Description

Anterior Orthodontic Appliance And Orthodontic Device Having The Same {Anterior Orthodontic Appliance And Orthodontic Device Having The Same}

The present invention relates to an anterior orthodontic appliance and an orthodontic device having the same, and to a front orthodontic appliance for transmitting orthodontic force to the anterior teeth by integrally connecting a plurality of anterior teeth, and a dental appliance having the same.

For modern people, appearance, especially impression, acts as a criterion for judging a person during interviews such as employment or admission, and it plays a very important factor in social life, taking up a large proportion in interpersonal relationships. It becomes a factor that influences the whole. Accordingly, along with plastic surgery, dental orthodontic procedures for improving teeth, dentition, or facial skeletons are popular.

The orthodontic procedure is a concept that includes a procedure that corrects irregular teeth, for example, orthodontics of consultation to tidy a crooked tooth, and corrects various skeletal incongruities that may occur during the growth process, so that a normal function can be achieved. By doing so, it contributes to healthy oral tissue, and furthermore, by changing the anatomical structure of the oral cavity, the facial line can be refined to create a beautiful face image.

The orthodontic procedure includes orthodontic procedures that improve malocclusion, such as malocclusion, through gradual movement of the dentition, growth phase correction that promotes or suppresses the elevation of the facial skeleton during the growth phase, and surgical operations on the facial skeleton, especially the jaw bone. It can be classified into orthognathic surgery, which is performed to impart skeletal improvement.

In other words, abnormalities in the interlocking of the lower and upper teeth or the facial skeletal structure, especially the jaw structure, are so severe that it is not possible to treat only with simple tooth movement.In this case, the growth period correction ( Growth Modification), in adults with moderate or higher skeletal abnormalities, orthognathic surgery, which corrects the abnormality of the jaw itself by surgery to make a functional and/or aesthetic face, is applied in parallel with the above-described treatment.

The orthodontic procedure can be broadly divided into labial or lingual correction, and the labial orthodontic treatment is performed by attaching orthodontic instruments used for orthodontics to the surface of the lip side (outer surface of the tooth) among the surfaces of the teeth. The lingual correction is an orthodontic method in which the orthodontic appliance is attached to the lingual surface (inner surface of the tooth) of the tooth surface.

The orthodontic procedure takes a long time depending on the patient's condition, and various procedures such as improvement of the density of the teeth in the anterior teeth or the spreading between the anterior teeth, improvement of the protruding mouth, closure of the extraction space or tooth loss space, etc. are performed. have.

On the other hand, the correction of moving the teeth (anterior teeth) of the anterior teeth to the lingual side, for example, the palatal side during the orthodontic procedure, is called lingual traction, and in the case of tooth protrusion in which the patient's teeth are abnormally protruding forward, protruding mouth Since the phenomenon is shown, the above-described lingual traction is presented as one method for correcting this protruding mouth. In addition, even in the orthodontic treatment of dense anterior teeth, the anterior teeth spread and are pulled to the lingual side. For the above-described lingual traction, that is, to move the anterior teeth backward, a curved arc wire is installed in the oral cavity through a wire supporter (bracket) on the lingual or labial side of the anterior teeth.

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