Automatic orthodontic apparatus and method

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic orthodontic apparatus and an orthodontic method. The automatic orthodontic apparatus comprises a U-shaped tooth guard, and further comprises a control unit and a plurality of correction tooth sockets, wherein the tooth guard comprises an inner bent wall and an outer bent wall; each of the correction tooth sockets is arranged on the tooth guard and is electrically connected to the control unit; the control unit comprises a camera, a memory and a microcontroller; each of the correction tooth sockets comprises a front correction sheet and a rear correction sheet; a vibrator, a pressure sensor and a pressing unit are arranged between the front correction sheet and the inner bent wall, and a vibrator, a pressure sensor and a pressing unit are arranged between the rear correction sheet and the outer bent wall. The automatic orthodontic apparatus and the orthodontic method disclosed by the invention can, according to tooth shapes of a patient, automatically position the corresponding correction tooth sockets on to-be-corrected irregular teeth for position correction and for grinding and trimming correction, so as to avoid unnecessary harm to healthy teeth of the patient during tooth correction, and simultaneously to shorten a tooth correction cycle.
