AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] 1. The patient's hands may not be dexterous, strong, or flexible enough to securely hold the aligner in place
[0007] 2. Many patients are unable to apply equal and sufficient pressure to secure their aligners into the upper and / or lower arches, resulting in possible dislodgement of their aligners
Securing the aligners into place in the patient's mouth is an extremely important step as it can damage the aligners themselves, cause gingival and / or oral discomfort, and delay the patient's treatment with clear aligners

Embodiment Construction

[0064] Dental professionals can provide their patients with braces removal kits, or patients can purchase them individually to help them remove their braces.

[0065] Patients typically keep their aligner removal tools in an aligner case, pocket, or other convenient location. Various embodiments of the braces securing tool are configured to attach to and slide along the axis of the braces extraction tool. This may help the patient to properly position the aligner fixation tools. In addition, it reduces the likelihood of a patient losing an immobilization device, which is relatively small and therefore prone to misplacement.

[0066] Specific embodiments of orthodontic appliance fixation tool

[0067] Figure 1 to Figure 5 Various views of an example embodiment of a dental appliance securing tool 100 are depicted. The aligner fixation tool 100 includes a body made of a flexible and resilient material-safe for use in the oral cavity, such as a food-grade plastic material (eg...

Abstract

The invention discloses an orthodontic appliance fixing tool which can be occluded by a user and provides enough resistance to help fix a removable orthodontic appliance. The orthodontic appliance fixing tool includes upper and lower surfaces engaging upper and lower teeth of a user, respectively, a front surface connecting the upper surface to the lower surface, and a rear surface opposite the front surface, the inner wall defining a cavity within a volume defined by the upper surface, the lower surface, the front surface, and the rear surface. The cavity has a front opening on a front surface and a rear opening on a rear surface. The cavity can allow the shaft to pass through the front opening and the rear opening, so that the orthodontic appliance fixing tool can slide along the shaft.The invention further discloses a combined orthodontic appliance removing and fixing instrument.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to dentistry, and in particular relates to a tooth straightener fixing tool and a combined tooth straightener removal and fixation instrument for assisting individuals to correctly fix teeth. Background technique [0002] At present, there are various removable orthodontic appliances on the market. These aligners are, in most cases, custom-made devices to fit a patient's teeth for orthodontic correction, maintenance of tooth position, cosmetic treatment of teeth with tooth bleaching agents, or replacement of all or part of a dental arch. Such aligners include dental clear aligners, dental removable braces, tooth retainers, partial dentures, dentures, removable palatal expanders, and teeth whitening trays. [0003] Although removable aligners can significantly improve a patient's oral appearance or function (eg, speaking or eating), many patients find it difficult to securely and evenly fit the aligners due to the pressure require...
