Treatment plan specific bite adjustment structures

A system, comprising:

• a first appliance of a series of appliances to incrementally implement a treatment plan for a patient having a first jaw and a second jaw, comprising a first shell having a plurality of cavities therein to receive teeth of the first jaw in a first stage of the treatment plan;
• a first bite adjustment structure formed of a same material as the first shell, extending from a first cavity of the first shell and having a first location relative to the first cavity and a first shape specific to the first stage of the treatment plan to interface with a first tooth of the second jaw to provide a disocclusion between the first jaw and the second jaw;
• and
• a second appliance of the series of appliances, comprising a second shell having a plurality of cavities therein to receive teeth of the first jaw in a second stage of the treatment plan;
• a second bite adjustment structure formed of a same material as the second shell, extending from a second cavity of the second shell and having a second shape different than the first shape and a second location, relative to the second cavity of the second appliance, different than the first location, relative to the first cavity of the first appliance, said second shape and said second location specific to the second stage of the treatment plan and designed to interface with a second tooth of the second jaw, different than the first tooth of the second jaw to provide a disocclusion between the first jaw and the second jaw,
• wherein the first bite adjustment structure extends through the occlusal plane, defining a space along the occlusal plane between the first bite adjustment structure and a part of the first appliance defining the first cavity, said first bite adjustment structure extending a distance sufficient to contact the first tooth of the second jaw, thereby providing disocclusion between the first jaw and the second jaw.
