Description

Wire fixing tube for orthodontics {wire fixing tube for orthodontics}

The present invention relates to a wire fixing tube for orthodontic use, and more particularly, to an orthodontic wire fixing tube for easily adjusting the tension of a wire installed during orthodontic treatment.

In general, occlusion refers to a state in which teeth of the upper jaw and the lower jaw mesh with each other when the mouth is closed. In addition, malocclusion refers to an incorrect occlusion relationship that is functionally and aesthetically problematic because the arrangement of the teeth is not aligned or the interlocking state of the upper and lower jaws is out of the normal position due to some cause.

Here, the cause of the malocclusion is known to have a large genetic influence, but may be caused by various causes such as problems with the shape or size of teeth, environmental influences, bad habits, wrong posture, and congenital disorders such as dental caries.

On the other hand, when malocclusion occurs, food debris is likely to remain between the teeth because the teeth are not aligned. In addition, since it is not easy to cleanly manage with accurate brushing, it is easy to progress to gum disease such as dental caries or gum inflammation due to an increase in plaque in the oral cavity. Moreover, if there are teeth that deviate from the normal dentition or the position of the jaw is abnormal, there is a high possibility that damage to the teeth, such as tooth fracture, is applied when an external shock is applied.

Thus, orthodontic treatment is performed to treat the malocclusion. Here, the orthodontic treatment uses the property of teeth moving when receiving an external force.

In detail, the orthodontic treatment uses various devices and methods depending on the cause of the malocclusion or the treatment period. For example, it may be classified into a device that inhibits or promotes the growth of the upper and lower jaw bones or a device that slowly moves teeth to a desired position. In addition, it can be divided into a removable device that can be installed and separated in the oral cavity and a fixed device that is attached to the tooth and then removed when the treatment is finished.

On the other hand, the most used currently is a fixed treatment method in which a device called a bracket is attached to the teeth and the teeth are moved using the tension of a wire provided as an orthodontic wire or rubber band, and is commonly used in various types of orthodontic treatment.

In detail, the brackets are attached to the surface of the tooth to be aligned so as not to be separated even when the tension is applied, and the wire is fixed to interconnect the brackets. In addition, by controlling the tension applied to the wire to variously adjust the direction and magnitude of the force applied to the wire, the tooth to be aligned can be gradually moved. Therefore, the orthodontic treatment is performed while the position and posture of the teeth to be aligned are changed by the tension of the wire and the teeth move little by little.

Meanwhile, in the related art, after the bracket is attached to the tooth to be aligned and the wire is installed in the bracket, an adhesive resin is used to fix both ends of the wire. In detail, the adhesive or laminated coating is applied to both ends of the wire to have a predetermined volume and cured, and in some cases, the adhesive resin may be adhered to the side surface of the posterior teeth adjacent to the outer side of the orthodontic teeth. Through this, it is possible to prevent the wire from being unnecessarily separated/separated from the bracket, and when the wire is provided as a wire, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of wounds in the oral cavity at the sharp end of the wire.

However, this adhesive resin has a problem in that it is cumbersome to separate from the wire in order to readjust the tension of the wire, and also difficult to separate from the tooth.

In addition, when both ends of the wire are fixed using the adhesive resin, both ends of the wire are cut substantially short without an extra length in order to prevent both ends of the wire from being exposed to the outside. For this reason, when an extra length of the wire is required to adjust the tension applied to the tooth to be aligned, it is cumbersome to remove the previously installed wire and replace it with a new wire. Due to the increase in the treatment process, the inconvenience of the operator and the treatment person is increased, as well as an increase in correction cost, resulting in a decrease in economic feasibility.

