[0046] The present invention discloses a lingual device for orthodontic retention and periodontal fixation splint, comprising: an upper jaw portion and a lower jaw portion;
[0047] The maxillary portion includes a first retaining portion and a pair of first guiding portions, the first retaining portion is used to fit the lingual side of the crowns of the maxillary anterior teeth and the maxillary canines and the maxillary first molars on both sides of the maxillary anterior teeth, one end of each first guiding portion is connected to a side of the first retaining portion close to the maxillary first molar, and the other end extends along the crown of the maxillary first molar to the occlusal surface of the maxillary first molar;
[0048] The mandibular part includes a second retention part and a pair of second guide parts. The second retention part is used to fit the lingual side of the crowns of the mandibular anterior teeth and the mandibular canines and mandibular first molars on both sides of the mandibular anterior teeth. One end of each second guide part is connected to one side of the second retention part close to the mandibular first molar, and the other end extends along the crown of the mandibular first molar to the occlusal surface of the mandibular first molar.
[0049] Specifically, when in use, the maxillary part and the mandibular part are placed on the dental arch according to the positioning of the first guide part and the second guide part, respectively, and the maxillary part is removed after marking the lingual side of the teeth on the root side of the maxillary part with a fluid resin, and the first guide part is removed with a bur and positioned again according to the marked position, and finally the maxillary part and the mandibular part are fixed on the corresponding dental arch with a light-curing resin to achieve precise positioning and reduce the difficulty of bonding. The present invention is conducive to clinical precise positioning bonding and oral hygiene maintenance, and at the same time adopts a personalized design to match the patient's crown, increase the bonding area, improve the bonding strength, optimize the stability of the device in the mouth, and has a simple structure, which improves the patient's comfort and is convenient for clinical use.
[0050] Furthermore, the first retaining portion and the second retaining portion are both arranged across the spaces between the teeth, thereby avoiding blockage of the inter-tooth overflow channel.
[0051] As an optional solution, the transverse cross-sections of the first retention portion and the second retention portion are both semicircular, including a straight side and an arc side, the straight side is used to fit the crown, and the arc side faces the tongue side;
[0052] The straight side surfaces of the first retaining portion and the second retaining portion are granular, and the arc side surfaces are smooth.
[0053] Specifically, the above-mentioned transverse cross section refers to a cross section perpendicular to the length direction of the first retaining portion (or the second retaining portion).
[0054] Furthermore, one side surface of the first retention part and the second retention part is designed to be flat and have particles, which can cooperate with the resin to fit tightly on the lingual side of the crown, and the other side surface is designed to be arc-shaped and smooth, which is easy to clean.
[0055] As an optional solution, one end of each first guide portion is connected to the mesial part of the maxillary first molar on one side of the first retention portion, and the other end extends along the central groove of the occlusal surface of the maxillary first molar to the distal fossa of the occlusal surface of the maxillary first molar.
[0056] As an optional solution, one end of each first guide portion is connected to the lingual side of the maxillary first molar on one side of the first retention portion, and the other end extends along the crown of the maxillary first molar to the central groove of the occlusal surface of the maxillary first molar.
[0057] Specifically, when one end of the first guide portion is connected to the lingual side of the maxillary first molar on one side of the first retention portion, the connection point is located at the lingual side of the maxillary first molar at a position one-third of the distance from the maxillary first molar to the distal end.
[0058] Furthermore, the above two configurations of the first guide portion can both quickly achieve accurate positioning, and can be flexibly selected according to the patient's crown shape and oral condition during specific use.
[0059] As an optional solution, one end of each second guide portion is connected to the lingual side of the mandibular first molar on one side of the second retention portion, and the other end extends along the crown of the mandibular first molar to the central groove of the occlusal surface of the mandibular first molar.
[0060] Specifically, the central groove extending to the occlusal surface of the mandibular first molar does not affect the occlusion and can also play a positioning role.
[0061] As an optional solution, the first retaining portion is integrally formed with the pair of first guiding portions, and the second retaining portion is integrally formed with the pair of second guiding portions.
[0062] Specifically, the lingual device of the present solution is designed by computer based on the patient's dental arch data and then integrally formed through 3D printing technology. It is highly consistent with the shape of the patient's dental arch, further improving the intraoral stability.
[0063] As an optional solution, the first retaining portion and the second retaining portion have a width of 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm and a thickness of 0.4 mm to 1.0 mm.
[0064] Specifically, the above-mentioned width refers to the distance between the edge of the first retention part (or the second retention part) close to the root side and the edge close to the occlusal surface side, and the thickness refers to the distance between the lingual surface of the first retention part (or the second retention part) and the crown side surface.
[0065] When the lingual device of the present solution is used as an orthodontic retainer, the thickness of the first retaining portion and the second retaining portion is 0.4mm to 0.7mm; when the lingual device of the present solution is used as a periodontal fixation splint, the thickness of the first retaining portion and the second retaining portion is 0.6mm to 1.0mm.
[0066] As an optional solution, the width of the first guide portion at the connection with the first retaining portion is 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm, the thickness is 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm, and the thickness of the second guide portion is the same as that of the second retaining portion.
[0067] Specifically, since the first guide part needs to be ground off during use, the thickness should not be too large to avoid wasting more time on grinding off. Since the second guide part is always connected to the teeth during use, it must have a certain strength and is therefore set to be the same thickness as the second retaining part.
[0068] As an option, the upper jaw part and the lower jaw part are made of alloy.
[0069] The present invention also discloses a manufacturing method for manufacturing the above-mentioned lingual device for orthodontic retention and periodontal fixation splint, comprising the following steps:

[0074] 5) Polish and grind the maxillary and mandibular parts to make the surfaces exposed in the patient's mouth delicate and smooth.
[0075] Specifically, the lingual device made by this method can be highly compatible with the patient's dental arch, improve the patient's comfort, reduce the difficulty of bonding, and is conducive to clinical precise positioning of bonding, increasing the bonding area, improving the bonding strength, and optimizing the stability of the device in the mouth.
[0076] Furthermore, intraoral direct scanning or model scanning is used to obtain scanning data, which reduces the number of processes and is fast and accurate.
[0077] As an option, step 2) includes:
[0078] The scan data is input into medical image processing and 3D design software to create a virtual jaw model containing the patient's upper and lower tooth crowns and occlusal relationship.
[0079] As an option, step 3) includes:
[0080] 3.1) According to the shape of the maxillary dental arch, a virtual model of the first retention part is established on the lingual side of the maxillary crown;
