Description

orthodontic device

Technical field

The utility model relates to the field of medical instruments, in particular to a dental orthodontic device.

Background technique

In orthodontic invisible correction technology, attachments are auxiliary components often used in the process of invisible braces correction of teeth. Correct design and placement of attachments is an effective way to solve the insufficient retention force of invisible braces. Accessories can be used to increase the retention force of invisible braces. The retention force of the braces can also assist and enhance some tooth movement. The attachments are bonded to the teeth during use, and the braces are used in conjunction with the attachments after wrapping them.

The braces that currently provide correction often wrap the entire attachment, which is beneficial to enhancing the retention of the braces and is also suitable for the braces to exert force on the corresponding teeth. For example, the application number is 202020023319.7, and the name is "Bracket-less braces for assisting molar movement" The Chinese utility model patent "Slot Orthodontic Accessory Structure" provides a bracketless orthodontic accessory structure for assisting molar movement, including an accessory located on the side of the teeth and a brace that fits the teeth. The attachment corresponds to the matching slot; the attachment is a bump with at least one notch, and the notch faces the occlusal side of the teeth. The notch of the accessory is matched with the slot of the brace, and the notch of the accessory clamps the inside of the slot to fix the slot, thereby preventing dislocation of the brace and enhancing the control ability of the brace over the teeth through the attachment. Although the above structure and similar structures are more suitable for exerting force on the teeth, the close fit of the braces and attachments limits the tooth movement range to the deformation range of each brace, and at the same time only exerts intermittent force on the teeth from a biological perspective. , as the teeth move, the deformation of the braces gradually decreases, and the force exerted on the teeth also gradually weakens. Multiple braces need to be replaced regularly to make the teeth gradually move, which affects the treatment time and increases the number of braces used in the course of treatment.

The attached picture shows the principle Figures or conceptual diagrams, the relationship between the thickness and width of each part, the proportional relationship between each part, etc. are not completely consistent with their actual values.

Embodiment 1

Figures 1 and 2 show a schematic structural diagram of a dental orthodontic device according to an embodiment of the present invention, which includes a brace body 100 that can be worn on the maxillary dentition. The structure of the brace body 100 is similar to that of existing invisible braces used for tooth correction. The structures are generally similar, and both have inner contours that are suitable for adjusting the position of the teeth in the dentition, and are suitable for wearing on the maxillary dentition. This embodiment is described based on the maxillary dentition. The same principle can also be applied to the mandibular dentition, or the upper and lower jaws. Part of the tooth in the dentition.

Figure 1 shows an example of the brace body 100 being worn on the teeth 10, 20 and 30. There is a gap between the teeth 10 and the teeth 20, and the teeth 20 need to be corrected. The goal is to move the teeth 20 forward so that the teeth 20 can be moved forward. It is close to the teeth 10. The attachment 600 is fixedly pasted on the tooth 20. In this embodiment, the attachment 600 is arranged on the labial and buccal side of the tooth 20. A lateral force (a force to the left in the perspective of Figure 1) can be applied to the attachment 600, so that the tooth 20 Move closer to the tooth 10.

The brace body 100 is provided with a strip-shaped through hole 110 that extends transversely in length. The width of the through hole 110 is suitable for accommodating the accessory 600 . Preferably, the vertical dimension of the accessory 600 is no larger than the width of the through hole 110 . The position of the through hole 110 corresponds to the tooth 20. Specifically, when the brace body 100 is worn, the accessory 600 enters the through hole 110, and the right side 111 of the through hole 110 abuts the accessory 600, or the accessory 600. The right side abuts the right side 111 of the through hole 110 , and the right side 111 of the through hole 110 generates a thrust force on the accessory 600 , specifically a thrust force that pushes the accessory 600 to the left.

The source of the above-mentioned thrust force may be based on the elastic restoring force of the brace body 100. For example, there is a certain distance difference between the position of the through hole 110 on the brace body 100 and the position of the accessory 600. Specifically, the right side 111 of the through hole 110 is compared with the position of the accessory 600. The right side is closer to the teeth 10 , so when the brace body 100 is worn, due to the staggered position of the through hole 110 and the accessory 600 , when the accessory 600 is placed in the through hole 110 , the accessory 600 abuts the right side of the through hole 110 surface 111, so that the through hole 110 is stretched laterally to the right, and the material of the brace body 100 at the right side 111 and its nearby connection deforms, generating a rebound force, thereby pushing the accessory 600 to the left, that is, the through hole is 110 Elastic recovery force to return to the original state (undeformed state).

