Abstract

The invention relates to an invisible monitoring orthopedic brace and a manufacturing method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of medical apparatuses. The transparent invisible orthopedic brace is shaped by a modified conductive polyurethane prepolymer, and the brace is integrated with a pressure sensing part, a microbattery and a data acquisition card. In a tooth orthopedic process, the intensity of orthopedic force is converted into an electric signal by virtue of the pressure sensing part which is integrated on the invisible brace and the electric signal is recorded in the data acquisition card; and by reading data in the data acquisition card, detailed data of the orthopedic force on teeth can be obtained so as to determine the orthopedic progress and the orthopedic process of the teeth. The process provided by the invention has the advantages of being easily available in raw materials, low in cost, convenient to operate, simple in process and the like. The brace, which is manufactured by the invention, has the advantages of being good in stability and beautiful in appearance, and the brace is capable of achieving real-time monitoring and is capable of avoiding oral diseases which may be caused by a conventional hard brace and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an invisible monitoring orthopedic brace and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of medical devices. Background technique [0002] The use of orthodontic devices has become increasingly popular. The orthodontic equipment is mainly to force the teeth to become more orderly by forming an orthodontic force on the teeth. Generally, a class of materials with high mechanical strength such as steel wires, alloys, and ceramics are used for molding with standard dental molds. However, under the condition of poor force control, this type of material will cause tooth misalignment, poor comfort, and even cause some sequelae such as oral ulcers. The publication number is CN 2020821670 U, and the Chinese patent titled "A New Type of Invisible Orthodontic Braces" provides a method for preparing invisible orthodontic braces with a transparent high-tech memory material, using the memory function of the material to de...
