Description

  The present invention relates to medicine, particularly orthodontics, and can be used to coat orthodontic brackets. Its purpose is to protect the bracket itself and the inside of the cheek and lips, as well as to improve aesthetics.

  Known as an aesthetic guard for covering the oral vestibular bracket device during orthodontic treatment, there is a plastic lip guard with a groove to wrap around the arc portion of the bracket. Two nylon threads pass through the inside of this lip guard, the top and bottom of the bracket, and dental rubber is used on the outside. The lip guard itself is made so that the teeth are in an anatomically correct position and the bracket is completely covered (Patent Document 1).

  The disadvantages of this known product are its narrow coverage, effectiveness and safety, manufacturing time, manufacturing effort, price, and difficulty in wearing by the patient himself under the conditions of outpatient treatment. And so on. This is due to the fact that this product is manufactured as a special item for a specific individual, and requires a specially licensed environment and specialized technicians to manufacture and use.

  Also, this product cannot be quickly removed, installed or replaced under outpatient treatment conditions. Furthermore, it is assumed that it will be worn for a long time, and it is difficult to quickly and repeatedly replace it. Moreover, due to the structural features, even if it is accidentally damaged, it cannot be quickly replaced with another similar product.

  In addition, the color and shape cannot be faithfully reproduced while keeping the surface of the dentition smooth. The problem is that this product is a lip guard made based on anatomically correct tooth positions. Therefore, the thickness of the dentition generally increases, and some patients feel irritation on the inside of the cheeks and the surface of the lips during conversation and food chewing. On the other hand, it is not uncommon for mechanical stimulation to the oral mucosa to occur frequently and over a long period of time, and as a result, in some people, caking occurs in the oral cavity (Non-patent Document 1).

  In addition, it cannot be used when there is caries, gingivitis, or stomatitis. The reason for this is that the structure of the product causes considerable irritation to the oral mucosa, which can lead to the development of ulcers and infections, and it is difficult to access the affected teeth.

  A thin and beautiful plate-like product having a thickness of 0.3 mm, known as Lumineers, is also known. It is made of ceramic or zirconia of the same color as the teeth and does not change color during use. Manufacture is performed by taking the selected tooth mold one by one (see Non-Patent Document 2 on the Internet).

  The disadvantages of this known product are its narrow coverage, effectiveness and safety, manufacturing time, manufacturing effort, price, and inability to be worn by the patient under hospital care conditions It is a thing. The reason for this is that this product is manufactured from a single tooth mold as a dedicated item for a specific individual, and a special engineer must be added to the manufacturing. It is also necessary to have a specially licensed environment.

  Further, the color and shape of each tooth cannot be faithfully reproduced while keeping the surface of the entire dentition smooth, and it cannot be used for a dentition equipped with a bracket. For this reason, with this product, the bracket cannot be covered with a protective film, and it is impossible to prevent damage to the bracket due to hard food and damage to the mucous membrane inside the lips and cheeks due to the bracket. For this reason, some patients may feel irritation on the inside of the cheek or the surface of the lips, and the bracket may be damaged when chewing hard food or tablets. On the other hand, it is not uncommon for irritation to the oral mucosa to occur repeatedly or over a long period of time. As a result, in some patients, cauterization may occur inside the lips and cheeks.

  In addition to this, it cannot be used if there is caries, gingivitis, or stomatitis due to the structure of the product. The reason for this is that it is difficult to access the affected teeth, and the thickness of the teeth increases, causing inflammation of the caries and oral mucosa, and further, ulceration occurs in the mucous membrane inside the lips and cheeks It is because it is made to do.

  In addition, because of the structure of the product, it cannot be quickly installed in daily life, cannot be quickly removed and replaced with another similar product, and cannot be reused after being disassembled. In addition, because it is made of a hard and non-edible material, if it is accidentally peeled off from the tooth, or if it is partially missing, depending on the person, the entire product and / or a fragment of the lip may be used when chewing. May hurt. Apart from this, the detached part may enter the esophageal diverticulum or appendix. In these cases, there is a risk of causing caries, esophagitis, and appendicitis, respectively.