In order to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an orthodontic wire fixing tube that can easily adjust the tension of a wire installed during orthodontic treatment.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is a body portion formed on the inner surface of the attachment surface is fixed to the surface of the tooth; a via protrusion protruding outward from one end of the body portion, through which an insertion tube into which a wire providing tension for orthodontic treatment is inserted penetrates in a first direction corresponding to the direction of the dental arch; And a hooking wing formed to face and protrude from the other end of the body in a second direction intersecting the first direction so that a traction band provided to provide a pressing force for fixing the wire passing through the insertion tube is hooked. Provides a wire fixing tube for orthodontics comprising a.

Here, a stepped groove in which one side of the wire, which is primarily bent by the pressing force of the traction band, is accommodated is formed between the via protrusion and the hooking wing, and the other side of the wire seated on the outer surface of the hooking wing is formed. Preferably, a bending end is formed between the hooking wing and the other side surface of the body so as to be secondarily bent through the pressing force of the traction band.

At this time, it is preferable that the first distance between the attachment surface and the outer surface of the locking wing part exceeds the second distance between the attachment surface and the adjacent inner circumference of the insertion pipe part.

In addition, a guide groove in which the other side of the wire is accommodated is formed on the other side of the body, and the depth of the guide groove is preferably less than the thickness of the wire.

On the other hand, the hooking wing portion protrudes to the other side of the second direction at the other end of the body portion, and the first wing protrudes outwardly inclined to one side in the second direction at the other end of the body portion, and the outer surface is the outer surface of the first wing portion. It is preferable to include a second wing portion extending obliquely inward with a continuous inclined surface and having a hook protrusion formed at an end portion thereof to face the side surface of the body portion.

Through the above solution, the present invention provides the following effects.

First, the end side of the wire can be firmly fixed while being pressed and bent in response to the shape of one side and the other side of the hooking wing through the elastic force of the traction band caught on the hooking wing protruding oppositely in the longitudinal direction of the tooth. Since it is easy to move the position for adjusting the tension of the wire by simply separating it, the convenience of operation can be remarkably improved.

Second, the end of the wire is automatically pressed through the elastic force of the traction band to the stepped groove formed in a stepped depression on one side of the hooking wing and the bent end on the other side, and the wire is arbitrarily moved during the orthodontic treatment period because the position is restricted by multiple bending. Since the tension is stably transmitted by preventing the tension, the calibration reliability can be remarkably improved.

Third, since the second wing protruding toward the root side rather than the first wing protruding toward the occlusal end of the tooth is formed inclined so as to be away from the surface of the tooth, a space is secured for the binding of the locking band in the second wing adjacent to the inside of the gum, The first wing is disposed adjacent to the occlusion end, so separation/separation due to interference of food during chewing or tongue can be prevented.

1 is an exemplary view showing a state of use of an orthodontic wire fixing tube according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the fixing tube 100 may be attached to the surface of each fixing tooth t2 adjacent to both sides of the target tooth portion T. In addition, both ends of the wire 50 installed to connect the orthodontic bracket 1 attached along the target tooth portion T to provide tension may be fixed to the fixing tube 100 .

Here, the target tooth portion T is preferably understood as an dentition region including at least one or more teeth t1 to be orthodontic that substantially require orthodontic treatment. For example, the target tooth portion T may include all or part of six teeth on the anterior side where malocclusion usually occurs in the oral cavity. In addition, the fixed tooth (t2) is preferably understood as a tooth adjacent to the outermost tooth in the dental arch direction of the target tooth portion (T), and in the present invention, a first premolar adjacent to a canine is It may correspond to the fixed tooth t2.

Meanwhile, orthodontic treatment using the orthodontic bracket 1 and the wire 50 is performed in the following manner. First, the orthodontic bracket 1 is matched one-to-one and attached to the surface of each target tooth t included in the target tooth portion T. At this time, it is preferable that the orthodontic bracket 1 is attached to the lingual surface of each of the teeth to be aligned t1. Through this, the orthodontic bracket 1 is not exposed to the outside, so aesthetics can be improved, and pain/discomfort caused by scratching or interference with the orthodontic bracket 1 can be prevented.

