Description
A wire positioning portion and a tooth straightener having the same are disclosed. More specifically, a wire positioning unit and a tooth brainer provided therewith that can position the wire at least at two points by forming at least both ends of the wire positioning unit in a virtual tube structure can improve the accuracy of tooth correction .
Generally, a non-uniform dental state or non-uniform malocclusion of teeth may cause developmental disorders of the teeth themselves, developmental disorders of the jaw, and the like. People with irregular teeth or malocclusion can have their mouths blocked by their dental state when talking or laughing with others, and can be passive in interpersonal relationships, making it difficult to have a decent social life.
In addition, when food is consumed, food can not be uniformly crushed, and food may be stuck between teeth, resulting in various tooth diseases or digestive system diseases.
To solve this problem, orthodontic techniques for applying a constant force to the teeth and modifying the alveolar bone around the teeth and causing movement of the teeth have been applied.
A conventional general orthodontic appliance to which the orthodontic technique is applied includes a plurality of orthodontic brackets individually attached to the front of each tooth as disclosed in Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0064601, And wires for connecting and fixing them.
In other words, the orthodontic bracket is provided with an insertion hole into which the wire is inserted so that the orthodontic bracket can be bonded to the front of the tooth, and then the wire can be connected to the orthodontic brackets in the oral cavity.
However, in the conventional orthodontic appliance, since the bracket is attached and the wire is fixed, the mounting process is complicated and the pain is caused during the fitting process. Since the bracket is generally made of a metal material, In addition, the inner portion of the tongue or the lips may interfere with the corner portion of the bracket, resulting in injury.
On the other hand, a technique of forming a bracket in the form of a tube similar to the shape of a needle and inserting a wire into a slot of the bracket has been studied and commercialized, but it is not easy to manufacture a tube type bracket having a very thin slot have. It has been difficult to insert and remove the wire to and from the tube-shaped bracket.
An object according to an embodiment of the present invention is to provide a wire positioning unit and wire positioning unit capable of improving the accuracy of tooth correction since the wire positioning unit can form at least both ends in a virtual tube structure, And a tooth calibrator having the same.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a wire positioning unit and a tooth straightener having the wire positioning unit to facilitate the process of correcting teeth by facilitating insertion and removal of wires in the wire positioning unit. .
A tooth calibrator according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a wire for calibrating a tooth; And a wire positioning unit attached to the corresponding one of the teeth by the fixing unit to movably position the wire, wherein the wire positioning unit is spaced apart from the corresponding tooth, And at least two positioning members for virtually connecting the at least two positioning members can have a virtual tube structure.
According to one aspect, the positioning member includes: a fixing portion fixed to the tooth by the fixing portion; And a penetrating portion connected to the fixing portion and through which the wire penetrates, the penetrating portion having an inner space relatively larger than a cross-sectional size of the wire.
According to one aspect, the fixed portion of one positioning member of one of the at least two positioning members and the fixed portion of the other positioning member are interconnected by a connecting portion so that the wire positioning portion can be integrally formed.
According to one aspect, the fixed portion and the penetrating portion are connected, and the end portion of the penetrating portion is curled so as to overlap a portion to which the fixed portion and the penetrating portion are connected, and the wire is connected to the end portion of the penetrating portion, And may be formed by the penetrating portion passing between the portions to which the penetrating portions are connected.
According to one aspect of the present invention, the penetrating portion is made of a material having an elastic force so that the end portion of the penetrating portion and the end portion of the penetrating portion are restored to their original positions after the wire is drawn between the end portions of the penetrating portion and the portion, As shown in FIG.
According to one aspect of the present invention, the penetration portion is formed into a shape memory alloy so that the end portion of the penetration portion and the end portion of the penetration portion are restored to their original positions after the wire is inserted between the end portion of the penetration portion and the portion where the fixed portion and the penetration portion are connected .
According to one aspect, the distance between the at least two positioning members can be adjusted to adjust the orthogonal force of the wire positioning portion with respect to the wire.
According to one aspect, the fixture may be provided with a resin that is flowable and cures at the surface of the tooth.
Meanwhile, a wire positioning unit according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a wire positioning unit attached to a tooth by a fixing unit to position a wire for calibration of a tooth, the wire positioning unit being spaced apart from the corresponding tooth, And at least two positioning members for positioning the two points, wherein the virtual connection of the at least two positioning members can have a virtual tube structure.
According to one aspect, the positioning member includes: a fixing portion fixed to the tooth by the fixing portion; And a penetrating portion connected to the fixing portion and through which the wire penetrates, the penetrating portion having an inner space relatively larger than a cross-sectional size of the wire.
According to one aspect, the fixed portion of one positioning member of one of the at least two positioning members and the fixed portion of the other positioning member may be integrally formed by being interconnected by a connecting portion.
According to one aspect, the fixed portion and the penetrating portion are connected, and the end portion of the penetrating portion is curled so as to overlap a portion to which the fixed portion and the penetrating portion are connected, and the wire is connected to the end portion of the penetrating portion, And can be introduced into the inner space defined by the penetrating portion through a portion where the penetrating portion is connected.
According to one aspect of the present invention, the penetrating portion is made of a material having an elastic force so that the end portion of the penetrating portion and the end portion of the penetrating portion are restored to their original positions after the wire is drawn between the end portions of the penetrating portion and the portion, As shown in FIG.
According to one aspect, the distance between the at least two positioning members can be adjusted to adjust the orthogonal force of the wire positioning portion with respect to the wire.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the positioning of the wire can be performed at at least two points by forming at least both ends in a virtual tube structure so that the accuracy of the orthodontic can be improved.
In addition, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the insertion and removal processes of the wire to and from the wire positioning unit are facilitated, so that the process of correcting the teeth can be performed more easily.
