Description

咀嚼式齒列矯正裝置及咀嚼式齒列和齒顎矯正裝置 Chewing type orthodontic device and chewing dentition and gingival correction device

本發明係關於一種齒列及齒顎矯正技術;特別係有關於一種咀嚼式齒列矯正裝置及一種咀嚼式齒列和齒顎矯正裝置。 The present invention relates to a dentition and gingival correction technique; in particular, to a chewing dentition correction device and a chewing dentition and gingival correction device.

應瞭解的是,牙齒不整齊除了可能影響到人際關係,嚴重者更會影響咀嚼、發音、蛀牙、牙周病、牙齒異常磨損等口腔之功能及健康,因此越來越多的人會尋求齒列矯正(orthodontic correction)。 It should be understood that in addition to the irregularities of the teeth, it may affect the interpersonal relationship. In severe cases, it may affect the function and health of the mouth such as chewing, pronunciation, cavities, periodontal disease, abnormal tooth wear, so more and more people will seek teeth. Orthodox correction.

傳統齒列矯正裝置主要藉由非矯正的牙齒作為支錨碇端(anchorage),並透過金屬線或牙套板扭曲產生力矩來使牙齒發生位移,以矯正齒列。然而,此方法在矯正時牙齒位移量不易精確地掌握,因而會延長矯正的時間。另外,傳統金屬線齒列矯正器的金屬線容易刮傷病患的口腔,且不美觀,至於牙套板齒列矯正器其每日的配戴時間過長(例如每日20個小時以上)。 The conventional orthodontic device mainly uses an uncorrected tooth as an anchorage and distorts the metal wire or the brachial plate to generate a moment to displace the tooth to correct the dentition. However, this method is difficult to accurately grasp the amount of tooth displacement during the correction, and thus the correction time is prolonged. In addition, the metal wire of the conventional wire-toothed orthodontic device is easy to scratch the patient's mouth, and is not aesthetically pleasing. As for the braces-plate orthodontic device, the daily wearing time is too long (for example, more than 20 hours per day).

再者,有些人需要一併進行齒顎矯正(orthognathic correction),方能根本解決其顎骨與牙齒不對齊的問題。 Furthermore, some people need to perform orthognathic correction together to solve the problem of misalignment of the tibia and teeth.

一般而言,病患需要齒顎矯正之主要原因,是由於其上、下顎骨之間的顳顎關節(temporomandibular joint,TMJ)未處於適當的位置(optimum position),從而導致上、下顎骨之間的相對位置異常。舉例而言,參見第8A圖及第8B圖,其顯示常見的病患之頭骨、上顎骨及下顎骨之相對關係示意圖。其中,上顎骨10固定地連接於頭骨40,下顎骨20透過顳顎關節30活動地連接於頭骨40。同時,上顎骨10與上排牙齒12連接,且下顎骨20與下排牙齒22連接。當病患之上、下顎骨10及20之間的顳顎關節30未處於適當的位置時,可能導致下顎骨20相對於上顎骨10過於前凸(第1A圖)或者下顎骨20相對於上顎骨10過於後縮(第1B圖)的情況,從而使得上、下排牙齒12及22發生咬合不正。 In general, the main reason for patients needing gum correction is because the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) between the superior and inferior tibia is not in the optimal position, resulting in the upper and lower tibia. The relative position between them is abnormal. For example, see Figures 8A and 8B, which show a schematic diagram of the relative relationship between the skull, upper tibia, and mandible of a common patient. The upper tibia 10 is fixedly coupled to the skull 40, and the lower tibia 20 is movably coupled to the skull 40 through the ankle joint 30. At the same time, the upper tibia 10 is coupled to the upper row of teeth 12 and the lower tibia 20 is coupled to the lower row of teeth 22. When the ankle joint 30 between the patient and the mandible 10 and 20 is not in place, the mandibular 20 may be too convex (Fig. 1A) or the lower tibia 20 relative to the upper tibia 10 (Fig. 1A). The humerus 10 is too retracted (Fig. 1B), so that the upper and lower rows of teeth 12 and 22 are malocclusion.

目前醫師大多利用切骨手術(osteotomy),先切開病患上顎骨、下顎骨或者雙顎的骨頭,接著將切開後的斷骨重組至需求的位置,以矯正齒顎。然而,此手術方法除了需要醫師的優良技術之外,其困難處往往在於容易造成病患心生恐懼,以致放棄治療行為。 At present, most doctors use osteotomy to cut the bones of the upper jaw, lower jaw or double jaws, and then reconstruct the broken bones to the required position to correct the gums. However, in addition to the excellent technique of the physician, this surgical method often has difficulty in causing the patient to fear and abandon the treatment behavior.

