Description

Manufacturing method of multifunctional braces

The present invention relates to a manufacturing method of multifunctional braces, which refers to a multifunctional braces with implant function and correction function made on the basis of digital planning.

The creator has given humans 32 permanent teeth. The overall arrangement and combination are critical to the chewing power and the beauty of the face. Once the teeth are damaged, they cannot be repaired. The most common is patients whose occlusal height has been lost due to a large number of missing teeth, or severe tooth wear and tooth decay. In order to provide patients with a stable bite and provide a suitable space for the dentures, it is often The occlusal height between the upper and lower jaws of the patient must be increased, so that the teeth of the entire mouth must be reconstructed.

Existing computer-assisted dental treatment methods usually separate treatments for the correction of tooth deformities and implant surgery, and the doctors only treat the patients according to the basic main demands. However, with the multiple choices of lifestyle and diet, oral health care is becoming more and more important, and more and more dental implant patients need to be treated. According to current medical statistics, most dental implant patients are between 40 and 60 years old. At the hierarchical level, some patients are in a state of long-term lack of teeth, causing the dentition in the oral cavity to be disordered and uneven, which actually affects the appearance and chewing ability.

For patients with missing teeth, orthodontic treatment is usually performed first. The treatment period is about two years. According to the evaluation of the results after the orthodontic treatment, the next stage of dental implant planning treatment can be carried out. After three to six months After the implant has healed, the denture can be installed for oral reconstruction. However, the overall oral treatment time is too long, and the treatment process is too complicated, and because each person's oral healing ability is different from the effect after oral reconstruction, there is a risk of failure due to poor results. For patients, it is not only necessary The high cost of treatment and the need to endure a long period of oral treatment, the inability to predict the outcome of oral reconstruction has made many patients less willing to receive treatment.

In view of this, the present invention proposes a method for manufacturing multifunctional braces in order to effectively overcome the above-mentioned problems in view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art.

Among them, after the digital planning and evaluation of the computer processor, the complete oral function can be reconstructed based on the patient's oral information, and with the need for aesthetics, after the step of generating corrective treatment planning information, it also includes inverting corrective treatment planning. The precise position of the teeth in each stage of the information is used to predict the results of a straightening tooth arrangement and the steps to reserve a tooth position.

Among them, after the step of generating corrective treatment plan information, it further includes the step of simulating at least one denture crown appearance image based on the treatment plan information and medical image information, and performing an implant implant based on the denture crown appearance image A simulated image is placed at the position of the implant, and the simulated image at the position of the implant contains the axial information and depth information of the implant.

Among them, according to the oral image information and the implant placement simulation image, the processor of a computer system performs the digital simulation integration step. Based on the integration of the original dentition image and the implant placement simulation image, Simulate an original tooth position as the implant position.

Among them, the orthodontic treatment planning information system includes the teeth that need to be corrected and moved to match the original dentition image in the oral image information. The composite functional braces are transparent thin shells of unequal thickness and can retain the implant position. A protective space, through the appearance of a transparent shell to exert force on the teeth to achieve the purpose of moving the teeth, according to the function of correcting the tooth arrangement.

Among them, the composite functional braces can be manufactured by using a three-dimensional layered printing (3D printing) method or a digital processing machine, or combined with a three-dimensional layered printing manufacturing and a numerical processing machine.

For existing patients with orthodontic and dental implants, in order to achieve the goal of short treatment and aesthetics, most of them are complicated and lengthy in the treatment process, which increases the patient’s life troubles. Moreover, the treatment results cannot be predicted. There will be risks that the treatment results are not as good as expected and high costs. The present invention is eager to improve and innovate.
