Abstract

A removable cosmetic dental structure and a method of fabricating the removable cosmetic dental structure is provided. The removable cosmetic dental structure includes a removable veneer body, having a front side and a rear side, sized to cover at least a portion of a facial surface of a tooth structure. The front side of the removable veneer body is shaped to resemble a tooth surface and the rear side of the removable veneer body covers the facial surface of the tooth structure. The removable cosmetic dental structure further includes one or more magnetic layers integrated on the rear side of the removable veneer body. The magnetic layers are configured to hold the removable veneer body to the facial surface of the tooth structure.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cosmetic dental system, consisting of:
a removable veneer body sized to cover only a facial surface of a plurality of human teeth of an upper jaw or a lower jaw, wherein the removable veneer body has a front side and a rear side wherein the rear side is directly adjacent the facial surface of the human teeth; and
wherein the removable veneer body has a first end and a second end, and a first magnetic layer is integrated on the rear side of the first end and a second magnetic layer is integrated on the rear side of the second end,
wherein the rear side of the first end of the removable veneer body faces a facial surface of a first posterior tooth at a first end of the upper jaw or the lower jaw and wherein the rear side of the second end of the removable veneer body faces a facial surface of a second posterior tooth at a second end of the upper jaw or the lower jaw;
a third magnetic layer adapted to be placed on the facial surface of the first posterior tooth at the first end of the upper jaw or the lower jaw, wherein the first magnetic layer and third magnetic layer have opposite polarity,
a fourth magnetic layer adapted to be placed on the facial surface of the second posterior tooth at the second end of the upper jaw or the lower jaw, wherein the second magnetic layer and the fourth magnetic layer have opposite polarity.

2. The cosmetic dental system of claim 1 , wherein said cosmetic dental system is comprised of a material selected from thermoplastic resin, porcelain, composite material, polyacetal polymer, or crystalline copolymer.

3. The cosmetic dental system of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the magnetic layers is at least one of a magnetic plate, a magnetic mesh, or a combination of magnetic plate and magnetic mesh.

4. The cosmetic dental system of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the front side of the veneer body is shaped to resemble a tooth surface.

5. The cosmetic dental system of claim 1 , wherein the removable veneer body is adapted to cover the facial surfaces of all of the teeth of the upper jaw.

6. The cosmetic dental system of claim 1 , wherein the removable veneer body is adapted to cover the facial surfaces of all of the teeth of the lower jaw.

7. The cosmetic dental system of claim 1 , wherein the removable veneer body is configured for an upper jaw, and the first magnetic layer integrated on the rear side of the first end and the second magnetic layer integrated on the rear side of the second end are the only magnetic layers of the removable veneer body.

8. The cosmetic dental system of claim 1 , wherein the removable veneer body is configured for an upper jaw and the rear side is directly adjacent to the facial surfaces of all of the teeth of the plurality of human teeth of the upper jaw.

9. The cosmetic dental system according to claim 1 , wherein the front side and the rear side of the removable veneer body are continuous.
