Problems solved by technology

Therefore, patients may have to go through more than one course of corrective treatment and additional costs to achieve the desired results
Additionally, such hard aligners sometimes do not fit well over the tooth sequence, causing pain or discomfort
This discomfort often affects the effectiveness of the aligner
This type of movable orthodontic appliance, which relies on computer prediction, is not yet widely used due to its lack of efficiency and high cost

Embodiment 1

[0027] Figure 1 shows a movable orthodontic appliance that can move the upper or lower teeth, 100 of which represent the orthodontic appliance, 104a represent the upper or lower teeth that need to be corrected, 105 represent the upper or lower jaw, and 104 represent the upper or lower teeth Model. The patient can use the orthodontic appliance 100 to straighten the teeth 104, and at the same time, the patient has the freedom of choice. If in other inappropriate occasions, such as brushing teeth or eating, the orthodontic appliance 100 can be removed at any time. Figure 2 shows this removable appliance 100 from a bottom perspective.

[0028] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the movable orthodontic appliance 100 includes an arched mouthpiece 101 in the shape of an arched trough and a disc, which accommodates the teeth 104a of the upper jaw or the lower jaw 105 from the labial side 101a and the lingual side 101b. The arched mouthpiece 101 can fit over the tooth 104a from the labial s...

Abstract

The invention relates to a movable tooth corrector and a manufacture method, belonging to the technical field of medical appliances and being characterized in that a tooth socket in an arciform slotted disc shape can contain the dental sequence on an upper jaw or a lower jaw by two parts, i.e. the labial side and the tongue side; the arciform tooth socket extends from a molar tooth at one side to a molar tooth at the other side, is sleeved on the dental sequence, wraps the dental sequence from the lip surface and the tongue surface of the tooth and extends to the gum part below the tooth on the upper jaw or the lower jaw; and one or dozens of arch screws are stably melted in the tongue side of the arciform tooth socket. The invention has the advantages that a thermoplastic material as compared with other movable tooth correctors is comfortable to the surfaces of the tooth and the gum without unnecessary irritation and bad feelings. The corrector provides comfortable, attractive and accurate correction treatment so as to acquire predictable treatment effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical equipment. Background technique [0002] With the improvement of people's quality of life, people's requirements for dental beauty are also constantly improving. After orthodontic treatment, repositioning misplaced teeth can provide better cosmetic appearance, maxillary occlusal relationship and chewing function. Tooth repositioning is done by applying a precisely controlled external force to move the tooth over a period of time. There are two types of orthodontic appliances that are commonly used, fixed aligners and removable aligners. [0003] Fixed orthodontic appliances are currently the most commonly used orthodontic method. It uses brackets, bands, archwires, and other accessories. The brackets are fixed to the surface of the teeth with adhesive, and the shaped archwires are attached to the brackets with thin steel wires or rubber rings. The force that induces tooth movement comes mainly...
