed and replaced by snapping in the next arch in the
series, which has a higher sequential increment of movement.
