Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the course of orthodontic treatment is usually long, and it is often necessary to open the aligner during the treatment to move the correction arch wire, thereby adjusting the correction direction
For the use of traditional self-locking orthodontic appliances, while switching the clip or fastening element on the orthodontic bracket, the operator must apply force to the clip or fastening element to complete the opening or closing. For the operator, it may cause pressure and time consumption during operation; in addition, frequent opening and closing may also cause wear and tear of these clamping or fastening components, which may lead to loosening or inability to securely correct the Bowwire fixation occurs

Abstract

The present invention relates to a self-locking orthodontic device by utilization of magnetic closing, comprising: an orthodontic device main body having an arcuate line groove to accommodate an arcuate line; a sliding cover mutually engaged with the orthodontic device main body and moving between an opening position and a closing position of the orthodontic device main body; and a positioning mechanism including a guide pin positioned on one of the orthodontic device main body and the sliding cover, and a positioning portion positioned on one of the orthodontic device main body and the sliding cover, wherein the positioning mechanism is formed by magnetic materials, and the sliding cover is fixed to the opening position or the closing position of the orthodontic device main body by mutual magnetic attraction and fixation of the guide pin and the positioning portion. Opening and closing of the sliding cover are accurately mastered by utilization of magnetic force, thereby facilitating user operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an orthodontic device, in particular, to a self-locking orthodontic device utilizing magnetic closure. Background technique [0002] With the improvement of the quality of life, modern people have higher and higher requirements for appearance. Among them, in order to improve the appearance of teeth and maintain oral health, it is common to use orthodontics to improve the alignment of teeth. [0003] Traditional orthodontic appliances use iron wires or rubber rings to fix the orthodontic archwires in the orthodontic archwire grooves. However, the above iron wires or rubber rings are likely to cause food residues, which may lead to the generation of dental plaque. On the other hand, iron The wire or rubber band may generate friction during the straightening process, thus slowing down the movement of the teeth and affecting the straightening process. Recently, self-locking orthodontic appliances have been widely used, whi...
