Definitions

  • This invention concerns the correction of orthodontic and morphologic malocclusions and other dental or jaw problems, both aesthetic and functional. More particularly the invention concerns problems that can be resolved by stimulating bone growth and altering the lower jaw position relative to the upper jaw, and other dental movements. Aspects of the invention concern a module, an appliance and methods for constructing them.
  • Class II malocclusions have long been a major part of orthodontic treatment.
  • Class II problems are when the upper teeth are significantly forward of the lower teeth. Such problems are often caused by an underdeveloped lower jaw. Studies suggest that approximately 70% of Class II problems are due to some deficiency in the lower jaw. Many approaches have been made to correct this problem.
  • the invention is a module and an appliance for the correction of orthodontic malocclusions.
  • the appliance comprises two or more modules.
  • Each module is formed of material that is shaped with a cavity to receive and closely fit over teeth on the upper or lower jaw of one side of the mouth.
  • Encased within each module is at least one magnet or ferromagnetic piece.
  • the magnet or ferromagnetic piece in the module is arranged to selectively attract or repel one or more further ferromagnetic piece or magnet respectively that is arranged within a further module or device to be fitted to the opposing jaw.
  • An advantage of using the appliance is that the magnets direct a patient's jaw into a desired position, even when they are asleep creating greater efficacy in their action. This in turn may reduce the duration over which the appliance is required to be fitted to the teeth, and further increasing its acceptability to patients. It also allows a more physiologic and functional adaptation to an ideal jaw position.
  • the appliance may also produce movement of the dentition, although in adults where growth is completed only dental and minor dento-alveolar movements will occur.
  • the magnet or ferromagnetic piece may be arranged within the module so that it is positioned above the occlusal surfaces of the teeth.
  • the magnet or ferromagnetic piece may be arranged within the module so that they are positioned on the buccal and/or palatal sides of the teeth.
  • the device may be comprised of material in which is encased the further ferromagnetic piece or magnet and is to be fitted to the opposing jaw using wires.
  • the wires may be suitably shaped to grip the teeth of the opposing jaw.
  • the device may be easily removable from the opposing jaw.
  • first magnet is encased in first module that is to receive upper or lower teeth on one side of the mouth
  • second and third magnet are encased in a second module that is to receive teeth of the other of the upper or lower teeth, on the same- side of the mouth.
  • the arrangement is such that the first and second magnets attract each other and the first and third magnets repel each other.
  • first and second magnet are encased in a first module that is to receive upper or lower teeth on one side of the mouth
  • a third and fourth magnet are encased in a second module that is to receive the other of the upper or lower teeth, on the same side of the mouth.
  • the first pair of the first and third magnets attract each other
  • the second pair of the second and fourth magnets attract each other.
  • the second and third magnets repel each other.
  • the magnet or ferromagnetic material may be of any dimension, shape and colour.
  • the magnets may be 2mm high and 6mm in diameter.
  • Cubiod magnets can also be used that are 7mm x 4mm x 4mm. Further, they may be flat with a north pole at the top and a south pole at the bottom or in any other magnetization direction and/or pattern.
  • Suitable magnets are neodymium, that is Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NdFeB), with a copper nickel coating.
  • Neodymium-Iron-Boron Neodymium-Iron-Boron
  • copper nickel coating any other suitable type of magnet, ferromagnetic material, and/or coating material can be used.
  • the magnets may be hermetically encapsulated before being encased in the modules.
  • two magnets or a magnet and ferromagnetic piece are to be encased in a module they may be mounted in advance on a wafer to space them apart by a preferred distance. This will also serve to hold them in place during the process of encasing them.
  • An effective distance to space the magnets or the magnet and ferromagnetic piece apart may be between 6mm to 9mm. If necessary, different separation distances and/or mechanisms to adjust the distance can be used.
  • the wafer may be made from a variety of materials, including plastics, thermoplastics, metallic, stainless steel, or ceramic material.
  • the magnets or the magnet and ferromagnetic piece may be mounted at opposite ends of the same side of the wafer.
  • the assembly of the magnets or the magnet and ferromagnetic piece and the wafer may be arranged in the module so that, when it is fitted to the teeth, the wafer protects the magnets from wear by the opposing teeth and seals them from saliva.
  • the coating material should be hard enough to resist the forces generated by normal function, but thin enough to not decrease the magnetic force between magnets.
  • the coating material can also be a ferro-magnetic material.
  • the magnets and/or ferromagnetic pieces may be arranged in the modules such that they may be moved between different positions.
  • the magnets and/or ferromagnetic pieces in the upper and lower modules may be arranged in a first position in which they exert magnetic attraction or repulsion between the upper and lower jaws that will cause a modification of the alignment of the jaw.
  • the magnets and/or ferromagnetic pieces may be repositioned to positions in which they are re-activated to apply different forces of magnetic attraction or repulsion, or both, between the upper and lower jaws to cause further modification of the alignment.
  • This arrangement also allows adjustment of the magnetic intensity or pattern during the course of treatment, as well as to find more efficient or comfortable positions.
  • the modules may be made of a number of materials that are suitable for the oral environment, including resin, acrylic, magnetic or non-magnetic stainless steel. A combination of different materials can also be used. Currently an acrylic material is preferred, such as methyl methacrylate.
  • the modules may be bonded directly to the teeth so that the bulk is minimized, and so that co-operation of the patient in putting the appliance on and off is avoided. Further, the material of the module may completely encase all inclusions in the module, such as the magnet and the reinforcement wire. That way the entire outer surface of the module is of the material that can be shaped and smoothed for patient comfort. Modules may also be incorporated and/or engaged in any removable or fixed orthodontic or medical appliance or device system.
  • the modules may be attached to two or more teeth, for example four teeth, to gain retention. Good retention enables the elimination of any bar running behind the front teeth, and so may increase comfort and reduces any effect of wearing the appliance on the patient's speech and swallowing patterns.
  • different wire, acrylic or other connection materials can be used if necessary.
  • Modules may have flat facing surfaces or they can be ramped.
  • a surface of the module facing an opposed further module or device may be shaped to provide mechanical reinforcement of the attraction or repulsion of the magnet.
  • the shape of the surface will depend on the need to provide a mechanical reinforcement of the desired correction.
  • the modules can be arranged with ramped facing ends, or incorporate complementary interengaging formations; possibly a gentle wave shape or a V or W shape to cause the upper and lower plates to come together in a way that simulates normal masticatory function.
  • Other possible formations include a step or a V shaped protrusion or recess.
  • Inner and outer surfaces of the modules may have any type of treatment to increase or decrease retention.
  • a single loop of wire strengthener may. be incorporated into the modules following the contours of the buccal and lingual gum margins. This provides strength to the modules during wear and keeps the modules intact upon removal post treatment.
  • the inner surfaces of the modules may be surface treated, such as sandblasted, so that when they are removed, the adhesive material that glues them to the teeth comes off with them and is not left attached to the patient's teeth. Surface treating also helps to increase the retention of the appliance.
  • a first module fitted with one magnet is attached to the lower teeth, and a second module with two magnets is attached to the upper teeth.
  • the upper front magnet is attracted to the lower magnet while the upper rear magnet repels the lower magnet.
  • the upper and lower modules (on each side of the mouth) are located so that the lower jaw is brought forward.
  • a module / attachment combination can also be used. Attachments can be magnetic or ferromagnetic.
  • Magnetic units may be incorporated in any other existing or future orthodontic or orthopaedic appliance that can be either fixed or removable.
  • the appliance may be used to treat open bites, particularly if a second repulsive magnet is incorporated into the lower module.
  • the appliance may be used to correct midline shifts, asymmetries and narrowness of the jaws.
  • Expansion or sagittal screws may be incorporated between the modules, for instance on the upper right and left hand side of the arches. The modules, because they can be small in size, can also promote the eruption of posterior teeth to help correct deep bite problems.
  • the appliance may be useful in stimulating implanted bone growth for the correction of hemifacial microsomia, which is severe skeletal underdevelopment of one side of the face.
  • Another area of application is for the treatment of Sleep Apnoea as the magnets are capable of maintaining the lower jaw in a forward position even when the patient is asleep.

