Description
DISPOSITIVO ORTODÓNCICO ORTHODONIC DEVICE
DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION
La presente invención hace referencia a un dispositivo ortodóncico que permite una corrección estética de la apariencia externa de una dentadura. The present invention refers to an orthodontic device that allows an aesthetic correction of the external appearance of a denture.
La ortodoncia es la ciencia dental que estudia la modificación de la posición de los dientes dentro de la boca. Como consecuencia de las tendencias estéticas actuales, dicha rama de la tecnología se centra actualmente, en su mayor parte, en la modificación estética de la dentadura de sus clientes, en general con un fin estético y no terapéutico. Orthodontics is the dental science that studies the modification of the position of the teeth inside the mouth. As a consequence of current aesthetic trends, this branch of technology is currently focused, for the most part, on the aesthetic modification of the teeth of its clients, in general with an aesthetic and non-therapeutic purpose.
Dada la acusada naturaleza estética de la mayoría de los métodos ortodóncicos, resulta necesario no sólo obtener buenos resultados finales, sino además, que los dispositivos utilizados no sean visibles desde el exterior. Given the marked aesthetic nature of most orthodontic methods, it is necessary not only to obtain good final results, but also that the devices used are not visible from the outside.
Los métodos tradicionales comprenden la aplicación de aparatos ortodóncicos cuya función es empujar los dientes hacia la posición deseada. Dichos aparatos resultan visibles desde el exterior, molestan el habla y requieren de cuidados y una higiene especial por parte del paciente. Además, en caso de requerirse grandes movimientos, resulta necesario eliminar materia de los dientes para conseguir el resultado final, por cuanto no consiguen una estimulación de crecimiento óseo suficiente, que genere nuevos espacios para los dientes. Además, el contacto entre elementos duros para generar puntos de fijación concretos con los dientes (brackets) puede llevar a dañar el esmalte dental. Por otro lado, estos aparatos y métodos ortodóncicos ocupan un lugar considerable dentro de la boca, por lo que además son molestos para el usuario. Traditional methods include the application of orthodontic appliances whose function is to push the teeth towards the desired position. These devices are visible from the outside, disturb speech and require special care and hygiene by the patient. In addition, if large movements are required, it is necessary to remove matter from the teeth to achieve the final result, since they do not achieve a sufficient bone growth stimulation, which generates new spaces for the teeth. In addition, the contact between hard elements to generate specific fixing points with the teeth (brackets) can lead to damage the tooth enamel. On the other hand, these devices and orthodontic methods occupy a considerable place inside the mouth, so they are also annoying for the user.
También resultan conocidas las fundas o férulas transparentes realizadas en un material plástico, con propiedades elásticas, que se colocan cubriendo todos los dientes y cuya función es empujar los dientes hacia la posición deseada. Cada cierto tiempo, el movimiento que la férula induce a los dientes hace que ésta pierda su función de presión y debe ser cambiada por otra distinta que presione de nuevo los dientes hacia la posición deseada. Este método es caro, por cuanto requiere realizar una simulación completa de las posiciones intermedias de los dientes durante el movimiento de toda la dentadura antes de generar las fundas, fabricar un número considerable de fundas para diversos estados intermedios del movimiento dental y, además, requiere visitas frecuentes al ortodoncista para comprobar el movimiento de los dientes y cambiar las fundas. Also known are the transparent covers or splints made of a plastic material, with elastic properties, which are placed covering all the teeth and whose function is to push the teeth towards the desired position. From time to time, the movement that the splint induces the teeth causes it to lose its pressure function and must be changed by a different one that presses the teeth back to the desired position. This method is expensive, since it requires a complete simulation of the intermediate positions of the teeth during the movement of the entire denture before generating the covers, manufacturing a considerable number of covers for various intermediate stages of the dental movement and, in addition, it requires Frequent visits to the orthodontist to check the movement of the teeth and change the covers.
Además, en la solicitud de Patente PCT 2007/128848 A1 se da a conocer un dispositivo ortodóncico en el que además de las férulas o fundas de dientes se incorpora un elemento alargado de un material flexible que está fijado a uno de los extremos de la funda. Sin embargo, las fundas no son individuales y no están hechas en la posición corregida de los dientes, por tanto, con este tipo de dispositivo aunque se disminuye la frecuencia de visitas al ortodoncista, aún requiere de fundas para las posiciones intermedias entre la posición inicial o real y la posición final o corregida.
