Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of dental auxiliary appliances, and in particular relates to a medicine-storing closed dental brace. Background Art

[0002] Orthodontic treatment applies force to the teeth to move them to the ideal position, align them, and adjust the bite. However, after orthodontic treatment, the periodontal tissues around the teeth are in a relatively unstable state. After orthodontic treatment, the periodontal tissues need time to recover and stabilize. At this time, the teeth are more sensitive and easily affected by external stimuli. The self-cleaning ability of the teeth will be reduced due to the wearing of braces during orthodontic treatment, and food residues are easily retained. In order to help the periodontal tissues recover, braces are needed for protection.

[0003] Traditional braces have a single function, primarily to consolidate orthodontic results and prevent recurrent tooth displacement. They are unable to effectively address the special conditions of post-orthodontic teeth, such as local inflammation and periodontal tissue repair. Currently, treatments for post-orthodontic tooth inflammation often involve topical medication or irrigation, but these medications are easily diluted or washed away by saliva, making them less effective.

[0004] Chinese patent CN115957033A discloses a drug delivery mouthpiece and its preparation method. The mouthpiece comprises a mouthpiece body, the mouthpiece body including a storage cavity for receiving oral tissue; a closure strip is provided on the cavity wall of the storage cavity, and the area enclosed by the closure strip forms a drug storage chamber, which is located in the oral tissue corresponding to the area where drug delivery is required. By placing the drug storage chamber on the mouthpiece body, the patent allows the mouthpiece to be customized according to the specific shape of the patient's alveolar structure, enabling the mouthpiece to deliver drug to the gingival soft tissue and the clinical crown separately or simultaneously. The closure strip is arranged along the edge of one of the drug storage chambers to provide a stable, sealed environment for maintaining drug concentration. This solves the problem of poor drug treatment effectiveness caused by uneven drug delivery and drug dilution in non-customized mouthpieces. It also solves the problem of inconvenient drug application to the gingival soft tissue. However, the drug filling chamber and closure strip in this patent affect comfort, making it more suitable for short-term wear. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a drug-storage closed-type braces that can treat periodontal inflammation after orthodontic treatment and promote periodontal tissue repair, while being highly comfortable and convenient and specially adapted for nighttime wearing scenarios.

[0024] The present invention will be described and illustrated in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the medicine-storage closed mouthpiece described in the present invention includes a mouthpiece body 1 arranged to cooperate with the oral tissue 2, a plurality of liquid-blocking flanges 3 are arranged on the inner side of the mouthpiece body 1, and the bottom of the mouthpiece body 1 is concave to form a liquid-blocking ridge 4. The liquid-blocking flanges 3, the liquid-blocking ridge 4, the mouthpiece body 1 and the oral tissue 2 form a plurality of medicine storage chambers. The oral tissue 2 includes teeth 201 and gums 202. The plurality of liquid-blocking flanges 3 are arranged at intervals along the arrangement direction of the teeth 201 and the liquid-blocking flanges 3 are arranged corresponding to the teeth 201.

[0027] The braces body 1 is enclosed with the oral tissue 2 through the liquid-blocking flange 3 and the liquid-blocking ridge 4 to form multiple drug storage chambers. The liquid-blocking flange 3 precisely corresponds to the inflamed area of the oral tissue 2, solving the problem that traditional braces cannot accurately administer drugs for local inflammation after orthodontic treatment; multiple independent drug storage chambers can be adapted to different inflamed areas respectively, thereby improving the targeted nature of the repair.

[0028] The side of the liquid-blocking flange 3, facing away from the mouthpiece body 1, is positioned against the teeth 201, while the other side of the liquid-blocking flange 3 is fixedly mounted on the mouthpiece body 1. One side of the liquid-blocking flange 3 seals the drug storage compartment by contacting the teeth 201, while the other side of the liquid-blocking flange 3 is fixedly connected to the mouthpiece body 1 to ensure structural stability and prevent seal failure due to displacement of the liquid-blocking flange 3 during wear.

[0029] The liquid retaining ridge 4 is arranged to fit the surface of the gum 202. The liquid retaining ridge 4 fits the surface of the gum 202 to form a physical barrier to prevent the liquid from leaking to the bottom of the mouthpiece body 1. At the same time, the liquid retaining ridge 4 can cooperate with the liquid retaining flange 3 to locate the inflamed area of the oral tissue 2, so that the drug storage chamber can accurately cover the inflamed area.

[0030] The cross-section of the liquid-blocking flange 3 is trapezoidal. The narrow portion of the liquid-blocking flange 3 conforms to the curved surface of the narrow area of the tooth 201, enhancing the seal and fit. The wide portion of the liquid-blocking flange 3 connects to the mouthpiece body 1, improving the connection stability and preventing the base of the liquid-blocking flange 3 from breaking, making it suitable for long-term nighttime wear.

[0031] The edge of the liquid-blocking flange 3 is provided with a transitional rounded corner, which reduces the foreign body sensation and irritation when wearing, solves the problem of soft tissue damage easily caused by the edges of traditional hard braces, and improves the comfort of nighttime wearing.

[0032] The edge of the liquid retaining ridge 4 is provided with a circular arc transition edge. The circular arc transition edge of the liquid retaining ridge 4 cooperates with the transition fillet of the liquid retaining flange 3 to eliminate sharp structures. At the same time, the smooth edge reduces cleaning dead corners, facilitates daily flushing and maintenance, and reduces the probability of bacterial growth.

[0033] The material of the dental brace body 1 and the material of the liquid-blocking flange 3 are both polyethylene resin.

[0034] The dental brace body 1, the liquid-blocking ridge 4 and the liquid-blocking flange 3 are integrally formed by an injection molding process.

[0035] The injection molding process can realize mass production, and the molding of the braces body, liquid-blocking flange and liquid-blocking ridge can be completed in one injection molding. At the same time, the one-piece injection molding avoids the problem of connection gaps between the liquid-blocking flange, liquid-blocking ridge and the braces body, which can effectively prevent the drug from leaking from the connection part, ensure the sealing of the drug storage chamber, ensure that the drug concentration is not affected by saliva dilution, and enhance wearing comfort.

[0036] Working principle and process:

[0037] 1. Preparation before use:

[0038] First, clean the oral cavity, remove food residues, and ensure that the surface of the teeth 201 and gums 202 are clean; clean the braces body 1 and disinfect it.

[0039] 2. Add liquid medicine:

[0040] The drug solution is dripped into the interior of the dental brace body 1 corresponding to the inflammation area.

[0041] 3. Wearing braces:

[0042] Hold the braces body 1 with the liquid medicine added, align it with the arrangement direction of the teeth 201, and gently put it into the mouth. During wearing, pay attention to adjust the position so that the side of the liquid-blocking flange 3 away from the braces body 1 fits tightly against the teeth 201, and the liquid-blocking ridge 4 fits against the surface of the gums 202 to ensure that the liquid medicine in the medicine storage chamber does not leak. After wearing, bite down gently and use the pressure in the mouth to further enhance the fit between each component and the oral tissue 2, so that the liquid medicine can continue to act on the inflamed area. This brace is specially adapted for nighttime wearing. You can sleep normally while wearing it without frequent adjustments.

[0043] 4. Removal and cleaning:

[0044] The next morning, remove the mouthpiece body 1 from the mouth. Rinse the mouthpiece body 1, the liquid-blocking flange 3, and the liquid-blocking ridge 4 with clean water to remove any residual liquid medicine and oral secretions. After cleaning, store the mouthpiece in a ventilated, dry place for future use.