When the brace body 100 is worn, there is a moving space between the teeth 10 and 20 for the teeth 20 to move toward the teeth 10. At this time, the brace body 100 fully or partially covers the labial and buccal surfaces, the palatolingual surfaces of the teeth 20 and The occlusal surface does not cover or block the left side of the tooth 20, and at the same time, space is reserved for the path of the high point of the tooth 20 when moving to the target position. Compared with the existing attachments that are entirely wrapped by braces, During the correction process of the teeth 20 by the dental orthodontic device of this embodiment, the teeth 20 are not blocked in the movement direction of the correction and can move a longer distance. The overall retention of the brace body 100 may depend on attachments provided on other teeth, which will not be described in detail here.

In other embodiments, the brace body 100 does not completely cover the teeth 10 and 30, but only partially covers the crown surface of the teeth or only contacts other attachments on the surfaces of the teeth 10 and 30. The remaining portion of the crown can be used for Bonding of other braces.

In this embodiment, the brace body 100 is formed in one piece. The brace body 100 can also be obtained by shearing and adjusting the integrally molded model. Preferably, it can be formed by 3D printing.

For a brace structure like the brace body 100 shown in Figure 1 that wraps the teeth as a whole, opening the through hole 110 may affect the elastic stress of the surrounding brace parts and the strength to maintain its shape, so that the local elastic stress will be released at the through hole 110. This affects the correction of the surrounding teeth. For example, when the teeth 10 and/or the teeth 30 need to be corrected through the elastic restoring force of the brace body 100, the through hole 110 may weaken the elastic force, thereby affecting the teeth 10 and/or the teeth 30. The orthodontic effect of teeth 30 years old.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3 , a side wall area 120 is defined around the through hole 110 on the brace body 100 . It can also be understood that the annular side wall area 120 defines the through hole 110 . The size of the side wall area 120 can be The control is adjusted in the area corresponding to the tooth 20. It should be noted that the labeling of the side wall area 120 in the illustration is intended to delineate a certain area on the brace body 100 for targeted explanation, and does not mean that the side wall area 120 is necessarily separated from the brace body 100 . , the side wall area 120 may also be part of the integrally formed structure of the brace body 100. As shown in FIG. 4 , the overall thickness of the side wall region 120 is greater than the thickness of its adjacent regions. Generally speaking, the overall thickness difference of the brace is small. After the thickness of the side wall region 120 is increased, the side wall region 120 is larger than the adjacent region. The area is less susceptible to deformation, thereby limiting the release of elastic stress at the through hole 110 caused by opening the through hole 110 , while ensuring that the movement path of the tooth 20 does not deviate from the preset track 110 when the tooth 20 is moved by the attachment 600 .

In other embodiments, the thickness of the side wall region 120 is not adjusted, but the hardness of the side wall region 120 is adjusted so that the hardness of the side wall region 120 is greater than the hardness of the adjacent region, so that the side wall region 120 can also be made The wall region 120 is less susceptible to deformation than the adjacent regions; or the hardness of the side wall region 120 is made smaller than the hardness of the adjacent regions to make the elastic stress release softer and slower. That is, the elastic stress release at the through hole 110 is limited by the difference in hardness between the sidewall area 120 and its adjacent areas.

In other embodiments, the thickness and hardness of the side wall region 120 are adjusted simultaneously, so that the thickness of the side wall region 120 is greater than the thickness of the adjacent regions, and the hardness of the side wall region 120 is different from the hardness and elasticity of the adjacent regions. , to better limit the elastic stress release at the through hole 110.

In other embodiments, the above-mentioned side wall area 120 is configured as a component separate from the brace body 100 and is fixedly installed on the brace body 100, such as bonding, slot connection, etc. In this case, the through hole 110 is It is defined by the above-mentioned annular component, that is, the through hole 110 is the central through hole of the annular component. In some embodiments, the above component is made of metal material, for example, the metal material is rolled into a square tube shape, so that the component can be made thinner.

On the other hand, during the entire treatment process when the brace body 100 is worn, the attachment 600 will always be in contact with the upper side 112 and/or the lower side 113, and the amount of friction when the two are in contact will also affect the amount of movement of the teeth 20. , for this purpose, the elasticity and hardness of the edge of the above-mentioned component can be changed to reduce the friction force generated during the relative movement of the accessory 600 and the accessory 600 .

In order to improve the friction between the attachment 600 and the upper side 112 and/or the lower side 113, in other embodiments, the side of the through hole 110 is set as a curved surface structure, specifically, is set as an outer curved surface, that is, the curved surface is convex outward. rise, or bend toward the inside of the through hole 110, as shown in FIG. 5 . In Figure 5, by setting the upper side 112 and the lower side 113 as outer curved surfaces, the contact between the attachment 600 and the upper side 112 and/or the lower side 113 changes from surface contact to line contact, thereby reducing the friction between the two. Helps increase tooth movement by 20%. In addition, the curved surface can also be configured as a curling structure, which not only increases the thickness and strength of the side of the through hole 110, but also allows the curved surface structure in contact with the accessory 600 to provide better elasticity than the flat contact, such as the tooth 20 being pushed laterally. During the process, a vertical deflection occurs, that is, the attachment 600 will deflect vertically and press the upper side 112 or the lower side 113, although the upper side 112 or the lower side 113 of the planar structure will also provide elasticity to the attachment 600 force to keep it in the expected vertical position as much as possible, but the curved structure of the upper side 112 or the lower side 113 is more elastic than the flat structure, so the elastic force acting on the accessory 600 is more conducive to keeping the accessory 600 in the expected vertical position. to the position.

