Description

Anterior Orthodontic Appliance And Orthodontic Device Having The Same

The present invention relates to an orthodontic appliance and an orthodontic appliance having the same, and relates to an orthodontic appliance and an orthodontic appliance having the same, which connects a plurality of anterior teeth integrally to transmit the orthodontic force to the anterior teeth.

In modern people, appearance, especially impression, acts as a criterion for judging a person during an interview such as employment or admission, and also plays a very important role in social life, such as taking a large part in interpersonal relationships. It is a factor influencing overall. Accordingly, dental surgery for the improvement of teeth, dentition, or facial skeleton is being performed along with plastic surgery.

The orthodontic procedure is a concept including a procedure for correcting an orthodontic tooth, for example, a consultation orthodontic treatment for arranging a crooked tooth, and can correct a variety of skeletal inconsistencies that may occur in the growth process to exert a normal function. It contributes to healthy oral tissue, and furthermore, by changing the anatomical structure of the oral cavity, it is possible to create a beautiful face image by smoothing the facial lines.

The dental orthodontic surgery, orthodontic surgery to improve orthodontics such as malocclusion through the gradual movement of the teeth, and growth orthodontic surgery to promote or suppress the growth of the facial skeleton during the growth phase, surgical operation of the facial skeleton, especially the jawbone It can be divided into orthognathic surgery, etc. to give skeletal improvement by performing.

In other words, there is a case where the treatment of simple tooth movement is not possible due to the abnormality of intermeshing of the upper and lower teeth or the abnormality of the facial skeletal structure, especially the jaw structure. Growth Modification), even in adults, moderate or higher skeletal abnormalities may be applied in parallel with the above-mentioned treatments, orthognathic surgery to correct the abnormalities of the jaw bone itself and to create a functional and/or aesthetic face.

The orthodontic procedure can be largely divided into labial and lingual correction. Orthodontic correction is performed by attaching the orthodontic appliance used for orthodontics to the surface of the lips (outer surface of the teeth) of the teeth. The lingual correction is a correction method in which orthodontic correction is performed by attaching the orthodontic appliance to the surface of the tongue (inner surface of the tooth) among the surfaces of the teeth.

The orthodontic procedure takes a long period of time depending on the patient's condition, and various procedures such as improving the dentition of the anterior teeth or the gap between the anterior teeth, improving the protruding mouth or closing the extraction space or the tooth loss space are performed. have.

On the other hand, during the orthodontic procedure, a correction that moves the teeth (anterior teeth) of the anterior portion to the lingual side, for example, the palatal side, is called lingual traction, and in the case of a protruding tooth in the case where the patient's teeth are abnormally protruding forward. Since the phenomenon is shown, the above-mentioned lingual traction is presented as one method for correcting the overhang. In addition, in the orthodontic treatment, the anterior teeth spread and are towed to the lingual side. For the above-described lateral traction, that is, the posterior movement of the anterior portion, a curved wire in a curved shape is installed in the oral cavity via a wire supporter (bracket) on the lateral side or the labial side of the anterior portion to fit the dentition of the anterior portion.

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