The present embodiment provides an orthodontic appliance, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, comprising a transparent shell and an adjuster 2 covering the transparent shell. Specifically, the transparent tooth socket comprises an upper tooth socket 11 and a lower tooth socket 12, the adjuster 2 comprises an upper groove 24, a lower groove 25, an upper lip stopper 21 and a lower lip stopper 22, wherein the upper groove 24 and the lower groove 25 are arranged at two ends of the adjuster 2 and are respectively used for accommodating the upper tooth socket 11 and the lower tooth socket 12; the upper lip stopper 21 and the lower lip stopper 22 are respectively extended and arranged on the groove walls of the upper groove 24 and the lower groove 25 close to the lips, the upper lip stopper 21 extends towards the upper dental bed direction, and the lower lip stopper 22 extends towards the lower dental bed direction.

The patient wears transparent facing and adjuster 2 simultaneously, according to predetermineeing tooth 100 and rectify the scheme, sets up transparent facing and adjuster 2's shape, goes up facing 11 and lower facing 12 and holds respectively in adjuster 2's last slot 24 and lower slot 25, can align tooth 100 through transparent facing, and adjuster 2 can realize that tooth 100 jaw rebuilds, and jaw rebuild and tooth 100 are aligned and go on simultaneously, has improved the correction effect, and has shortened the cycle of correcting.

The transparent mouthpiece can also provide auxiliary adjustment force for the teeth 100 to extend or retract the teeth 100; the teeth 100 are effective against jaw traction as the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 are received in the upper groove 24 and the lower groove 25 of the adjuster 2, respectively; meanwhile, the upper lip stopper 21 is arranged between the upper tooth socket 11 and the upper lip 201, the lower lip stopper 22 is arranged between the lower tooth socket 12 and the lower lip 202, and the upper lip stopper 21 and the lower lip stopper 22 can respectively and effectively block the acting force of the muscles around the mouth and the cheek of a patient on the upper dentition and the lower dentition and improve the compression of the muscles around the mouth on the teeth 100; the correction effect is further improved by resisting jaw traction force, improving the perioral muscle force compression and the auxiliary adjustment force of the transparent tooth socket; when the adjuster 2 is used with steel wire orthodontics, the bracket is easy to fall off from the tooth 100, and the transparent tooth socket is light and thin in structure, so that the adjuster 2 is attached to the transparent tooth socket conveniently.

Optionally, the upper lip stop 21 and the lower lip stop 22 extend to the upper gum and the lower gum, respectively, to increase the isolation area between the upper lip stop 21 and the upper lip 201, and between the lower lip stop 22 and the lower lip 202, so as to further relieve the force of the perioral muscle force on the teeth 100.

Optionally, the adjuster 2 is made of soft rubber materials, so that foreign body sensation in the oral cavity is avoided, and humanized design is met.

With continued reference to fig. 4, the adjuster 2 may optionally further comprise a palatal stop 23, wherein the palatal stop 23 is disposed on a wall of the upper groove 24 adjacent to the tongue 300 and extends in the palatal direction, and the tongue 300 is placed on the palatal stop 23 to assist the tongue of the patient to be placed at the correct position during orthodontic treatment, to assist the patient to return to normal breathing, and to facilitate orthodontic alignment.

Optionally, the adjuster 2 is integrally formed, so that the adjuster is convenient to take, wear and store, and meanwhile, the structure of the adjuster 2 is more stable, and damage is avoided; alternatively, the manufacturing is by 3D printing or die manufacturing.

The adjuster 2 is of an integral structure, and the patient is inconvenient to talk when wearing the adjuster, and optionally the adjuster 2 is detachably connected with the transparent tooth socket, so that flexible use can be tried under some special or inconvenient conditions; in practical use, the adjuster 2 can be worn at night for 10-14 hours, so that the adjuster is convenient to take off and wear every day.

Optionally, the adjuster 2 covers the entire dentition, so that the entire dentition is adjusted at the same time, and the effect is better.

Because the skeleton is still in the growth phase in the adolescent period, the dental appliance is particularly suitable for being developed in the adolescent period so as to reduce the risks of tooth extraction and operation required in adult orthodontic treatment. Common patient types include: the mandible of the class 2 malocclusion patients is retracted, the contra-occlusion of the class 3 malocclusion patients is performed, and the treatment schemes are respectively given for the two juvenile patients.

As shown in figures 5 and 6, for the problem of back occlusion of patients with class 3 malocclusion, the adjuster 2 adjusts the position of the anterior mandibular teeth to make the retracted anterior mandibular teeth 102 extend forward to the incisal bisector to adapt to the reconstruction of the condyles, and when the adjuster is worn, the transparent braces are fitted to align the dentition to solve the problem of crowding of the teeth 100. Optionally, a gap is provided between the inner wall of the upper lip stop 21 and the upper shell 11 to reserve a growth space for the upper anterior teeth 101, and the lower lip stop 22 abuts the lower shell 12 to hold the lower anterior teeth 102 in the existing position.

As shown in fig. 7 and 8, for the mandibular retraction problem of the class 2 malocclusion patient, the adjuster 2 adjusts the position of the mandibular anterior teeth to retract the lower anterior teeth 102 that are extended forward to a shallow depth, and aligns the dentition with the transparent braces while wearing the adjuster, solving the problem of crowding the teeth 100. Optionally, a gap is provided between the inner wall of the lower lip stop 22 and the lower shell 12 to allow room for the lower front teeth 102 to grow, and the upper lip stop 21 abuts the upper shell 11 to hold the upper front teeth 101 in the existing position.

Optionally, the gap is 0.1-0.5mm apart to ensure growth of the jaw bone in a desired growth cycle, depending on the bone growth.

It is obvious that the above embodiments of the present invention are only examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. Other variations and modifications will be apparent to persons skilled in the art in light of the above description. And are neither required nor exhaustive of all embodiments. Any modification, equivalent replacement, and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
