Description

Orthodontic braces with raised portion

The present invention relates to an orthodontic brace with a bulge, especially a kind of orthodontic brace with a bulge that can greatly reduce the foreign body sensation in the oral cavity, and can be corrected by pressing down and pulling up.

Referring to FIG. 8, this is a traditional transparent braces 70, which can be set on at least one tooth 91 of the user, and then push or move some specific teeth 91. Of course, the aforementioned pushing and moving are all carried out successively. Usually, the transparent aligning braces 70 may be worn for 7 days, 14 days or other days each time. The stages are changed step by step, during which the dentist will also check the shifting effect step by step, and modify the follow-up structural design of pushing or moving the transparent braces 70 according to the situation.

Since the transparent aligner 70 is a transparent shell-like structure, when it is set on the teeth 91, it is easier to produce the effect of pushing forward or backward.

But, if this tooth 91 of certain one or several is too high, for example the height of certain two this tooth 91 in the 9th figure is respectively a first height L1 and a second height L2, than the adjacent ones. If the tooth 91 is too high, it needs to be pressed down (or pressed down in stages) to make the overall teeth look beautiful.

However, the lower pressure produced by the thin shell-like structure of the traditional transparent braces 70 is limited, so the lower pressure effect is not good.

Therefore, as shown in Fig. 10, a professional cuts two grooves 71 on the top of the traditional transparent braces 70, and cuts two slits 72 on the inner and outer edges of the transparent braces 70. (As shown in Fig. 10, only two slits 72 of the outer edge are shown, and the structure of the inner edge is the same, which is omitted and not shown, and will be shown first when combined), which is used to insert a rubber band 73. Utilize this rubber band 73 to produce bigger downward pressure then.

Yet this kind of tradition still has the following shortcomings with the mode of this groove 71, this slit 72 matching this rubber band 73:

[1] After being installed, the rubber band 73 may press the teeth or gums inwardly from adjacent to the slit 72, causing discomfort.

[2] The slit 72 is close to the teeth or gums, so that the sharp edges of the slit 72 may hurt the teeth or gums.

[3] If the slit 72 is too narrow, the rubber band 73 is not easy to fit or cannot fit.

In view of this, must develop the technology that can solve above-mentioned conventional shortcoming.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an orthodontic brace with a bulge, which can greatly reduce the foreign body sensation in the oral cavity, and can be corrected by pressing down and pulling up very conveniently. In particular, the problem to be solved by the present invention is that the rubber band after the conventional orthodontic braces are put in may press the teeth or gums inwardly from adjacent to the incision, causing discomfort. And the incision is close to the teeth or gums, so that the sharp edges may hurt the teeth or gums. If the slit is too narrow, then the rubber band is not easy to be inserted or cannot be inserted.

The technical means to solve the above-mentioned problems is to provide an orthodontic mouthpiece with a bulge, which includes: a mouthpiece structure with an outer shell, an inner shell and a top; the top is between the outer shell and the inner shell Between them, the three are connected as a whole to form a tooth accommodation space; at least one pair of raised structures are raised from the outer shell part and the inner shell part respectively towards the opposite direction of the tooth accommodation space, and form a tooth accommodation space respectively. A pair of raised outer walls and a pair of raised spaces; each raised outer wall of the pair of raised outer walls has two guide seams, and the two guide seams are connected to the corresponding raised spaces; and at least one opening is recessed It is on the brace structure and communicates with the tooth accommodating space.

The present invention is an orthodontic mouthpiece with bulges. Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, its first embodiment includes a mouthpiece structure 10, at least one pair of bulge structures 20 and at least one opening 30. Wherein: regarding the mouthpiece structure 10 , it has an outer shell portion 11 , an inner shell portion 12 and a top portion 13 . The top portion 13 is interposed between the outer shell portion 11 and the inner shell portion 12 , and the three are connected as one to form a tooth accommodating space S1 .

Regarding the at least one pair of raised structures 20, they respectively rise from the outer shell portion 11 and the inner shell portion 12 toward the opposite direction of the tooth accommodating space S1, and form a pair of raised outer walls 21 and a pair of raised spaces S2 respectively. ; Each raised outer wall 21 of the pair of raised outer walls 21 has two guiding slits 211, and the two guiding slits 211 communicate with the corresponding raised space S2.

The at least one opening 30 is recessed on the mouthpiece structure 10 and communicates with the tooth accommodating space S1.

Practically, the tooth accommodating space S1 is for the mouthpiece structure 10 to be sleeved on at least one tooth 91 .

Further, the orthodontic braces with bulges further include: an elastic ring-shaped structure 40, which is sheathed on the four guiding seams 211 and the at least one opening 30, and a part of the elastic ring-shaped structure 40 It is accommodated in at least one of the tooth accommodating space S1 and the pair of raised spaces S2, and is used to generate a compressive force on the at least one tooth 91, that is, a downward-pressing correction structure (the first embodiment of the present case) ).

