TECHNICAL FIELD

This patent application relates to the field of dental appliance cases. More specifically, this application relates to embodiments of dental appliance cases structured to position a dental appliance.

BACKGROUND

As more emphasis is being placed on dental concerns of a patient, the dental industry has continued to develop more appropriate dental appliance. In some situations, it is desirable to develop and utilize a removable dental appliance. Such dental appliances may include dentures, removable retainers, and other dental appliances.

If a dental appliance is removable, there is a possibility that the patient may lose the dental appliance, may forget to reinsert the dental appliance, or may fail to adhere to other aspects of a dental treatment plan. Accordingly, it may be desirable to provide the patient with the methods and tools that they need in order to properly adhere to the desired aspects of a dental treatment plan and to fully comply with the dental treatment plan.

SUMMARY

In one embodiment, a medical device storage case may comprise a base. A case insert may be connected to the base. An insert hump, connected to the case insert, may be structured to position a medical device within a cavity at least partially formed by the case insert. At least a portion of a sensor may be located within the insert hump and may be configured to detect a feature of the medical device.

In another embodiment, a medical device storage case may comprise a base. A case insert may be connected to the base. A first latitudinal insert hump may be connected to the case insert. A second latitudinal insert hump may also be connected to the case insert. A first portion of a sensor may be located within the first latitudinal insert hump and a second portion of the sensor may be located within the second latitudinal insert hump. The portions of the sensor may be configured to detect a feature of a medical device positioned between the first and second latitudinal insert humps.
