Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of orthodontic bracket technology, specifically to an integrated double-hole guide rail self-locking bracket for orthodontic use. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, various self-ligating brackets have appeared on the market. Self-ligating bracket correction technology is a new technology that has emerged in recent years, bringing revolutionary changes to fixed orthodontic technology. It makes orthodontics more convenient; its main advantage is that it can greatly reduce the frictional resistance between the wire and the bracket. Because it adds a door to the bracket, it can directly lock the orthodontic wire in the groove of the bracket, eliminating the need for ligating wires or rubber bands to bind the orthodontic wire. Self-ligating brackets are mainly divided into two series: active self-ligating brackets and passive self-ligating brackets. However, their structures are relatively complex and difficult to manufacture. Assembly, welding, positioning, and sliding are difficult to achieve during the production process, resulting in high costs, high prices, and difficult operation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above situation and to overcome the current technical defects, the present invention provides a simple and easy-to-operate integrated double-hole guide self-locking bracket for orthodontic treatment.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows: This invention provides a self-ligating bracket with an integrated dual-hole guide rail for orthodontic treatment, comprising a ball hook, a mesh bottom, a groove, a locking plate, and a nickel-titanium wire. The groove is slidably disposed on the mesh bottom. A groove is provided below the mesh bottom, and the groove contains occlusal grooves. A locking plate mounting groove is provided on the side wall of the groove, and the locking plate is slidably disposed within the locking plate mounting groove. A ball hook insertion port is provided within the groove, and the ball hook is slidably disposed within the ball hook insertion port. A first nickel-titanium wire assembly and welding hole is provided within the groove, and a second nickel-titanium wire assembly and welding hole is provided below the groove. One end of the nickel-titanium wire passes through the first... The nickel-titanium wire assembly and welding hole is located within the second nickel-titanium wire assembly and welding hole. Two sets of the first nickel-titanium wire assembly and welding holes are provided. The second nickel-titanium wire assembly and welding hole corresponds to the first nickel-titanium wire assembly and welding hole. A convex guide rail is provided below the locking plate, and a concave guide rail is provided within the groove. The convex guide rail slides within the concave guide rail. A movable sliding groove is provided on the locking plate, and one end of the nickel-titanium wire slides within the movable sliding groove. A wing width is provided on the side wall of the locking plate, and an engaging sliding groove is provided on the side wall of the locking plate assembly groove. The wing width is engaged and slidably disposed within the engaging sliding groove. The groove body is provided with a main bow wire groove.

[0005] Furthermore, the wing width is provided in two sets symmetrically about the central axis of the locking plate, and the engaging groove is provided corresponding to the wing width.

[0006] Furthermore, two sets of convex guide rails are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the locking plate, and the concave guide rails are arranged correspondingly to the convex guide rails. The cooperation of the two sets of convex guide rails makes the horizontal movement of the locking plate more stable. At the same time, it is conducive to accurate positioning and smoother sliding of the locking plate, which is more conducive to the doctor's correction operation.

[0007] Furthermore, the slot is provided with sixteen sets, and the locking plate is provided with nine sets, so as to correct different tooth positions.

[0008] Furthermore, the nickel-titanium wire is provided in six groups to fix different grooves.

