Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of orthodontics, and more specifically, relates to a method for manufacturing a universal orthodontic arch wire and the orthodontic arch wire. Background Art

[0002] In orthodontic clinical treatment, the standard procedure for correcting crooked teeth is to attach each tooth to an archwire, and use the deformation and resetting ability of the archwire to pull the teeth to the target position. In clinical operations, orthodontists will bend the archwires according to the standard arch shape diagram or use pre-made archwires, and then make personalized adjustments according to the conditions of different patients. If an inappropriately shaped archwire is used for correction, the therapeutic effect may be poor, or the correction effect may not be well maintained. Existing commercially available archwires and arch shape diagrams often need to be adjusted again before clinical use, which increases the orthodontist's chairside operation time; and for some archwires made of materials that are not easy to bend, if they cannot be adjusted to a suitable arch shape, it is more likely to have a negative impact on the efficacy.

2. The method for making a universal orthodontic archwire according to claim 1, characterized in that: The step 4) further includes: adjusting the positions of the two second intersection points and the two third intersection points according to the patient's dental arch shape data.

3. The method for making a universal orthodontic archwire according to claim 2, characterized in that: When the patient's dental arch shape is wider than the standard dental arch shape: Move the two second intersection points away from the y-axis by 0.4 mm-0.6 mm; The two third intersection points are moved 0.9 mm-1.1 mm away from the y-axis.

4. The method for making a universal orthodontic archwire according to claim 2, characterized in that: When the patient's dental arch shape is narrower than the standard dental arch shape: Move the two second intersection points toward the y-axis by 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm; The two third intersection points are moved 0.9 mm to 1.1 mm in a direction close to the y-axis.

5. The method for manufacturing a universal orthodontic archwire according to claim 1, characterized in that: The step 7) includes: the smooth curve sequentially connects the third intersection, the second intersection, and the first intersection on one side of the Y axis, and sequentially connects the first intersection, the second intersection, and the third intersection on the other side of the Y axis along the circumference of the circle through the origin.

6. The method for manufacturing a universal orthodontic archwire according to claim 1, characterized in that: The r in step 6) is 24 mm-26 mm; the length of the extension line in step 8) is 19 mm-21 mm.

7. A universal orthodontic archwire, characterized in that: The universal orthodontic arch wire is manufactured according to the manufacturing method of any one of claims 1 to 6, and the universal orthodontic arch wire comprises: Maxillary orthodontic archwire and mandibular orthodontic archwire; The maxillary orthodontic archwire comprises a first arc segment and a first extended line segment connected to both ends of the first arc segment, wherein the first arc segment is used to connect the maxillary incisor and the maxillary canines, maxillary premolars, and maxillary first permanent molars on both sides of the maxillary incisor; The mandibular orthodontic arch wires all include a second arc segment and a second extended line segment connected to both ends of the second arc segment, and the second arc segment is used to connect the mandibular incisor and the mandibular canines, mandibular premolars, and mandibular first permanent molars on both sides of the mandibular incisor.