  There is also known a product that complements a missing portion of a dentition when a patient with a missing tooth is treated by a bracket orthodontic apparatus. This is a denture with a bracket attached, and two steel pins are soldered to the base layer of the bracket. The position of the bracket itself is on the oral vestibule side of the denture. The steel pin penetrates the denture in the direction of the buccal tongue, and the tip is rounded on the oral cavity side and is contained in a funnel formed on the oral cavity surface of the denture (Patent Document 2).

  The disadvantages of this known product are its narrow coverage, effectiveness and safety, time required for manufacturing, size of manufacturing effort, price, and difficulty in wearing by the patient himself under the conditions of outpatient treatment. And so on. This is due to the fact that this product is manufactured as a personalized item for each individual tooth of an individual patient, which requires a specially licensed environment, Engineers, special equipment and technology must be prepared.

  Further, it is impossible to faithfully reproduce the color and shape of the corresponding tooth while keeping the entire visible surface of the selected dentition smooth. Moreover, since the mounted bracket remains bare, some patients may feel irritation on the inside of the cheek or the surface of the lips when talking or chewing food. On the other hand, it is not uncommon for the oral mucosa to be frequently stimulated by the bracket over a long period of time. As a result, in some people, the inside of the cheek or the lips may be hardened. For this reason, it is not applicable when there is gingivitis or stomatitis.

  In addition, this product does not allow the bracket to be covered with a protective layer, so that it can damage the bracket when chewing hard food or tablets.

  Also, because of its structure, this product cannot be quickly installed in daily life, quickly removed and replaced with other similar products, and cannot be reused after disassembly. . In addition, because it is made of a hard and non-feedable material, it may damage the hard and soft tissues in the oral cavity if it is accidentally damaged, and if swallowed, the esophageal mucosa is damaged, May cause esophageal and stomach bleeding.

  Also known are aesthetic seals for nails, which are drawn with a base layer printed with a pattern, a light reflecting layer printed on the top surface of the base layer and a metallic printing paint or a shining substance like a jewel The light is formed by the printing method on the thick decorative part with the printed pattern and the part where the light reflecting layer (this layer contains metal thin film and / or metal powder) on the upper surface of the base material layer is applied. It consists of a transparent coating that allows light to pass through the reflective layer, and a thick layer that is applied and adhered to the coating. Moreover, the layer which fixes a reflector may be provided between the light reflection layer and the base material layer. The thick layer can be convex so that the light gathers in the reflective layer, and the thick layer can be formed using silkscreen printing techniques on the lower surface of the substrate layer An adhesive layer and an anti-sticking film covering it can also be provided (Patent Document 3).

  The disadvantages of this known product are its narrow scope of application, low effectiveness and safety, the time required for manufacturing, the size of the manufacturing effort, the price, etc. This is due to the fact that the product is not intended for dentistry, is manufactured as a personal exclusive item, must be accompanied by specialized engineers, and has a special licensed environment, equipment and It is necessary to have the same technology.

  Also, because of its structure, this product cannot be quickly removed and replaced with other similar products in daily life. Furthermore, it is also intended for long-term use.

  This product is not premised on the dental application of covering the dentition with the bracket attached, so the color and shape of the corresponding hard and soft tissues inside the jaw while keeping the dentition surface smooth. It cannot be reproduced faithfully. In addition, because the brackets remain exposed, some patients may feel irritation on the inside of the cheeks and the surface of the lips when talking or chewing food, resulting in caking on the inside of the lips or cheeks In some cases.

  In addition, this product cannot be quickly installed in daily life, cannot be quickly removed and replaced with another similar product, and cannot be reused after being disassembled.

