How to publish a new orthodontic technique/device?
I am not an orthodontist but a physicist. But while discussing a certain orthodontic technique with an experienced board-certified orthodontist (who graduated and practice in the US), it became apparent to me that the technique he was taught (and uses) is quite over-optimistic in its ignorance of the effects of elementary physical principles, which is why it almost always results in a much-less-than-ideal outcome, and it also greatly disturbs and compromises the other satisfactory elements of the bite.
After thinking about the situation, I came up with a quite simple alternative technique to fully control the desired movement, without disturbing the satisfactory areas of the bite.
It might be implemented with existing orthodontic devices which I am familiar with; however it may be enhanced and slightly simplified with a new auxiliary device that I have (conceptually) invented.
Not being a physician, how do I publish this technique under my name?
How can I patent this auxiliary device, when I did not actually built it, but only drew a sketch?
Not that I try to become a millionaire, I just want to prevent others from taking over this idea and charging orthodontists/patients for using it.