[0009] Furthermore, the tooth occlusal grooves are provided in multiple sets, and the multiple sets of tooth occlusal grooves are distributed at equal intervals.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention using the above structure are as follows: This solution provides a self-ligating bracket with an integrated double-hole guide rail for orthodontic treatment. The bracket uses nickel-titanium wire to quickly fix the mesh bottom and the slot body, avoiding the need for laser welding between the mesh bottom and the slot body. The locking plate ensures that the self-ligating bracket with an integrated double-hole guide rail for orthodontic treatment can be used for a long time. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] It should be noted that the terms “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “up,” and “down” used in the following description refer to the directions shown in the attached diagram, while the terms “inside” and “outside” refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0018] like Figures 1-3 The technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows: This invention provides a self-ligating bracket with an integrated double-hole guide rail for orthodontic treatment, comprising a ball hook 1, a mesh base 2, a groove 3, a locking plate 4, and a nickel-titanium wire 5. The groove 3 is slidably disposed on the mesh base 2. A groove 6 is provided below the mesh base 2, and occlusal grooves 7 are provided within the groove 6. A locking plate mounting groove 8 is provided on the side wall of the groove 3, and the locking plate 4 is slidably disposed within the locking plate mounting groove 8. A ball hook insertion port is provided within the groove 3, and the ball hook 1 is slidably disposed within the ball hook insertion port. A first nickel-titanium wire mounting and welding hole 9 is provided within the groove 6, and a second nickel-titanium wire mounting and welding hole 10 is provided below the groove 3. One end of the nickel-titanium wire 5 passes through the first nickel-titanium wire mounting and welding hole 9. Welding holes 9 are located within the second nickel-titanium wire assembly welding holes 10. Two sets of first nickel-titanium wire assembly welding holes 9 are provided for the nickel-titanium wire 5. The second nickel-titanium wire assembly welding holes 10 are correspondingly arranged with the first nickel-titanium wire assembly welding holes 9. A convex guide rail 11 is provided below the locking plate 4, and a concave guide rail 12 is provided within the groove 3. The convex guide rail 11 is slidably disposed within the concave guide rail 12. A movable sliding groove is provided on the locking plate 4, and one end of the nickel-titanium wire 5 is slidably disposed within the movable sliding groove. A wing width 13 is provided on the side wall of the locking plate 4, and a locking sliding groove 14 is provided on the side wall of the locking plate assembly groove 8. The wing width 13 is slidably disposed within the locking sliding groove 14. The groove 3 is provided with a main bow wire groove 15.

[0019] The locking plate 4 has two sets of wing widths 13 symmetrically arranged about the central axis, and the locking groove 14 is correspondingly arranged with respect to the wing widths 13. Two sets of convex guide rails 11 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the locking plate 4, and concave guide rails 12 are correspondingly arranged with respect to the convex guide rails 11. The cooperation of the two sets of convex guide rails 11 makes the horizontal movement of the locking plate 4 more stable, and at the same time, it facilitates precise positioning and smoother sliding of the locking plate 4, which is more conducive to the orthodontic operation. There are sixteen sets of grooves 3 and nine sets of locking plates 4 to correct different tooth positions. There are six sets of nickel-titanium wires 5 to fix different grooves 3; multiple sets of occlusal grooves 7 are equidistantly distributed.

[0020] In practical use, passive ligation is performed: the self-ligating bracket is bonded to the tooth surface using the same method as a regular bracket. After the adhesive has cured, the convex guide 11 of the locking piece 4 slides within the concave guide 12, and the flap 13 of the locking piece 4 slides within the engagement groove 14. Sliding the locking piece 4 within the engagement groove 14 facilitates precise positioning and allows for smoother sliding of the locking piece 4, which is more beneficial for the orthodontist's correction operation. The nickel-titanium wire 5 is slidably placed from the first nickel-titanium wire assembly welding hole 9 into the second nickel-titanium wire assembly welding hole 10. The nickel-titanium wire 5 and the groove 3 are welded together using the assembly welding hole, and the locking piece 4 is secured to the groove using the welded nickel-titanium wire 5. 3. Using a special tool, open the locking plate 4 to the unlocked position. Using a fine archwire, place the fine archwire into the main archwire slot 15, and then push the locking plate 4 into the locked position to close the main archwire slot 15. Since the cross-sectional dimension of the main archwire slot 15 is larger than the diameter of the fine archwire, the fine archwire can move freely without any restraint. During the orthodontic treatment using a fine archwire, teeth can be moved quickly. The locking plate 4 does not restrain the fine archwire, achieving a passive ligation function and achieving the effect of rapid tooth movement. There are sixteen sets of slots 3, each set of slots 3 corresponding to a specific tooth position for correction, so as to correct different tooth positions and expand the application range of this bracket.
