Abstract
The invention contemplates a body-mounted fixture for supporting a source of magnetic flux in position as appropriate to coact with intra-oral magnet structure, to non-invasively achieve orthodontic and/or periodontic therapy. In coaction with an intra-oral magnet, the extra-orally mounted source of magnetic flux establishes an orthodontic-force environment (with a range of resultant-force magnitudes and directions), and/or a therapeutically beneficial environment for a selected region of tooth and alveolar bone requiring osteogenesis and soft-tissue repair.