請參見第1A圖及第1B圖,第1A圖顯示病患配戴本發明一實施例之咀嚼式齒列矯正裝置(masticatory orthodontic correction device)之咀嚼單元以進行咀嚼的示意圖,第1B圖顯示病患配戴本發明一實施例之咀嚼式齒列矯正裝置之維持單元的示意圖。應先瞭解的是,本實施例之咀嚼式齒列矯正裝置包括至少一咀嚼單元1(第1A圖)及至少一維持單元1’(第1B圖),但不以此為限。 Please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B. FIG. 1A is a schematic view showing a chewing unit of a masticatory orthodontic correction device according to an embodiment of the present invention for chewing, and FIG. 1B shows a disease. A schematic view of a maintenance unit for wearing a chewing dentition correction device according to an embodiment of the present invention. It should be understood that the chewing orthodontic device of the present embodiment includes at least one chew unit 1 (Fig. 1A) and at least one maintaining unit 1' (Fig. 1B), but is not limited thereto.

在第1A圖中,咀嚼單元1包括一第一固定器(retainer)100及一第二固定器200,分別以可拆方式裝於病患之上、下排牙齒12及22。在第1B圖中,維持單元1’包括一第一定位器(positioner)100’及一第二定位器200’,分別以可拆方式裝於病患之上、下排牙齒12及22。如此一來,病患可視場合及需求自由地裝上或取下咀嚼單元1及維持單元1’,並能夠正常地清潔牙齒。 In Fig. 1A, the chewing unit 1 includes a first retainer 100 and a second retainer 200 that are removably attached to the patient's upper and lower rows of teeth 12 and 22, respectively. In Fig. 1B, the maintaining unit 1' includes a first positioner 100' and a second positioner 200' which are detachably mounted on the patient's upper and lower rows of teeth 12 and 22, respectively. In this way, the patient can freely attach or remove the chewing unit 1 and the maintenance unit 1' depending on the occasion and the needs, and can clean the teeth normally.

使用本實施例之咀嚼式齒列矯正裝置時,病患係先配戴咀嚼單元1以進行齒列矯正,接著在取下咀嚼單元1之後,再配戴維持單元1’以維持矯正後的齒列。 When the chewing orthodontic device of the embodiment is used, the patient first wears the chewing unit 1 to perform dentition correction, and then after the chewing unit 1 is removed, the maintenance unit 1' is worn to maintain the corrected tooth. Column.

特別地,當病患配戴咀嚼單元1(第一、第二固定器100及200)時,可透過上、下排牙齒12及22所產生之一咀嚼力(occlusal force)(如第1A圖中之箭頭方向所示)來移動牙齒,以矯正齒列,此工作原理會於後面段落(配合第2A及2B圖)做詳細說明。 In particular, when the patient wears the chewing unit 1 (the first and second holders 100 and 200), one of the upper and lower rows of teeth 12 and 22 produces an occlusal force (as shown in FIG. 1A). The direction of the arrow in the direction) to move the teeth to correct the dentition, this principle of operation will be described in detail in the following paragraph (with Figures 2A and 2B).

當病患取下咀嚼單元1之後,並配戴維持單元1’(第一、第二定位器100’及200’)時,則可透過形成於第一、第二定 位器100’及200’內側的複數個凹槽結構R’(如第1B中對應於上、下排牙齒12及22的虛線所示)來維持矯正後的齒列。 When the patient removes the chewing unit 1 and wears the maintenance unit 1' (the first and second positioners 100' and 200'), it is permeable to the first and second sets. A plurality of groove structures R' on the inner sides of the receptacles 100' and 200' (as indicated by the dashed lines in the first and lower rows of teeth 12 and 22 in Fig. 1B) maintain the corrected tooth row.

值得一提的是,維持單元1’並非用以矯正齒列,而係搭配咀嚼單元1使用以維持矯正後的齒列。其中,該些凹槽結構R’(第二凹槽)之位置係對應於經過第一、第二固定器100及200矯正後的上、下排牙齒12及22之位置。本實施例之維持單元1’之第一、第二定位器100’及200’的硬度(solidity)係小於咀嚼單元1之第一、第二固定器100及200的硬度,使得第一、第二定位器100’及200’在上、下排牙齒12及22咀嚼時容易發生破損,故當病患配戴維持單元1’時不能進行咀嚼。 It is worth mentioning that the maintenance unit 1' is not used to correct the dentition, but is used in conjunction with the chewing unit 1 to maintain the corrected dentition. The positions of the groove structures R' (second grooves) correspond to the positions of the upper and lower rows of teeth 12 and 22 corrected by the first and second holders 100 and 200. The solidity of the first and second positioners 100' and 200' of the maintaining unit 1' of the present embodiment is smaller than the hardness of the first and second holders 100 and 200 of the chewing unit 1, so that the first and the first The two positioners 100' and 200' are prone to breakage when the upper and lower rows of teeth 12 and 22 are chewed, so that the patient cannot chew when wearing the maintenance unit 1'.

於本實施例中,第一、第二固定器100及200之材料例如為適合用於口腔之複合樹脂(orthodontic resin),而第一、第二定位器100’及200’之材料可包括熱塑性塑膠、合成樹脂、或其他適合用於口腔之材料。 In this embodiment, the materials of the first and second holders 100 and 200 are, for example, an orthodontic resin suitable for use in the oral cavity, and the materials of the first and second positioners 100' and 200' may include thermoplastic Plastic, synthetic resin, or other materials suitable for use in the oral cavity.

