Title Digital orthodontic appliance coupling matrix
Abstract A digital orthodontic treatment planning system provides a practitioner with digital representations
of at least a part of a tooth of a patient and at least part of a coupling matrix within a three-
dimensional environment. By interacting with the system, orthodontic practitioners are able to
visualize a coupling matrix that results from a specific orthodontic appliance position relative to
a tooth of the patient’s dental arch. The digital representation of the coupling matrix represents
a substance, such as a cured adhesive, that connects an orthodontic appliance to a tooth of
a patient. The system determines a thickness of at least a portion of the coupling matrix. In
one embodiment, the system indicates the total thickness via a thickness map, such as a color-
coded thickness map. In another embodiment, the system indicates a deviation from a baseline
thickness via a thickness map.

Title Narrow ceramic self-ligating orthodontic bracket
Abstract A ceramic orthodontic bracket has a centrally located clip for retaining an archwire in an archwire
slot. The body of the bracket includes a mesial section, a distal section, and a bridge section,
wherein the bridge section extends through, and retains, the clip. The bridge section also includes
a recess adjacent to the bridge section that facilitates debonding of the bracket from a patient’s
tooth. Preferably there are gaps on one or both sides of the clip to allow space for debonding
of the bracket by applying a mesial-distal compressive force on the bracket and fracturing the
bracket along the recess. This configuration allows the overall mesial-distal width of the bracket
to be reduced, thereby facilitating the bonding of brackets to narrow and/or maloccluded teeth.
Another embodiment includes a stop member that is connected to the base of the bracket and
retains the clip on the bridge section.

Title Grounding electrode
Abstract Provided is an electrode having an insulating backing, a conductive path extending from a first
major surface to a second major surface of the insulating backing, and an adhesive on at least one
surface of the backing, wherein the electrode is attached to a grounding wire that is in electrical
contact with the conductive path of the electrode.

Title Articles and methods including patterned substrates formed from densified, adhered metal
powders
Abstract In general the disclosure relates to manufacturing methods for producing conductive patterns on
flexible substrates. For example, a layer of a metal powder composition is deposited onto an
adhesive overlaying a substrate. Pressure is applied to the metal powder composition on the
adhesive coated substrate web by a die having one or more projections, in order to reproduce a
pattern on the substrate. The metal powder is compressed by the projections of the die, thereby
densifying the powder and causing it to adhere to the adhesive in a reproduction of the die pattern.
The metal powder does not adhere substantially in uncompressed regions, and may be removed.
In this manner, a metal powder composition may be densified and adhered to a substrate forming
a web of flexible circuit elements, for example, circuit elements such as antennas, resistors,
capacitors, inductive coils, conduction pads and the like.
