Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of tooth correction, and in particular to a bracketless invisible orthodontic appliance with channel attachments and a tooth depression system. Background Art

[0002] Overbite is a malocclusion caused by abnormal vertical development of the upper and lower dental arches and / or the upper and lower jaws, which harms periodontal health, oral function, appearance, etc. Common treatment methods include lowering the front teeth, lengthening the back teeth, uprighting the lower incisors, and uprighting the back molars.

[0003] At present, the invisible orthodontic technology for lowering the anterior dentition mainly bonds retention accessories on the adjacent teeth as support, and uses the elastic force of the bracketless invisible orthodontic appliance to lower the target dentition. In the process of lowering the anterior dentition, the support teeth will be elongated by the reaction force, resulting in insufficient support and poor lowering effect of the target tooth area. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a bracketless invisible orthodontic appliance with channel accessories and a tooth lowering system which is comfortable and beautiful to wear and can provide sufficient support.

[0005] Invisible braces

[0006] A bracketless invisible orthodontic appliance with a channel attachment and a tooth lowering system, comprising transparent braces, characterized in that the transparent braces are provided with a channel attachment and a pressure zone attachment; the channel attachment comprises a wire channel and two incisions, the wire channel passes transversely through the root position of the connected teeth, the two incisions are respectively located on both sides of the wire channel and connected by the wire channel, the two ends of the wire channel are connected to the incisions, and the wire channel protrudes outward from the transparent braces toward the lips.

[0007] The setting of the channel attachment provides the traction piece with a movable moving space, avoiding the traction piece from being squeezed between the braces and the teeth, making the braces fit the teeth, ensuring that the traction piece's action point is at the incision of the channel attachment, and improving the patient's wearing comfort.

[0008] Furthermore, the channel attachment and the dental brace are integrally formed.

[0009] Furthermore, the incision is at an angle to the horizontal plane, and the angle is between 50° and 80°.

[0010] An angle is set at the incision to prevent the traction piece from slipping when the force of the traction piece is concentrated at the incision.

[0011] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the wire passage can be rectangular, elliptical, square or other shapes.

[0012] The length and cross-sectional shape of the wire passage are determined according to the shape of the traction member.

[0013] Furthermore, a concave pressure zone attachment is designed at a corresponding position of each tooth head on the braces, and the pressure zone attachment is close to the incisal end of the target tooth to avoid labial tilting during the depression of the target dentition.

[0014] Tooth Intrusion System

[0015] A bracketless invisible braces with a channel attachment and a tooth lowering system, characterized in that the tooth lowering system consists of a channel attachment, a pressure zone attachment, a traction member and an anchor point; the channel attachment includes a wire channel and two incisions, the two incisions are connected by the wire channel, one end of the traction member is hooked on the two incisions of the invisible braces, and the other end of the traction member is hooked on the anchor point; the traction member forms a pulling force at the channel attachment through the anchor point, and the pulling force is transmitted to the braces to achieve the depression of the target dentition.

[0016] Furthermore, the traction member can be an orthodontic rubber ring, a rubber chain, a coil spring, a metal wire, etc.

[0017] Furthermore, the number of support points may be one or more.

[0018] The advantages of the present invention are:

[0019] 1. Made of transparent material, it is beautiful and comfortable to wear, with little foreign body sensation.

[0020] 2. The integrated design of the channel attachment and the braces provides a movable space for the traction parts, thus avoiding the phenomenon that the traction parts are squeezed between the braces and the teeth and cause the braces to not fit.

[0021] 3. It has the advantages of sufficient support and anti-slip, and has obvious intrusion effect on the target tooth area. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