接著請參見第2A圖及第2B圖,第2A圖顯示前述咀嚼單元1之第一、第二固定器100及200咬合時的示意圖,第2B圖顯示第2A圖中X部分的放大圖。 2A and 2B, FIG. 2A is a schematic view showing the first and second holders 100 and 200 of the chew unit 1 being engaged, and FIG. 2B is an enlarged view showing a portion X in FIG. 2A.

應先瞭解的是,咀嚼單元1之第一、第二固定器100及200內側形成有複數個凹槽結構R(如第2A圖中對應於上、下排牙齒12及22的虛線所示),用以收容上、下排牙齒12及22。於本實施例中,凹槽結構R包括複數個非矯正部R1及至少一矯正部R2,其中非矯正部R1的位置係對應於上、下排牙齒12及22中非矯正的牙齒(即,不需矯正的牙齒)的位置,而矯正部R2(第一凹槽)的位置則由上、下排牙齒12及22中需矯正的牙齒所欲 矯正後的位置來決定。請參見第2A圖及第2B圖,本實施例中之病患僅有一下門牙22A為需矯正的牙齒,且下門牙20A所欲矯正後的位置係要稍微地朝內位移(如第2B圖中之箭頭方向所示),故矯正部R2與下門牙22A之間可形成有一適當大小的間隙G,以保留下門牙22A朝內位移的空間。 It should be understood that a plurality of groove structures R are formed inside the first and second holders 100 and 200 of the chewing unit 1 (as indicated by the dotted lines corresponding to the upper and lower rows of teeth 12 and 22 in FIG. 2A) For receiving upper and lower rows of teeth 12 and 22. In the present embodiment, the groove structure R includes a plurality of non-correcting portions R1 and at least one correcting portion R2, wherein the position of the non-correcting portion R1 corresponds to the non-corrected teeth of the upper and lower rows of teeth 12 and 22 (ie, The position of the tooth that does not need to be corrected, and the position of the correction portion R2 (first groove) is desired by the teeth to be corrected in the upper and lower rows of teeth 12 and 22. The position after correction is determined. Referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B, the patient in this embodiment has only the incisors 22A as the teeth to be corrected, and the position of the lower incisors 20A to be corrected is slightly displaced inward (eg, FIG. 2B). In the direction of the arrow in the middle, an appropriately sized gap G can be formed between the correcting portion R2 and the lower incisor 22A to retain the space in which the lower incisors 22A are displaced inward.

另外,矯正部R2與下門牙22A之間的間隙G更形成有一彈性件S(第2B圖),其材料可為軟性樹脂(soft resin)。其中,彈性件S的硬度小於第一、第二固定器100及200的硬度,也小於第一、第二定位器100’及200’(維持單元1’)的硬度。在實施上,彈性件S可以例如黏貼方式固定於矯正部R2的內側。較佳地,彈性件S可包覆需矯正的牙齒之整個牙冠。 Further, the gap G between the correcting portion R2 and the lower incisor 22A is further formed with an elastic member S (Fig. 2B), and the material thereof may be a soft resin. The hardness of the elastic member S is smaller than the hardness of the first and second holders 100 and 200, and is smaller than the hardness of the first and second positioners 100' and 200' (maintenance unit 1'). In practice, the elastic member S can be fixed to the inner side of the correcting portion R2, for example, in an adhesive manner. Preferably, the elastic member S can cover the entire crown of the tooth to be corrected.

接著,配合第1A圖、第2A圖及第2B圖說明本實施例之咀嚼單元1用以矯正齒列之工作原理。 Next, the working principle of the chewing unit 1 of the present embodiment for correcting the dentition will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A, 2A and 2B.

當病患配戴第一、第二固定器100及200以進行咀嚼時,由上、下排牙齒12及22所產生之一咀嚼力可透過第一、第二固定器100及200傳遞到牙周膜(periodontal membrane),並使得上、下排牙齒12及22之牙根部相對於連接的齒槽骨(圖未示)發生位移。 When the patient wears the first and second holders 100 and 200 for chewing, one of the chewing forces generated by the upper and lower rows of teeth 12 and 22 can be transmitted to the teeth through the first and second holders 100 and 200. The periodontal membrane causes the roots of the upper and lower rows of teeth 12 and 22 to be displaced relative to the connected alveolar bone (not shown).

