Description

说明书 一种工作翼上自带弹性圈锁扣的自锁托槽 技术领域  Description: A self-locking bracket with an elastic ring lock on a working wing
本发明涉及一种牙科正畸器械领域, 具体涉及一种工作翼上自带弹性圈锁 扣的自锁托槽。 背景技术  The invention relates to the field of dental orthodontic instruments, in particular to a self-locking bracket with an elastic ring lock on a working wing. Background technique
正畸治疗是牙科领域的一门专业化程度较高的分支学科, 主要是针对牙齿、 颌骨、面部畸形进行矫治, 通过在口腔内部固定正畸矫治器来逐渐恢复患者的正 常咬合功能。 托槽是正畸矫治器的重要组成部分, 主要粘接于前牙、 尖牙、 前磨 牙上, 正畸治疗通过将矫治弓丝安装在托槽的槽沟内, 引导错位的牙齿移动到理 想的位置。  Orthodontic treatment is a specialized discipline in the field of dentistry. It is mainly used to correct teeth, jaws and facial deformities. The orthodontic appliance is fixed inside the mouth to gradually restore the normal occlusion function of the patient. The bracket is an important part of the orthodontic appliance. It is mainly bonded to the anterior teeth, the canines and the premolars. The orthodontic treatment guides the dislocated teeth to the ideal position by installing the correcting archwire in the groove of the bracket. s position.
传统的托槽采用结扎丝或弹性橡皮圈结扎的方式将弓丝固定于槽沟内,但这 种固定方式存在临床操作费时不便、摩擦力大、 舒适程度差等缺点。 近年来, 自 锁托槽 (self-l igat ing bracket ) 矫治系统的出现为错牙合畸形的正畸治疗引 入了新的方法。自锁托槽最大的特点是通过托槽的自锁结构替代传统结扎丝(圈) 对弓丝进行结扎, 减小了正畸矫治器内部的摩擦力, 使矫治效率显著增加, 是一 种快速、 舒适、 安全的固定矫正装置。 目前, 自锁托槽相对于传统托槽具有低摩 擦力、减少支抗丧失、提高临床操作效率、患者对疼痛反应轻等方面的独特优点, 且自锁托槽啮合稳定、 小巧美观, 患者戴用舒适、 易于清洁, 椅旁时间縮短、 复 诊间隔延长, 矫治效率高、疗程较短。使得自锁托槽得到越来越多正畸医生的认 识和肯定。  Conventional brackets use a ligation wire or an elastic rubber band to ligature the archwire in the groove. However, this type of fixation has the disadvantages of inconvenient clinical operation, large friction, and poor comfort. In recent years, the emergence of self-l igat ing bracket correction systems has led to new approaches for orthodontic treatment of malocclusion. The biggest feature of the self-locking bracket is that the self-locking structure of the bracket replaces the traditional ligature wire (loop) to ligature the archwire, which reduces the friction inside the orthodontic appliance and makes the correction efficiency significantly increase. Comfortable and safe fixed orthodontic device. At present, the self-locking bracket has the unique advantages of low friction, reduced anchorage loss, improved clinical operation efficiency, and light response of the patient to the traditional bracket, and the self-locking bracket is stable, small and beautiful, and the patient wears Comfortable, easy to clean, shorter chair time, longer interval for re-diagnosis, high efficiency and shorter duration of treatment. This makes the self-locking brackets more and more recognized and affirmed by orthodontists.
常见的自锁托槽为滑道式结构 (a passive sl ide ) 或锁扣装置式结构 (a spring cl ip) 。 滑道式托槽在槽沟两侧设置滑盖, 将弓丝纳入后推动滑盖形成 一个坚实的、 弓丝可自由移动的封闭管道, 又称被动型自锁托槽 (passive self-l igating bracket ) 。 锁扣装置式托槽内置高弹性锁扣装置, 关闭后产生 的弹性压力可在需要时作用于弓丝,提供持续轻柔的正畸力, 又称主动型自锁托 槽 (active self-l igating bracket ) 。 由于自锁托槽的自锁装置多位于托槽金 属表面, 方便用工具或指尖开关, 结扎过程更为简便。 A common self-locking bracket is a passive sl ide or a spring cl ip. The slide brackets are provided with sliding covers on both sides of the groove. After the arch wire is inserted, the sliding cover is pushed to form a solid closed wire which can be freely moved by the arch wire. It is also called passive self-ligation. Bracket ). The locking device bracket has a built-in high-elastic locking device. The elastic pressure generated after closing can be applied to the archwire when needed, providing a continuous soft orthodontic force. Also known as active self-ligating bracket (active self-l igating) Bracket ). Since the self-locking device of the self-locking bracket is mostly located in the bracket gold It is a surface, easy to use tools or fingertip switches, and the ligation process is simpler.
