Description

本発明は、歯科の歯列矯正治療、不正咬合矯正治療に関し、歯列矯正治療用硬質マウスピースとその製造方法に関するものである。   The present invention relates to dental orthodontic treatment and malocclusion orthodontic treatment, and relates to a hard mouthpiece for orthodontic treatment and a method for manufacturing the same.

従来の歯列矯正治療に際し用いられる歯列矯正治療装置は、各歯に予めブラケットを接着しておいて、ワイヤで作成したリング状或いはU字状の器具を、前記ブラケットに設けた溝に挿入し固定させることにより保持させるもので、このブラケットとワイヤからなる歯列矯正治療装置は多く使われてきているが、矯正治療段階毎に、歯科医師はブラケットの装着と固定およびワイヤの固定に手間が掛かるといった問題があった。さらに、調整時に痛みがあり、歯列及び装置の口内での清掃も困難で、着用時に見た目も悪く、長期間にわたりストレスがかかるなどの問題もあった。   A conventional orthodontic treatment device used for orthodontic treatment is a method in which a bracket is previously bonded to each tooth, and a ring-shaped or U-shaped device made of wire is inserted into a groove provided in the bracket. The orthodontic treatment device consisting of this bracket and wire has been used in many cases, but at each orthodontic treatment stage, the dentist needs trouble in mounting and fixing the bracket and fixing the wire. There was a problem that it took. Furthermore, there is a problem in that there is pain during adjustment, it is difficult to clean the dentition and the mouth of the device, it looks bad when worn, and stress is applied over a long period of time.

また、歯の側面に添うように配置され、かつ、該歯に対して専ら矯正力を及ぼすための部材と、これを保持・装着もしくは補強するための部材とをNi−Ti系合金で同一の材質で一体に構成した歯列矯正装置も開示されている。また、これを改良した歯の内側と外側からはさみ込む形で歯列に装着し、任意方向に矯正力を働かせる三次元構造を有し、かつ、歯列の上部より歯に密着するように被せ、歯列に対して押し付ける力を発生させて歯列を矯正するNi−Ti系合金で同一の材質で一体に構成した歯列矯正装置があり、前記歯列矯正装置の製造方法は、まず治療を要する患者の歯より模型を作成し、次いで移動して矯正を要する歯に対して移動距離、歯に加える力並びに方向を考えて歯列矯正後の正常な位置に反映した歯列矯正装置を設計して、この設計を基に精密鋳造で製造するとした技術が公開されている。(特許文献1参照)   Further, the Ni-Ti alloy is the same as the member arranged so as to follow the side surface of the tooth and the member for exclusively exerting the correcting force on the tooth and the member for holding, mounting or reinforcing the member. An orthodontic appliance that is integrally formed of a material is also disclosed. In addition, it is attached to the dentition in such a way that it is sandwiched from the inside and outside of the improved tooth, and has a three-dimensional structure that applies corrective force in any direction, and covers the teeth so that it is in close contact with the teeth from the top of the dentition. In addition, there is an orthodontic appliance that is integrally formed of the same material with a Ni-Ti alloy that generates a pressing force against the dentition and corrects the dentition, and the manufacturing method of the orthodontic appliance is a treatment first. An orthodontic appliance that creates a model from the teeth of a patient who needs to be corrected and then reflects the normal position after orthodontic correction considering the movement distance, the force applied to the teeth and the direction of the teeth that need to be corrected A technology designed and manufactured by precision casting based on this design has been made public. (See Patent Document 1)

また、歯列矯正器の設計法では、歯列矯正治療を必要とする患者の口の形に関する歯の解剖学的なデジタルデータをとり、患者集団の矯正データの蓄積から最も適していると思われる統計的に平均的な設計を選択して、この患者の理想的な歯の仕上げ位置を自動的に計算し、歯の取り付けるブラケットなどの器具の接続点や、アーチワイヤやブラケットの形などの器具の外形を自動的に得る設計法が開示されている。(特許文献2参照) Also, the orthodontic appliance design method is most suitable for taking the anatomical digital data of the mouth shape of the patient who needs orthodontic treatment and accumulating the correction data of the patient population. Choose a statistically average design that automatically calculates the ideal tooth finish position for this patient, such as attachment points for appliances such as tooth brackets, archwire and bracket shapes, etc. A design method for automatically obtaining the outer shape of the instrument is disclosed.

