Definitions
- This invention relates to a package especially adapted for use with a dental appliance that is precoated with adhesive for direct bonding to tooth structure.
- orthodontic brackets typically have a base surface that is "buttered” or coated with an adhesive for bonding to a labial or lingual surface of the tooth. Such brackets are used in orthodontic treatment to serve as a handle for the tooth so that the tooth can be moved to a desired position.
- U.S. Patent Nos. 4,978,007, 5,015, 180, 5, 172,809 and 5,348, 154 all of which are assigned to the assignee of the present invention.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,015, 180 describes in one embodiment an orthodontic bracket and a light curable paste sandwiched between a base of the bracket and a flexible, releasably adhering cover sheet. To bond the bracket to a tooth, the cover sheet is removed from the paste and the bracket base is then applied to the tooth.
- U.S. Patent Nos. 4 ,978,007 , 5, 172 ,809 and 5,348, 154 describe in one embodiment a container or substrate having a recess, an orthodontic bracket having an adhesive on an exterior surface, and a cover extending over the recess.
- a container or substrate having a recess
- an orthodontic bracket having an adhesive on an exterior surface
- a cover extending over the recess.
- the bracket is retained in the recess in an orientation that facilitates grasping of the bracket for direct placement onto the tooth surface.
- Orthodontic brackets are available in a wide variety of configurations or prescriptions.
- the base of the bracket may have a particular configuration that matches the contour and size of a particular tooth.
- the number and shape of the tiewings, the shape and size of the archwire slot, and the characteristics of other elements of the bracket may vary in accordance with the needs of the patient and the treatment technique preferred by the orthodontist.
- certain specialized brackets, such as brackets with hooks or other auxiliary attachments may be desirable in some instances.
- the orthodontist may choose to retain a wide variety of brackets on hand so that the desired brackets can be immediately selected and put into use without waiting for additional brackets to be shipped from the manufacturer.
- packages for adhesive precoated dental appliances such as orthodontic brackets are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,328,363 and 5,350,059.
- Such packages include a container having a well to receive the appliance.
- the container includes a top flange surrounding an opening over the well, and a cover extends over the opening and the flange to initially close the well.
- each appliance is individually packaged, so that certain brackets as may be needed for a particular patient can be selected, arranged in a set-up tray and carried to the patient's chair in convenient fashion.
- Individual packaging also helps insure that the appliance and the adhesive are not unduly exposed to the atmosphere before use.
- the container and the cover for the packaged dental appliance as described in U.S. Patent Nos.
- 5,328,363 and 5,350,059 are each made from a sheet of flexible material that provides a substantial barrier to the transmission of oxygen, water vapor and light having a wavelength that might otherwise cause the dental adhesive to prematurely cure.
- a pressure sensitive adhesive is provided to join the cover to the flange.
- a repositionable adhesive can be used to enable the orthodontist to reclose the package as may be desired in certain instances.
- the aluminum foil is heat sealed to the flange, and is optionally scored to facilitate tearing of the foil, such that a portion of the foil remains affixed to the top layer while remaining areas of the foil remain affixed to the flange as the cover is opened.
- the aluminum foil is replaced with a barrier layer of other materials such as polyvinylidene chloride (“PVDC”), and the barrier layer optionally is separable from the container and the cover once the cover has been lifted from the opening for access into the well.
- PVDC polyvinylidene chloride
- Fig. 1 is an exploded, perspective view of a packaged article constructed in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention
- Fig. 2 is an enlarged, exaggerated scale, side cross-sectional view of the article shown in Fig. 1 as it appears once assembled;
- Fig. 3 is a reduced, perspective view of the article shown in Fig. 2, except that a cover of the article has been opened in order to access a dental appliance located in a container well;
- Fig. 4 is a view somewhat similar to Fig. 3, except in accordance with another embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. 6 is a plan view of a packaged article in accordance with still another embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. 7 is a side cross-sectional view of the article shown in
- Fig. 6; Fig. 8 is a view somewhat similar to Fig. 7 except that a cover of the article has been opened;
- FIG. 1 1 is a view somewhat similar to Fig. 1 but illustrates another embodiment of the present invention
- silicone release agent no. 24, Dow Chemical or no. SM2121 , General Electric.
- a layer of hot melt adhesive extends along the underside surface of the aluminum foil layer.
- the hermetic seal 36 is made by pressing a heated, annular, oval-shaped face of a platen onto the paper and aluminum foil laminate along the second region 38. As the platen presses the paper and aluminum foil laminate into firm contact with the flange 26 of the container 22 within the oval- shaped opening of the pressure sensitive adhesive assembly 34, the hot melt adhesive is softened. Subsequently, the platen is moved away from the paper and aluminum foil laminate to enable the hot melt adhesive to cool and thereafter mechanically fix as well as hermetically seal the aluminum foil to the flange 26.
- the packaged article 320 that is shown in Figs. 6-9 includes a container 322 that is substantially identical to the container 22.
- a layer of aluminum foil 344 extends over the well and flange of the container 322 , and is affixed to the flange by a hot melt heat seal adhesive 351 (see the enlarged view in Fig. 9) .
- the foil layer is embossed or scored (as shown in detail in Fig. 7) to provide two lines of weakness 346 , 348 that are illustrated in Fig. 9.
- the line of weakness 348 is generally U-shaped and extends about a front portion and two side portions of the opening of the well.
