Description

Bracket Block For Manufacturing Customized Orthodontic Bracket, Customized Orthodontic Bracket, And Manufacturing Method Thereof}

The present invention relates to a bracket block for manufacturing an orthodontic bracket, a custom orthodontic bracket set, and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly, a bracket block used for manufacturing a custom orthodontic bracket capable of accurately positioning at a preset position according to an individual tooth condition And it relates to a customized orthodontic bracket set using the same, and a manufacturing method thereof.

In general, non-uniform dentition and malocclusion caused by this may be caused by factors such as dysplasia of the tooth itself, dysplasia of the jaw bone, a habit of sucking fingers or bad eating habits.

People with uneven teeth cover their mouths when talking or laughing, or react passively to interpersonal relationships.Therefore, crooked teeth not only interfere with a smooth social life, but are unable to evenly crush food even when eating Food debris is trapped in the body, which can lead to various oral diseases or diseases of the digestive system.

To solve this problem, orthodontic treatment (orthodontics) that improves dentition through the movement of teeth is being performed, and an example of the orthodontics is a bracket for orthodontic use with dental resin (adhesive) on each surface of the teeth. Orthodontic wire is applied to the teeth by attaching a bracket (orthodontic bracket) and an orthodontic wire to the groove (slot) of the bracket, or a mouthpiece type orthodontic appliance (transparent brace) There is a way to do it.

The orthodontic surgery is a concept including a procedure for correcting irregular teeth, for example, a consensual orthodontic procedure for tidying crooked teeth, and correcting various skeletal incongruities that may occur during the growth process so that normal functions can be achieved By doing so, it contributes to healthy oral tissue, and furthermore, by changing the anatomical structure of the oral cavity, it can make the facial line beautiful and create a beautiful face image.

In addition, there are cases in which treatment is not possible with simple tooth movement due to severe interlocking abnormalities of lower and upper teeth or abnormal jaw structures. The jaw surgery to correct the abnormality of the jaw itself by surgery to create a functional and/or aesthetic face is sometimes applied in parallel with the above-described orthodontic surgery.

The orthodontic surgery may be divided into labial or lingual correction according to the attachment position of the bracket, and the labial orthodontic treatment is performed by attaching brackets to the labial (lip-side surface) and buccal (ball-side surface) of the teeth. It is an orthodontic method, and the lingual correction is an orthodontic method in which orthodontic correction is performed by attaching the bracket to the lingual side of a tooth. The labial orthodontic orthodontic device is referred to as a labial orthodontic device, and the lingual orthodontic orthodontic device is called a lingual orthodontic device.

In the above-described orthodontic surgery, it is very important to position the bracket attached to the tooth surface, that is, the correct positioning of the bracket so that the orthodontic force is correctly transmitted to the teeth. The reason is that the positioning of the bracket has a very profound effect on the results of orthodontics. Therefore, there is a need for a technique of accurately positioning the bracket at a position (preset position) determined in advance by the diagnosis and treatment plan.

Referring to FIG. 1, the correction bracket 10 includes a bracket base 11 and a bracket head 12. The bracket base 11 is a base portion of the bracket and is simply referred to as a base, and the bracket head 12 is also called a slot portion or an upper body.

The base 11 is a portion that is attached to the tooth surface (tooth surface), for example, the lingual or labial surface (including the buccal surface), and the surface attached to the tooth from the base 11 is easily attached to the tooth. After completion of the correction, irregularities may be applied to allow easy removal from the tooth without damaging the surface of the tooth.

In addition, the head 12 is a part that is coupled with the calibration wire, for example, an arch wire, and the head 12 has a slot into which the calibration wire is inserted and a wing 13 for wire ligation. Is formed.

In order to manufacture an orthodontic device with the above-described bracket, an experienced dental technician uniformly arranges a real tooth model that mimics the patient's dental structure on a gingival part molded with dental wax to produce a real setup model. Orthodontics are placed and set up manually, such as placing/adhering commercial brackets, that is, ready-made brackets, and the use of ready-made brackets limits the exact positioning of the brackets, and the amount of movement of teeth through orthodontics. It is also difficult to measure quantitatively.

For the positioning of the bracket, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2006-0020214 discloses an integrated universal bracket attachment device in which the height and angle of the teeth are indicated, but the structure is very complex, so manufacturing is difficult and manufacturing cost is high.

In addition, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2007-0108019 discloses a bracket positioning jig for orthodontics and a manufacturing method thereof, but there is a hassle of removing the jig after fixing the bracket to the tooth surface. Since the process of ordering is not easy and the structure is complicated, the limitations in terms of ease of manufacture and operation, stability and cost are revealed.