接著,在第一、第二固定器100及200中,由於非矯正部R1的位置係對應於非矯正的牙齒的位置,故限制了非矯正的牙齒因前述咀嚼力作用而產生相對於齒槽骨之位移。相對地,矯正部R2與需矯正的牙齒(下門牙22A)之間形成有間隙G(佈設了彈性件S),故下門牙22A在前述咀嚼力作用下,可於矯正部R2內發生移動(如第2B圖中之箭頭方向所示),更具體來 說,下門牙22A可與彈性件S互動(mutual vibration),並於矯正部R2內進行擺動,進而得到所欲矯正後的齒列。於本實施例中,當需矯正的牙齒移動時,彈性件S可發生變形並具有緩衝咀嚼力之功能,故可減少齒列矯正時產生的疼痛感。 Next, in the first and second holders 100 and 200, since the position of the non-correcting portion R1 corresponds to the position of the non-corrected tooth, the non-corrected tooth is restricted from being generated by the aforementioned masticatory force with respect to the cogging. Displacement of the bone. In contrast, the gap between the correcting portion R2 and the tooth to be corrected (the lower incisor 22A) is formed with a gap G (the elastic member S is disposed), so that the lower incisor 22A can move in the correcting portion R2 under the action of the masticatory force ( As shown by the direction of the arrow in Figure 2B), more specifically It can be said that the lower incisor 22A can interact with the elastic member S and oscillate in the correcting portion R2 to obtain the dentition to be corrected. In the present embodiment, when the teeth to be corrected are moved, the elastic member S can be deformed and has a function of cushioning the chewing force, so that the pain generated during the correction of the dentition can be reduced.

值得一提的是,本實施例之咀嚼單元1用以矯正齒列之工作原理與傳統齒列矯正裝置完全不同。其中,本實施例之咀嚼單元1並非藉由非矯正的牙齒作為支錨碇端,並透過金屬線或牙套板扭曲產生力矩來使牙齒發生位移,而是透過上、下排牙齒之間所產生之一咀嚼力來直接地移動需矯正的牙齒,其中咀嚼力的方向大致垂直於咀嚼單元1之第一、第二固定器100及200的咬合側部。因此,本實施例之咀嚼單元1相較於傳統齒列矯正裝置,可在不影響非矯正的牙齒之情況下,精確、快速地矯正齒列。 It is worth mentioning that the working principle of the chewing unit 1 of the present embodiment for correcting the dentition is completely different from the conventional orthodontic device. Wherein, the chewing unit 1 of the present embodiment does not use the non-corrected tooth as the anchor end, and the tooth is displaced by the twist of the metal wire or the braces to generate the tooth, but is generated between the upper and lower teeth. One of the chewing forces directly moves the teeth to be corrected, wherein the direction of the chewing force is substantially perpendicular to the occlusal sides of the first and second holders 100 and 200 of the chewing unit 1. Therefore, the chewing unit 1 of the present embodiment can accurately and quickly correct the dentition without affecting the non-corrected teeth as compared with the conventional orthodontic device.

接著請參見第2A圖及第3圖,第3圖顯示第2A圖中之第一固定器100上之咬合點分布的示意圖。如第2A圖所示,第一固定器100具有一(第一)咬合側部B1,而第二固定器200具有一(第二)咬合側部B2,對應於第一咬合側部B1,其中第一咬合側部B1形成有一平面P1,第二咬合側部B2形成有複數個凸起P2,用以接觸平面P1。 Next, please refer to FIG. 2A and FIG. 3, which shows a schematic diagram of the distribution of the occlusal points on the first holder 100 in FIG. 2A. As shown in FIG. 2A, the first holder 100 has a (first) occlusal side portion B1, and the second holder 200 has a (second) occlusal side portion B2 corresponding to the first occlusal side portion B1, wherein The first occlusal side portion B1 is formed with a plane P1, and the second occlusal side portion B2 is formed with a plurality of protrusions P2 for contacting the plane P1.

當第一、第二固定器100及200相互咬合時(即,第一咬合側部B1接觸第二咬合側部B2時),第一固定器100上之複數個咬合點B(即,平面P1與該些凸起P2形成之複數個接觸點)呈一弧線狀分布(第3圖),且每一咬合點B的位置分別對應於上排牙齒中之每一牙齒的齒槽中央。 When the first and second holders 100 and 200 are engaged with each other (that is, when the first occlusal side portion B1 contacts the second occlusal side portion B2), the plurality of nip points B on the first holder 100 (ie, the plane P1) The plurality of contact points formed by the protrusions P2 are distributed in an arc shape (Fig. 3), and the position of each bite point B corresponds to the center of the tooth groove of each of the teeth in the upper row of teeth, respectively.

如此一來,第一、第二固定器100及200之間具有一中心咬合關係(centric occluding relation)。在此情況下,當病患配戴第一、第二固定器100及200以進行咀嚼時,平面P1與該些凸起P2可同時接觸(當第一咬合側部B1接觸第二咬合側部B2時)與同時分開(當第一咬合側部B1分離第二咬合側部B2時),從而避免第一、第二固定器100及200之間發生研磨(excursion)。同時,由於第一、第二固定器100及200係以最大有效接觸面積之方式進行咬合,亦可降低作用在第一、第二固定器100及200上的不當壓力,從而有效地改善病患配戴第一、第二固定器100及200時的效果。 As a result, the first and second holders 100 and 200 have a centric occluding relation. In this case, when the patient wears the first and second holders 100 and 200 for chewing, the plane P1 and the protrusions P2 can be simultaneously contacted (when the first occlusal side B1 contacts the second occlusal side At time B2), it is separated from the same time (when the first occlusal side portion B1 separates the second occlusal side portion B2), thereby avoiding occurrence of an excursion between the first and second holders 100 and 200. At the same time, since the first and second holders 100 and 200 are engaged by the maximum effective contact area, the improper pressure acting on the first and second holders 100 and 200 can be reduced, thereby effectively improving the patient. The effect when the first and second holders 100 and 200 are worn.

