Description

2in1 orthodontic appliance {Apparatus for 2in1 type orthodontic treatment}

The present invention relates to an orthodontic device, and more particularly, to an orthodontic device used for rapid orthodontic surgery.

For modern people, appearance, especially impression, acts as a criterion for judging people during job interviews and admissions, and it is a very important factor in social life. It is a factor that influences overall. Accordingly, in recent years, orthodontic surgery for the improvement of teeth, dentition, or facial skeleton along with surgical plastic surgery is prevalent.

Orthodontics is a concept that includes corrective orthodontic treatment, such as narrow orthodontic treatment, which straightens crooked teeth. It corrects various skeletal inconsistencies that can occur during the growth process so that it can function normally. By contributing to healthy oral tissues, it can further create a beautiful face image by beautiful face lines.

Orthodontics can be divided into orthodontic treatment, which improves the false teeth such as malocclusion through progressive movement of the orthodontics, and orthodontic surgery, which gives a skeletal improvement by performing a surgical operation on the jaw bone.

In some cases, the abnormality of upper and lower teeth engagement or facial skeletal structure is so severe that it cannot be cured by orthodontic surgery alone.In this case, orthodontics is used to correct the abnormality of the facial skeleton itself with surgery to make a functional and esthetic face. Surgery may be applied in conjunction with orthodontics.

Orthodontic surgery can be largely divided into labial or lingual correction, which is a correction method to perform orthodontics by attaching orthodontic instruments used for orthodontic treatment to the surface of the lip side of teeth. It is a correction method to perform orthodontic by attaching to the surface of the tongue (Lingual) of the surface of the tooth.

Examples of orthodontic appliances include orthodontic wires (generally referred to as 'wire wires') and brackets for supporting the orthodontic wires, which are secured to the labial and / or lingual surfaces of the teeth. Brackets are provided in plural along the arranging direction of the teeth, and are connected by the calibration wires, and transmit the orthodontic force applied from the calibration wires to the teeth.

On the other hand, orthodontic treatment is a lingual traction that is to move the dentition to the lingual lingual dentition, in the case of the tooth protruding in the form of an anterior protrusion of the patient's dentition because the mouth shows an abnormally protruding mouth bulge, The lingual traction described above is presented as one method for this protruding mouth correction.

The mouth of a normal person coincides with the line connecting the tip of the nose with the tip of the nose as shown in (a) of FIG. 1 and the upper lip is located slightly inside of the line. Protruding mouth refers to a form in which the mouth is out of the line connecting the tip of the nose and the chin as shown in FIG. 1 (b), and is generally due to the above-described tooth protrusion or gum protrusion (skeletal protrusion).

Tooth extrusion is a type of malocclusion with an anterior inclination that protrudes relatively excessively forward compared to the distal root of the crown as the gum bone grows insufficiently to accommodate the current number of teeth. It is difficult to shut down and can adversely affect the overall impression.

Orthodontic devices are installed inside the patient's mouth to correct the protruding mouth, but conventionally the tooth is shortened in the process of anterior teeth being pulled backwards or the traction force towing the teeth backwards is not applied properly considering the center of gravity. As a result, the teeth of the anterior part are excessively inclined to the lingual side, which causes severe octopus or the left and right vertical positions of the anterior part are shifted to the lateral direction.

In addition, in the case of the above-described labyrinth correction, since the orthodontic mechanism is mounted on the surface of the lips side of the tooth surface, there is a problem of deteriorating the aesthetics in the calibration process.

In the case of lingual correction, since the orthodontic appliance is attached to the surface of the tongue, there is a problem that the pronunciation of the patient is incorrect.

On the other hand, the protruding mouth may be classified into a bilveolar protrusion in which the tooth head is extended, and a bimaxillary protrusion in which both the crown and the root are forward. Dental prosthesis can produce good results by sending the head back, so that only good orthodontic treatment with small molar teeth can be obtained. On the other hand, in case of alveolar bone protrusion that is relatively frequent to Koreans, it is necessary to move the roots as well as the rear of the teeth to have a good look.

