Abstract

A masticatory orthodontic device and a shape memory mesh are provided. The masticatory orthodontic device includes a masticatory unit which is a rigid body. The masticatory unit is configured to be removably worn on a dental arch, wherein when worn during mastication, the shape of the masticatory unit is maintained even under a stress from occlusal forces. The masticatory unit includes a teeth-receiving surface with several recesses for accommodating teeth of the dental arch. A shape memory mesh is disposed between the teeth-receiving surface and the dental arch, configured to remember the shape of the teeth in target teeth positions to guide teeth movements from initial teeth positions toward the target teeth positions. A buffering member is disposed between the teeth-receiving surface and the shape memory mesh. Occlusal forces loading on the masticatory unit are transmitted to the shape memory mesh and the teeth through the buffering member, to achieve teeth movements in the recesses.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to an orthodontic technology; in particular, it relates to a masticating orthodontic device. Background technique

[0002] Misaligned teeth can affect a person's dental aesthetics, function, and health. The purpose of orthodontics is to bring teeth into proper alignment using appliances that apply mechanical force to move teeth into a position or orientation that improves their function and aesthetics.

[0003] Traditional archwires (braces) use archwires as force-applying devices. Archwires are pre-shaped and attached to the teeth through brackets that are secured to the teeth. When initially installed, the archwire is elastically deformable to accommodate a tooth in malposition and exert an elastic corrective force thereon. The arch wire will continuously exert force on the teeth, and gradually push the teeth to their finished positions. The working principle of another kind of clear aligners without brackets used in the pri...