  Aesthetic seals with a design area based on paper or polymer are also known, but this is a shading stencil sheet in which the outline of some form or symbol is hollowed out. This shading stencil sheet is adhesive on one side so that users who try to sunburn can stick it on their favorite places, sunbathe for a time within the medical standard, or enter a solarium. The desired design can be obtained in the form that it remains white on the skin when it is peeled off (Patent Document 4).

  The disadvantages of this product are its narrow coverage, effectiveness and low safety. The reason for this is that the product is not intended for dentistry and can only hide the surface of the specific part selected. Therefore, it is impossible to faithfully reproduce the color and shape while keeping the entire visible surface of the entire dentition smooth. Moreover, it cannot be used for a dentition equipped with a bracket, and the bracket cannot be covered with a protective film. Therefore, damage to the bracket due to hard food and damage to the mucous membrane due to the bracket cannot be prevented. For this reason, some patients may feel irritation on the inside of the cheeks or the surface of the lips when talking or chewing food. On the other hand, it is not uncommon for the oral mucosa to be frequently stimulated by the bracket over a long period of time, and as a result, caking may occur on the inside of the cheek or on the lips.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to realize the expansion of the scope of application, the improvement of the effect and safety, the speed of production, the improvement of portability, and the ease of wearing by the patient himself under the condition of outpatient treatment. It is manufactured in a rolled form with a material that can be eaten, and on one side of it, the visible front part of one of the upper and lower dentitions is in full size. The image reproduced in is visible through, the image is drawn repeatedly and continuously, and the tape can be cut in the width direction between the adjacent dentition images as a cut line This is realized by providing a perforation.

  The effects of the present invention are that both the bracket and the oral mucosa can be protected, that the inside of the cheek and the lip can be prevented, that it can be used alone in daily life, and that the aesthetics are improved.

  It was devised this time with an adhesive layer covered with an anti-stick film on the bottom, a base material layer with a colored image that does not change color during use, and a transparent coating layer on the top Furthermore, it is a thin and beautiful esthetic seal for wearing an orthodontic bracket in the form of a sheet for an oral vestibule, made of an ingestible material, and has a tape shape with a thickness of 10 to 20 μm and a width of 9 to 12 mm. The base material layer is opaque and is sandwiched between the adhesive layer and the transparent coating layer, and a panoramic 3D image that reproduces the entire visible front part of the upper and lower dentitions in a healthy state at full size. A perforation as a tear line is provided between the adjacent dentition images so that the tape can be cut in the width direction. Hard inside It allows for a secure bond between woven and soft tissue, and the image drawn on the tape-like seal is either the upper dent alone, the lower dentition alone, or the alternating repeat of the upper and lower dentitions. The key point is to have a rolled shape.

  In the device proposed here, high safety was ensured by making the seal material ingestible. The reason is that this material does not harm human digestive organs and health, even if accidentally swallowed. When chewing hard and / or low-quality foods, some people damage pre-installed dental structures, such as brackets and adhesive tape, and swallow some or all of them without their knowledge. It often happens. By making the material of the entire product ingestible, the same safety as food is guaranteed.

  This tape-shaped aesthetic seal with a thickness of 10 to 20 μm (0.01 to 0.02 mm) and a width of 9 to 12 mm is lightweight and convenient to carry, and anyone can attach it to the dentition very easily and reliably. It can be used quickly and is highly effective. The height of the dentition is actually not constant, there are considerable irregularities, and the highest visible portion of the tooth is the canine and / or incisor, which is the largest in adults It does not exceed 9mm. Therefore, if it is a tape-shaped seal having a thickness of 10 to 20 μm (0.01 to 0.02 mm) and a width of 9 to 12 mm as described above, the height of the visible portion of the incisor and / or canine is the largest. Even in the case of a person, it is possible to cover the whole of the visible surface of the dentition with the bracket attached thereto without any gaps. In this case, if the thickness is less than 0.01 mm, sufficient strength cannot be obtained, and the layered structure necessary for the tape, that is, the adhesive layer, the base material layer, the image colorant, and the transparent layer must be contained. Becomes difficult. On the other hand, if the thickness exceeds 0.02 mm, the safety of the tape cannot be ensured, the unevenness of the bracket mounting dentition is uneven, and the interdental papillary gingiva and tooth surface can be easily and tightly fitted. It becomes difficult to paste. However, if the thickness is within the range of 0.01 to 0.02 mm, under the conditions of outpatient treatment, the aesthetic seal can be individually rolled or wound inside, according to the occlusal surface of the tooth, It can be done quickly and easily. On the other hand, when the thickness exceeds 0.02 mm, the elasticity of the tape increases and the strength increases too much, which stimulates the mucous membrane inside the lips and cheeks.