従来の歯列矯正治療装置はブラケット・ワイヤ方式若しくは金属帯線方式が多く、歯冠部に局部的に矯正応力を働かせて歯列矯正治療を行うものが殆どである。この場合には歯冠部の局部応力による歯槽骨に掛かる負担が大きくなるという問題があった。また、矯正治療前の口腔の歯列模型から矯正治療後の歯列を想定して歯冠の回転・移動を設計して決めるが、多くは矯正を行いながら、口腔内において歯列矯正治療を矯正治療の流れの中で行うため精密な矯正治療が困難であって、歯冠部の移動がタイミング良く、適切に行えない、かつ、期間が長くかかる問題がある。特に、咬合矯正治療については上、下の歯列について矯正治療を行う必要があるので、この点において治療が困難であるという問題が大きかった。また、口腔内の歯列の三次元形状データから情報技術システムを利用した矯正治療方法が米国で実施されているようだが、これによっても上、下の歯列矯正治療を必要とする咬合矯正治療への適用は困難と思われる。これらの課題を解決するために、本出願人は、歯列および歯冠部全体に矯正力を働かせる硬質マウスピースを採用し、上、下の歯列模型において、各矯正治療回毎に適切に歯列並びに不正咬合を矯正した歯列模型を作成し、この歯列模型に基づいて製作する硬質マウスピースの製造方法を提供するものである。   Conventional orthodontic treatment devices are often of the bracket wire type or metal band type, and most of them perform orthodontic treatment by applying orthodontic stress locally to the crown. In this case, there is a problem that the burden on the alveolar bone due to the local stress of the crown is increased. In addition, the rotation and movement of the crown is designed and determined from the dental model of the oral cavity before the orthodontic treatment, assuming the postdental orthodontic dentition, but in many cases orthodontic treatment is performed in the oral cavity while correcting. Since it is performed in the course of orthodontic treatment, precise orthodontic treatment is difficult, and there is a problem that the crown part cannot be moved properly at the right time, and it takes a long time. In particular, since it is necessary to perform orthodontic treatment on the upper and lower dentitions regarding occlusal orthodontic treatment, there is a serious problem that the treatment is difficult in this respect. In addition, it seems that orthodontic treatment methods using information technology system from the three-dimensional shape data of the dentition in the oral cavity seem to be implemented in the United States, but this also makes the orthodontic treatment that requires upper and lower orthodontic treatment It seems difficult to apply it. In order to solve these problems, the present applicant adopts a hard mouthpiece that applies the correction force to the entire dentition and the crown part, and in the upper and lower dentition models appropriately for each correction treatment time. The present invention provides a method for producing a hard mouthpiece that creates a dentition model that corrects dentition and malocclusion, and that is manufactured based on this dentition model.

According to this hard mouthpiece, it is possible to apply a stress to move and correct the entire crown portion during orthodontic treatment, so that the crown portion can be moved smoothly and the alveolar bone is not overwhelmed. . In addition, hard plastic is made of a cellulose acetate butyrate plastic material and is used in harsh conditions such as chewing at 100% humidity, so it has excellent corrosion resistance, water resistance (does not swell), load resistance, and hardness. It is suitable for orthodontic treatment because of its elasticity (no cracks). In addition, it is lightweight, excellent in transparency and moldability, and inexpensive. In addition, since it is a transparent material, it is integrated with the dentition at the time of wearing for orthodontic treatment and has excellent aesthetics.

Then, the dentition model is attached to the articulator and the crown model is rotated and moved individually to adjust the final target dentition and the dentition model that corrects malocclusion. Process. Then, the number of orthodontic treatments from the dentition model before orthodontic treatment to the dentition model of the final orthodontic treatment target and the amount of rotation / movement of the crown part per one orthodontic treatment round are determined. Decide from the viewpoint of avoiding excessive load on the alveolar bone and reducing pain and discomfort. Next, a dental model obtained by rotating / moving the crown part per orthodontic treatment is adjusted from the dental model before the orthodontic treatment, and a plurality of mother models are manufactured by imitating the dental model after the adjustment. In this way, the mother model is manufactured by imitating the dentition model for each orthodontic treatment, and then the hard mouthpiece is manufactured from the mother model for each orthodontic treatment. According to this method, it is possible to confirm the result of actual rotation and movement of individual crowns with a real model and correct by simulation with the real one before applying orthodontic treatment to the patient. There is a feature that can be manufactured by accurately grasping the state of orthodontic treatment and reflecting it on a hard mouthpiece as an orthodontic treatment instrument.

