A kind of orthodontic bracket with double self locking system
Technical field
This utility model relates to a kind of dental orthodontic instrument field, is specifically related to a kind of orthodontic bracket with double self locking system.
Background technology
Orthodontic treatment is a subdiscipline that degree of specialization is higher of dental field, is mainly to rescue for tooth, jawbone, facial deformity, by oral cavity, inner Fixed Orthodontics appliance recovers patient's normal occlusion function gradually.Bracket is the important component part of orthodontic appliance, is mainly adhered on labial teeth, canine tooth, premolars, and orthodontic treatment is by being arranged in the groove of bracket rescuing arch wire, and the Tooth Movement of guiding dislocation is to desirable position.
Traditional bracket adopts the mode of ligature or the ligation of India rubber circle will rescue arch wire to be fixed in groove, but the shortcoming such as this fixed form exists the time-consuming inconvenience of clinical manipulation, frictional force is large, level of comfort is poor.In recent years, the orthodontic treatment that appears as malocclusion that locking bracket (self-ligating bracket) is rescued system has been introduced new method.The feature of locking bracket maximum is to substitute conventional junction tied silk (circle) by the self-locking structure of bracket arch wire is carried out to ligation, has reduced the frictional force of orthodontic appliance inside, and making to rescue efficiency significantly increases, and is a kind of quick, comfortable, safe fixed orthodontic device.At present, locking bracket has low-frictional force, reduces anchorage loss, improves clinical manipulation efficiency, the particular advantages of patient to aspects such as pain reaction are light with respect to traditional bracket, and locking bracket engagement is stable, small and exquisite attractive in appearance, patient wears with comfortable, easy to clean, Chairtime shortens, further consultation interval extends, and rescues that efficiency is high, the course for the treatment of is shorter.Make locking bracket obtain more and more correction doctors' understanding and affirm.
Common locking bracket is slide way type structure (a passive slide) or locker formula structure (a spring clip).Slide way type bracket arranges slip lid in groove both sides, includes arch wire in rear promotion slip lid and forms a closed conduct solid, that arch wire can move freely, claims again passive-type locking bracket (passive self-ligating bracket).The built-in high resiliency locker of locker formula bracket, the elastic pressure of closing rear generation can act on arch wire when needed, provides and continues soft orthodontic force, claims again active locking bracket (active self-ligating bracket).Because the self-locking device multidigit of locking bracket is in bracket metal surface, convenient for instrument or finger tip switch, ligation process is more easy.
Current most locking bracket itself has certain design defect, its slip lid or locker are easily opened under some unexpected factor impact, can lose the control of groove to arch wire if slip lid or locker are surprisingly opened, affect therapeutic effect, instead extended treatment time.And due to the complicated structure of locking bracket, some external force (comprising masticatory force) and doctor's maloperation all may cause the damage of locking bracket, thereby cause slip lid or locker to open and to close, when serious, even cause locking bracket to scrap, increase patient's financial burden, improved treatment cost.Again, the self-locking device of locking bracket occupies larger space on facing conventionally, makes the thickness of locking bracket larger, while chewing, may come off, and therefore the poor child of compliance and deep overbite patient's use is existed to limitation.Simultaneously because the short and small circle of working wing of locking bracket is blunt, more inconvenient, the easy slippage of maintenance in the time adding ligation adnexa, and inserting arch wire and take out in the process of arch wire, locking bracket is compared and is had great uncomfortable property with traditional double-vane bracket, usually causes patient's pain.In addition, in the time using the bending indivedual tooth of Rectangular SS archwires adjustment, arch wire is in place compared with difficult and cannot close slip lid or locker, and these have all limited the use of traditional intense adjustment mode.
Canadian Patent: locking bracket (CA2769679A1) discloses in the technical scheme that keeps the top in the gap 3 between the wing 11 to stretch out in opposite directions two tongues 12, tongue 12 and gap 3 are configured for holding the archwire slot of arch wire jointly, it has utilized the extended structure that keeps the wing, and without independent bayonet unit is separately set on bracket.Tongue is integrated with keeping the wing, in the time that arch wire is inserted or take out archwire slot, will keep the wing to separate to the both sides in gap by use instrument, opens an archwire slot gateway that allows arch wire to come in and go out between drive tongue.Separately keep the wing to make it be out of shape to realize to both sides because opening of archwire slot gateway in this patent relies on external force completely, therefore in the time large-sized arch wire need to being inserted or taken out archwire slot, required strength is larger, and patient easily does not feel like oneself; And owing to can having enough spaces to allow large-sized arch wire turnover in order to ensure between two tongues, require to keep wing bending amplitude larger, thereby to causing adverse effect the fatigue life that keeps coupling part between the wing and substrate, even produce permanent deformation or fracture.
