Description

Apparartus for measuring maxillofacial asymmetry

The present invention relates to a medical maxillofacial asymmetry measuring apparatus.

In general, when a tooth is damaged by a disease such as tooth decay and can not perform its original function, a dental treatment is usually performed in which a prosthesis made of a material such as gold is manufactured and a manufactured prosthesis is substituted for a damaged tooth. The process of manufacturing the dental prosthesis during the dental treatment process removes the corroded parts of the teeth and exposes the damaged tooth using an impression tray as disclosed in Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-2009-0002828, In this way, the impression of the tooth is sent to the bite shop to make a plaster model and a prosthesis.

On the other hand, when the impression of a damaged tooth is merely raised by the impression tray disclosed in the above publication, only the impression of the tooth appears. There is therefore a limit to making a prosthesis suitable for a patient with a damaged tooth.

In other words, the patient's teeth are arranged in correlation with the orbital plane equilibrium line, the facial center symmetry line, the campus plan, and the occlusal plane. However, the pull-up tray disclosed in the above publication has a structure capable of lifting only the teeth without considering the orbital plane equilibrium line, the center line of symmetry, the camper's plane, and the occlusal plane. Accordingly, the impression tray disclosed in the above publication has a problem in that it is difficult to manufacture a prosthesis suitable for a patient having a damaged tooth.
