Clear aligner with muscle deprogramming function

Abstract

An invisible orthodontic device with muscle deprogramming function includes: a brace body having multiple tooth positions corresponding to the maxillary dentition, and the brace body having grooves connecting the multiple tooth positions to cover the maxillary dentition; and an anterior tooth guide structure disposed on the brace body and corresponding to the incisors and lateral incisors of the maxillary dentition, the anterior tooth guide structure having an occlusal surface and a predetermined thickness. When the maxillary and mandibular dentitions bite, the incisors and lateral incisors of the mandibular dentition abut against the occlusal surface of the anterior tooth guide structure. Through the predetermined thickness of the anterior tooth guide structure, a separation gap is forcibly created in the posterior tooth area of ​​the maxillary and mandibular dentitions, thereby blocking occlusal interference in the posterior tooth area of ​​the maxillary and mandibular dentitions and guiding the temporomandibular joint back to the central relationship position.

Claims

1. A clear aligner with muscle deprogramming function, comprising: A dental brace body has multiple tooth positions corresponding to a maxillary dentition, and the dental brace body has a groove communicating with the tooth positions to cover the maxillary dentition; and an anterior tooth guide structure disposed on the dental brace body, the anterior tooth guide structure corresponding to the tooth position range of one incisor and one lateral incisor of the maxillary dentition, and the anterior tooth guide structure having an occlusal surface facing the mandibular dentition; wherein, the anterior tooth guide structure has a predetermined thickness, when the maxillary dentition and the mandibular dentition perform biting actions, one incisor and one lateral incisor of the mandibular dentition abut against the occlusal surface of the anterior tooth guide structure, and through the predetermined thickness of the anterior tooth guide structure, a separation gap is forcibly generated between the posterior tooth area of ​​the maxillary dentition and the mandibular dentition, thereby blocking the biting interference between the posterior tooth area of ​​the maxillary dentition and the mandibular dentition, so as to guide a temporomandibular joint back to a central relationship position.

2. The invisible orthodontic device with muscle deprogramming function as described in claim 1, wherein the anterior tooth guide structure and the brace body are integrally formed.

3. The invisible orthodontic device with muscle deprogramming function as described in claim 1, wherein the anterior tooth guide structure is detachably attached to the brace body.

4. The invisible orthodontic device with muscle deprogramming function as claimed in claim 1, wherein the occlusal surface of the anterior tooth guide structure allows the incisor and the lateral incisor of the mandibular dentition to slide freely thereon.

5. The invisible orthodontic device with muscle deprogramming function as described in claim 1, wherein the occlusal surface has an inclined angle.

6. The invisible orthodontic device with muscle deprogramming function as described in claim 1, wherein one of the separation gaps is between 1 mm and 2 mm.
