Definitions
- the innovation relates to an orthodontic device for moving and / or placing teeth in the dental arch with a plastic element for tooth contacting or tooth movement, wherein the plastic element consists of a hard plastic material.
- the innovation is based on the object to offer an orthodontic device, which is particularly easy to use and inexpensive to produce.
- the renewal orthodontic device has at least one for connecting adjacent plastic elements Soft plastic element to which at least one or more adjacent hard plastic elements are attached.
- the soft plastic element thus serves as a connection and "bridge" between adjacent hard plastic elements. This means that adjacent hard plastic elements are elastically connected and can be used by the user when using the orthodontic appliance by attachment to the teeth of the user and positive connection of the respective hard plastic elements with the individual teeth by elastic stress A force which acts as a correction force on the teeth received in the hard plastic elements can be built up in the soft plastic elements The soft plastic element can thus produce an elastic connection between adjacent hard plastic elements.
- the soft plastic element can partially or completely cover the hard plastic element, so that it can be determined in which areas of the hard plastic element a connection with the soft plastic element is present and at which point and in what manner an elastic connection between adjacent hard plastic elements are produced should.
- the soft plastic element also extends beyond the hard plastic elements into the area of the gums and serves to support the orthodontic appliance and to build up the respective corrective force acting on the teeth.
- the hard plastic element of the orthodontic appliance can have at least one recess in order to receive a contact element, which is attached in particular to a tooth to be extruded.
- the recess of the hard plastic element connects to the contact element and in the contact element, a force is introduced into the tooth, which leads to the desired extrusion of the tooth.
- the contact element is in particular, e.g. by gluing attached to the tooth to be extruded and consists in particular of plastic.
- 1 is a side view of a dental arch
- Fig. 2 is a plan view of a dental arch
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view A-A of Fig. 2nd
- Fig. 1 shows (dashed) a (transparent) orthodontic device 1, which is placed on the teeth 2 of a dental arch and this covers.
- the respective tooth 2 is held positively by a hard plastic element 3 (cf., Fig. 2) and above the hard plastic element 3 is a - A -
- Soft plastic element 4 (e.g., as a film layer bonded to the hard plastic element 3 by adhesion or adhesion).
- the orthodontic appliance 1 can be partially connected with each other
- Hard plastic elements 3 see areas 5 and 6 according to Fig. 3).
- regions 7 may be provided which consist of both soft plastic elements 4 and 3 of hard plastic elements, in which case in particular the hard plastic elements 3a and 3b separately from each other to receive the respective corresponding teeth 2a and 2b and are not directly connected, but via an elastic connection via the soft plastic element 4.
- a contact element 8 can be provided on the respective tooth 2, which can be positively connected to the corresponding recess 9 of a hard plastic element 3, whereby an extrusion force in direction 10 is extruded on the hard plastic element 3 and the contact element 8 Tooth 2 is exerted (see Fig. 3).
- the orthodontic appliance 1 may comprise at least two layers, namely the hard plastic element 3 and the overlying soft plastic elements 4 a.
- the hard plastic elements 3 may be adjusted for further adjustment of the between the hard plastic elements
- the orthodontic appliance 1 can be reworked step by step, and one or more further soft plastic elements 4 (for example as a foil-like soft plastic element 4b) can subsequently be applied to the soft plastic elements 4a in a further processing step.
- one or more further soft plastic elements 4 for example as a foil-like soft plastic element 4b
- the orthodontic appliance 1 is inexpensive expandable and the desired correction forces can be built up gradually over the "growing" soft plastic element compound depending on the time desired correction process.