After that, it can be fixed and maintained without changing the correction state.

また、本発明に係る請求項6の歯列矯正治療用硬質マウスピースの製造方法は、前記矯正治療回毎の矯正を必要とする各歯冠部の移動量が一回当たり0.2〜0.5mmの範囲であることを特徴とする   In the method of manufacturing a hard mouthpiece for orthodontic treatment according to claim 6 of the present invention, the amount of movement of each crown portion that requires correction for each correction treatment is 0.2 to 0 per time. .5 mm range

矯正量の範囲を決めることによりスムースに矯正治療できる。すなわち、移動量を一回当たり0.2mm以下であれば、矯正治療回数が増え、矯正治療に要する合計時間がむやみに増加するおそれがある。また、一回当たり0.5mm以上になれば硬質マウスピースによる患者の歯冠部へ掛かる矯正力が大きくて、歯槽部、歯槽骨への負担が大きすぎ、場合によれば疼痛、違和感を与えるおそれがある。   Smooth correction treatment can be performed by determining the range of correction amount. That is, if the movement amount is 0.2 mm or less per time, the number of correction treatments increases, and the total time required for the correction treatments may increase unnecessarily. Moreover, if it becomes 0.5 mm or more per time, the correction force exerted on the patient's crown by the hard mouthpiece is large, and the burden on the alveolar part and the alveolar bone is too great. There is a fear.

また、本発明に係る請求項7の歯列矯正治療用硬質マウスピースの製造方法は、前記矯正治療後の歯列模型を母模型にして各々の歯列矯正治療用硬質マウスピースを製作する時に、肉厚0.5〜1.5mmの硬質プラスチック板を用いて製作することを特徴とする   According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for manufacturing a hard mouthpiece for orthodontic treatment according to the present invention, wherein each orthodontic treatment hard mouthpiece is manufactured using the orthodontic treatment post orthodontic treatment as a mother model.

According to the ninth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a plurality of orthodontic treatment hard mouthpieces manufactured by the orthodontic treatment hard mouthpiece manufacturing method according to any one of claims 3 to 8. It is a rigid mouthpiece for orthodontic treatment according to claim 2, comprising a set.

以上説明したように、本発明に係る歯列矯正治療用硬質マウスピースによれば、透明な材質のものを使用するから歯列に装着しても審美性に優れているし、可撤性であるため食事の時とか必要に応じて取り外しが可能である。また、歯冠部全体の移動が行えるため、歯槽骨にかかる負担が軽減される。また、本発明に係る歯列矯正治療用硬質マウスピースの製造方法によれば、実物模型により個々の歯冠部を実際に回転・移動を行って実物でシミュレーションにより矯正した結果を患者への矯正治療を施す前に確認できるので、歯列並びに不正咬合の矯正治療状況をより的確に把握して矯正治療器具である硬質マウスピースに反映して製造できるので、この複数の歯列矯正治療用硬質マウスピースを使用すると、被治療者にかかる疼痛、違和感等のストレスが軽減でき、かつ、矯正治療終了時点で歯列並びに咬合の審美性に優れている。また、本発明に係る製造方法による歯列矯正治療用硬質マウスピースによれば、個々の歯冠部の上下移動(梃出、圧入)が比較的容易に行うことができる。以上のように、歯列矯正治療並びに不正咬合矯正治療をより効果的に実施することができる。   As described above, according to the hard mouthpiece for orthodontic treatment according to the present invention, since it uses a transparent material, it is excellent in aesthetics even if it is attached to the dentition, and is removable. It can be removed at mealtime or as needed. Moreover, since the entire crown portion can be moved, the burden on the alveolar bone is reduced. In addition, according to the method of manufacturing a hard mouthpiece for orthodontic treatment according to the present invention, the results obtained by actually rotating and moving individual crown portions with a real model and correcting the result by simulation with the real model are corrected to the patient. Since it can be confirmed before the treatment is performed, the orthodontic treatment status of the dentition and malocclusion can be grasped more accurately and reflected in the rigid mouthpiece, which is an orthodontic treatment instrument. When the mouthpiece is used, stress such as pain and discomfort applied to the subject can be reduced, and the dentition and occlusion are excellent at the end of the orthodontic treatment. Moreover, according to the hard mouthpiece for orthodontic treatment by the manufacturing method according to the present invention, the individual crown portions can be moved up and down (extruding and press-fitting) relatively easily. As described above, orthodontic treatment and malocclusion treatment can be more effectively performed.