目前多数自锁托槽本身具有一定的设计缺陷,其滑盖或锁扣装置容易在某些 意外因素影响下打开, 如果滑盖或锁扣装置意外打开会失去槽沟对弓丝的控制, 影响治疗效果, 反倒延长了治疗时间。而且由于自锁托槽的结构比较复杂, 一些 外力 (包括咀嚼力) 以及医师的不正确操作均可能造成自锁托槽的损坏, 从而导 致滑盖或者锁扣装置无法打开及关闭,严重时甚至造成自锁托槽报废, 增加了患 者的经济负担, 提高了治疗成本。再次, 自锁托槽的自锁装置通常占据牙面上较 大空间, 使得自锁托槽的厚度较大, 咀嚼时可能脱落, 因此对依从性较差的儿童 和深覆牙合患者的使用存在局限性。 同时由于自锁托槽的工作翼短小圆钝, 在添 加结扎附件时固位较不便、 易滑脱, 而且在置入弓丝和取出弓丝的过程中, 自锁 托槽和传统的双翼托槽相比具有极大的不舒适性, 常常引起患者的疼痛。除此之 外,在使用弯曲的不锈钢方丝调整个别牙齿时, 弓丝就位较困难而无法关闭滑盖 或锁扣装置, 这些都限制了传统精细调整方式的使用。  At present, most of the self-locking brackets have certain design defects, and the sliding cover or the locking device are easy to open under the influence of some unexpected factors. If the sliding cover or the locking device is accidentally opened, the control of the arching wire will be lost, and the influence is affected. The therapeutic effect, on the other hand, extends the treatment time. Moreover, due to the complicated structure of the self-locking bracket, some external forces (including chewing force) and incorrect operation of the doctor may cause damage to the self-locking bracket, which may cause the sliding cover or the locking device to be unable to open and close, even in severe cases. The self-locking brackets are scrapped, which increases the economic burden on patients and increases the cost of treatment. Again, the self-locking device of the self-locking bracket usually occupies a large space on the tooth surface, so that the self-locking bracket has a large thickness and may fall off during chewing, so the use of children with poor compliance and deep overbite patients is used. There are limitations. At the same time, due to the short and rounded working wing of the self-locking bracket, the retention is inconvenient and slippery when adding the ligation attachment, and the self-locking bracket and the traditional double-wing bracket are in the process of inserting the archwire and removing the archwire. Compared with great discomfort, it often causes pain in patients. In addition, when adjusting individual teeth with curved stainless steel square wires, it is difficult to close the arch or the locking device, which limits the use of traditional fine adjustment methods.
中国专利: 形状记忆自锁正畸托槽 (专利号: 200580028504. 3, 申请日: 2005. 07. 01 )公开了一种工作翼的一部分是可屈服的自锁托槽, 其中自锁托槽上 设有托槽底板和一个或一个以上的工作翼, 工作翼包括与托槽底板连接的基座, 以及由基座顶部中央向下凹陷形成的槽沟,槽沟用于容纳弓丝。槽沟的两侧壁上 部向对侧伸出,形成向槽沟上方相向延伸的凸缘。槽沟两侧壁具有一定的屈服性, 当槽沟两侧壁为松弛状态时, 两凸缘的端部相接或近似相接, 从而将槽沟锁闭; 当槽沟两侧壁相对移动变形时, 两凸缘的端部之间出现弓丝入口, 可通过该弓丝 入口将弓丝置入或移出槽沟。由于该专利中工作翼的槽沟两侧壁在外力作用下发 生相对移动和变形时, 才能打开弓丝入口, 因此在临床应用上, 医生需要在槽沟 的两侧壁上施加足够的力,才能完成弓丝进入或移出托槽槽沟的程序, 使得病人 疼痛程度较高。而且槽沟两侧壁也容易在外力影响下 (例如在弓丝的作用下)发生 不可恢复的变形, 减弱了槽沟对于弓丝的控制, 对矫治效果带来不利影响。 同时 由于槽沟两侧壁能够受力相对移动,因而具有较高的弓丝从槽沟中意外脱出的风 险。  Chinese patent: Shape memory self-locking orthodontic bracket (Patent No.: 200580028504. 3, application date: 2005. 07. 01) discloses a self-locking bracket in which a part of the working wing is yieldable, wherein the self-locking bracket There is a bracket bottom plate and one or more working wings. The working wing includes a base connected to the bracket bottom plate, and a groove formed by a downward depression of the center of the top of the base, the groove is for receiving the arch wire. The upper ends of the two side walls of the groove project to the opposite side to form flanges that extend toward the upper side of the groove. The two side walls of the groove have a certain yielding property. When the two side walls of the groove are in a relaxed state, the ends of the two flanges are connected or nearly connected to lock the groove; when the two sides of the groove are relatively moved Upon deformation, an archwire entry occurs between the ends of the two flanges through which the archwire can be placed or removed from the slot. Since the two side walls of the groove of the working wing in the patent are relatively moved and deformed under the action of external force, the archwire inlet can be opened, so in clinical application, the doctor needs to apply sufficient force on both side walls of the groove. In order to complete the procedure of entering or removing the archwire into the bracket groove, the patient has a higher degree of pain. Moreover, the two side walls of the groove are also susceptible to irreversible deformation under the influence of external force (for example, under the action of the arch wire), which reduces the control of the groove on the arch wire and adversely affects the correction effect. At the same time, since the two side walls of the groove can be relatively moved by force, there is a high risk of accidental escape of the arch wire from the groove.