The orthodontic bracket 1 is provided to have a predetermined volume, and a molded surface 2 molded to the lingual surface of each of the teeth to be aligned t1 is formed on an inner surface. Also, a coupling groove 3 through which the wire 50 is installed is installed outside the orthodontic bracket 1 . These orthodontic brackets 1 may be individually designed and provided to correspond to each of the teeth t1 to be orthodontic in consideration of the dental condition of the orthodontic treatment subject and the desirable continuous dentition line e. For example, an orthodontic treatment plan can be precisely established as an orthodontic process corresponding to the desired continuous dentition line (e) is virtually simulated based on a scanning image obtained of the oral cavity of the orthodontic treatment subject. In addition, the position to which the orthodontic bracket 1 is attached is set for each tooth t1 to be aligned so that the tension of the wire 50 can be transmitted in response to the established plan, so that precise orthodontic treatment can be performed. can

Moreover, the location and opening direction of the coupling groove 3 may be set during the design process of the orthodontic bracket 1 so that the wire 50 is easily inserted into the coupling groove 3. In addition, a jig part (not shown) for guiding the correct installation position of the orthodontic bracket 1 may be further set. The jig part (not shown) is provided at the upper end of the orthodontic bracket 1, and the inner surface of the jig part (not shown) may be formed to match the occlusal end of each of the teeth t to be aligned. Through this, when the jig part (not shown) is molded to the occlusal end, the orthodontic bracket 1 can be aligned and attached to the lingual surface of the tooth t1 to be aligned in an accurate position.

The wire 50 is installed via the coupling groove 3 formed in each of the orthodontic brackets 1 so as to continuously connect the orthodontic brackets 1 attached to each of the orthodontic teeth t1. . In addition, as tension is provided by adjusting the position of the wire 50, the position and direction of each tooth to be aligned t1 may be moved to correspond to the desired continuous teeth alignment line e.

Meanwhile, the fixing tube 100 is attached and fixed to each of the fixed teeth t2 so that both ends of the wire 50 installed via the plurality of orthodontic brackets 1 can be fixed to the oral cavity. That is, the wire 50 passes through the insertion tube (21 in FIG. 2) formed in the fixing tube 100, and the fixed tooth t2 through the double-bending structure and the pressing and restraining structure of the traction band 40, which will be described later. It can be fixed on the lingual side of

In detail, both end portions 53 of the wire 50 passing through the orthodontic bracket 1 attached to each outer tooth to be aligned t1 of the target tooth portion T extend toward each posterior tooth. In addition, one side (51 in FIG. 4) and the other side (52 in FIG. 4) of the wire 50 are fixed to the fixing tube 100, and each end 53 is connected to the fixing tooth t2 and the fixing tooth. It can be inserted into the interdental formed between the adjacent teeth (t3, for example, the second premolar) of (t2).

Therefore, as each end 53 of the wire 50 is substantially inserted into the interdental space and shielded without a separate shielding member, damage due to scratching of the oral tissue can be prevented. In addition, since each end 53 of the wire 50 is prevented from being separated from the fixing tube 100 due to interference with the flow of the tongue, fastening robustness can be remarkably improved.

Furthermore, the wire 50 may be cut long enough to have an extra length that can be inserted between the teeth. Therefore, even if readjustment of the tension is required during the orthodontic period, it can be easily adjusted by utilizing the extra length of the wire 50. Through this, the cumbersome process of separating the pre-installed wire and reinstalling the new wire and the installation time for this are omitted, thereby improving installation convenience and minimizing waste of materials used for orthodontic treatment.