接著請參見第2A圖及第4圖,第4圖顯示第2A圖中之第一、第二固定器100及200於另一視角的示意圖。於本實施例中,第一固定器100更具有複數個(例如兩個)限位部100A,形成於第一固定器100之左、右頰側部上,其中各該些限位部100A於靠近舌側的位置形成有導引面(圖未示),用以導引第二固定器200。藉此,該些限位部100A可避免第二固定器200相對於第一固定器100發生左右晃動(當第一、第二固定器100及200相互咬合時)。應能瞭解的是,雖然第2A圖及第4圖中之限位部100A的位置係對應於上犬齒12C(第2A圖),但其亦可對應於上排牙齒12中之其他牙齒(例如小臼齒)。 Next, please refer to FIG. 2A and FIG. 4, which shows a schematic view of the first and second holders 100 and 200 in FIG. 2A from another perspective. In the embodiment, the first holder 100 further has a plurality of (for example, two) limiting portions 100A formed on the left and right buccal sides of the first holder 100, wherein each of the limiting portions 100A is A guiding surface (not shown) is formed at a position near the lingual side for guiding the second holder 200. Thereby, the limiting portions 100A can prevent the second holder 200 from shaking left and right relative to the first holder 100 (when the first and second holders 100 and 200 are engaged with each other). It should be understood that although the position of the limiting portion 100A in FIGS. 2A and 4 corresponds to the upper canine 12C (FIG. 2A), it may also correspond to other teeth in the upper row of teeth 12 (eg, Small molars).

請再回到第2A圖,於本實施例中,第一固定器100之第一咬合側部B1之厚度D1與第二固定器200之第二咬合側部B2之厚度D2的總和(即,D1+D2)係介於1.5毫米至2.5毫米之間。藉此,當病患配戴第一、第二固定器100及200時,連接第 二固定器200之下顎骨20仍可自然地朝下移動,並連帶地使得連接下顎骨20之顳顎關節(temporomandibular joint,TMJ)30向下放鬆(如第2A圖中之箭頭方向所示),如此亦可改善病患配戴第一、第二固定器100及200時的感受。 Returning to FIG. 2A, in the present embodiment, the sum of the thickness D1 of the first occlusal side portion B1 of the first holder 100 and the thickness D2 of the second occlusal side portion B2 of the second holder 200 (ie, D1+D2) is between 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm. Thereby, when the patient wears the first and second fixers 100 and 200, the connection is The tibia 20 under the second fixator 200 can still move naturally downward, and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) 30 that connects the lower tibia 20 is detached downward (as indicated by the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2A). This can also improve the feeling when the patient wears the first and second fixers 100 and 200.

補充說明的是,當病患配戴本實施例之咀嚼單元1(第一、第二固定器100及200)以進行齒列矯正時,係透過上、下排牙齒12及22所產生之一咀嚼力來移動牙齒,其中該咀嚼力相當大,故病患僅需配戴咀嚼單元1以咀嚼一短暫時間,例如每餐半小時左右,即可得到移動需矯正的牙齒所需要的足夠能量。接下來,病患僅需在餐後配戴維持單元1’以維持矯正後的齒列即可。反觀傳統齒列矯正裝置的配戴(矯正)時間必須每日20小時以上。特別地,由於本實施例之咀嚼單元1在齒列矯正過程中不會影響到非矯正的牙齒,因而更可精確地掌握矯正後的齒列,從而縮短矯正過程。 It is to be noted that when the patient wears the chewing unit 1 (the first and second holders 100 and 200) of the present embodiment for orthodontic correction, one of the upper and lower rows of teeth 12 and 22 is generated. Chewing force to move the teeth, wherein the chewing force is quite large, so the patient only needs to wear the chewing unit 1 to chew for a short time, for example, about half an hour per meal, to obtain sufficient energy for moving the teeth to be corrected. Next, the patient only needs to wear the maintenance unit 1' after the meal to maintain the corrected dentition. In contrast, the wearing (correction) time of the conventional orthodontic device must be more than 20 hours per day. In particular, since the chewing unit 1 of the present embodiment does not affect the non-corrected teeth during the dentition correction, the corrected dentition can be more accurately grasped, thereby shortening the correction process.

