Abstract

The present invention relates to an orthodontic strip. According to the present invention, the orthodontic strip comprises: a body comprising a horizontal frame and a pair of vertical frames which extends downwards from both end parts of the horizontal frame; a pair of holders coupled to the bottom end part of the pair of vertical frames; a polishing blade of which both end parts thereof are fixed onto the holders; and a handle extending toward at least one side of the holders. Accordingly, as the tooth polishing blade is fixed onto the holder which is coupled to the body, separation of the tooth polishing blade from the body is avoided during the orthodontic treatment. In addition, bending of the body is prevented during the treatment owing to a reinforcing part formed on the body.

Description

Orthodontic Strip}

The present invention relates to a tooth for orthodontic treatment, and more particularly, to a tooth for orthodontic treatment, which comprises a blade for polishing a predetermined portion of a tooth surface and a body for fixing the blade, will be.

Generally, in the orthodontic treatment at the dentist, the tooth surface is changed to secure the space between the teeth.

In this case, the orthodontic strip is mainly used. The conventional orthodontic strip is composed of a tooth polishing blade, a body fixing both ends of the tooth polishing blade, and a handle that can be connected to the body and the dental handpiece.

Such a conventional orthodontic strip has a problem that the tooth polishing blade is joined to the body by spot welding, and the tooth polishing blade is separated from the body during the orthodontic treatment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A tooth for orthodontic treatment according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 3 show a strip for orthodontic treatment according to an embodiment of the present invention.

A tooth for orthodontic treatment according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises:

A body 10 having a transverse frame 12 and a pair of longitudinal frames 14 extending downward from both ends of the transverse frame 12;

A pair of holders (20) coupled to a lower end of the pair of vertical frames (14);

An abrasive blade 30 having both ends fixed to the pair of holders 20; And

And a handle (40) extending laterally to any one of the pair of holders (20).

Referring to FIG. 2, the body 10 includes a horizontal frame 12 and a vertical frame 14. The vertical frame 14 extends downward at both ends of the horizontal frame 12, and the horizontal frame 12 and the vertical frame 14 have a shape of '┏ ┓' as a whole.

That is, the body 10 is formed with a horizontal frame 12 and a vertical frame 14 integrally formed as a whole, and the pair of holders 20 are formed at the lower end of the vertical frame 14 .

The body 10 has a reinforcing portion 16 formed along the transverse frame 12 and the vertical frame 14. The reinforcing portion 16 also has a shape of '┏ ┓' as a whole.

It is preferable that the horizontal frame 12 and the vertical frame 14 constituting the body 10 are made of a metal plate having a predetermined thickness and the reinforcing portion 16 is formed of a plate- It is preferable that the plate material is formed by embossing so as to prevent warping of the plate material.

The holder 20 is positioned between the body 10 and the abrasive blade 30 and fixes the abrasive blade 30 to the body 10.

The holder 20 is integrally formed downwardly from a lower end of the pair of vertical frames 14. When the vertical frames 14 are made of a metal plate having a predetermined thickness The holder 20 is formed by extending the plate material.

The holder 20 is wrapped around the lower end of the abrasive blade 30 so as to surround both sides of the abrasive blade 30 and the abrasive blade 30 is pressed between the holders 20.

That is, the holder 20 is bent in such a manner as to enclose both sides and the lower end face of the abrasive blade 30, so that the three faces of the abrasive blade 30 except for the upper face are in contact with the holder 20, It is possible to prevent deviation.

The holder 20 may be provided with a pressing portion 22 having a predetermined depth on one side or both sides of the holding blade 20 by pressing the polishing blade 30 to prevent the abrasive blade 30 from coming off, (22) can be formed into various shapes according to need, such as points, lines, curves or circles.

The holder 20 can be fixed to the abrasive blade 30 by an adhesive or welding or the like and the abrasive blade 30 is restrained by the holder 20 in three directions.

The abrasive blade 30 is a sheet of metal material having a predetermined thickness and is coated with diamond powder on the outer surface as required.

As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of pores 32 may be formed in the abrasive blade 30 to prevent deformation due to heat caused by friction with a tooth surface.

At both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the abrasive blade 30, a step (not shown) may be formed to prevent the holder 20 from moving in the longitudinal direction while being pressed on the holder 20.

The handle 40 is coupled to one of the pair of holders 20 as a portion connecting the body 10 to which the abrasive blade 30 is fixed to the dental handpiece.

The handle 40 can be formed in various shapes to be combined with a dental handpiece. In an embodiment of the present invention, a plate of a metal material is curled to have a hollow inside.

The handle 40 is integrally extended from the holder 20 in the lateral direction. Specifically, the body 10, the holder 20, and the handle 40 are integrally formed as a single component .

The following effects can be expected in the orthodontic strip according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The toothbrushing blade is not separated from the body 10 during the orthodontic treatment because the abrasive blade 30 is fixed to the holder 20 coupled to the body 10, The grinding blades 30 can be more stably fixed.

The body 10 is made of a metal plate having a predetermined thickness and is provided with a reinforcing portion 16 formed by embossing along the longitudinal center of the plate so that the bending of the body 10 during the orthodontic treatment .

Further, the abrasive blade 30 is formed with a plurality of pores 32 to prevent deformation due to heat generated by friction with the tooth surface.

As described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but may be applied to other types of orthodontic appliances. It will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