美国专利:正畸托槽(公开号为 US2011/0059414 A1 ,优先权日: 2008. 03. 14) 公开了一种自锁托槽, 自槽沟的两侧壁顶部(自锁托槽的唇颊面) 向槽沟底部延 伸的的具有弹性的片状自锁部件,片状自锁部件与槽沟的侧壁之间有一剖面为楔 形的狭槽。 由于狭槽的存在, 片状自锁部件可相对槽沟的侧壁发生弹性形变, 即 片状部件在外力下可变形,弓丝通过两片状部件的自由端之间的空间被挤压进入 槽沟, 继而片状部件恢复初始形状, 其自由端作为限位部件可对于槽沟中的弓丝 起到固位作用。由于该专利中利用槽沟的两侧壁顶部之间的空间设置一个或二个 片状自锁部件,并利用该片状自锁部件在其下方的狭槽范围内的弹性形变来实现 托槽的自锁功能, 因此该片状自锁部件的活动范围十分有限, 在临床应用中存在 着大尺寸弓丝 (如丝径为 0. 021英寸 X 0. 025英寸的弓丝)难以入槽等问题。 并 且由于该片状自锁部件在置入弓丝的过程中相对于槽沟的侧壁的弯折变形,片状 自锁部件与槽沟侧壁顶部的连接部位应力集中,因此连接部位较容易产生永久变 形或者断裂, 即连接部位易在反复弯折后变形或断裂, 使托槽丧失自锁功能以及 对于弓丝的控制。另外, 临床实践中正畸医生经常需要将已经置入槽沟内的弓丝 取出, 重新调整后再置入托槽槽沟中, 而该专利未考虑到如何方便的将弓丝取出 的问题, 致使取丝的操作繁琐不便, 并且所需力量较大, 容易引起病人不适以及 自锁部件的变形断裂。 发明内容 US Patent: Orthodontic brackets (publication number US2011/0059414 A1, priority date: 2008. 03. 14) discloses a self-locking bracket, from the top of the two side walls of the groove (self-locking bracket lip) Buccal) extending to the bottom of the groove The stretched elastic self-locking member has a wedge-shaped slit between the sheet-like self-locking member and the side wall of the groove. Due to the existence of the slot, the sheet-like self-locking member can be elastically deformed with respect to the side wall of the groove, that is, the sheet member can be deformed under an external force, and the arch wire is squeezed through the space between the free ends of the two sheet members. The groove, and then the sheet member returns to its original shape, and its free end acts as a stop member to retain the archwire in the groove. Since the patent utilizes one or two sheet-like self-locking members in the space between the tops of the two side walls of the groove, and uses the elastic deformation of the sheet-like self-locking member in the range below the slot to realize the bracket The self-locking function, therefore, the movable range of the self-locking component is very limited, and in the clinical application, there is a large size arch wire (such as a wire diameter of 0. 021 inches X 0. 025 inches) difficult to enter the groove, etc. problem. Moreover, since the sheet-like self-locking member is bent and deformed with respect to the side wall of the groove during the insertion of the arch wire, the connection portion between the sheet-shaped self-locking member and the top of the side wall of the groove is concentrated, so that the connection portion is relatively easy. Permanent deformation or fracture occurs, that is, the joint portion is easily deformed or broken after repeated bending, so that the bracket loses the self-locking function and the control of the archwire. In addition, in clinical practice, orthodontists often need to remove the archwire that has been placed in the groove, re-adjust and then place it into the bracket groove, and the patent does not consider how to conveniently remove the archwire. The operation of taking the wire is cumbersome and inconvenient, and the required force is large, which is likely to cause discomfort to the patient and deformation and breakage of the self-locking member.