El inventor de la presente invención ha desarrollado un dispositivo ortodóncico nuevo para llevar los dientes hacia una posición corregida que supera los inconvenientes de los dispositivos de la técnica anterior. Por ejemplo, con el dispositivo de la presente invención no es necesario la realización de fundas intermedias, sino que con una sola funda es posible llevar los dientes desde la posición inicial a la posición corregida. In addition, in the PCT patent application 2007/128848 A1 an orthodontic device is disclosed in which in addition to the splints or tooth covers an elongate element of a flexible material is incorporated which is fixed to one of the ends of the sheath . However, the covers are not individual and are not made in the corrected position of the teeth, therefore, with this type of device although the frequency of visits to the orthodontist is reduced, it still requires covers for the intermediate positions between the initial position or real and the final or corrected position. The inventor of the present invention has developed a new orthodontic device to bring the teeth to a corrected position that overcomes the drawbacks of prior art devices. For example, with the device of the present invention it is not necessary to carry out intermediate covers, but with a single cover it is possible to bring the teeth from the initial position to the corrected position.
El dispositivo de la presente invención es de fácil fabricación, y por lo tanto económico, ocupa un espacio reducido en las proximidades de los dientes y no provocan dificultades en el habla del usuario. Además, el dispositivo, una vez aplicado a un usuario, no resulta visible al exterior. The device of the present invention is easy to manufacture, and therefore economical, occupies a small space in the vicinity of the teeth and does not cause difficulties in user speech. In addition, the device, once applied to a user, is not visible outside.
En particular, el dispositivo ortodóncico objeto de la presente invención comprende fundas de dientes unidas entre sí mediante un elemento alargado en forma de arco, comprendiendo dichas fundas medios de unión a dicho elemento alargado flexible, caracterizado por que comprende al menos dos fundas de dientes individuales y por que dichos medios de unión se disponen de manera que dichas fundas individuales están en la posición corregida de los dientes. In particular, the orthodontic device object of the present invention comprises tooth covers joined together by an elongated arch-shaped element, said covers comprising means for joining said flexible elongate element, characterized in that it comprises at least two individual tooth covers and because said joining means are arranged so that said individual sleeves are in the corrected position of the teeth.
Preferentemente dichas fundas son transparentes, más preferentemente son de tereftalato de polietileno (PET), estando dichas fundas unidas mediante al menos un elemento alargado en forma de arco realizado en material flexible. Preferably said covers are transparent, more preferably they are made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), said covers being joined by at least one elongated arc-shaped element made of flexible material.

On the other hand, said elongated element or arc may preferably be a wire-like element, made of metallic material, such as for example stainless steel. In another embodiment, said wire element is a spring, which can be a tension spring or a compression spring or a wire, or a combination thereof. The method of joining between the individual covers and the wire element can be, for example, by bonding with acrylic.
Dicho elemento alambriforme presenta un desarrollo curvado que se corresponde con un maxilar, de tal manera que dicho elemento alambriforme discurre por las proximidades de la pared de una dentadura, más preferentemente por la cara interior u oculta de una dentadura. Said wire element has a curved development that corresponds to a maxilla, such that said wire element runs along the proximities of the wall of a denture, more preferably by the inner or hidden face of a denture.
El elemento alambriforme, que es alargado y en forma de arco, está fijado a la funda, según la presente invención, y puede ejercer funciones activas (presión contra la encía y/o los dientes) o funciones pasivas de unión o transmisión de esfuerzos hacia la funda, motivo por el cual el dispositivo objeto de la presente invención es muy versátil. Tal como se mencionó anteriormente dicho elemento alambriforme presenta la ventaja de no interferir con los movimientos de la lengua al discurrir en la zona inmediatamente anexa a la cara interior de la dentadura. The wire element, which is elongated and arc-shaped, is fixed to the sheath, according to the present invention, and can exert active functions (pressure against the gum and / or teeth) or passive functions of joining or transmitting forces towards the case, which is why the device object of the present invention is very versatile. As mentioned previously, said wire element has the advantage of not interfering with the movements of the tongue when it runs in the area immediately attached to the inner face of the denture.

Figure 7 is an elevational view of a third embodiment of the wire element of the orthodontic device of the present invention. Figure 8 is an elevational view of an embodiment of the orthodontic device of the present invention placed in the denture with malocclusions.
La figura 9 es una vista en alzado de una realización del dispositivo ortodóncico de la presente invención colocado en la dentadura con las maloclusiones corregidas. Figure 9 is an elevational view of an embodiment of the orthodontic device of the present invention placed in the denture with the corrected malocclusions.
La figura 1 muestra un molde de una dentadura inferior -1 - en el que se observan maloclusiones, por ejemplo en el colmillo -2- izquierdo. Además, se puede observar la cara interior -3- de la dentadura, por donde discurrirá el dispositivo ortodóncico de la presente invención. Después de realizar un escaneado del molde de la figura 1 , se corrige virtualmente la posición de cada diente utilizando un programa de ordenador y se reproduce la dentadura corregida utilizando, por ejemplo, una impresora 3D. En la figura 2 se observa el molde -4- de la dentadura corregida tal como se mencionó anteriormente. Sobre dicho molde se realiza y confecciona las fundas individuales del dispositivo ortodóncico de la presente invención. Figure 1 shows a mold of a lower denture -1 - in which malocclusions are observed, for example in the left tusk -2-. In addition, the inner face -3- of the denture can be observed, where the orthodontic device of the present invention will run. After scanning the mold of Figure 1, the position of each tooth is virtually corrected using a computer program and the corrected denture is reproduced using, for example, a 3D printer. Figure 4 shows the mold -4- of the corrected denture as mentioned above. On said mold the individual covers of the orthodontic device of the present invention are made and made.