表1は、患者の歯列、口腔に基づいて複数回の矯正治療を行うための歯列矯正治療用硬質マウスピースを製造する方法のフローシートであって、ステップ1から19迄で構成される。   Table 1 is a flow sheet of a method for manufacturing a hard mouthpiece for orthodontic treatment for performing multiple orthodontic treatments based on a patient's dentition and oral cavity, and includes steps 1 to 19. .

Figure 2005270134
Figure 2005270134

本発明に係る歯列矯正治療用硬質マウスピースの製造方法を表1に基づき説明すると、ステップ1では、患者の歯冠部、口腔の印象(型に取る)を常法により採得する。印象材としては粘弾性を有するシリコーン樹脂又はラバー材を用いる。ステップ2では、印象型に常法により石膏を注入し、歯冠部、歯槽部、口腔の石膏模型を製作する。   The manufacturing method of a hard mouthpiece for orthodontic treatment according to the present invention will be described with reference to Table 1. In Step 1, an impression of a patient's crown and oral cavity (taken in a mold) is obtained by a conventional method. As the impression material, a silicone resin or rubber material having viscoelasticity is used. In Step 2, gypsum is injected into the impression mold by a conventional method to produce a plaster model for the crown, alveolar part, and oral cavity.

ステップ3では、図1a,bに示すように歯列石膏模型から歯冠部1と歯槽部3との境界を削合して歯冠部1を歯列の形で独立させる。ステップ4では、取り出した歯冠部の歯列模型の各歯冠部1にピン2を植立するピンホールが歯科技工用ドリルにて掘られる。このピンホールは通常断面円形で深さ5mmが適切である。。ステップ5では、各歯冠部1のピンホールに接着剤を用いてピン2を植立する。このピン2は、歯冠部より突き出た部分(約15mm長さ)が断面で一部弦を有する円形であるダウエル型歯科技工用ピンを用いるのが、歯冠部の回転・移動させる矯正作業において、歯槽部内でピン2の位置を確実に固定できるので好ましい。   In step 3, as shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b, the boundary between the crown portion 1 and the alveolar portion 3 is ground from the dentition gypsum model to make the crown portion 1 independent in the form of a dentition. In step 4, a pin hole for planting the pin 2 in each crown portion 1 of the dental model of the extracted crown portion is dug with a dental technician drill. This pinhole is usually circular in cross section and a depth of 5 mm is appropriate. . In step 5, the pin 2 is planted using an adhesive in the pinhole of each crown 1. This pin 2 uses a dowel-type dental laboratory pin whose portion protruding from the crown (about 15 mm in length) is circular with a partial cross section, and correction work for rotating and moving the crown Is preferable because the position of the pin 2 can be reliably fixed in the alveolar portion.

ステップ6では、図1cに示すように、ピン2を植立した歯冠部1が連なった石膏歯列(図2に示す)をステップ1の印象型6に戻す。印象型はシリコーン樹脂等の粘弾性に富む材料だから歯冠部1は容易に収納できる。ステップ7では、図1dに示すように、印象型6に収まった歯冠部1から突き出て植立されたピン2の部位に歯槽部3を歯冠部1に接して形成する。歯槽部3の材料は、後でピン2が植立した各歯冠部1を歯槽部3内で回転・移動し、矯正後は固定できるようにするため、熱可塑性の材料として蝋が適している。熱可塑性としては、温水(60〜80℃)で軟化し、室温で固化する特性がよい。よって、この場合も歯槽部材料である蝋を温めて軟化させてから歯槽部3を形成することができる。ステップ8では、図1eに示すように、ステップ7で形成した歯槽部3の背部に石膏カバー4を形成する。この石膏カバー4は歯冠部1と歯槽部3をカバーし、全体として口腔部5を有する歯列模型を形成し、歯冠部1と歯槽部3とを保持する支持体の役目も担う(図3参照)。   In step 6, as shown in FIG. 1 c, the gypsum dentition (shown in FIG. 2) in which the crown portion 1 in which the pin 2 is planted is returned to the impression mold 6 in step 1. Since the impression mold is a viscoelastic material such as silicone resin, the crown 1 can be easily stored. In step 7, as shown in FIG. 1d, the alveolar portion 3 is formed in contact with the crown portion 1 at the site of the pin 2 protruding from the crown portion 1 housed in the impression mold 6 and planted. As the material of the alveolar part 3, wax is suitable as a thermoplastic material so that each crown part 1 in which the pins 2 are set later can be rotated and moved in the alveolar part 3 and fixed after correction. Yes. As thermoplasticity, the property which softens with warm water (60-80 degreeC) and solidifies at room temperature is good. Therefore, also in this case, the alveolar portion 3 can be formed after the wax which is the alveolar portion material is warmed and softened. In step 8, as shown in FIG. 1 e, a gypsum cover 4 is formed on the back of the alveolar portion 3 formed in step 7. This gypsum cover 4 covers the crown 1 and the alveolar part 3, forms an dentition model having the oral cavity 5 as a whole, and also serves as a support for holding the dental crown 1 and the alveolar part 3 ( (See FIG. 3).

