The fixed magnet portion 20 is fixed to the inner surface of the orthodontic portion 10 by paste or the like. And, the magnetic body constituting the fixed magnet portion 20 is preferably composed of neodymium (NdFeB) magnet. Neodymium (NdFeB) magnets are molded and sintered products based on rare earth elements called neodymium, iron oxide, and boron (B). Often used in products. The price is relatively cheaper than that of samarium (SmCo) magnets.

In addition, the neodymium magnet is very toxic and can be ignored as a whole. The magnetic field caused by the neodymium magnet is known to have no effect on human tissue.

In the case of installing neodymium magnets, human saliva acts as an electrolyte to generate a microcurrent, which acts as a positive tissue stimulator to remodel the alveolar bone or upper and lower jaw bone. In addition, the pulsating electromagnetic field generated by the magnetism increases the blood flow and promotes bone metabolism, thereby facilitating the movement of the mandible.

The orthodontic fixing part 10 provided at a position corresponding to the fixed magnet part 20 is provided with a position adjusting part 30. The position adjusting portion 30 is also fixed to the inner surface of the orthodontic fixing portion 10 by a paste or the like.

In addition, the position adjusting unit 30 may be composed of a magnet or a metal affected by magnetic force. Therefore, the position adjusting portion 30 and the fixed magnet portion 20 may be coupled to each other by the attraction force to project the lower mandible introduced backward.

The upper surface of the adjusting screw 35 may be formed with a ratchet connecting groove 37 to which a ratchet can be connected. By connecting the ratchet to the ratchet connection groove 37 can adjust the protruding direction of the adjustment screw (35).

Hereinafter, the operation of the first embodiment of the mandibular position correction apparatus using the magnetic force according to the present invention having the configuration as described above will be described in detail.

The orthodontic fixing portion 10 formed to correspond to the teeth of the upper and lower jaw is fixed to the teeth. The orthodontic fixing portion 10 is formed so as to correspond to the orthodontic, it is fixed without being easily separated from the teeth.

When the user locks his mouth in a state where the orthodontic fixing part 10 is fixed to the teeth, the position adjusting part 30 located in the maxilla is coupled to the stator magnet part 20 located in the mandible by magnetic force. At this time, since the position of the stator magnet portion 20 is coupled by the position adjusting unit 30 to protrude forward, the position of the lower jaw of the user is closed in the state protruding forward than the original position.

Therefore, when the user sleeps or lives in the state in which the user wears the corrective device, the lower jaw can be kept in a protruding state in the closed state of the mouth so that the position of the lower jaw can be gradually corrected. Then, when the user opens the mouth, the position adjustment unit 30 and the stationary magnet 20 is naturally separated so that the user can eat or talk.

When the position of the lower jaw is corrected by the present calibration device, the adjusting screw 35 of the position adjusting unit 30 is again protruded to continuously correct the position of the lower jaw.

On the contrary, in order to retract the position of the mandible, the mandible can be drawn backward by gradually increasing the insertion length of the adjusting screw 35.

5 to 8 show a preferred embodiment of the second embodiment of the mandibular position correction apparatus using the magnetic force according to the present invention.

As shown, the orthodontic fixing portion 10 is formed so as to correspond to the teeth of the upper and lower jaw, the orthodontic fixing portion 10 is the first orthodontic portion 41 and the second orthodontic portion 43, respectively It is provided.

The correcting portions 41 and 43 include a support body 45 which is fixed to the orthodontic fixing part 10 by a paste or the like and is elongated so as to be parallel to the arrangement of the teeth. The support body 45 is upward or downward. Protruding from the support 47 is configured integrally. The support 47 provided in the support body 45 provided in the upper jaw and the support 47 provided in the support body 45 provided in the mandible may be mutually supported at opposite positions to adjust the position of the mandible.

And, any one support 47 provided in the upper or lower jaw is provided with a support panel 49 configured to protrude in the opposite direction of the support 47. The support panel 49 may be connected to the support 47 by a bolt B, and adjust the bolt B to adjust the protruding length of the support panel 49.

The support panel 49 is made of a magnetic material, preferably made of a neodymium (NdFeB) magnet. The support panel 49 and the support 47 provided at positions opposite to the support panel 49 may be mutually coupled by magnetic force to adjust the position of the mandible.

In addition, the orthodontic fixing part 10 may further include a fastener 50 for preventing the orthodontic fixing part 10 from being detached from the tooth. That is, when the orthodontic fixing part 10 is easily detached from the tooth due to the arrangement state and shape of the tooth, etc., the separation of the orthodontic fixing part 10 by fixing the orthodontic fixing part 10 by a separate fastener 50. Can be prevented.

As shown in FIG. 7, the fastener 50 is fixed to the teeth by a paste or the like, and the fastener 50 is inserted into the fastening hole 51 formed in the dental fastener 10 so that the dental fastener ( 10) can be prevented from leaving. The fastener 50 may be made of a magnetic material to fix the dental fixing part 10 by combining with a separate connection metal provided in the dental fixing part 10.

The mandibular position correction device using magnetic force according to the second embodiment also secures the orthodontic appliance 10 to the teeth by using the fastener 50, and when the user shuts his mouth, the first orthodontic appliance 41 and the first 2 correction | amendment part 43 can fix a position of a mandible by mutually engaging by magnetic force.