Tras realizar un termoformado de cada arcada dentaria con planchas de PET, se obtiene una funda -5- de la que se recorta individualmente cada funda o cofia -6-, -6’-, -6”- termoformada de cada uno de los dientes, tal como se observa en la figura 3. En la figura 4, se muestra una realización del dispositivo ortodóncico de la presente invención, en la que las fundas individuales -6-, -6’-, -6”- están unidas por su parte inferior por un único muelle -7-. El método de unión entre todas las fundas individuales y el elemento alambriforme puede ser, por ejemplo, mediante pegado con acrílico. After performing a thermoforming of each dental arch with PET plates, a cover -5- is obtained from which each cover or cap -6-, -6'-, -6 ”is cut individually - each thermoforming of each of the teeth , as seen in Figure 3. In Figure 4, an embodiment of the orthodontic device of the present invention is shown, in which the individual sleeves -6-, -6'-, -6 "- are joined by their bottom by a single spring -7-. The method of joining between all the individual covers and the wire element can be, for example, by bonding with acrylic.
Dicho muelle -7- único se muestra de forma individual en la figura 5. Sin embargo, en la figura 6 se muestra otra posible realización del elemento alambriforme del dispositivo ortodóncico de la presente invención, en la que dicho elemento alambriforme está formado por un alambre -8- y un muelle -7- en forma alargada y de arco, no siendo continuo dicho alambre -8-, sino que está formado por un segundo alambre -8’- separados en la parte central del elemento alambriforme. Otra posible realización del elemento alambriforme del dispositivo ortodóncico de la presente invención se muestra en la figura 7, en la que se muestra que dicho elemento alambriforme está formado por un alambre -8’-, un primer muelle -7’-, un segundo muelle -9-. Los muelles -7’-, -9- realizan fuerzas en sentido contrario, es decir, mientras uno realiza una fuerza tracción el otro realiza una fuerza de compresión. Said spring -7- is shown individually in Figure 5. However, in Figure 6 another possible embodiment of the wire element of the orthodontic device of the present invention is shown, in which said wire element is formed by a wire -8- and a spring -7- in an elongated and arc shape, said wire being not continuous -8-, but is formed by a second wire -8'- separated in the central part of the wire element. Another possible embodiment of the wire element of the orthodontic device of the present invention is shown in Figure 7, in which it is shown that said wire element is formed by a wire -8'-, a first spring -7'-, a second spring -9-. The springs -7'-, -9- perform forces in the opposite direction, that is, while one performs a tensile force the other performs a compression force.
En las figuras 8 y 9 se muestra el inicio y final, respectivamente, de un tratamiento ortodóncico utilizando el dispositivo de la presente invención. Inicialmente (figura 8) como el dispositivo ortodóncico fue realizado utilizando el molde corregido, las maloclusiones generarán una deformación del muelle -10-, dicha deformación hace que el muelle ejerza una fuerza sobre los dientes en dirección de la dentadura corregida. En la figura 9 se muestra el molde de la dentadura al final del tratamiento, en la que se observa que el muelle -10- no realiza ninguna tensión y, por ejemplo, la maloclusión -1 1 - ha quedado definitivamente corregida. Figures 8 and 9 show the beginning and end, respectively, of an orthodontic treatment using the device of the present invention. Initially (figure 8) as the orthodontic device was made using the corrected mold, the malocclusions will generate a deformation of the spring -10-, said deformation causes the spring to exert a force on the teeth in the direction of the corrected denture. Figure 9 shows the denture mold at the end of the treatment, in which it is observed that the spring -10- does not make any tension and, for example, malocclusion -1 1 - has been definitively corrected.
Si bien no se ha mostrado en las figuras, también será posible fijar a la funda al menos un gancho preferentemente externo de acero inoxidable, por ejemplo con dobleces en los extremos, para fijarlo a la
funda o férula con acrílico y que servirá para enganchar bandas elásticas intra- e intermaxilares. Para tal fin también podrán añadirse tubos y botones de anclaje a la funda. Although it has not been shown in the figures, it will also be possible to attach to the cover at least one preferably external stainless steel hook, for example with folds at the ends, to fix it to the sheath or splint with acrylic and which will be used to hook intra- and intermaxillary elastic bands. To this end, tubes and anchor buttons may also be added to the sheath.