本发明的一种工作翼上自带弹性圈锁扣的自锁托槽,包括一托槽底板以及设 置在托槽底板的唇颊面的工作翼, 工作翼包括与托槽底板连接的基座, 基座中部 向下凹陷形成槽沟,所有槽沟在一条槽沟轴线上; 基座被槽沟轴线为第一基座和 第二基座; 其特征在于: 第一基座顶部设置一弹性圈锁扣, 弹性圈锁扣包括弹片 和自由端, 弹片一端与第一基座固定, 另一端连接自由端, 弹片为具有弹性的弯 曲片, 自由端悬于工作翼的唇颊面上方; 自由端上设置向不同方向伸出的卡片和 挡片, 当弹片为松弛状态时, 卡片与槽沟共同构成弓丝槽, 挡片将弓丝阻隔在弹 片与挡片围成的内部空间之外。 由于通过弹片具有弯曲的片状结构, 将自由端通 过弹片固定于自锁托槽唇颊面的上方,使自由端上的卡片和挡片分别实现关闭弓 丝出入口和将弓丝限制在弓丝槽内的功能。 由于卡片和挡片均固定在自由端上, 因此随着弹片在外力作用下发生形变而带动自由端的移动,卡片和挡片也发生同 时、 同步移动, 即同时实现关闭弓丝出入口和将弓丝限制在弓丝槽内。 A self-locking bracket with an elastic ring lock on a working wing of the present invention includes a bracket bottom plate and a working wing disposed on the lip surface of the bracket bottom plate, the working wing including a base connected to the bracket bottom plate The central portion of the base is recessed downward to form a groove, and all the grooves are on a groove axis; the base is the first base and the second base by the groove axis; and the first base is provided with an elastic The ring lock buckle, the elastic ring lock comprises a spring piece and a free end, the elastic piece has one end fixed to the first base, the other end is connected with the free end, the elastic piece is a flexible curved piece, and the free end is suspended above the lip surface of the working wing; The card and the baffle extending in different directions are arranged on the end. When the shrapnel is in a relaxed state, the card and the groove together form an archwire slot, and the baffle blocks the archwire from the inner space enclosed by the shrapnel and the baffle. Since the elastic piece has a curved sheet-like structure, the free end is fixed to the upper surface of the self-locking bracket by the elastic piece, so that the card and the blocking piece on the free end respectively realize the closing bow Silk inlet and outlet and the function of limiting the archwire in the archwire slot. Since the card and the baffle are fixed on the free end, the card and the baffle also move simultaneously and synchronously as the shrapnel deforms under the action of the external force, thereby simultaneously closing the archwire entrance and exit and arching the archwire. Limited in the archwire slot.
卡片与挡片之间的夹角设置为直角或近似直角, 使之能够配合槽沟的形状, 则卡片、 挡片、 槽沟共同形成限制弓丝活动的弓丝槽。  The angle between the card and the flap is set to a right angle or a nearly right angle so as to fit the shape of the groove, and the card, the flap and the groove together form an archwire slot that restricts the archwire movement.
由于卡片末端与所述第一基座上部通过一卡扣结构临时锁止,使得不论弓丝 进入还是脱出弓丝槽, 弓丝入口处于打开状态时弹片不复位, 以避免卡片回弹关 闭弓丝入口而影响操作。  Since the end of the card and the upper portion of the first base are temporarily locked by a snap structure, the spring piece is not reset when the archwire inlet is in an open state, regardless of whether the archwire enters or exits the archwire slot, so as to prevent the card from rebounding and closing the archwire. The entrance affects the operation.
由于自由端向弹片的内侧面伸出一支片, 当弹片形变到一定程度时, 支片可 支撑住弹片的内侧面,限制弹片的形变程度,以保护弹片不会因形变过度而损坏。 且由于卡片、挡片和支片均连接在同一自由端上, 因而三者可实现同步运动, 即 同时实现关闭弓丝出入口、 将弓丝限制在弓丝槽内、 限制弹片的形变程度。 附图说明  Since the free end protrudes from the inner side of the elastic piece, when the elastic piece is deformed to a certain extent, the supporting piece can support the inner side surface of the elastic piece to limit the degree of deformation of the elastic piece to protect the elastic piece from being damaged by excessive deformation. Moreover, since the card, the flap and the support piece are all connected to the same free end, the three can realize the synchronous movement, that is, simultaneously closing the archwire entrance and exit, limiting the archwire in the archwire slot, and limiting the degree of deformation of the elastic piece.

