Buccal external stuck nasal and alveolar process reshaping device for unilateral cleft lip and palate

Abstract

The invention relates to a buccal external stuck nasal and alveolar process reshaping device for unilateral cleft lip and palate, in particular to a nasal brace with an effect of correcting nasal and alveolar processes before operation of a unilateral cleft lip and palate child. The device comprises a steel wire scaffold and a nasal plug at the tail end of the steel wire scaffold; the steel wire scaffold is used for closing a cleft lip gap and fixing and supporting the nasal plug; and the nasal plug is used for supporting a sick lateral nostril and providing forces in three-dimensional directions, namely a sagittal direction backing to the face and forwarding, a horizontal direction pointing a healthy lateral nostril and a vertical direction. Through the device, potential safety hazards in the prior art are eliminated, the comfort degree of the sick child is improved, and functions are enhanced; the device is easy and convenient to operate, and greatly reduces the treatment threshold under the condition that the curative effect is ensured; and the device is simple in structure and easy to form, can be productized, and has high market promotion value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an externally attached nose and alveolar process shaping device for unilateral cleft lip and palate, in particular to a nose support for correcting the nose and alveolar process before surgery for children with unilateral cleft lip and palate. Background technique [0002] Cleft lip and palate is the most common congenital deformity of the oral and maxillofacial region. In addition to the upper lip, alveolar ridge, and palate clefts, the affected side of the patient's nasal alar collapse, shortened nasal columella, and widened nasal floor will also seriously affect the appearance of the patient. . Relying solely on surgery, it is difficult to close the cleft lip and at the same time lengthen the columella of the affected side, straighten the alae of the nose, and make the bilateral nostrils symmetrical and beautiful; the wide alveolar ridge cleft cannot form an ideal nasal floor, and the postoperative soft tissue scar is relati...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In this way, compared with the treatment needs of the vast number of patients in our country, it is difficult to popularize its treatment

In terms of treatment effect, since the base in the oral cavity and the nasal support wire extending from the front end will affect the tightness of the air-permeable tape dressing outside the oral cavity to close the upper lip and close the crack, and it does not have the auxiliary effect of closing the alveolar cleft, which affects the alveolar ridge crack Speed ​​and extent of closure

Due to the reduction of estrogen in newborns, the opportunity for nose and alveolar process plastic surgery is short and precious. It will take several days to make and adapt the device, and it will take time to wear a nasal brace and use tape to draw it up according to the procedure. will waste this limited and precious opportunity for treatment.