This is an example of a state. At this time, in each figure, the dotted line indicates that the inside or the rear surface is projected, the dotted line indicates the coupled state of the traction band 40 virtually, and the dotted line indicates the wire It is preferable to understand that the coupling state of (50) is virtually represented. In addition, in the following, the other end surface of the body portion 10 and the other end surface of the body portion 10 are preferably understood as the same part.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 6B , the fixing tube 100 includes the body part 10 , the via protrusion part 20 and the hooking wing part 30 . At this time, it is preferable that the body portion 10, the via protruding portion 20, and the hooking wing portion 30 are formed substantially integrally.

Meanwhile, the wire 50 may be fixed to the fixing tube 100 by the pressing force of the traction band 40. Hereinafter, the traction band 40 will be described as an elastic body capable of elastic expansion through external force. and shows. For example, the traction band 40 may be formed of rubber or silicone, and may be provided in a closed ring shape. Hereinafter, it is preferable to understand that the pressing force of the traction band 40 and the elastic force of the traction band 40 are described with substantially the same meaning. Of course, in some cases, the traction band 40 may be provided with a ligature wire. That is, after the ligating wire provided in a linear fashion is arranged to pass through both ends of the hooking wing portion 30 to be described later, the wire 50 moves through the fixing tube ( 100) may be fixed.

In detail, referring to FIGS. 2 to 5, the body portion 10 is a portion attached to the fixed tooth t2 and has an attachment surface 11 formed on an inner surface, and the attachment surface 11 is formed with an adhesive resin. It is attached and fixed to the surface of the fixed tooth t2 through (r). At this time, the attachment surface 11 may be formed to conform to the surface contour of the fixed tooth t2, preferably the lingual surface. Through this, since the gap between the surface of the fixed tooth t2 and the attachment surface 11 is minimized, it can be stably attached and fixed.

The body portion 10 may extend in a first direction (x) corresponding to the direction of the dental arch, and may protrude outward from the attachment surface 11, that is, lingually, to have a predetermined volume.

It is preferable that the via protrusion 20 protrude to the outside corresponding to the protrusion direction of the body portion 10 at one end of the outer side of the body portion 10 . That is, the via protruding portion 20 and the other outer surface of the body portion 10 may be formed stepwise. At this time, it is preferable to understand that one end of the body portion 10 corresponds to the anterior side when the fixing tube 100 is attached to the fixed tooth t2, preferably corresponding to the target tooth portion T. In addition, the other end of the body portion 10 is preferably understood as a portion corresponding to the posterior tooth side when the fixing tube 100 is attached to the fixed tooth t2.

It is preferable that the insertion tube portion 21 into which the wire 50 is inserted is formed through the via protrusion 20 in the first direction (x). In addition, the wire 50 may be introduced into and passed through one side of the insertion tube part 21 and drawn out to the other outer end of the body part 10 . At this time, the via protruding portion 20 is preferably formed as an inclined surface 22 inclined toward one end of the body portion 10 as the other surface corresponding to the other end of the body portion 10 goes outward. That is, the cross-sectional area of the other end of the via protrusion 20 at which the inclined surface 22 is formed may be formed to become narrower toward the outside. Through this, a stepped groove 12 to be described below may be formed between the via protrusion 20 and the hooking wing 30.

The via protrusion 20 has a width in the second direction (y) crossing the first direction (x) that is smaller than the width of the body portion 10 in the second direction (y), and has a rounded outer surface. It is desirable to form At this time, it is preferable to understand that the second direction (y) corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the fixed tooth (t2). Therefore, even if the via protrusion 20 further protrudes from the body 10 to the lingual side, the interference caused by the movement of the tongue can be minimized because the volume is formed compactly.

It is preferable that the hooking wing portion 30 protrude from the other outer end of the body portion 10 to face each other in correspondence to the second direction (y). In detail, the hooking wing part 30 has a first wing part 31 protruding to one side in the second direction (y) at the other outer end of the body part 10 and the other outer end of the body part 10. It is preferable to include a second wing portion 32 protruding to the other side of the second direction (y). That is, the first wing portion 31 preferably protrudes toward the occluding end of the fixed tooth t2, and the second wing portion 32 preferably protrudes toward the root side of the fixed tooth t2. Through this, in the fixing tube 100, the body portion 10 extends in the direction of the dental arch, and the locking wing portion 30 attaches to the other outer end of the body portion 10 to secure the fixed tooth t2. It may be extended corresponding to the longitudinal direction of. As such, the fixing tube 100 may be formed to extend in a direction in which the body portion 10 and the hooking wing portion 30 intersect each other.

