An adjustable near-infrared orthodontic accelerator for precise treatment

Abstract

The invention relates to an adjustable near-infrared orthodontic accelerator for precise treatment, which includes a base cover and a peripheral cover, the base cover and the peripheral cover form a U-shaped cover structure, and the peripheral cover There is a light-transmitting window in the middle, and a chute is provided on the peripheral sleeve of the teeth on the upper and lower sides of the light-transmitting window, and a number of laser emitting devices are slidably arranged side by side in the chute, and the laser emitting device includes a base and a slide plate arranged at the upper and lower ends of the base, the slide plate is set in the chute, and the base is provided with an infrared laser lamp. The invention utilizes low-intensity near-infrared light to irradiate teeth to accelerate tooth movement, and controllably adjusts the laser irradiation area while assisting orthodontic treatment, so that the laser action range is more precise, ensuring the accuracy and speed of orthodontic treatment, and The temperature rise of the material is small for long-term use, and the safety is strong. The light source is closely attached to the gums, and the patient does not need to occlude to achieve retention. The comfort is high, the size is small, and it is easy to carry.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of dental orthodontic instruments, in particular to an adjustable near-infrared orthodontic accelerator for precise treatment. Background technique: [0002] At present, the incidence of dental and maxillofacial deformities in my country is as high as 29.3%, which seriously affects the physical and mental health and oral and jaw functions of patients. However, according to research, the tooth movement speed during orthodontic treatment is generally 0.8-1.2mm / month. Generally, it is 18-36 months. A longer treatment process will increase the risks of enamel demineralization, dental caries, root resorption, gingival inflammation and periodontal disease, and lead to lower patient compliance, which will seriously affect the treatment effect and oral health. Therefore, it is urgent to find a safe and effective way to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement. Most of the existing orthodontic accelerators promote the ...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an adjustable near-infrared orthodontic accelerator for precise treatment, which solves the problem that the laser irradiation position cannot be adjusted with the movement of the teeth in the prior art, which affects the accuracy and speed of orthodontic treatment. The patient needs to keep the upper and lower teeth clenched to fix the accelerator, which may easily cause fatigue of the masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joints, and affect pronunciation, and the circuit box outside the oral cavity also greatly increases its volume and weight, which is not convenient for daily carrying and use.