ステップ9では、図1fに示すように、ステップ8の上下の歯列模型を咬合器7に装着する。咬合器7は上顎部7aと下顎部7bとを蝶番7cで蝶着して咬合運動ができると共に、咬合状態を保持するための上顎下顎間調節ネジ7dから構成される通常のものである。各上下顎部7a,bには対応する上下の歯列模型を装着して、矯正治療対象患者の現時点の噛み合わせ状態にになるよう調整した後接着剤で固定して、矯正治療前の歯列と咬合の状態を再現する。咬合器7に装着された上下の歯列模型は図3に示すように上顎部7aを反転し展開した状態に保持でき、この状態で歯列模型の型データをレーザー式三次元型読取器で読み、三次元彫刻器により母模型を製作することができるし、又は印象方式により印象型から母模型を製作することができる。   In step 9, as shown in FIG. 1f, the upper and lower dentition models in step 8 are mounted on the articulator 7. The articulator 7 is a normal one composed of upper and lower jaw intermaxillary adjustment screws 7d for hinged movement of the upper jaw portion 7a and the lower jaw portion 7b with a hinge 7c and for maintaining the occlusal state. The upper and lower jaws 7a and 7b are fitted with corresponding upper and lower dentition models, adjusted so as to be in the current meshing state of the patient to be orthodontic treatment, and then fixed with an adhesive. Reproduce the state of the row and occlusion. As shown in FIG. 3, the upper and lower dentition models mounted on the articulator 7 can hold the upper jaw portion 7a in an unfolded state, and in this state, the model data of the dentition model is obtained with a laser type three-dimensional reader. A mother model can be manufactured by reading and using a three-dimensional engraving machine, or a mother model can be manufactured from an impression mold by an impression method.

ステップ10として、図3の前記歯列模型において、図1gに示すように、一体に連なった歯冠部1をフライスカッターにより個々の歯冠部1に分離した加工を施す。フライスカッターの代わりに歯科用エンジン切削器又は技工用ノコギリを用いても良い。この分離作業に当たって、極力細かな分離器を用いることに留意する必要がある。   In step 10, as shown in FIG. 1g, the dental crown model 1 shown in FIG. 1g is subjected to a process in which the crown parts 1 connected integrally are separated into individual crown parts 1 by a milling cutter. Instead of a milling cutter, a dental engine cutter or a saw for technology may be used. It should be noted that a separator as fine as possible is used for this separation operation.

ステップ11として、図1hに示すように、歯冠部1を回転・移動を行って矯正を行い、かつ、図1iに示すように、咬合の調整を行って、最終的に矯正が終わった歯列模型を作成する。この最終矯正治療目標の歯列模型に対してレーザー式三次元型読取器から三次元型データをパソコンに取り込むか又は印象型にして型データを保存しておく。   As shown in FIG. 1h, as shown in FIG. 1h, the crown 1 is rotated and moved for correction, and the occlusion is adjusted as shown in FIG. Create a column model. With respect to the dentition model of the final orthodontic treatment target, the three-dimensional type data is taken into the personal computer from the laser type three-dimensional type reader or stored in the impression type.

