Description

Anterior Orthodontic Appliance And Orthodontic Device Having The Same}

The present invention relates to an anterior orthodontic appliance and a dental appliance having the same, and relates to an anterior orthodontic appliance that connects a plurality of anterior teeth integrally and transmits a correction force to the anterior teeth, and a dental appliance having the same.

For modern people, appearance, especially impression, serves as a criterion for judging people during job interviews or entrance exams, and acts as a very important factor in social life, such as occupying a large proportion in interpersonal relationships. It becomes a factor that influences overall. Accordingly, along with plastic surgery, orthodontic procedures for improving teeth, dentition, or facial skeleton are prevalent.

The orthodontic treatment is a concept that includes an orthodontic treatment in a narrow sense that straightens an irregular dentition, for example, straightening crooked teeth. It contributes to healthy oral tissue, and further changes the anatomical structure of the oral cavity to make the facial line beautiful to create a beautiful facial image.

The orthodontic treatment includes orthodontic treatment to improve malocclusion, such as malocclusion through gradual movement of the dentition, orthodontic treatment to promote or inhibit growth of the facial skeleton during the growing season, and surgical surgery on the facial skeleton, especially the jawbone. It can be divided into orthognathic surgery, etc., which is performed to give skeletal improvement.

In other words, there are cases where abnormalities in the fit of the upper and lower teeth or facial skeletal structure, especially in the jawbone structure, are so severe that treatment is impossible with simple tooth movement. Growth Modification), orthognathic surgery, which makes a functional and/or aesthetic face by surgically correcting the abnormality of the jawbone itself, is applied in parallel with the above-mentioned treatment for skeletal abnormalities of moderate or higher severity even in adults.

The orthodontic treatment can be largely divided into labial correction and lingual correction. The labial correction is performed by attaching an orthodontic appliance used for orthodontic treatment to the lip side surface (outer surface of the tooth) of the tooth surface. The lingual correction is a correction method in which the orthodontic appliance is attached to the lingual surface (inner surface of the tooth) of the surface of the teeth to perform orthodontic correction.

The orthodontic treatment takes a long time depending on the condition of the patient, and various procedures such as improving the crowding of the anterior teeth or gaps between the anterior teeth, improving the protruding mouth, or closing the tooth extraction space or tooth loss space are performed. there is.

On the other hand, during the orthodontic treatment, the correction of moving the teeth (anterior teeth) of the anterior part to the lingual side, for example, to the palatal side, is called lingual traction. Since the phenomenon is seen, the above-described lingual traction is suggested as one method for correcting such a protruding mouth. In addition, even in orthodontic treatment of dense anterior teeth, the anterior teeth spread and are pulled lingually. For the above-described lingual traction, that is, the rearward movement of the anterior teeth, a curved line wire is installed in the oral cavity on the lingual or labial side of the anterior teeth through a wire supporter (bracket) to match the row of teeth of the anterior teeth.

However, when performing the above-mentioned orthodontic treatment, that is, orthodontic treatment, problems such as inclination (fall) of the anterior teeth or vertical position imbalance may occur as the anterior teeth are pulled backward.