  As for the width of the tape, if this is less than 9 mm, the visible surface of the tooth will not be completely covered to its highest point. If the tape width is between 9 and 12 mm, the entire visible surface of all upper and lower teeth should be completely covered, even if the teeth are small, medium and even the largest. Can do. With such a tape, it can be adhered to the entire surface of either the upper or lower dentition and firmly attached to the surface of the hard or soft tissue. At this time, the portion protruding from the teeth of the tape can be easily rounded to the occlusal surface side, wound around the teeth, and then attached to the back surface thereof. However, if the width exceeds 12 mm, if the height of the teeth is not so high, it may be difficult for some people to apply the tape to the bracket mounting dentition and then apply the tape.

  The coating layer on the front side of the tape is colorless and transparent, and the original color of the panoramic 3D image depicting the front surface of the dentition seen through the layer is maintained. For this reason, the shape of the dentition is reproduced three-dimensionally with high quality, and the aesthetic effect is enhanced.

  An opaque base material layer is sandwiched between an adhesive layer and a colorless transparent layer, the base material layer is covered with a transparent layer, or a healthy dental dentition A panoramic 3D image that reproduces the entire front surface of the image in full scale is repeatedly drawn in a form that covers the entire surface of the base material layer, resulting in a high aesthetic effect. What is important here is that the orthodontic bracket does not show through the aesthetic seal thanks to the opaque base layer, and the bracket is completely hidden from view when viewed from the outside. Since the base material layer is sandwiched between the adhesive layer and the transparent coating, a panoramic 3D image that reproduces the visible front of the dentition after the aesthetic seal is adhered to the surface of the orthodontic bracket is certain. See through. It is highly aesthetically pleasing that panoramic 3D images, which are full-scale reproductions of the entire visible front of the dentition in either the upper or lower dentition, are continuously drawn and cover the entire surface of the base material layer. Guarantees the effect. This is because the shape of the dentition can be reproduced three-dimensionally.

  In addition to advanced aesthetics, under the conditions of outpatient treatment, a perforation as a cut line is provided between adjacent panoramic 3D images so that the tape can be cut in the width direction. Certainty, accuracy, speed and ease of use by individuals have also been achieved. The reason is that, thanks to these specifications, the tape can be quickly detached with very little force at the “necessary” point.

  In addition, the adhesive layer is provided on the aesthetic seal so that it can be applied to the hard and soft tissues in the oral cavity. Can stay. This is because the aesthetic seal is firmly fixed to the teeth and gums over its entire surface.

  The panoramic 3D image of the dentition in this aesthetic seal has three different versions: only the upper dentition, only the lower dentition, and the upper and lower dentitions. Aesthetics are also improved. This is because the bracket can be hidden by choosing the aesthetic sticker on which the required image is drawn, depending on whether the bracket is attached only to the upper or lower dentition or both. .

  The aesthetic sticker before use has a shape wound around a roll, further expanding the range of application, increasing convenience of storage and carrying, and enabling individuals to use it quickly under hospital treatment conditions. . The reason is that this is a shape widely used for daily goods such as gummed tape and insulating tape. In other words, if the aesthetic seal is in such a shape, the user can make use of the rich experience in the past using the roll tape. In addition, since an instruction manual dedicated to the aesthetic seal is not required, the price can be further reduced.

