Latest Patent Applications
One of Werner Ochs's significant patent applications is titled "Method for Producing an Orthodontic Element." This invention relates to a method for producing an orthodontic element with a ceramic main body, which features a base surface for fixing the element to a tooth. The method aims to ensure that the main body can be fastened to the tooth with a high adhesive force while also allowing for easy detachment at the end of orthodontic treatment. The invention proposes guiding a laser beam along the base surface in an impingement area, where the base surface is superficially heated locally by the laser beam, leading to the development of cracks that break free microscopic particles from the base surface.
