Description

Corrective structure of invisible braces (2)

This creation is about a corrective structure for invisible braces, especially a corrective structure for patients with malocclusion and deep bite. It can customize the integration of correction factors, and integrate the customized correction structure that suits the patient through CNC machining. On the invisible braces, a one-time correction is applied, which effectively shortens the correction time for its creator and application.

Press, an ideal bite, for the front teeth, the lower row of teeth bites on the inside of the upper row of teeth, for the rear teeth, it is the relative relationship between the upper row and the lower row, and the bite is in the position where the upper and lower rows of teeth are fitted with each other. ; If the upper and lower rows of internal and external occlusal positions are reversed, or the entire occlusion of the upper and lower rear teeth is on the outside of the lower row, it is called a misocclusion. Anterior misbiting often occurs when the lower jaw grows too much or the upper jaw is underdeveloped, so the front teeth of the lower jaw move forward with the lower jaw and run to the outside of the front teeth of the upper jaw. , Sometimes it can be seen that the gingival recession of the front teeth is caused by the lack of occlusion of the front teeth. In addition, there is also a problem of "gap" between the upper jaw and the lower jaw. When the upper jaw arch is much larger than the lower jaw arch, it is easy to have a deep bite problem. A deep bite usually results in a deeper bite, which also affects the development of bones and face shape. It will also cause excessive wear on the front and rear teeth of the lower jaw. In severe cases, it will also affect the upper jaw and the temporomandibular joint.

From this, it can be known that the neatly arranged teeth, in addition to being more beautiful in appearance, can also reduce unnecessary wear between the teeth, reduce the dead space of brushing, or reduce the burden on the jaw joints. Therefore, the congenitally poorly aligned teeth must be moved and arranged to the best position through the medical behavior of orthodontic treatment, and the aligner is an indispensable and important component of orthodontic treatment.

In the traditional orthodontic process, the orthodontic device used to connect the orthodontic wire that is bent into the shape of the dental arch is mainly glued on the surface of the tooth, and then the continuous force exerted by the orthodontic wire is applied, or the bone nail is driven. Use elastic dental floss to gradually change the arrangement of the teeth; for example, the treatment method of malocclusion requires the front teeth of the lower jaw to be moved back and the front teeth of the upper jaw moved forward to improve the relationship. Plates, tongue depressors and bone nails are used to correct the occlusion. For deep occlusion, the occlusal height of the posterior teeth needs to be adjusted to support the anterior teeth and increase the occlusal space above and below the anterior teeth. Usually, a special movable orthodontic device is required to raise the occlusion. The replanted bone screw is used with the rubber band between the jaws to pull back or make a larger penetration in the front teeth. However, there are many problems with the use of the above-mentioned aligners; such as being unsightly, having a certain volume and thickness that makes the wearer uncomfortable, or the edges of which are easy to scratch the tongue or cheeks, causing skin breakage or mucosal ulcers… And other issues.

With the advancement of orthodontic technology and materials, a more beautiful orthodontic method of Clear Aligner has been developed. This method uses photographic scanning technology to complete a 3D three-dimensional view of the orthodontic teeth, and then corrects the teeth. The treatment is simulated, and according to the shape of the orthodontic teeth at each stage of the treatment, a number of invisible braces are made with different shapes only at the orthodontic teeth. Fitted on the outside of the dentition, there will be no foreign body sensation or scratching of the mucous membranes in the oral cavity when wearing it. Correction is performed by gradually changing the position of the teeth by wearing different shapes of braces one by one.

Although the above-mentioned invisible braces can achieve beautiful and comfortable effects, because the invisible braces are only covered on the dentition, the correcting effect is mainly twisting the teeth or pushing the teeth, and cannot be used for patients with wrong bite or deep bite. However, the teeth that are too short (high) are raised (lowered) for correction, so the use of teeth correction is relatively limited, and the effect of correction is not as expected. This is a topic that must be studied in the current field of invisible braces.

The reason is that the creator, in view of this, upholds many years of rich experience in design, development and actual production in the related industry, researches and improves the shortcomings of the previous structure, and provides a corrective structure for invisible braces, in order to achieve better practical value. By.

The main purpose and effect of this creation of the corrective structure of invisible braces are achieved by the following specific technical means:

It mainly includes a mouthpiece body that is hung on the teeth to correct teeth, the mouthpiece body has an anterior tooth portion and two rear tooth portions, and a thickening structure is arranged at the front tooth portion adjacent to the lingual side, and the The thickening structure is used to guide the wrong bite and deep bite teeth back to the correct position; thereby, it can effectively correct and improve the front and rear and vertical distances of the incisors, and restore the normal bite, normal diet and aesthetic function of the dentition.