And, it is preferable that the traction band 40 is caught on the first wing part 31 and the second wing part 32. When both sides of the traction band 40 are hooked to the first wing part 31 and the second wing part 32, respectively, the wire 50 is moved through the elastic force of the traction band 40 to the hooking wing part ( 30) can be pressed to the outer surface.

Here, it is preferable that the stepped groove 12 is formed between the via protrusion 20 and the hooking wing 30 . In detail, the other side surface of the via protrusion 20 is formed as the inclined surface 22 inclined toward one side of the via protrusion 20 toward the outer end. Accordingly, as the inclined surface 22 and one side surface of the hooking wing 30 are spaced apart from each other, the stepped groove 12 may be recessed.

Moreover, the first distance h1 between the attachment surface 11 and the outer surface of the hooking wing portion 30 is the second distance h1 between the attachment surface 11 and the adjacent inner circumference 21a of the insertion tube portion 21. It is preferable to form beyond the interval h2. Here, it is preferable to understand that the adjacent inner circumference 21a of the insertion tube part 21 is the inner circumference closest to the attachment surface 11 among the inner circumferences of the insertion tube part 21 .

Therefore, the first distance h1 and the second distance h2 with respect to the attachment surface 11 are formed between the outer surface of the hooking wing part 30 and the adjacent inner circumference 21a of the insertion tube part 21. It may be formed to be stepped as much as the step interval h3 corresponding to the difference in . That is, the fixing tube 100 is formed so that the contours connected to the inner circumference 21a adjacent to the insertion tube part 21, the stepped groove 12, and the outer surface of the hooking wing part 30 are stepwise. Through this, when the traction band 40 is caught on the first wing part 31 and the second wing part 32, the wire drawn out from the insertion tube part 21 through the elastic force of the traction band 40 One side 51 of 50) may be pressed but bent by the step interval h3.

Here, the stepped groove 12 is recessed in a portion where the adjacent inner circumference 21a of the insertion pipe part 21 and the hooking wing part 30 are mutually stepped. Therefore, through the elastic force of the traction band 40, one side 51 of the wire 50 may be further pressed into the stepped groove 12 to be pressurized and fixed in a bent shape.

And, it is preferable that a bent end 14 is formed between the hooking wing part 30 and the other side surface of the body part 10. The bent end 14 is preferably understood as a corner portion of a boundary between the outer surface of the hooking wing portion 30 and the other side surface of the body portion 10 . As shown in the drawing, the bent end 14 may be formed in a round shape, and in some cases may be formed in an angular shape.

In detail, the other side 52 of the wire 50 passing through the insertion tube 21 and extending to the outer surface of the hooking wing 30 extends to the body 10 through the pressing force of the traction band 40. It may be bent secondarily to the other end surface of and fixed by pressing. Here, the wire 50 is supported by the bending end 14 and can be bent secondarily so as to correspond to the other side of the body part 10 from the outer surface of the hooking wing part 30 .

At this time, the first wing portion 31 and the second wing portion 32 are formed to have a predetermined thickness, and the traction caught on the inner surface of the first wing portion 31 and the second wing portion 32 The band 40 is spaced apart from the outer surface of the hooking wing portion 30 toward the attachment surface 11 by the thickness of each wing portion 31 and 32. That is, the traction band 40 is disposed to cross the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the other end surface of the body portion 10 while being caught by the first wing portion 31 and the second wing portion 32. can In addition, when the traction band 40 is caught on the hooking wing portion 30, the other side 52 of the wire 50 is automatically secondarily bent through the elastic force of the traction band 40, and the body portion ( 10) may be tightly fixed to the other end surface.

