FIG3 depicts a perspective view of the outer surface of the top panel 210B of the case 200 when the case 200 is in the closed position, according to an embodiment. The top concave portion 230B formed in the inner surface of the top panel 210B may form a top convex portion 240B relative to the outer surface of the top panel 210B. More particularly, as the depth of the top concave portion 230B formed in the inner surface of the top panel 210B increases, the height/elevation of the top convex portion 240B of the outer surface of the top panel 210B also increases. As a result, the top convex portion 240B may have a shape that resembles the shape of the top of the dental treatment device 100. More particularly, the wall(s) defining the top convex portion 240B may include a tray-accommodating portion 242B and a handle accommodating portion 244B. The tray-accommodating portion 242B may be substantially crescent-shaped. A remainder of the outer surface of the top panel 210B may be a substantially planar portion 245B.

case cases
['1. A case (200, 500, 900) for a dental treatment device (100), comprising: a bottom panel (210A, 510A, 910A) having an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the inner surface of the bottom panel defines a first concave portion (230A), wherein a wall defining the first concave portion (230A) is sloped or curved such that the depth of the first concave portion (230A) increases gradually, and wherein the first concave portion (230A) forms a corresponding first convex portion (240A) of the outer surface of the bottom panel (210A, 510A, 910A); a top panel (210B, 910B) having an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the inner surface of the top panel defines a second concave portion (230B), wherein the second concave portion (230B) forms a corresponding second convex portion (240B) of the outer surface of the top panel (210B, 910B), wherein the second convex portion (540B) includes a curvature (546B), and wherein the second convex portion (540B) does not have any substantially planar portion; and a hinge (215) that joins the bottom panel (210A, 510A, 910A) and the top panel (210B, 910B) and allows the bottom panel (210A, 510A, 910A) and the top panel (210B, 910B) to pivot between an open position and a closed position; wherein the first concave portion (230A) and the second concave portion (230B) define an internal volume for storing the dental treatment device (100) when the bottom panel (210A, 510A, 910A) and the top panel (210B, 910B) are in the closed position, and wherein a wall defining the first convex portion (240A) includes a crescent-shaped tray accommodating portion (242A) and a handle accommodating portion (244A).']