The curved structure arrangement of the upper side 112 and the lower side 113 in Figure 5 can also be used on the right side 111, which helps the thrust force on the accessory 600 to be slowly released, making the force softer and longer lasting. Preferably, the right side 111 is provided with a curling structure. As mentioned above, the optimization of thrust force can be further improved.

In other embodiments, another method is adopted for the curved surface arrangement of the right side 111. As shown in FIG. 6, the right side 111 is arranged to include a wavy convex curved surface, so that when it acts on Attachment 600 also enables the thrust to be released slowly, making it softer and more durable. The shape and number of the wavy shapes in the above structure are not limited here.

In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7 , the brace body 100 is provided with a mounting slot 130 (shown by dotted lines) in the area on the right side of the accessory 600 , and both ends of the elastic piece 140 that matches the mounting slot 130 can be inserted. And is restricted in the installation groove 130, so that the elastic piece 140 bends toward the accessory 600, and resists the accessory 600 to provide force to it. While the above-mentioned technical effect of curved right side surface 111 can be obtained, the thrust force can also be adjusted by selecting different elastic pieces 140, such as selecting elastic pieces 140 of different materials and/or sizes to adjust the effect on the attachment. With a thrust of 600, the material of the elastic piece 140 can be metal, plastic, etc., and is not limited here.

Figure 8 shows an example in which the through hole 110 on the brace body 100 extends in the vertical direction. Among the teeth 10, 20 and 30, the tooth 20 needs to be pulled downward. When the brace body 100 is worn, the attachment 600 abuts The upper side of the through hole 110 is held, so that the tooth 20 is moved downward by the thrust of this side. In actual use, the extension direction of the through hole 110, as well as the shape and cross section of the track can be set accordingly to meet the needs of tooth correction.

Embodiment 5

Figure 13 shows a schematic structural diagram of a dental orthodontic device according to another embodiment of the present invention, which includes a brace body 500 that can be worn on the maxillary dentition. Among the teeth 10, 20 and 30, the tooth 20 needs to be pulled downward, and the attachment 600 is fixedly attached to the tooth 20.

In this embodiment, the brace body 500 does not wrap the teeth 20, but is provided with a belt-shaped component 510 at the position of the tooth 20. The two ends of the belt-shaped component 510 are connected to the braces wrapping the teeth 10 and 30 respectively. When the brace body 500 is worn, the belt-shaped component 510 is placed on the upper side of the attachment 600. At this time, the belt-shaped component 510 is in a tensile deformation state, and its elastic recovery causes it to exert a downward pulling force on the attachment 600. The magnitude of the above-mentioned pulling force can be adjusted by setting the length of the band component 510 or the position of the attachment 600 on the tooth 20 . At the same time, there is an open space below the accessory 600, so there is no obstruction in the moving direction. Compared with the existing accessory that is completely wrapped by braces, it can move a longer distance.

In practical applications, the direction and shape of the band component 510 are determined according to the treatment plan. The band component 510 can be located below the attachment 600, or in other directions of the attachment 600 as needed. By wearing the brace body 500, the band component The misalignment between 510 and the accessory 600 causes the belt-shaped component 510 to deform, and exerts a force on the accessory 600 by using the rebound force. In this embodiment, there are no restrictions on the direction, shape, thickness, etc. of the belt-shaped component 510. It can be set into a polygonal shape, a curved shape, a folded shape, etc. as needed. There is no limit on the material of the belt-shaped component 510, and it can be designed as needed. It is made of the same material as the brace body 500 or other materials; there is no restriction on the connection method of the belt-shaped component 510 to the brace body 500. It can be integrally formed, or the belt-shaped component 510 can be As a discrete component, it is provided on the brace body 500 through corresponding connection methods, such as bonding, snapping, plugging, etc.

For the structure of the attachment 600 in the above embodiments, a suitable attachment structure can be selected according to the needs of correction, such as attachments with different geometric shapes. For example, in some embodiments, the attachment 600 is also provided with other devices (such as anchorage system, etc.), the hooks or loops are arranged on the side of the accessory 600 away from the teeth and exposed to the outside of the brace body 100 .