In traditional orthodontic treatments, the ability to apply orthodontic force only to the tooth head prevents tooth roots from moving backward or even forward due to uncontrolled tooth rotation, resulting in severely shortened tooth roots or worsening appearance. there was.

The present invention is to solve the problem to provide a corrective device that can safely move to the rear as well as the tooth head in the alveolar bone protrusion.

In addition, in the process of pulling the anterior teeth backward, the root is shortened or the traction force pulling the teeth backward is not properly applied in consideration of the center of gravity, so that the teeth of the anterior teeth are excessively inclined to the lingual side, resulting in severe octopus or left and right sides of the anterior teeth. An object of the present invention is to provide a calibration apparatus capable of preventing a problem in which a phenomenon in which the vertical position is shifted and inclined in the lateral direction occurs.

In addition, an object of the present invention is to solve the problem of providing a correction apparatus capable of preventing pronunciation from being incorrect while at the same time performing lingual and lateral correction.

It may be provided to include a fixing member (40, 50, 60) and the second wire (30) connecting the second fixing member (40, 50, 60).

In addition, a third wire 80 protruding toward an upper surface between the second fixing member 70 and the third fixing member 40, 50, and 60 and having a hook at one end thereof may be provided.

One end is connected to the hook provided on one end of the third wire (80), the other end is a corrective elastic rubber for connection to the fixing miniscrew 100 is disposed on the same latitude as the third wire (80) 90 may further include.

At least one first fixing member 10 may be provided to be soldered to the first wire 20,

In order for the first fixing members 10 to have relative movement on the first wire 20, the first wire 20 may be accommodated in an insertion part provided in the first fixing member 10.

The use varies depending on the condition of the patient. When the alignment of the patient's anterior part TP is required, the first fixing members 10 receive the first wire 20 to receive orthodontic force. It can be provided to have a relative movement on the first wire 20,

If the alignment of the anterior portion TP of the patient is not necessary, and only an orthodontic force for pulling the patient's anterior portion TP to the lingual side is needed, the first fixing members 10 and the first wire ( 20) Soldering can make the device more robust.

On the other hand, the second fixing member 70 may be disposed on the forward side surface of at least one of the anterior teeth (TP) in order to provide a traction force to pull the anterior teeth (TP) into the oral cavity.

More preferably, the second fixing member 70 may be disposed on the forward side surface of the canine located at the far end of the anterior portion TP.

Because of this, like a conventional lingual orthodontic device, there is no need to have a fixing screw and an elastic body in the ceiling of the mouth,

When using the calibration device according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to arrange the calibration device on the forward side of the anterior portion (TP).

Conventional lingual braces because the fixing screw and the elastic body is provided on the ceiling, causing inconvenience to the patient during the procedure, while the fixing screw and elastics placed on the ceiling interfere with the movement of the tongue pronunciation There was a problem causing disability.

Also, in general, when a person speaks or breaths, the anterior anterior part of the jaw is revealed more than the anterior anterior part of the mandible.

If the fixing member and the wire is installed on the forward side of the maxillary anterior part TP like the conventional orthodontic device, there is a problem of harming the aesthetics of the patient equipped with the orthodontic device.

However, when using the calibration device according to an embodiment of the present invention as described above,

Therefore, by installing the orthodontic device on the lingual side of the anterior teeth (TP) of the maxilla, even if the patient undergoes orthodontic treatment, there is no fear of harming the aesthetics, thereby improving the satisfaction,

Since the corrective device for interfering with the movement of the tongue is disposed on the forward side, there is an effect that can prevent the phenomenon of pronunciation disorder of the patient.

Orthodontic elastic rubber 90 according to an embodiment of the present invention is one end is connected to the hook provided at one end of the third wire 80, the other end is disposed on the same latitude as the third wire (80) It may be provided to be connected to the fixing miniscrew 100,

The end of the hook of the third wire 80 and the fixing miniscrew 100 may be designed to have a first height h in the root direction from the maxillary mid incisal cutting plane.

More specifically, the first height h may be 13 mm to 14 mm.

In this regard, the description of the resistance center of the tooth should be preceded.

