Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a mold type jig for attaching a bracket to an orthodontic bracket,

The present invention relates to a mold-type jig manufacturing method and a mold-type jig, and more specifically, to a bracket for ligating an orthodontic wire, which can be easily applied with an appropriate amount of resin, A method of manufacturing a mold type jig for attaching a bracket for orthodontic appliances that can extend the service life without breakage due to the pulling force of the wire during orthodontic correction because the slot insert can be embedded in the portion of the bracket to be contacted, will be.

Teeth that are present in the human oral cavity may have an uneven tooth alignment due to congenital or acquired deformities. Malocclusion refers to malocclusion, which causes functional problems such as an aesthetic problem that adversely affects appearance in human life, and a linguistic use of food intake or inaccurate pronunciation . Accordingly, orthodontic appliances have been used as dental treatment means for correcting malocclusion of teeth.

And a lingual correction method of correcting the teeth by attaching an orthodontic appliance to the surface of the tooth facing the inside of the oral cavity. In recent years, There is a high preference for lingual correction methods in which the orthodontic appliance is not exposed to the outside.

Conventional conventional orthodontic appliances used in orthodontics consist of a bracket attached to the patient's teeth and a line connecting the tooth formed in the bracket to provide a traction force to move the teeth to the calibration position. At this time, the bracket is formed with a base to be attached to the tooth surface.

Conventional orthodontic braces attach brackets one by one to the surface (tooth surface) of each dental tooth making a dentition and ligate an arch wire of rigid material to the slots formed in each bracket by ligation wire, Direction was gradually corrected over a long period of time.

However, in the conventional orthodontic bracket, when the wire is ligated to the slot of the bracket, the gap between the tooth surface and the arc line is formed at a relatively large interval in order to secure the treatment space. And the orthodontic force applied to the tooth is applied to the bracket, not the center of gravity of the tooth or the center of resistance.

As such, the orthodontic force that does not pass through the center of resistance of the tooth inevitably generates a rotational moment. As a result of this moment of rotation, the teeth bound to the line are rotated around the bracket slot as the center of rotation. 1, there is a problem in that an unintentional rotation moment is generated due to the movement of another tooth or a problem of a tilting of the teeth T, so that a torque bend (torque twist) the third order bend is applied to the bracket 10 so that the rotation moment M is applied to the bracket 10, the rotation of the tooth T takes place around the arc 20 inserted in the slot of the bracket 10, As a result, the vertical height of the tip of the tooth (cut edge, tibia) as well as the slope of the lingual side of the tooth changes. The farther the bracket slot is from the tooth surface (the larger the bracket 10 profile), the greater the problem.

On the other hand, the bracket for orthodontic treatment generally uses a ready-made bracket, and the resin is applied to attach it to the teeth and ligature the wire to perform orthodontic correction.

At this time, it is very difficult for skilled physicians to attach the bracket to the correct position on the teeth and to apply the resin with sufficient bonding force in an appropriate amount.

Referring to FIG. 2, in a method of manufacturing a mold-type jig according to an embodiment of the present invention, a dental model of a patient is prepared (S1000).

The dentition model of the patient may be an ideal dentition model of the patient after orthodontic treatment. After obtaining the dentition model of the patient before the correction through the dental photograph such as CT or panorama (S1100), the expected dentition array (S1200).

In addition, the dentition model of the patient before the correction can be a digital model on a computer program, as well as a dentition model of an actual patient manufactured through an impression process.

In addition, FIG. 3 shows a patient's dental model (100) after correction, wherein symptoms such as malocclusion are resolved by rearrangement of the teeth.

Next, an orthodontic line model is placed close to the dental model 100 (S2000)

4 shows a state in which the orthodontic arc model 200 is disposed close to the dental model 100. When the orthodontic orthodontic work is completed, And are disposed at corresponding positions.

Next, the slot insert model is ligated to the orthodontic arc line model 200 (S3000).

In addition, the slot insert model is arranged in a number corresponding to the number of teeth that need calibration or provide a traction force at the time of calibration.

5, the slot insert model 300 is coupled to the orthodontic arc model 200 between each tooth surface of the dental model 100 and the orthodontic arc model 200.

'자 형태를 갖는 블럭일 수 있다.The slot insert model 300 is formed with a line ligation groove 310 in which the orthodontic arc model 200 can be inserted and seated on a surface facing the orthodontic arc model 200. For example, The cross-

Quot; shape. ≪ / RTI >

However, the slot insert model 300 may have a shape of '∪' or '∨' in cross section if it is a block in which the arc ligating groove 310 is formed.

In addition, the slot insert model 300 may be provided with a bracket coupling protrusion 320 protruding from the surface of the slot insert model 300 when the slot insert model 300 is inserted into the bracket model 400 described below.

Also, the slot insert model 300 is ligated to the orthodontic arc model 200 in a number corresponding to the number of teeth to be calibrated.

Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the resin mold insert space 720 of the mold-type jig 700 is filled with the resin 400a.

Next, the mold-type jig 700 is inserted into the dentition of the patient, and the resin 400a is cured to attach the resin 400a to the tooth surface in the shape of the bracket model.

In addition, the polymerization may be a photo-polymerization in which light is irradiated to cure the resin 400a.

Next, the mold-type jig 700 is removed from the patient's teeth.

Then, as shown in FIG. 13, a bracket 400a in which a slot insert 300a is embedded is attached to each tooth surface of the patient's actual tooth row 100a.

Next, as shown in FIG. 14, the actual calibration line 200a is inserted into the slot insert 300a, and the ligature line 200b is inserted into the bracket 400a so as not to be separated from the slot insert 300a Thereby completing the arrangement of the arithmetic rectifying line 200a.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation, Various changes and modifications will be possible.