In addition, the first straightening portion 41 and the second straightening portion 43 may be different from the protruding length of the bolt (B) provided at both ends of the support panel 49 or the thickness of the support panel 49 itself. Alternatively, by changing the shape or the like, not only the front and rear positions of the mandible but also the left and right positions can be corrected.

Wearing the mandibular position correction device configured as described above, it is possible to prevent the snoring phenomenon by securing the passage of the connection point of the nasal cavity and airways by preventing the mandible from retreating backward during sleep.

In addition, since the maxillary and mandibles are completely separated, no inconvenience occurs in food chewing and conversation. In addition, the magnetic force can be adjusted as much as the individual can consider the degree of correction for each individual. In other words, by adjusting the adjustment period of about 4 to 6 weeks using the adjustment screw to find the most suitable position for the user can prevent side effects of the jaw joint disorder.

And, the connection between the maxillary and the mandible is connected only by magnetic force without using any member, so that detachment is easy and management such as cleaning for maintaining cleanness is very easy.

In addition, according to the present calibration device, the mandible protruding forward can be positioned rearward, and the mandible introduced rearward can protrude forward, so that class II malocclusion and class III malocclusion can be corrected.

In addition, since the mandible may be moved left and right by changing the protruding length of the bolt or by changing the shape of the correction device, the mandibular lateral deviation malocclusion may be corrected.

In addition, malocclusion may recur due to growth and development after orthodontic treatment. By regularly using the orthodontic device after orthodontic treatment, recurrence of malocclusion due to growth and development can be prevented.

In addition, according to the present calibration device, the full-arch stabilization occlusal splint can be easily changed into an anterior repositioning occlusal splint without device modification.

The full-arch stabilization occlusal splint is good for maintaining and controlling the position of the teeth, and the occlusal splint for the maxillary occlusal splint is a lateral induction by the canines when the horizontal overjet is severe. It is easy to give, and is more stable than the mandible, mandible is a device that is easy to adapt the pronunciation and has an aesthetic effect. In the anterior part, it is preferable that the pure cotton is not overlaid so that the occlusion of the occlusion after the occlusal splint does not cause relief during sleep. A typical Michigan-type splint reduces muscle hyperactivity, helping to restore the joints to promote healing of the structures in the joint. The entire maxillary tooth is overlaid and the occlusal contact pattern for the mandibular antagonist gives the freedom-in centric so that the mandatory functional cusp is in stable contact at both the habitual lung and the center. Characteristically, all the teeth of the mandible except for the canine are open during anterior and lateral movement, and do not impart an incidence induction separately.

The anterior repositioning occlusal splint is to induce the mandibular to a position different from the habitual lung position, to promote restoration of the mandibular disc and to reduce the load on the posterior disc sensitive to pain. . The displaced articulation disc is used for a short period of time so that it remains intact after repositioning.

The occlusal splint must use a device of a suitable design depending on the purpose of the device. The clinical purpose of using the device is to remove occlusal interference to relax the opening and closing bulbs, to change the occlusal height and to change the position of the mandibular, to restore the position of the condyle, or to restore the displaced joint disc, Correct malocclusion If you experience negative reactions in the treatment of TMD, other treatments may need to be applied, or the choice of devices may be incorrect, or the appropriate device may be selected but the duration of application may be incorrect.

Occlusal stabilizers can be mounted on either the maxilla or the mandible, but are mounted on the maxilla except when the curve of spee is severe or the mandibular teeth are largely lost, and when attached to the mandible, it is easy to invade the tongue space. The full-arch stabilization occlusal splint is the most proven design, and the partial coverage occlusal splint also reduces or eliminates acute joint pain but is only short-term. In many cases, the use of 4 to 6 weeks or more can cause irreversible complications such as tooth extraction or depression depending on the occlusal state. Mandibular splint with two posterior acrylic pads can cause the posterior compression of the posterior part, and anterior bite plane hard acrylic splint can cause open occlusion of the anterior part. Therefore, the case and period of application should be carefully considered and applied only if the effect cannot be achieved by other methods.

Therefore, according to the present calibration device, when changing the occlusal stabilization device in consideration of the application case and the use effect, there is an advantage that can be changed to another occlusal stabilization device without a separate device modification.

In the scope of the basic technical spirit of the present invention, many modifications are possible to those skilled in the art, and the scope of the present invention should be interpreted based on the claims which will be described later. .

According to the mandibular position correction device using the magnetic force according to the present invention as described in detail above has the following advantages.

Since the upper and lower jaws can be selectively fixed by the magnetic force, there is an advantage in that the convenience of use is increased by allowing food mastication and conversation.

And, by gradually adjusting the position of the mandible using the adjusting screw or bolt, it is possible to prevent the symptom of going to the jaw joint by correction, and the position of the mandible is moved to the minimum distance by the characteristics of the magnetic force to reduce the period of correction There is an advantage to this.

In addition, the aesthetic effect is generated by the orthodontic fixing portion of the transparent material, since the calibration device is configured by using a small device such as a magnet, an adjustment screw, there is an advantage that the foreign body feeling in the user's use process is reduced.

And, by adjusting the position of the mandible using this correction device to prevent snoring, and to correct class II and III malocclusion and mandibular lateral deviation malocclusion can treat diseases related to mandibular malocclusion There is an advantage.