雖然前述實施例中之咀嚼式齒列矯正裝置僅包括單一咀嚼單元1及單一維持單元1’,但其亦可包括複數個對應的咀嚼單元1及維持單元1’,此係由病患所欲矯正之牙齒數量及位移量決定。具體來說,當病患所欲矯正之牙齒數量及位移量較大時,咀嚼式齒列矯正裝置需要包括較多個對應的咀嚼單元1(每一咀嚼單元1包括一第一及一第二固定器100及200)及維持單元1’(每一維持單元1’包括一第一及一第二定位器100’及200’),且矯正過程也會分成多個階段(每一階段對應一咀嚼單元1及一維持單元1’),以漸進地達到齒列矯正的效果。 Although the chewing orthodontic device of the foregoing embodiment includes only a single chewing unit 1 and a single maintaining unit 1', it may also include a plurality of corresponding chewing units 1 and a holding unit 1', which are desired by the patient. The number of teeth corrected and the amount of displacement are determined. Specifically, when the number of teeth and the amount of displacement of the patient to be corrected is large, the chewing orthodontic device needs to include a plurality of corresponding chewing units 1 (each chewing unit 1 includes a first and a second The holders 100 and 200) and the maintenance unit 1' (each of the maintenance units 1' includes a first and a second positioner 100' and 200'), and the correction process is also divided into a plurality of stages (one for each stage) The chewing unit 1 and a maintaining unit 1') progressively achieve the effect of orthodontic correction.

雖然前述實施例中之需矯正的牙齒僅為單一下門 牙,但其亦可包括上、下排牙齒中之任一或多個其他位置的牙齒。 Although the teeth to be corrected in the foregoing embodiments are only a single lower door Teeth, but it may also include teeth in any one or more of the upper and lower rows of teeth.

雖然前述實施例中之咀嚼式齒列矯正裝置之咀嚼單元1包括第一、第二固定器100及200,但其亦可包括單一固定器,裝於上排牙齒或下排牙齒。舉例來說,當病患之需矯正的牙齒僅位在上排牙齒或下排牙齒時,該病患可對應地配戴單一固定器於上排牙齒或下排牙齒,如此亦可藉由上、下排牙齒所產生之咀嚼力透過該固定器來使得需矯正的牙齒於固定器之矯正部(凹槽)內移動,以矯正齒列。同理,病患亦可在取下固定器後,再對應地配戴單一定位器於經過固定器矯正齒列後之該排牙齒,以維持其矯正後的齒列。 Although the chewing unit 1 of the chewing orthodontic device of the foregoing embodiment includes the first and second holders 100 and 200, it may also include a single holder for the upper or lower row of teeth. For example, when the patient needs to correct the teeth only in the upper row of teeth or the lower row of teeth, the patient can correspondingly wear a single fixture on the upper row of teeth or the lower row of teeth, so also by The chewing force generated by the lower row of teeth is transmitted through the holder to move the tooth to be corrected in the correction portion (groove) of the fixture to correct the dentition. Similarly, after removing the fixator, the patient can also wear a single locator corresponding to the row of teeth after the dentition through the fixator to maintain the corrected dentition.

進一步說明的是,當病患戴上本實施例之齒顎矯正單元,且第一定位器100”之第三咬合側部B1”接觸第二定位器200”之第四咬合側部B2”時,第二定位器200”之對應於下排牙齒22中之兩顆門牙22A及兩顆側門牙22B的定位器子單元202”及204”(第5圖及6B圖)可接觸第一定位器100”上之增厚部102”(第6A圖),而第二定位器200”上之該些增厚部206”(第6B圖)可接觸第一定位器100”上之該些增厚部104”(第6A圖)。 Further, when the patient wears the gingival correction unit of the embodiment, and the third occlusal side B1" of the first locator 100" contacts the fourth occlusal side B2" of the second locator 200" The locator subunits 202" and 204" (Figs. 5 and 6B) corresponding to the two incisors 22A and the two side incisors 22B of the lower row of teeth 22 of the second positioner 200" can contact the first positioner The thickened portion 102" on the 100" (Fig. 6A), and the thickened portions 206" (Fig. 6B) on the second positioner 200" can contact the thickening on the first positioner 100" Part 104" (Fig. 6A).

請參見第7圖,其顯示本實施例之齒顎矯正單元之工作原理示意圖。藉由上述結構設計,當第一定位器100”之咬合側部接觸第二定位器200”之咬合側部時,第一定位器100”之咬合側部上之增厚部102”及104”可形成複數個導引塊,而第二定位器200”之咬合側部上之定位器子單元202”及204”及增厚部206”可接觸導引塊102”及104”之導引面(為了簡化圖式,第7 圖中僅顯示單一導引面及接觸點)。此時,在彈性件500(第5圖)提供之彈力驅動下,可使得第二定位器200”沿著上述導引面相對於第一定位器100”進行滑動(如第7圖中之箭頭所示),以帶動連接第二定位器200”之下顎骨20相對於連接第一定位器100”之上顎骨10移動,並促使顳顎關節30回到適當的位置,以達到齒顎矯正的目的。 Please refer to FIG. 7, which shows a schematic diagram of the working principle of the gingival correction unit of the present embodiment. With the above structural design, when the occlusal side of the first positioner 100" contacts the occlusal side of the second locator 200", the thickened portions 102" and 104" on the occlusal side of the first locator 100" A plurality of guiding blocks may be formed, and the locator subunits 202" and 204" and the thickening portion 206" on the occlusal side of the second locator 200" may contact the guiding surfaces of the guiding blocks 102" and 104" (To simplify the schema, section 7 Only a single guide surface and contact point are shown in the figure). At this time, under the elastic force provided by the elastic member 500 (Fig. 5), the second positioner 200" can be slid along the guiding surface relative to the first positioner 100" (as indicated by the arrow in Fig. 7). Shown to drive the connection of the second locator 200" below the tibia 20 relative to the tibia 10 above the first locator 100" and to urge the ankle joint 30 back to the proper position for the purpose of gingival correction .