Regarding the second embodiment of this case, please refer to the 4th and 5th figures, the difference between it and the first embodiment is only that the at least one opening 30 is two, and the elastic loop structure 40 is sleeved on the In principle, the four guiding slits 211 and the two openings 30 can achieve a better correction effect than that of the first embodiment.

Regarding the third embodiment of this case (that is, the rectification structure of the pull-up type), please refer to the 6th and 7th figures. The difference between it and the first embodiment is that the shell part 11 can have a shell again Bottom edge 111 .

The inner shell portion 12 can further have an inner shell bottom edge 121 .

There are two at least one opening 30 , which are respectively recessed into the brace structure 10 from the bottom edge 111 of the outer shell and the bottom edge 121 of the inner shell.

Furthermore, the orthodontic braces with protruding parts further include: at least two auxiliary fixing structures 50 respectively provided corresponding to the two openings 30 .

Thereby, the at least two auxiliary fixing structures 50 correspond to the two openings 30 and are respectively fixed to the corresponding teeth 91 . The elastic ring structure 40 is sheathed on the four guiding slits 211 and the at least two auxiliary fixing structures 50, so as to achieve the correcting effect opposite to that of the first embodiment.

Moreover, no matter which of the aforementioned embodiments, each raised outer wall 21 can have two accommodation holes 212, which are respectively connected to the two guide slots 211, for accommodating from the corresponding guide slots 211. The elastic ring structure 40 is introduced.

The present invention has the following two correction methods:

[a] Push-down type correction: Refer to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, use the tooth accommodating space S1 to set the mouthpiece structure 10 on the at least one tooth 91 (actually, most are set in rows of teeth). Then, the elastic ring-shaped structure 40 is sleeved on the four guiding slits 211 and the at least one (or two) openings 30. At this time, a part of the elastic ring-shaped structure 40 is accommodated in the tooth accommodating space S1, In at least one of the pair of elevated spaces S2, a compressive force is generated due to being pulled apart (as shown by the downward pressure arrow in Figures 1 and 4), and the at least one tooth 91 can be pressed down by the compressive force. the correction.

[b] Pull-up orthodontics: refer to Figures 6 and 7, and also use the tooth accommodating space S1 to sleeve the brace structure 10 on the at least one tooth 91 . Then, the elastic loop structure 40 is sleeved on the four guiding slits 211 and the at least two auxiliary fixing structures 50. Similarly, a part of the elastic loop structure 40 is also accommodated in the pair of raised spaces S2 (also It is possible to enter the tooth accommodating space S1) through the opening 30. At this time, the elastic ring structure 40 is pulled apart to generate a pulling force, and the pulling force can be used to correct the at least one tooth 91 by pulling it up.

The part that needs to be specifically explained here is that the rubber band is tied to the braces, and the angle of the braces is often tilted or turned up due to the tension, causing a foreign body sensation inside the mouth, and may even hurt the tongue or the inside of the mouth. In this case, for this part, the pair of bulge structures 20 are integrally formed from the brace structure 10, because it is integrally formed, and the surface or edge has no sharp angles, which can reduce the foreign body sensation. Two, the ends of the two guiding slits 211 are provided with the receiving hole 212, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the elastic ring-shaped structure 40 (rubber band) in principle to accommodate the elastic ring-shaped structure 40, which can greatly reduce the guide The slit 211 is stretched and deformed by the elastic ring structure 40 , thereby causing a problem of foreign body sensation.

Advantage and effect of the present invention can be summarized as follows:

[1] Can significantly reduce the foreign body sensation in the mouth. In this case, the pair of raised structures are integrally formed from the brace structure, which greatly reduces the sharp angle of the surface or edge and reduces the foreign body sensation. In addition, the accommodating hole is provided at the end of the two guiding slits, the hole diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the elastic ring-shaped structure, and can be used to accommodate the elastic ring-shaped structure, greatly reducing the expansion of the guiding slit by the elastic ring-shaped structure And deformation, and then produce the problem of foreign body sensation. Therefore, it can greatly reduce the foreign body sensation in the oral cavity.

[2] It is very convenient to correct by pressing down and pulling up. This case can have the following two correction methods: Press-down correction: first, use the tooth accommodating space to set the brace structure on the at least one tooth; then set the elastic ring structure on the four guiding seams And on the at least one opening, the elastic ring-shaped structure that can be pulled apart generates a compressive force, and the at least one tooth is corrected by pressing down.

Pull-up correction: when the elastic ring-shaped structure is inserted into the four guiding seams and the at least two auxiliary fixing structures, it becomes a pull-up correction for the at least one tooth. Therefore, it is very convenient to correct by pressing down and pulling up.

The above is only a detailed description of the present invention through preferred embodiments, and any simple modifications and changes made to the embodiments will not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