The present invention is a preferred embodiment of the orthodontic structure for invisible braces, wherein the thickening structure of the brace body is an arc protruding portion, and the arc protruding portion corresponds to the teeth of the upper jaw misbiting, so that the upper jaw teeth can be slowly adjusted. Turn out the guide in the correct position.

In a preferred embodiment of the orthodontic structure of the invisible braces, the rear teeth portion of the brace body is provided with a height-increasing height portion, and the height-enhancing portion provides the front teeth for the upper jaw when the upper and lower jaws are occluded. The space in which the teeth move out.

In a preferred embodiment of the orthodontic structure for invisible braces, the thickening structure of the brace body is a flat guide portion, and the flat guide portion moves downward corresponding to the teeth that hold the lower jaw to be bitten deeply, so as to move the lower jaw downward. guide in the correct position.

In order to make the technical content used in this creation, the purpose of creation and the effect achieved in this creation more completely and clearly disclosed, it is explained in detail below, and please refer to the disclosed drawings and drawing numbers together:

First of all, please refer to the third figure, which is an exploded schematic diagram of the three-dimensional appearance of the orthodontic structure of the invisible braces of this creation, which mainly includes a brace body (1) that is worn and hung on the teeth to correct the teeth, and the brace body ( 1) Having a front tooth portion (11) and a rear tooth portion (12) extending from both sides of the front tooth portion (11), wherein:

A thickening structure (111) is provided at the lingual side of the front teeth (11) corresponding to the human tongue, and the thickening structure (111) is used to guide the teeth to be corrected to return to normal dentition.

Please refer to the first to third pictures. When the corrective structure of invisible braces is used, it can be used in two implementation states of correcting malocclusion and deep biting. The details are as follows:

Example 1, when used in correcting malocclusion, please refer to the first and second figures. The figure shows one of the states of the anterior teeth misbite (A). The anterior teeth malocclusion often occurs when the lower jaw grows. There are too many or underdeveloped upper jaws, so the front teeth of the lower jaw move forward with the lower jaw and run to the outside of the front teeth of the upper jaw; this is the most common type of misbiting cases, and of course there are only single-tooth incisor misbiting, etc. In different cases, when implementing this creation, the thickening structure (111) of this creation can be implemented at the place where the teeth are to be corrected.

In the implementation of the first embodiment, the wearing system of the invisible braces needs to be replaced gradually, and the adjustment is made according to the moving position of the teeth. It is an arc convex portion (111A), which is 3D scanned and CNC processed to customize the mouthpiece body (1) according to the patient’s misbited teeth position, angle, depth, etc., using the arc convex portion (111A). 111A) Push it against the misbiting teeth of the upper jaw, guide it and then push it out gradually [as shown in the third to fifth pictures], so that the upper jaw teeth can be slowly turned out and guided to the correct position.

In addition, in order to allow the front teeth (11) to have a proper space (S) for movement during the orthodontic process, the rear teeth (12) of the mouthpiece body (1) are provided with a height-increasing booster (121), so The elevated portion (121) provides a movable space (S) for the anterior teeth portion (11) to move out of the upper jaw teeth when the upper and lower jaws are occluded.

Example 2, when it is used to correct deep bite, please refer to the sixth figure, which shows the state of deep bite (B) of the dentition in the anterior region, the occlusion of the anterior region overlaps, and the upper front teeth and the lower jaw are The overlapping range of the anterior teeth is too large, covering more than half of the front teeth of the lower jaw; patients with deep bites often wear the lower incisors, resulting in shortened incisal margins that affect the appearance and chin position, or the lower incisors bite on the jaw side of the upper incisors Injure the gums.

In the implementation of the second embodiment, the wearing system of the invisible braces needs to be replaced gradually, and the adjustment is made according to the moving position of the teeth. It is a flat guide part (111B), which is 3D scanned and CNC processed to customize the mouthpiece body (1) according to the patient's misbited teeth position, deep bite distance, etc., using the flat guide part (111B) ) to move the teeth where the lower jaw is deeply bitten down, so that the lower jaw gradually descends [as shown in the seventh to eighth pictures], so as to guide the lower jaw to the correct position.

The foregoing embodiments or drawings do not limit the structure of the present creation, and any appropriate changes or modifications made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field should be regarded as not departing from the patent scope of the present creation.
