Definitions
- the present invention relates to an orthodontic bracket with a base on which a cover is articulated, which covers a slot for an arch wire.
- brackets are generally known from the prior art (cf. US 4,712,999).
- the joint between the base and cover can be formed by reducing the material cross sections in the joint area.
- hinges which are also known as film hinges, the bracket can be made compact.
- cover and base can be connected to one another via a plug-in connection, so that the cover and base can be separated without tools.
- the cover can be connected to the base via a tongue and groove connection, for example in the form of a dovetail. This makes it possible to attach the cover to the base via the plug-in connection.
- the groove or the tongue can also be designed so that a press fit is ensured when fully inserted.
- This last-mentioned embodiment variant has the advantage that subsequent attachment of the cover to the base is possible, which can be advantageous in certain tooth positions with limited space. With this embodiment it is also possible to remove the cover from the base in a simple manner and, if necessary, to replace it with a further cover which is merely placed on the base. Such a procedure is advantageous if it is not or no longer possible to pivot the cover around the base due to the limited space available.
- a spring element is provided on the bracket, which supports the closing and opening movement of the cover. This ensures that the cover is held in the open position by the spring element, so that the opened cover does not hinder the insertion of the arch wire.
- the spring element is preferably connected in one piece to the base and the cover.
- the spring element is connected to the base and the cover via joints, which are preferably formed by reducing the material cross-sections in the joint area. This results in a compact design of the bracket despite the provision of the spring element. Inexpensive production is ensured by the possibility of producing the bracket in one piece, for example as a plastic injection molded part.
- the spring element in the closed state of the cover is fully integrated into it, so that the bracket has no protruding parts or edges in the closed state. This increases the wearing comfort significantly, since there are no edges that could have a disruptive effect on the patient's mouth.
- the cover can have an outwardly open, but inwardly closed recess, in which the spring element is completely accommodated in the closed state of the cover.
- Spring element to the outside of the cover is fully integrated into this, so that there is a comfortable way of wearing for the patient.
- the cover in the area of the spring element is fully constantly closed, ie no food residues or the like can penetrate into the interior of the cover.
- a reinforcement insert is provided in the area of the slot at the base, which is preferably made of a metallic material.
- a reinforcement insert can be incorporated into the base material of the bracket during the manufacturing process, for example by injection molding with plastic. This ensures that the forces acting in the area of the arch wire are transmitted without losses to the base and thus to the tooth to be corrected.
- the manufacturing costs are further reduced here as well, since the bracket can be made entirely of plastic and only the reinforcing part is made of hard material, for example metal.
- the bracket according to the invention is preferably self-alloying, i.e. the arch wire is clamped between the cover and the base.
- the arch wire is clamped between the cover and the base.
- arch wires with different cross-sections can be inserted into the slot and fixed there by closing the cover.
- the cover covers the base along the entire outer contour and preferably extends to approximately the bottom of the base. This ensures that no contaminants (food residues) can get inside the bracket. By a smooth, edge-free shaping of the cover can increase the wearing comfort significantly.
- this comprises an orthodontic bracket set which comprises at least one bracket of the type mentioned above and a second, separate cover.
- This second cover does not have a molded-on spring element but latching elements for attachment to the base, so that this second cover can be placed on the base as an alternative to the cover firmly connected to the base after the first-mentioned cover has been removed from the base, for example by a scalpel. was separated.
- Such a set of brackets enables the originally intended cover to be separated and the cover to be replaced by a separate cover which is simply pressed onto the base in the case of limited space.
- FIG. 1 shows a section through an orthodontic bracket with the cover open.
- FIG. 2 shows a section through the bracket from FIG. 1 with the cover closed;
- 3 shows a section through the bracket of FIG. 1 with an alternative cover which is not integrally connected to the base;
- FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of a further embodiment of a bracket
- Fig. 5 shows the bracket of Fig. 4 in the closed state.
- the orthodontic bracket shown in Figures 1 and 2 is made in one piece as a plastic injection molded part and has an anvil-shaped base 10 in cross section to which a cover 20 is articulated.
- a slot 11 is provided which is open towards the top thereof and serves for inserting an arc wire 15.
- a reinforcing insert 13 is provided, which consists of a metallic material and has an approximately U-shaped cross section. The reinforcing insert 13 is extrusion-coated with the base material of the bracket during the manufacturing process.