All the grooves of the working wing are on a groove axis. The base of the single working wing is divided by the groove into a first base on one side of the groove axis and a second base on the other side of the groove axis, and an elastic ring lock is located on the first base. The elastic ring lock is divided into a fixed end, a spring piece and a free end, and the elastic piece is a flexible curved piece structure, wherein the fixed end is fixed to the first base, and the elastic piece passes over the lip surface of the first base (ie The top of the first base is rolled up in the direction of the groove so that the cross section of the shrapnel is a semi-closed ring having a larger internal space similar to "C"; the free end is bent toward the second base, and the inside of the shrapnel The side and free ends enclose an internal space of the elastic ring lock.

In the relaxed state of the elastic ring lock, the end of the flap can be attached to the top of the first base or only a narrow gap, and the card and the groove together form an archwire slot for receiving the archwire.
在自锁托槽使用时, 自由端在外力作用下移动, 使得弹片发生形变, 挡片进 入内部空间中, 卡片向挡片原来的位置移动形成弓丝出入口, 支片的末端接近弹 片的内侧面。当支片的末端抵住弹片的内侧面时, 对弹片的形变起到一个限制作 用, 从而防止弹片因为过度形变而损坏。 由于当自由端受到外力作用时, 卡片、 挡片、 支片同步移动, 使形成弓丝出入口和限制弹片过度形变的功能一步到位。  When the self-locking bracket is used, the free end moves under the action of an external force, causing the elastic piece to deform, the blocking piece enters the inner space, and the card moves to the original position of the blocking piece to form the archwire entrance and exit, and the end of the supporting piece approaches the inner side of the elastic piece. . When the end of the tab abuts against the inner side of the shrapnel, the deformation of the shrapnel is limited to prevent the shrapnel from being damaged due to excessive deformation. Since the card, the flap and the support piece move synchronously when the free end is subjected to an external force, the function of forming the archwire entrance and exit and limiting the excessive deformation of the elastic piece is one step at a time.

As shown in Fig. 4, when the archwire enters the archwire slot, the external force is withdrawn to cause the spring 32 to be reset, and the card 35 is returned to the upper of the archwire slot 21, and the archwire is locked in the archwire slot. When the archwire needs to be removed from the archwire slot, as shown in Fig. 3, an external force is applied to the free end 33 to deform the elastic piece 32. When the card 35 reaches or approaches the original position of the flap 36, the outer side of the card 35 and the second side The upper portions of the trench walls 25 together form an archwire exit 4 through which the archwire can be removed.
由此可知, 不论弓丝进入还是脱出弓丝槽, 弓丝出入口 4均需打开, 为了在 弓丝入口 4打开时弹片 32不复位,致使卡片 35回弹关闭弓丝入口 4而影响操作, 如图 1、 图 3所示, 本实施例还在卡片 35末端边缘设置凸边 37, 并在第一沟壁 24的顶部设置卡块 38。 凸边 37与卡块 38构成卡扣结构, 可使卡片 35的末端与 第一沟壁 24的顶部临时锁止, 以便于医师操作弓丝通过弓丝出入口 4。 为了使 凸边 37与卡块 38能够顺利卡合, 凸边 37具有一定锥度, 卡块 38所在的第一沟 壁 34的顶部高出第一基座 22的唇颊面 (即第一基座 22的顶面)。 It can be seen that whether the archwire enters or exits the archwire slot, the archwire entrance and exit 4 needs to be opened. In order to prevent the spring 32 from being reset when the archwire inlet 4 is opened, the card 35 rebounds to close the archwire inlet 4 and affect the operation, such as As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, this embodiment also provides a flange 37 at the end edge of the card 35, and a tab 38 is provided on the top of the first groove wall 24. The flange 37 and the block 38 constitute a snap structure, and the end of the card 35 can be The top of the first furrow wall 24 is temporarily locked so that the physician can manipulate the archwire through the archwire exit 4. In order to enable the flange 37 and the block 38 to smoothly engage, the flange 37 has a certain taper, and the top of the first groove wall 34 where the block 38 is located is higher than the lip surface of the first base 22 (ie, the first base The top surface of 22).