Korean Patent Application Publication No. 10-2006-0020214, published on March 6, 2003 Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2007-0108019, published on November 8, 2007

More specifically, the base block 101 is a work piece processed by cutting equipment such as the processing equipment, for example, milling equipment.

The processing equipment processes the base block 101 according to the three-dimensional shape data of the bracket base described above, more specifically, the three-dimensional shape data of the bracket base having a design in which the tooth surface is impressed. As a result, the base block 101 may be molded into a bracket base having an impression of the tooth surface.

For reference, referring to FIGS. 13 and 14, the bracket base 120 forms the base of the orthodontic bracket as described in the background art of the present invention and is attached to the surface of the tooth to support the bracket head. In an embodiment of the invention, since the tooth surface is manufactured in a structure having an impression shape as described above, an orthodontic bracket having a structure suitable for the surface shape of the target tooth (the tooth to which the correction bracket is attached) is implemented. Can be.

In addition, the bracket head 120 is a pre-processing part (a part pre-manufactured before molding of the bracket base) having a straightening wire mounting slot 121, and integrally with the base block 101 to the processing equipment. It is loaded. To this end, the bracket head 120 is a part already manufactured before the base block 101 is processed by the processing equipment according to the three-dimensional shape data of the bracket base, and is integrated with the base block 101. It is equipped.

In this embodiment, orthodontic brackets are designed for individual teeth on a computer, and three-dimensional (3D) shape data is obtained for them, and then input to the above-described processing equipment, more specifically, CNC equipment (for example, data Transmission), it is possible to implement a customized orthodontic bracket for each tooth in a CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) method.

3 to 8, the customized calibration bracket includes a bracket design step (S10) of acquiring 3D shape data of the calibration bracket, especially 3D shape data of a bracket base, and the bracket block 100 and processing equipment described above. For example, it is manufactured through a bracket manufacturing step (S20) of manufacturing a calibration bracket using a CNC milling equipment. That is, the customized orthodontic bracket may be designed/manufactured in the CAD/CAM method described above. This embodiment exemplifies an orthodontic bracket fixed to the outer surface of the tooth, that is, the labial side (including the buccal side), but is not limited thereto, and may naturally be applied to an orthodontic bracket fixed to the lingual side.

The bracket design step S10 is a process of designing an orthodontic bracket for each tooth to which the orthodontic bracket is applied on a computer and obtaining 3D shape data for a plurality of orthodontic brackets.

A specific example of the processing equipment to be performed is CS Mill 5X (Milling Machine, Care Dent Korea).

Since the meaning of the setup model and the technology for obtaining the virtual setup model are already known in the field of dentistry and the field of orthodontic software, an additional description is omitted.

And, after the virtual arrangement of the teeth to be corrected, images of the virtual bracket heads 120a are output on the computer screen based on the 3D shape data of the bracket heads 120 to be applied for each tooth, and in FIGS. 6 and 7 As shown in the illustrated example, virtual bracket heads 120a are disposed on the virtual dentition according to the correction method applied to the patient. In FIG. 6, the lower image is a 3D image showing the process of arranging the bracket heads on the virtual setup model, and the upper image in FIG. 7 is a view showing a state in which the bracket heads are arranged on the virtual setup model, and the lower in FIG. The image is a 3D image obtained by reverting the dentition (TS) according to the virtual setup model to the state of dentition to be corrected (TB).

A commercial product, that is, a ready-made bracket head 120 may be applied to the base block 101 described above, and 3D shape data of the bracket heads 120 may be obtained through a process of 3D scanning a real commercial bracket. The image of the head 120a may be provided as a template.

A bracket base having a shape with an impression of the surface (tooth surface) of the body is created (creating an image of the virtual bracket base), and the design of the correction bracket (BS) can be completed.

In order to obtain the above-described shape data of the bracket base, that is, 3D shape data, when the virtual setup model, that is, the virtual tooth row is all separated from the virtual bracket base 110a by a Boolean, an image of the virtual orthodontic bracket can be obtained. Since the 3D computer design technology itself is well known in the 3D computer design field, an additional description of a specific method of bracket design using a computer is omitted, but the present invention provides a virtual setup model (TS) and a virtual bracket head (120a). By designing the bracket base using the above-described 3D computer design technology using the image of the bracket, the manufacturing process of the bracket can be digitized in the CAD/CAM method, and the calibration bracket of the same structure can be easily remanufactured.