ステップ12として、矯正治療前歯列模型から最終矯正治療目標である歯列模型に到る間の個々の歯冠部の回転・移動のデータが実物模型から得られるので、このデータ情報から個々の歯冠部について一回当たりの矯正治療の回数及び移動量を決め、ひいては、総矯正治療回数を決める。通常、矯正治療の症状に応じて変わるが、数回から数十回の矯正治療回数になる。また、一回当たりの回転・移動は0.2〜0.5mmの範囲が適当である。   As step 12, rotation and movement data of individual crown portions during the period from the orthodontic treatment orthodontic model to the final orthodontic treatment target dental model are obtained from the actual model. Decide the number of orthodontic treatments and the amount of movement per crown, and eventually the total number of orthodontic treatments. Usually, it varies depending on the symptoms of orthodontic treatment, but the number of orthodontic treatments is several to tens of times. Further, the rotation / movement per one time is suitably in the range of 0.2 to 0.5 mm.

ステップ13,14では、矯正治療前の歯列模型から一矯正治療当たりの歯冠部の回転・移動を行って、一回目の矯正後の歯列模型を作成し、ステップ15において、歯列模型の三次元型データの保存(前述のようにデジタルで保存するか、印象型で保存するか任意であるが、長期保存や途中修正等の観点からはデジタルの方がよい)を行う。次いで2回目の矯正のためステップ13,14を繰り返し、ステップ15で矯正した歯列模型の三次元型データを読み込み保存する。このようにステップ13,14,15をステップ12で決定した矯正治療回数だけ繰り返して各矯正後の歯列模型の三次元型データを保存する。   In steps 13 and 14, the crown part per orthodontic treatment is rotated and moved from the orthodontic model before orthodontic treatment to create a first orthodontic model after orthodontic treatment. The three-dimensional data is stored (the digital storage or the impression storage is optional as described above, but the digital is better from the viewpoint of long-term storage or midway correction). Next, steps 13 and 14 are repeated for the second correction, and the three-dimensional data of the dentition model corrected in step 15 is read and stored. In this way, Steps 13, 14, and 15 are repeated for the number of times of the orthodontic treatment determined in Step 12, and the three-dimensional data of the dental model after each correction is stored.

次いで、ステップ16では、各矯正後の歯列模型の三次元型データから、デジタル処理の場合には三次元型データを保存しているパソコンから三次元彫刻器に指令をだして硬質プラスチック又は石膏を彫刻して歯列模型の母模型を作成する。一方、印象型で保存した場合にはその型を用いて石膏の歯列模型の母模型を作成する。   Next, in step 16, in the case of digital processing, from the three-dimensional data of the orthodontic model after each correction, a command is sent from the personal computer storing the three-dimensional data to the three-dimensional engraving machine to make a hard plastic or plaster. To create a mother model of the dentition model. On the other hand, when the impression mold is stored, a mother model of a gypsum dentition model is created using the mold.

ステップ17は、ステップ16の複数に亘る歯列模型の母模型に倣って厚さ0.5〜1.5mmの熱可塑性の硬質プラスチック板を用いて加熱圧着することにより歯列矯正治療用硬質プラスチック製マウスピースを製作する。この材質や板厚は症状等による矯正の度合で変えるが通常、板厚は0.6mmと0.8mmを交互に使用する。   Step 17 is a hard plastic for orthodontic treatment by thermocompression bonding using a thermoplastic hard plastic plate having a thickness of 0.5 to 1.5 mm following the mother model of the dentition model in step 16. Make a mouthpiece. The material and thickness vary depending on the degree of correction due to symptoms and the like. Usually, the thickness is 0.6 mm and 0.8 mm.

前述の製造方法で得られた歯列矯正治療用硬質プラスチック製マウスピースの歯列への装着当初は0.5〜1.0mm程度浮き上がっているが歯冠部の移動と共に、歯冠部にフィットして行く。基本的には2週間毎に新しい歯列矯正治療用硬質プラスチック製マウスピースに取り替えて歯列並びに不正咬合の矯正治療を行う。本発明に係る製造方法による歯列矯正治療用硬質プラスチック製マウスピースを装着して矯正治療を行えば歯列矯正治療と同時に不正咬合の矯正治療も的確に行えるのが最大の特徴である。   The hard plastic mouthpiece for orthodontic treatment obtained by the above-mentioned manufacturing method floats up to about 0.5 to 1.0 mm at the beginning, but it fits the crown as the crown moves. Go. Basically, a new orthodontic treatment hard plastic mouthpiece is replaced every two weeks for orthodontic treatment of dentition and malocclusion. When the orthodontic treatment is performed with the hard plastic mouthpiece for orthodontic treatment according to the manufacturing method according to the present invention, orthodontic treatment can be accurately performed simultaneously with orthodontic treatment.