  • the wire strengthener loops 30 are then positioned on to the prospective quadrants to be covered by acrylic and secured with a drop of hot wax on the most anterior and most posterior regions of where the wire strengtheners 30 are to be placed in order to secure the wire to avoid it dislocating during the acrylic processing.
  • a very small portion of a soft, sticky type of wax is rolled into balls of approximately 4mms in diameter and placed on to the designation spots on the lower casts bilaterally in the areas where the magnets are to be placed.
  • One magnet 20 is placed on each side on top of the sticky wax and is manipulated until it is as close as possible to the occlusal surface of the lower, ensuring that the top flat side of the magnet 20 is level and parallel to the occlusal plane.

  • the upper modules 25 contain both attractive 21 and repelling 22 magnets.
  • These two magnets 21 and 22 are mounted with opposite polarity at opposite ends of the same side of a thermoplastic wafer 50 with a predetermined space between the two magnets, around 6 mm. This spacing provides the necessary attractive and repelling forces which maintain the mandible of the patient in a protruded position.

  • the upper acrylic pouring technique is much the same as for the lower, the difference being that the upper magnets 21 and 22 are not secured to the stone cast with wax, but utilise the attractive force from the lower magnets 20 to position the forward upper magnets 21. It is essential that a layer of acrylic be poured up underneath the occlusal surface of the upper magnets 21 and 22 to ensure that they become totally encased in acrylic and are not exposed to the external environment. Once poured up, the upper modules 25 are cured in the same fashion as the lower modules 26. The occlusal surface of the upper modules 25 is determined by the contouring of the lower modules 26.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un module (25) ou (26) et un appareil (12) pour la correction de malocclusions dentaires. L'appareil (12) comprend quatre modules. Chaque module (25, 26) est formé d'un matériau formant une cavité afin de recevoir et de s'ajuster étroitement sur les dents respectives de la mâchoire supérieure ou inférieure (10, 12) d'un côté de la bouche. Enchâssé dans chaque module (25, 26) se trouve au moins un aimant (21, 22, 20, 27). Le ou les aimants du module sont disposés pour soit attirer, soit repousser de manière sélective le ou les aimants dans le module devant être ajusté sur la mâchoire opposée (voir la Fig. 6). Les aimants dirigent les mâchoires d'un patient vers une position souhaitée, même lors de son sommeil, et ceci entraîne une action plus efficace. Ceci peut à son tour réduire la durée nécessaire au port de l'appareil sur les dents, et en outre améliorer son acceptabilité par les patients. Ceci permet également une adaptation plus physiologique et fonctionnelle à une position idéale de la mâchoire. L'appareil peut également produire un mouvement de la dentition, même si, chez les adultes où la croissance est achevée, seuls des mouvements dentaires et dento-alvéolaires mineurs vont se produire.