At this time, it is preferable that the guide groove 13 is recessed along the protruding direction of the body part 10 on the other end surface of the body part 10 . Accordingly, the second side 52 of the wire 50 bent through the pressing force of the traction band 40 may be accommodated in the guide groove 13 . Through this, the other side 52 of the wire 50 does not flow arbitrarily in the longitudinal direction of the fixed tooth t2 and the extension direction can be guided to the interdental space.

Here, it is preferable that the depression depth d1 of the guide groove 13 is less than the thickness of the wire 50. Therefore, when the other side 52 of the wire 50 is accommodated in the guide groove 13, the outer circumferential surface of the other side 52 of the wire 50 is in contact with the inner surface of the guide groove 13, and the wire The outer circumferential surface of the other side 52 of 50 may protrude slightly outward from the guide groove 13. Through this, since the elastic force of the traction band 40 is clearly provided to the wire 50, the second bent portion 52 can be pressurized and fixed between the guide groove 13 and the traction band 40. there is.

As such, in the present invention, one side 51 and the other side 52 of the wire 50 are automatically multi-bent and accommodated in the stepped groove 12 and the guide groove 13 through the elastic force of the traction band 40. It can be. At this time, one side 51 and the other side 52 of the wire 50 are bent through a pressing force to be accommodated in the stepped groove 12 and the guide groove 13, and the stepped groove 12 ) and is caught and restrained by the guide groove 13.

Through this, as the movement of the wire 50 in the direction of the dental arch is substantially restricted, the wire 50 can be firmly fixed. That is, the wire 50 is fixed to the fixing tube 100 through a structure that is automatically bent through a pressing force applied while the traction band 40 is ligated to the fixing tube 100 without a separate adhesive. Location can be constrained. Therefore, since the tension provided through the wire 50 is accurately transferred to each of the teeth t1 to be aligned, the reliability of orthodontic treatment can be remarkably improved.

On the other hand, it is preferable that the first wing portion 31 protrudes outwardly inclined toward one side of the second direction (y) at the other outer end of the body portion 10. And, it is preferable that the second wing portion 32 protrudes obliquely inward toward the other side of the second direction (y) at the other outer end of the body portion 10. That is, it is preferable that each outer surface of the first wing portion 31 and the second wing portion 32 is formed as a continuous inclined surface. At this time, it is preferable to understand that the outward inclination and the inward inclination are based on the attachment surface 11 . That is, the first separation interval (s1) between the first wing portion 31 and the attachment surface 11 is greater than the second separation interval (s2) between the second wing portion 32 and the attachment surface (11). As formed at large intervals, the hooking wing portion 30 may be inclined along the second direction (y).

At this time, in a state in which the fixing tube 100 is attached and fixed to the fixing tooth t2, the first wing part 31 may be spaced apart from the surface of the fixing tooth t2 by the first distance s1. there is. Through this, a sufficient distance is secured between the first wing portion 31 and the surface of the fixed teeth t2 to allow the traction band 40 to be hooked, and thus installation convenience can be remarkably improved.

In addition, the second wing portion 32 may be spaced apart from the surface of the fixed tooth t2 by the second spacing s2 smaller than the first spacing s1. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the traction band 40 from being separated from the second wing 32 while securing a minimum distance for the traction band 40 to be engaged with the second wing 32. .

Moreover, it is preferable that the hook protrusion 33 protrudes inward at the end of the second wing portion 32 . At this time, the inner surface of the hook protrusion 33 may protrude to face the side surface of the body portion 10 . Therefore, since the traction band 40 is wrapped and engaged between the hook protrusion 33, the inner surface of the second wing 32 and the side surface of the body 10, fastening robustness can be further improved.