25歳の患者に対し、シリコーン樹脂印象材(商品名エクザハイフレックス)を用いて、歯列及び口腔の印象をとった。この印象型に石膏を注入して歯列模型を製作し、これから歯冠部を削合した。次いで、各歯冠部に歯科技工用ドリルを用いてピンホールを掘り、これにダウエル型歯科技工用ピン(径0.25mm、長さ20mm、内歯冠部へ5mm埋め込み)を接着剤にて装着した。次いで歯冠部を印象型に戻して収納し、植立し、露出したピン部を歯槽部として蝋(商品名クエストピュアパラフィンワックス)を用いて作成し、この背部に石膏を用いて矯正治療前の歯列模型を作成した。この上下の歯列模型を咬合器に装着し矯正治療前の咬合状態を再現した。次いで、歯槽部の蝋を60〜80℃の温水にて軟化した状態で、歯冠部の回転・移動を(具体的には0.3〜0.5mm移動)行い、最終矯正治療目標の歯列模型を調整した。矯正治療一回当たりの歯冠部の移動を0.3mmとし、総矯正治療回数を40回とした。   A 25-year-old patient was given an impression of the dentition and oral cavity using a silicone resin impression material (trade name Exa High Flex). Gypsum was poured into this impression mold to produce a dentition model, and the crown was then cut. Next, pinholes are dug in each crown using a dental laboratory drill, and dowel-type dental laboratory pins (diameter 0.25 mm, length 20 mm, embedded 5 mm in the inner crown) are bonded with an adhesive. Installed. Next, the crown part is returned to the impression type, stored, planted, and the exposed pin part is created using a wax (trade name Quest Pure Paraffin Wax) as the alveolar part, and before the orthodontic treatment using plaster on the back part A dentition model was created. The upper and lower dentition models were attached to an articulator to reproduce the occlusal state before orthodontic treatment. Next, with the wax in the alveolar part softened with hot water at 60 to 80 ° C., the crown part is rotated and moved (specifically, 0.3 to 0.5 mm), and the final orthodontic treatment target tooth The row model was adjusted. The movement of the crown portion per orthodontic treatment was 0.3 mm, and the total number of orthodontic treatments was 40.

歯列模型を咬合器に装着したまま、矯正毎の歯冠部の回転・移動を行い、矯正後の歯列模型を調整した。矯正毎に調整した歯列模型を咬合器に装着したままの状態で(図3参照)、レーザー式三次元型読取器(商品名ローランド3DレーザースキャナーLPX−250)で三次元型データを採取しパソコンに保存した。これらパソコンに保存した三次元型データに基づいて三次元彫刻器(商品名ローランドEGX−300)を用いて硬質プラスチックブロックを彫刻し、歯列模型の母模型を製作した。この母模型に倣って0.5〜1.5mm厚の硬質プラスチック板(商品名エルコジュール)を100〜120℃で加熱圧着して硬質プラスチック製マウスピースを製作した。   While the dental model was mounted on the articulator, the crown part was rotated and moved for each correction, and the corrected dental model was adjusted. With the dentition model adjusted for each orthodontic attached to the articulator (see Fig. 3), 3D data is collected with a laser 3D reader (trade name Roland 3D Laser Scanner LPX-250). Saved to computer. Based on the three-dimensional data stored in these personal computers, a hard plastic block was engraved using a three-dimensional engraving machine (trade name: Roland EGX-300), and a mother model of a dentition model was produced. Following this mother model, a hard plastic mouthpiece (manufactured by ELCOJUR) having a thickness of 0.5 to 1.5 mm was heat-pressed at 100 to 120 ° C. to produce a hard plastic mouthpiece.

得られた硬質プラスチック製マウスピースを用いて一矯正治療当たりの期間を1〜2週間とし患者に装着し、歯列矯正治療を行った。装着した当初は歯冠部より0.5mm浮いていたが、2〜3日後に歯冠部にフィットした。40週間掛けて歯列矯正治療を行った結果、歯列並びに咬合状態は良好に矯正治療できた。   Using the obtained hard plastic mouthpiece, the period per orthodontic treatment was set to 1 to 2 weeks, and the orthodontic treatment was performed on the patient. Although it was 0.5 mm above the crown at the beginning of wearing, it was fitted to the crown 2 to 3 days later. As a result of performing orthodontic treatment over 40 weeks, the orthodontic treatment and the occlusal state were successfully performed.