其中,當彈性件500(第5圖)之彈力驅使第二定位器200”相對於第一定位器100”向後向上(如第7圖中之Y軸、Z軸間之方向)移動時,可改善如第8A圖所示病患下顎骨20相對於上顎骨10過於前凸的情況;反之,當彈性件之彈力驅使第二定位器200”相對於第一定位器100”向前向下(如第7圖中之-Y軸、-Z軸間之方向)移動時,則可改善如第8B圖所示病患下顎骨20相對於上顎骨10過於後縮的情況。 Wherein, when the elastic force of the elastic member 500 (Fig. 5) drives the second positioner 200" to move backward relative to the first positioner 100" (as in the direction between the Y axis and the Z axis in Fig. 7), Improving the condition that the lower tibia 20 is too convex with respect to the upper tibia 10 as shown in Fig. 8A; conversely, when the elastic force of the elastic member drives the second locator 200" forward and downward relative to the first locator 100" ( When moving in the direction between the -Y axis and the -Z axis in Fig. 7, it is possible to improve the situation in which the tibia 20 is excessively retracted relative to the upper tibia 10 as shown in Fig. 8B.

雖然上述實施例中之複數個導引塊及導引面形成於第一定位器100”之第三咬合側部B1”上,但該些導引塊及導引面亦可形成於第二定位器200”之第四咬合側部B2”上。如此一來,當彈性件驅使第二定位器200”相對於第一定位器100”移動時,第一定位器100”亦可沿著導引塊之導引面相對於第二定位器200”移動,以調整連接第二定位器200”之下顎骨20與連接第一定位器100”之上顎骨10之間的相對位置。 Although the plurality of guiding blocks and the guiding surface are formed on the third occlusal side B1" of the first locator 100", the guiding blocks and the guiding surface may be formed in the second positioning. The fourth biting side B2" of the device 200". In this way, when the elastic member drives the second positioner 200" to move relative to the first positioner 100", the first positioner 100" can also move along the guiding surface of the guiding block relative to the second positioner 200" To adjust the relative position between the tibia 20 under the second locator 200" and the tibia 10 above the first locator 100".

另外,第一定位器100”之增厚部102”、104”及第二定位器200”之增厚部206”之設置位置及數量並不以第6A及6B圖之實施例為限制,其可根據病患狀況而做調整。 In addition, the positions and numbers of the thickened portions 102" and 104" of the first positioner 100" and the thickened portion 206" of the second positioner 200" are not limited by the embodiments of FIGS. 6A and 6B. It can be adjusted according to the patient's condition.

值得一提的是,在病患下顎骨20相對於上顎骨10 過於前凸的情況下,上排牙齒12中之第二大臼齒12F往往容易阻擋到下排牙齒22中之第二大臼齒22E(第8A圖),並造成裝於下排牙齒22之第二定位器200”被裝於上排牙齒12之第一定位器100”所卡住,而使得下顎骨20無法順利地相對於上顎骨10向後向上(如第7圖中之Y軸、Z軸間之方向)移動。 It is worth mentioning that under the patient, the tibia 20 is relative to the upper tibia 10 In the case of too lordosis, the second large molar 12F of the upper row of teeth 12 tends to block to the second largest molar 22E in the lower row of teeth 22 (Fig. 8A) and causes the second tooth 22 to be placed in the lower row. The positioner 200" is caught by the first positioner 100" of the upper row of teeth 12, so that the mandible 20 cannot be smoothly rearward relative to the upper jaw 10 (as in the Y-axis and the Z-axis in Fig. 7) The direction) moves.