Orthodontic device according to an embodiment of the present invention can be orthodontic force (orthodontic force) to be located in the center of resistance of the teeth to move.

The center of resistance is a similar concept to the center of mess, but a distinct concept is used because teeth are constrained through the periodontal ligament in the alveolar bone.

When the force centers the resistance center of the tooth group to be moved, the tooth group can move in parallel, so that the root and the head of the tooth move together.

On the other hand, the calibration device according to an embodiment of the present invention to be installed in the mandible may be installed on both the forward side of the mandible.

As described above, the mandibular anterior part (TP) is not exposed to the outside and does not impair the aesthetics of the patient, and at the same time, if the correction device is installed on the lower lingual side, it interferes with the movement of the tongue and causes pronunciation disorder. There is an effect that can be prevented.

Therefore, in summary, the orthodontic device according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with a correction device on the lingual side in the case of the anterior teeth (TP) of the upper jaw, a correction device is installed on the labial side in the case of the maxillary molar (TR), the mandible In both cases can be achieved so-called 2in1 calibration is provided so that the calibration device is installed on the forward side.

Accordingly, it is possible to provide a correction apparatus capable of alleviating all the aesthetics, speech impairment, and pain of a patient, which have been a problem in the related art.

In addition, in the orthodontic device according to another embodiment of the present invention, in the case of the maxillary anterior part (TP), a correction device is installed on the lingual side, and in the case of the maxillary molar (TR), a correction device is installed on the labial side, In the case of the upper jaw, as in the case of the upper jaw (TP), the correction device is installed on the lingual side, and the lower jaw (TR) may be provided so that the correction device is installed on the forward side.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the location of the center of resistance of the tooth. Referring to this, the center of resistance of the maxillary 6 anterior tooth (TP) is 13.5 mm from the maxillary mid incisal cutting plane (about 9.0 mm from the calibration device) and 14.0 mm posteriorly. Located.

In FIG. 2, points A and B indicate resistance center positions. A point is a resistance center of 4 prepositions, and a B point is a resistance center of 6 positions.

Therefore, if the end of the hook and the fixing miniscrew 100 of the third wire 80 is installed at the point of 13mm to 14mm in the root direction from the maxillary mid incisal cutting surface,

The line of force of the orthodontic force passes through the center of resistance of 4 and 6 anterior teeth, so that the moment is not generated in the anterior part TP, parallel movement is possible, and the inner part of the anterior part TP without the possibility of octopus Towing.

In addition, the front lingual tipping moment can be effectively prevented. More specifically, the line of action of the corrective force passes through the center of resistance, and the corrective elastic rubber 90 is fixed to the fixed miniscrew 100. When connected,

The force transmitted to the second wire 30 parallel to the palatal surface and the third wire 80 provided in the vertical direction generates a force in the direction of opening from the palatal surface,

Rather, the incisor generates a counter lingual tipping moment.

The generation of these moments has the effect that the front teeth can be safely towed to the desired position without falling.

Figure 5 shows another embodiment of the calibration device of the present invention disposed in the posterior part.

The third fixing member 40, 50, 60 of the calibration device according to another embodiment of the present invention can be modified as shown in Figure 5 (a) and (b) as needed.

Thereafter, the 3-1st fixing member 71 may be fixed with the 2-1st wire 73 so as to be connected to the second fixing member 70.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the entire posterior portion is fixed to one rigid body than when the third fixing members 40, 50, and 60 are installed independently of each posterior portion TR. When it is done, there is an effect that can be more traction the anterior portion (TP).

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5B, the third fixing members 40 and 50 may be installed only on some teeth of the posterior teeth TR, and the installed third fixing members 40 and 50 may be described above. As shown in FIG. 5A, the third fixing members 40 and 50 may be provided to be soldered to one 3-1 fixing member 71, and the 3-1 fixing member 71 may be provided. May be fixed to the second-first wire 73 to be connected to the second fixing member 70.

This is an orthodontic device that can be used when the traction force applied to the anterior part (TP) is small according to the condition of the patient, and prevents the unnecessary fixing member from being attached to the patient's teeth, thereby making it possible to achieve more compact orthodontic treatment. have.
