Abstract

The invention relates to a calibrated pressure pliers for orthodontics, forming part of a kit including stops for correcting dental malocclusions, which, owing to the novel design thereof, can be used to measure between a tooth/bracket/arch/attachment or stop, in order to enable the elements required for the planned dental movement to be positioned precisely with the aid of markings, said device being divided into millimetres. A novel exchangeable blade enables the use of a pair of new blades, ensuring that the instrument is always optimally sharpened and enabling a level of performance excellence to be achieved, with the advantage that the pliers can be used as a cutting implement or, by removing the blade from body of the pliers, as a calibrated pressure pliers for orthodontics.

Description

"COVERED CLAMP FOR ORTOBONCIA"

Technical Field

The present invention has its technical field in mechanics more specifically in Orthodontics because it provides a novel clamp which was created to reduce the effective working time by not having to change the necessary instruments to measure exact distances between teeth and the application of necessary attachments for the planned dental movement within the treatment of our patient.

BACKGROUND

In Orthodontics the spaces to be measured must be exact, not an approximation, since small errors produce very obvious and notorious movements in the treatment, with which you have to be very aware, that you cannot play since you are at risk the dental apparatus of our patient.

Taking into account all this, this clamp was created, which will be very useful in our consultation, since with it we can measure with accuracy to be able to mark the exact place where to apply our necessary elements for the greater effectiveness in the treatment.

Reducing in less fatigue of our patient and reducing time and movements, which obviously will provide less fatigue of the orthodontist and greater effectiveness in his office, and can increase the number of patients treated optimally. In turn, it is a pressure clamp that is part of the Kit With Bumpers To Correct Dental Malocclusions With Preformed Nitinol Bows, for which in its application it will be very useful, since it will serve to deform the silver spherical, through to press hard, thus giving it the convenient form forming the stop, to perform its function in our Nitinol arc and in the treatment of our patient.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The characteristic details of this new clip are clearly shown in the following description and in the accompanying drawings, as well as an illustration of that and following the same reference signs to indicate the parts and figures shown.

Brief Description of the figures

Figure 1 is a conventional front perspective view of the caliper calibrated for orthodontics. Figure 2 - Rear perspective view of the caliper calibrated for orthodontics

Figure 3.- Front perspective view of the caliper calibrated for orthodontics

Figures 4 and 5 Exploded side view of the arms of the caliper calibrated for orthodontics. With reference to these figures, the calibrated orthodontic clamp is manufactured in / Stainless Steel Number 440C HRA .405 / X22 FL, whereby it can be perfectly disinfected in both dry and wet heat, being free of any type of microorganism and is mainly composed of an arm and a spring arm which I describe below:

a) A first arm (1), which in turn consists of a "handle" (the) which at its end has a larger hole (2a) that is used to couple this first arm (1) with a second arm ( spring) (2), by means of the major screw (9a) which I explain later. Following said major hole (2a) a smooth jaw (7a) is located which is marked with millimeters (8a) on its upper face and that gives us help in measuring the spaces between tooth / bracket / arch / attachment to be placed in our dental arch and that has a great advantage and is that it can be used by both left-handed people (who use for all their left hand and by right people who are those who use their right hand in all activity) ... We find in a end of the jaw (Ja) the hangover for the exchangeable razor (3a), of Carbide / Twungtene / Titanium, which can also be used for cutting wire from 0.012 to 0.040 or more stainless steel, with Io that a greater benefit is obtained in its use since we will always have sharp the knives of our clamp, with the option of having a pair of blades or spare knives, having perfect cuts just like our work; When disassembling the blade, our pressure caliper calibrated for Orthodontics remains.

This material of the blade is of great durability, there is another very similar one on the market, which is Carbide / Twngstene, which establishes us The cut α from 0.012 to 0.022 gauge stainless steel wire. (4a), to the level necessary in our treatment and can be assembled by means of a hole (5a) that coincides with the hole (10 ^a ) by assembling them with a screw ( 6a); Y

5 b) The Arm (1) joins the Spring Arm (2), which is the complement of it

^ to form the total body of the clamp, and consisting of "handle" (Ib) that joins in turn with a smooth jaw (5b) in whose body we find the exit hole (2b) of the larger screw of the piece As previously described and where the hangover for the blade (3b) is seen we notice a hole for the hangover of the knife or blade (4b) that will serve us to install that aforementioned knife (9b) through the hole of the knife (8b) , with the knife screw (7b) .. This blade or knife is used to make the cuts in the wire of the dental arch

15 needed in treatment of our patient. In the anterior face and in

The tip of the jaw shows the millimeter (6b), whose function is to measure the necessary spaces between tooth / bracket / arch / attachment to be placed. And whose advantage is that it can be used by left-handed people (those who use mostly their left hand) and right-handed people

20 the ones they use for their entire right hand). We have another piece, Ia

It dies (10b) that its function is the spring between opening and closing of the clamp, which facilitates and speeds up its use and that joins the "handle" (Ib) through the hole (Hb) through the screw for the dead (12b) in the hangover for the dead (13b) in the "handle" (Ib).

Benefits of the Orthodontic Clamp The calibrated orthodontic clamp is for its very useful characteristics since it serves us with its functions to expedite our work in our office since with a single instrument we can measure the necessary space between tooth / bracket / arch / attachment to be placed in the arch Nitinol, allowing us to reduce our working time, with the least number of movements, also the patient gets less tired and the orthodontist too, since the same clamp helps us to cut without having to change for another work instrument, we can also have A pair of spare knives and always having our cutting instrument sharpened giving perfection to our work, it also establishes the necessary pressure to be used to deform the silver tickle, which will form our top in the Nitinol arches, since it is part of the Kit with stops to correct Dental Malocclusions with Nitinol Arches. It has a Muey that facilitates the opening and closing of the same and helps in handling it giving us agility in establishing each of its functions.

Another model within the same design of the pressure caliper calibrated for Orthodontics is the one that within the same body of the clamp was integrated cutting blades, being its cutting capacity of stainless wire or Nitinol, from the number .012 to maximum .016 or .018

Claims

Having sufficiently described my invention, I consider it as a novelty and therefore as much as my exclusive property, the content of the following clauses:

l.-Calibrated Orthodontic Tweezers of which have a first arm, which in turn consists of a "handle" which at its end has a larger hole that is used to couple this first arm with a second arm (spring), by means of a larger screw. Followed by said major hole is a smooth jaw. The first Arm joins the Spring Arm that is the complement of it to form the total body of the clip, and which also consists of a "handle". Said clamps have a piece, called Muey, whose function is the spring between opening and closing of the clamp, which facilitates and speeds up its use and that joins the "handle" by means of a hole through the screw for the dead in the hangover for the dead and in the "handle", characterized in that each jaw is marked with millimeters on its upper face and that gives us help in measuring the spaces between tooth / bracket / arch / attachment to be placed in our dental arch. we find at one end of each jaw, a hangover for the exchangeable knife. The knives can be assembled by means of the hangovers that will be used to install it by means of the hole of the knife, with the screw for the knife and by means of its hole that coincides with the hole of the jaws assembling them with a screw.