- the arch wire 15 Arranged in the interior of the slot 11 is the arch wire 15, which is square in cross section and which serves to correct the teeth in a known manner.
- the cover 20 forms a hood which is approximately L-shaped in cross section and is integrally connected to the base 10 via a film hinge 2a.
- a film hinge 2a there are two opposite outlet openings in the cover 10, not shown in FIGS. 1-4, with an insertion slot adjoining the lower edge of the cover (see FIGS. 32 "and 34" in FIG. 5) for the passage of the Arch wire tes 15 provided.
- a spring element 23 with an approximately L-shaped cross section is articulated via a joint 8a in the region of the base 30 of the base 10, specifically via a film hinge which, in the same way as the film hinge 2a during injection molding, by a corresponding reduction in the material cross sections in the joint region is trained.
- the spring element 23 is articulated via a further film hinge 8b of the same design approximately in the middle of the cover 20 on the outside thereof.
- the spring element 23 is completely integrated into the cover 20, as a result of which the spring element 23 together with the cover 20 form a hood-shaped, closed protective shell surrounding the entire outer contour of the base 10.
- an outwardly open but inwardly closed recess 24 is provided on the outside thereof, in which the spring element 23 is completely accommodated in the closed state of the cover 20 such that the upper side of the cover 20 and spring element 23 form a uniform, continuous surface.
- a plurality of locking recesses 16 are provided, with the aid of which the cover 20 can snap into a locking lug 17 of the base 10.
- a holding cam 14 is provided in the center of the cover 20 on the inside, which, in the closed state (FIG. 2), fixes the arch wire 15 in the slot 11.
- the fixation takes place only by closing the cover 20 and latching the locking recess 16 over the locking lug 17, ie the bracket is self-alloying.
- the film hinge 8b which serves as a joint, moves when the cover 20 is opened and closed on a circular arc with the radius Ri. If the spring element 23 were not connected to the cover 20, the joint axis would move of the film hinge 8b when rotating about the axis of the film hinge 8a on an arc with the radius R2. Due to its fixation on the cover 20, however, it inevitably moves on the circular arc with the radius Ri.
- the spring element 23 is elastically deformed when opening and closing, the maximum elongation preferably being achieved at approximately half the opening or closing angle , As a result, the spring force of the spring element 23 supports the opening and closing process of the cover 20 when this angle is exceeded or undershot in one or the opposite direction. When this angle is exceeded or undershot, the spring element 23 is expanded by the maximum path X. ,
- FIG. 3 shows a cross section through a bracket according to FIGS. 1 and 2, but the cover 20 was removed with the aid of a tool, for example a scalpel, by severing the film hinges 2a and 8a.
- a tool for example a scalpel
- Such a measure can be necessary in particular if a free opening of the cover 20 is not or no longer possible due to a specific tooth position.
- a second, separate cover 20 ' is provided according to the invention, which is approximately U-shaped in cross section and has on its inside a plurality of circumferential locking recesses 16' which can slide over the locking lug 17 of the base, as a result of which the cover 20 'snaps onto the base 10.
- the cover 20 ' is essentially hood-shaped and, like the cover, Cover 20 a holding cam 40 'on its inside, which holds the arch wire 15.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 Another embodiment of a bracket according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
- the base 10 shown corresponds to the base 10 of FIGS. 1 to 3, it being additionally apparent from FIG. 4 that in addition to the slot 11 for receiving the arch wire 15, a further slot 12 is provided which extends transversely thereto and which is known Way to fix the archwire can be used.
- the cover 20 “shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is also hood-shaped and integrally connected via a film hinge 8" b to a joint element 23 ", which is designed in the same way as the spring element 23 of the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 However, the element 23 "in the embodiment of FIGS. 4 and 5 does not act as a spring element but as a joint part.
- an outwardly open but inwardly closed recess 24" is provided, in which the element 23 "in the closed state of the cover 20" is fully absorbed.
- the previously mentioned outlet opening 32" can also be seen, to which an insertion slot extending to the lower edge of the cover 20 "can be seen 34 "connects, which serves for the passage of the arch wire 15.
- the cover 20 ′′ like the covers 20 and 20 ′, has two such insertion slots with an adjoining outlet opening. However, these elements are not shown in FIG. 4 for a simplified illustration.