  In an initial state before the selected portion is cut off, the orthodontic bracket mounting aesthetic seal 1 has a shape wound in a roll shape 2 before use. Can be affixed to only the row or both top and bottom teeth. The reason is that an appropriate panoramic 3D image 3 is drawn on the seal, and adjacent images are separated by perforations 4 as cut lines running in the width direction (FIGS. 1 and 3). .

  The aesthetic seal is in the form of a tape having a transparent coating 5 on the top, an opaque base material layer 6 for coating, and an adhesive layer 7 on the last (FIG. 2).

  A panoramic 3D image of the appropriate dentition is depicted in one segment of the aesthetic seal that is unrolled from the roll, cut off and affixed to the orthodontic bracket mounting dentition (FIG. 3).

  An aesthetic seal for wearing an orthodontic bracket in a state of being affixed to the upper dentition (FIG. 4).

  Use this product as follows:

  Patients who have been examined by the dentist and who have attached and fixed the orthodontic brackets for the upper and / or lower dentition continue to talk and continue eating without changing the contents of the meal, conversation, and activity. At this time, almost all of the patients will sooner or later have a face-to-face conversation with another person, either once or multiple times. When an orthodontic bracket is attached, some people feel depressed due to the decrease in aesthetics due to this dental treatment, and their facial expressions cannot be felt. In addition, the inner surface of the lips and cheeks may cause discomfort due to stimulation. There are patients who are not feeling well at important times, such as when they appear on television, when taking video or taking pictures for relatives, or when they develop neurosis or similar symptoms, blood pressure increases, Work efficiency may be reduced.

  In order to prevent such problems, go to the pharmacy, purchase and purchase the aesthetic seal for orthodontic brackets with a panoramic 3D image depicting either the upper or lower dentition, or the upper and lower dentition, Then, after brushing your teeth on the wash basin, wipe off the moisture in the orthodontic bracket of the corresponding dentition, unwind the aesthetic sticker, cut off the necessary segment, attach it to the corresponding dentition, and align the position. The remaining part of the seal is folded to the back side of the tooth, and the seal is adhered to the entire surface of the hard and soft tissues of the dentition.

  The proposed aesthetic seal for orthodontic bracket mounting is manufactured in the form of a tape wound around a roll made of an ingestible material, and on the front side of the dentition, either the upper or lower dentition in a healthy state A panoramic 3D image that reproduces the full-scale front part of the eye can be seen through, and the image is drawn repeatedly in succession, with the tape in the width direction between the adjacent dentition images By providing perforations as tear lines so that they can be separated, the scope of application is expanded and individuals under conditions of effectiveness, safety, speed, portability, ease of storage, and outpatient treatment The convenience of general use is improved.

  The important thing is to do all the work to handle this product, that is, to see the shape of the three-dimensional dentition on the transparent coating layer from the front side of the tape-like adhesive seal, for either upper or lower dentition Select the aesthetic seal made in, select the segment from the tape, cut it off, glue it to the dentition, adjust its position on the gingiva and teeth, the rest of the part used for tooth chewing The user always does it himself, such as putting it on top or, if necessary, folding it onto the back of the tooth.

  If you use this orthodontic bracket aesthetic sticker, it will be manufactured in a tape shape with an ingestible material, and the front side will have a visible front part of either the upper or lower dentition in a healthy state. The full-scale panoramic 3D image can be seen through, and the images are drawn repeatedly and continuously so that the tape can be cut in the width direction between the adjacent dentition images. The perforation as a line expands the scope of application, improving the effectiveness, safety, speed, portability, ease of storage, and convenience for personal use under hospital treatment conditions Can be made. The tape is wound around a roll.