因此,參見第6A及6B圖,第一定位器100”之第三咬合側部B1”上更可形成有兩個鏤空部106”,用以暴露上排牙齒12中之左右各一顆第二大臼齒12F,且第二定位器200”之第四咬合側部B2”上更可設有兩個隔開件208”,分別對應於第一定位器100”之該些鏤空部106”。需特別說明的是,當第一定位器100”之第三咬合側部B1”接觸第二定位器200”之第四咬合側部B2”時,該些隔開件208”可通過該些鏤空部106”並頂靠該些第二大臼齒12F,使得第一定位器100”與第二定位器200”被間隔開。如此一來,可排除上述第二定位器200”被第一定位器100”所卡住之問題,從而本實施例之齒顎矯正單元能夠順利地調整連接第二定位器200”之下顎骨20與連接第一定位器100”之上顎骨10之間的相對位置,以矯正齒顎。 Therefore, referring to Figures 6A and 6B, the third occlusal side portion B1" of the first locator 100" can be further formed with two hollow portions 106" for exposing the left and right teeth of the upper row of teeth 12 The large molar 12F, and the fourth occlusal side B2" of the second locator 200" can be further provided with two separating members 208" corresponding to the hollow portions 106" of the first locator 100". It should be particularly noted that when the third occlusal side B1" of the first locator 100" contacts the fourth occlusal side B2" of the second locator 200", the spacers 208" can pass through the hollows The portion 106" abuts against the second large molars 12F such that the first positioner 100" and the second positioner 200" are spaced apart. In this way, the problem that the second locator 200" is stuck by the first locator 100" can be eliminated, so that the gingival correction unit of the embodiment can smoothly adjust the tibia 20 under the second locator 200". The relative position between the humerus 10 above the first positioner 100" is connected to correct the gums.

於本實施例中,隔開件208”亦為一增厚部,且其製作方法與增厚層204”相同。另外,隔開件208”及鏤空部106”之設置位置及數量亦可作調整,舉例而言,隔開件208”亦可被形成於第一定位器100”之第三咬合側部B1”上,且對應於隔開件208”之鏤空部106”可被形成於第二定位器200”之第四咬合側部B2”上,以暴露部分之下排牙齒,使得隔開件208”可通過鏤空部106”並頂靠下排牙齒,進而間隔開第一定位器100”與第 二定位器200”,以排除上述第二定位器200”被第一定位器100”所卡住之問題。於部分實施例中,第三咬合側部B1”或第四咬合側部B2”上之鏤空部亦可能被省略。 In the present embodiment, the spacer member 208" is also a thickened portion and is fabricated in the same manner as the thickened layer 204". In addition, the position and number of the partitioning member 208" and the hollow portion 106" can also be adjusted. For example, the partitioning member 208" can also be formed on the third occlusal side portion B1 of the first positioner 100"" The hollow portion 106" corresponding to the partition member 208" may be formed on the fourth occlusal side portion B2" of the second locator 200" to expose a portion of the lower row of teeth so that the partition member 208" may Passing the hollow portion 106" and leaning against the lower row of teeth, thereby spacing the first positioner 100" and the Two positioners 200" to eliminate the problem that the second positioner 200" is stuck by the first positioner 100". In some embodiments, the third bite side B1" or the fourth bite side B2" The hollow part may also be omitted.

補充說明的是,雖然上述實施例中之齒顎矯正單元包括一第一定位器100”及一第二定位器200’,但其亦可僅包括單一定位器(當僅使用單一固定器矯正齒列時),裝於上排或下排牙齒(該定位器係對應地裝於經過單一固定器矯正齒列後之該排牙齒,以維持其矯正後的齒列),同時可將未配戴該定位器之該排牙齒之左頰側部及/或右頰側部上裝設固定勾部,並在該定位器之咬合側部(第三咬合側部)上或該排牙齒之咬合側部(第四咬合側部)上形成增厚部(導引塊)。如此一來,藉由彈性件之彈力作用,亦可驅使上排牙齒或下排牙齒與該定位器發生相對移動,以調整下顎骨與上顎骨之間的相對位置。 It should be noted that although the gingival correction unit in the above embodiment includes a first locator 100" and a second locator 200', it may also include only a single locator (when only a single holder is used to correct the teeth) When installed, it is attached to the upper or lower row of teeth (the positioner is correspondingly mounted on the row of teeth after a single holder to correct the dentition to maintain its corrected dentition), and can be worn unattended a fixing hook is arranged on the left cheek side and/or the right buccal side of the row of teeth of the positioner, and on the occlusal side (third occlusal side) of the locator or the occlusal side of the row of teeth a thickening portion (guide block) is formed on the portion (the fourth occlusal side portion). Thus, by the elastic force of the elastic member, the upper row of teeth or the lower row of teeth can be driven to move relative to the positioner, Adjust the relative position between the lower jaw and the upper jaw.

同理,亦可在該定位器之咬合側部(第三咬合側部)上或未配戴該定位器之該排牙齒之咬合側部(第四咬合側部)上形成隔開件,以間隔開上排牙齒或下排牙齒與該定位器,進而使得上排牙齒或下排牙齒與該定位器之間的相對移動可順利進行。 Similarly, a spacer may be formed on the occlusal side (the third occlusal side) of the locator or the occlusal side (the fourth occlusal side) of the row of teeth not wearing the locator, The upper or lower row of teeth and the positioner are spaced apart such that relative movement between the upper or lower row of teeth and the positioner can proceed smoothly.

前述第一、第二定位器100”及200”的型態亦包括但不限制為透明的、半透明的、非透明的、有色的(colored)、添加圖樣的(patterned)、開窗的(windowed)或非開窗的(non-windowed)等。 The types of the first and second positioners 100" and 200" described above also include, but are not limited to, transparent, translucent, non-transparent, colored, patterned, windowed ( Windowed) or non-windowed.
