PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an aligner for orthodontics, which enables free adjustment of the magnitude and direction of a force applied to teeth, by varying the thickness of the aligner for orthodontics at each spot of the teeth or a tooth row to be subjected to orthodontic therapy.SOLUTION: An aligner for orthodontics is attached to a tooth row including teeth to be subjected to orthodontic therapy, covers the teeth, assumes a shape in which the teeth are shifted in the direction of being corrected, and is integrally formed of a resin material. The aligner for orthodontics has its thickness varied depending on positions of the teeth so as to increase/decrease a corrective force for the teeth to be subjected to orthodontic therapy.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】矯正しようとする歯又は歯列のスポットごとに、歯科矯正用アライナー厚みを変化させることで、歯にかかる力の大きさ、方向を、自由に調整できる歯科矯正用アライナーを提供する。【解決手段】矯正対象となる歯を含む歯列に装着され、前記歯を覆い、前記歯を矯正すべき方向に移動した形状を有し、樹脂材料により一体的に形成されている歯科矯正用アライナーであって、前記矯正対象となる歯への矯正力を増減させるために、前記歯の位置に応じて厚さを変化させた歯科矯正用アライナーを提供する。【選択図】なし
