Kit for manufacturing customized orthodontic arch wire and method for manufacturing orthodontic arch wire using same

Abstract

Disclosed are a kit for manufacturing a customized orthodontic arch wire and a method for manufacturing an orthodontic arch wire using the same. The kit for manufacturing a customized orthodontic archwire, according to the present invention, comprises: a jig base having a pair of an inner coupling hole and an outer coupling hole formed therein to correspond to tooth positions on a patient's setupmodel; a jig that has a first head having a first through-hole formed through one end thereof, a second head having a second through-hole formed through an opposite end thereof, and a body connectingthe first head and the second head and having a wire ligation slot concavely formed in one upper end thereof; a fixing screw corresponding to the standard of the first through-hole and the inner coupling hole; and a fixing part corresponding to the standard of the second through-hole and the outer coupling hole. A customized orthodontic arch wire may be manufactured by tying and fixing a nitinolwire to the wire ligation slot of the jig and then heating the same in a heating furnace.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a custom-made arch wire for orthodontics. In particular, it relates to a method for manufacturing a Nitinol-made metal wire that needs to be baked at a high temperature into a custom-made arch wire. Background technique [0002] In a narrow sense, orthodontic treatment refers to the treatment of aligning irregular teeth, and in a broad sense, it refers to the treatment of correcting various bone incompatibility between teeth and oral cavity that may occur during the growth process so that they can function normally Behavior. [0003] In general, the correction of teeth is a method in which brackets are attached to teeth, and an archwire for correction is ligated, whereby the position, inclination, or direction of the teeth are aligned by the restoring force of the archwire. [0004] Recently, a custom-made orthodontic technology has emerged that uses computer software to design the position of the b...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0012] This technology provides a method of manufacturing custom-made arch wires made of Nitinol, but requires individual manufacturing of fixtures for each patient by CNC equipment, therefore, the cost is greatly increased, and it cannot be used during heating of the wire. The metal wire is firmly tied to the fixture and detached, which reduces the quality of the finished product
