Method of reducing weight by means of intra-oral devices Invention relates to medicine and can be used in case if it is necessary to reduce excessive weight in patients. For this purpose, passive fixation of upper and lower jaws to each other, completely excluding possibility of chewing food, is performed by means of intraoral devices. Passive fixation of jaws is provided due to levelling and connection of intra-oral devices with respect to each other without taking into account direction of growth and shape of teeth. For the period from 1 to 3 weeks feeding is performed only with liquid food. After 1-3 weeks fixation of jaws is removed and feeding with individually selected diet in combination with individually selected physical exercise is realised. Procedure of fixation is repeated until result is obtained. Method ensures effective and comfortable reduction f body weight in patients with obesity due to reduction of nutrition caloric intake by application of jaws fixation, completely preventing possibility of chewing solid food, without producing any effect on teeth, eliminating necessity of "correct" orthodontic fixation of applied devices, as well as due to application of additional complex of procedures. |

Fixed apparatus for treating dysfunctions of temporomandibular joint Fixed apparatus for treating dysfunctions of a temporomandibular joint comprising a limiting plate and fastener elements. The limiting plate has rounded edges and a long hole inside with configured to enclose the fastener elements to move along the above hole of the plate. The fastener elements are T-shaped and integrated with unit-cast rings to be mounted on the 6th and 7th carrier molars of the upper and lower jaws. The T-shaped fastener elements are mounted from the side of a cheek in a mid-portion of the unit-cast rings. The T-shaped fastener element is arranged on the rings of the upper jaw horizontally and on the rings of the lower jaw at an acute angle to grinding surface of the lower teeth. |

Removable individual replaceable myogymnastic element (RIRME) representing an individually curved orthodontic wire having a many-sided bead is fixed for 2 hours a day and for a period of logopaedic treatment into closed canals of the palatal plate of the removable appliance. A patient moves his/her tongue: touches the bead and displaces it in different directions along the wire trajectory. As the range of motions increases, the RIRME is changed by a new one with the complex trajectory and a smaller bead. The lessons are continued until the tongue functions are recovered completely. |

Method of retaining result of orthodontic treatment of deep overbite Invention relates to field of medicine, namely to orthodontic dentistry, and is intended for retaining stable result after performed orthodontic treatment. Non-detachable retainers are fixed on upper and lower dentitions after passive fitting. Non-detachable bite sites from composite material, imitating expressed incisive papillae are made on palate surface of incisors 1.1 and 2.1. Retainer on lower dentition is fixed on the segment from 4.4 to 3.4 teeth. Length of retainer on upper dentition depends on initial anomaly of teeth position and method of treatment. In case of initial vestibular position of canines and treatment of deep overbite without extraction of teeth 1.4 and 2.4 retainer is fixed from 1.3 to 2.3 teeth. In case of extraction of teeth 1.4 and 2.4 retainer is continued to 1.5 and 2.5 teeth. In case of absence of vestibular position of canines and treatment of deep overbite without extraction of 1.4 and 2.4 teeth retainer is installed from 1.2 to 2.2 teeth. |

Led bracket for orthodontic treatment Invention relates to medical equipment and can be used in dentistry, in particular in orthodontics. Bracket contains case, in whose slots ligature wire is placed. In bracket case placed are light-emitting elements, operating in range of ultraviolet, blue, green, red or infrared irradiation. Irradiation parameters are controlled by microcontroller, which is made in form of microchip. |

Method of early diagnostics and correction of temporomandibular joint dysfunctions Invention relates to medicine, namely to dentistry and is intended for correction of detected by early diagnostics temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunctions. Anthropometry of face is carried out in order to determine displacement of lower jaw and measure the height of lower third part of face. Displacement of lower jaw is determined in sagittal, transversal and distal directions. In order to determine distal displacement of lower jaw Eshler-Bittner test is applied. To determine lateral displacements occlusography is carried out in habitual occlusion, results are obtained by computer program T-Scan. Orthopantomography is performed and value of joint spaces is determined. If secondary displacements of lower law in sagittal and/or transversal and/or distal directions are determined, joint spaces of various value on orthopantomogram and change of height of lower third part of face are present, dysfunction of TMJ is diagnosed. Lower jaw is installed in neutral state in central occlusion, mouthguard with bite sites for fixation of lower jaw in said position is made. Occlusography is repeated in central occlusion together with mouthguard, difference of initial and blocking contacts is determined and in case if contact is advanced, selective lapping is carried out. Conclusion about elimination of dysfunction is made on the basis of patient's subjective sensations, anthropometric data and holding of lower jaw in position without displacement in sagittal and transversal planes. Final correction of mouthguard is performed in central occlusion under control of OPTG with central position of TMJ head in glenoid fossa, after which mouthguard from silicon is replaced with plastic. Myotherapy is administered and orthodontic treatment and/or dental prosthetics is performed after adaptation in accordance with indications. |

Kappa applied for detection of parodentium and jaw bone tissute state is made of non-radiopaque flexible plastics and contain measuring element inside. Kappa is monolithic two-leaf isolated between dentures within first antagonistic molars, filled with plastics along isolation lengthwise. Measuring element is designed as graduated orthodontic wire and installed within kappa body in first antagonistic molars area. Within anterior teeth group inside of kappa body there is a cavity for attachment or strip rigidly mounted to orthopantomograph. Invention enables to provide accurate detection of bone tissues within first and subsequent X-ray examination (orthopantomogram, panoramic radiograph) with equally fixed position of jaws, increased efficiency of oral therapy. |

Device has mandibular base plate having occlusion lining on lateral teeth. Supporting holding klammers are fixed in distal ends of the base plate. The occlusion lining members are fitted on the lower canine teeth. Recesses are produced on chewing surface of the occlusion lining members shaped as deep maxillary teeth imprints in constructive occlusion. |

Multifunctional two-jaw orthodontic apparatus prosthesis for treating mesial occlusion cases Device has base, fixing members and bearing members. Fixing and bearing members are fixed on the base. The base has two removable plates top one and bottom one. Artificial chewing teeth are mounted on plates for substituting the failing teeth. The top base plate is provided with occlusion inlays in the 6/6 region, round clammers on the sixth teeth with hooks for flexible tie members, protractors and to two lip pelots which are soldered into the base near the chewing teeth. The protractors are manufactured to enable transformation after anterior cutters promotion in arm-like Calvelis springs for removing diastema. The bottom base plate has two clammers on the sixth teeth and vestibular arch having M-shaped hooks to make engagement with flexible tie-members near temporary canine teeth. |