12歳の患者に対し、シリコーン樹脂印象材(商品名エクザハイフレックス)を用いて、歯列及び口腔の印象をとった。この印象型に石膏を注入して歯列模型を製作し、これから歯冠部を削合した。次いで、各歯冠部に歯科技工用ドリルを用いてピンホールを掘り、これにダウエル型歯科技工用ピン(径0.25mm、長さ20mm、内歯冠部へ5mm埋め込み)を接着剤にて装着した。次いで歯冠部を印象型に戻して収納し、植立したピン部を歯槽部として蝋(商品名クエストピュアパラフィンワックス)を用いて作成し、この背部に石膏を用いて矯正治療前の歯列模型を作成した。この上下の歯列模型を咬合器に装着し矯正治療前の咬合状態を再現した。次いで、歯槽部の蝋を60〜80℃の温水にて軟化した状態で、歯冠部の回転・移動を(具体的には一矯正治療回につき0.3〜0.5mmで、合計1.2〜1.5mm移動)行い、最終矯正治療目標の歯列模型を調整した。総矯正治療回数を40回とした。   A 12-year-old patient was given an impression of the dentition and oral cavity using a silicone resin impression material (trade name Exa High Flex). Gypsum was poured into this impression mold to produce a dentition model, and the crown was then cut. Next, pinholes are dug in each crown using a dental laboratory drill, and dowel-type dental laboratory pins (diameter 0.25 mm, length 20 mm, embedded 5 mm in the inner crown) are bonded with an adhesive. Installed. Next, the crown part is returned to the impression type and stored, and the planted pin part is created using wax (trade name Quest Pure Paraffin Wax) as the alveolar part, and the dental dentition before the orthodontic treatment using plaster on the back part A model was created. The upper and lower dentition models were attached to an articulator to reproduce the occlusal state before orthodontic treatment. Next, with the wax in the alveolar part softened with warm water of 60 to 80 ° C., the rotation and movement of the crown part (specifically, 0.3 to 0.5 mm per orthodontic treatment, a total of 1. 2 to 1.5 mm), and the dental model of the final orthodontic treatment target was adjusted. The total number of orthodontic treatments was 40.

歯列模型を咬合器に装着したまま、矯正毎の歯冠部の回転・移動を行い、矯正後の歯列模型を調整した。矯正毎に調整した歯列模型を咬合器に装着したままの状態で(図3参照)、印象材を用いて印象型を製作した。この印象型に石膏(商品名PDR硬石膏)を注入して歯列模型の母模型を製作した。この母模型に倣って0.5〜1.5mm厚の硬質プラスチック板(商品名エルコジュール)を100〜120℃で加熱圧着して硬質プラスチック製マウスピースを製作した。   While the dental model was mounted on the articulator, the crown part was rotated and moved for each correction, and the corrected dental model was adjusted. An impression mold was made using an impression material while the dentition model adjusted for each correction was still attached to the articulator (see FIG. 3). Gypsum (trade name PDR hard plaster) was injected into this impression mold to produce a mother model of a dentition model. Following this mother model, a hard plastic mouthpiece (manufactured by ELCOJUR) having a thickness of 0.5 to 1.5 mm was heat-pressed at 100 to 120 ° C. to produce a hard plastic mouthpiece.

得られた硬質プラスチック製マウスピースを用いて一矯正治療当たりの期間を1〜2週間とし患者に装着し、歯列矯正治療を行った。装着した当初は歯冠部より0.5mm浮いていたが、2,3日後に歯冠部にフィットした。40週間掛けて歯列矯正治療を行った結果、歯列並びに咬合状態は良好に矯正治療できた。   Using the obtained hard plastic mouthpiece, the period per orthodontic treatment was set to 1 to 2 weeks, and the orthodontic treatment was performed on the patient. At first, it was 0.5 mm above the crown, but after a few days it was fitted to the crown. As a result of performing orthodontic treatment over 40 weeks, the orthodontic treatment and the occlusal state were successfully performed.
