For those skilled in the art, the above-mentioned specific meanings in the present invention can be specifically understood.

[0039] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the exploded structure of an appliance that can be used to place auxiliary materials and monitor the wearing time. Figure 2 This application is a schematic diagram of the rear view structure of a brace that can place auxiliary materials and monitor the wearing time, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the orthodontic appliance capable of placing auxiliary materials and monitoring wearing time comprises an orthodontic appliance body 1 and a receiving drawer 2, wherein the orthodontic appliance body 1 is an integrated structure for inducing children's tooth arrangement, and the orthodontic appliance body 1 comprises a closure pad 11, a lip and cheek stopper 12, and a tongue stopper 14, wherein a breathing hole 15 is arranged in the middle of the connection between the tongue stopper 14 and the closure pad 11, and an installation groove 13 is arranged at the middle position corresponding to the breathing hole 15 on the closure pad 11 and the lip and cheek stopper 12, wherein the installation groove 13 is a groove body having an accommodating space and an opening on the lip and cheek sides, wherein the interior of the installation groove 13 is a stepped groove body, and the groove body opening position is arranged on the lip and cheek sides.

[0040] The mounting groove 13 is detachably provided with a receiving drawer 2, and the receiving drawer 2 is a plug-in structural accessory adapted to the mounting groove 13 and capable of receiving auxiliary materials. The receiving drawer 2 comprises a receiving drawer baffle 21, a receiving drawer carrier 22, a receiving drawer breathing hole 23, and an auxiliary material groove 24. The auxiliary material is contained in the auxiliary material groove 24. Water vapor breathed by the wearer through the mouth flows into the auxiliary material groove 24 through the receiving drawer breathing hole 23. The auxiliary material in the auxiliary material groove 24 is damp and melted, and the melted auxiliary material enters the wearer's oral cavity through the breathing hole 15.

[0041] The auxiliary materials include spices, oral health products, oral health medicines and other products. The auxiliary materials are soluble solid safe materials. The auxiliary materials can be selected according to the needs of the wearer to increase children's preference for wearing or to care for the oral cavity. At the same time, the wearing status of children can be monitored according to the dissolution speed of the auxiliary materials.

[0042] The following combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 The appliance body 1 is introduced in detail.

[0043] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of a brace body 1 that can hold auxiliary materials and monitor the wearing time. Figure 3 As shown, the occlusal pad 11 is an occlusal surface adapted to the occlusion of the upper and lower teeth. The occlusal pad 11 is U-shaped in appearance, adapted to the shape of the wearer's dental arch, and is used for the wearer's teeth to occlude.

[0044] Figure 4 This application is a front view structural diagram of a brace body 1 that can hold auxiliary materials and monitor the wearing time, such as Figure 4As shown, the outer edges of the closure pad 11 extend upward and downward respectively to form lip and cheek stops 12, and the surface height of the lip and cheek stops 12 gradually decreases from the middle position of the closure pad 11 to the openings at both ends, so that the lip and cheek stops 12 are higher in the middle and lower at both ends as a whole, and are used to adapt to oral wearing and release the dental arch from the lips and cheek muscles.

[0045] In some embodiments, the lip and cheek barrier 12 includes a lip frenulum buffer zone 121 and a cheek frenulum buffer zone 122. The lip frenulum buffer zone 121 is located at the midline of the lip and cheek barrier 12, and the cheek frenulum buffer zone 122 is located in the vestibules on both sides of the lip and cheek barrier 12, and in the fan-shaped or band-shaped mucosal folds of the lower canine or premolar area. The lip frenulum buffer zone 121 and the cheek frenulum buffer zone 122 are concave in shape, and are used to avoid the lip frenulum and cheek frenulum in the mouth, and are more comfortable to wear.

[0046] The lip and cheek stop 12 has a transverse opening in the middle, and the occlusal surface of the anterior teeth occlusal position of the occlusal pad 11 is an internal hollow chamber. The transverse opening of the lip and cheek stop 12 is connected with the internal hollow chamber of the occlusal pad 11 to form a mounting groove 13 together. The mounting groove 13 is a groove body with an internal accommodating space and an opening on the lip and cheek sides, which is used to place the accommodating drawer 2 and allows the wearer to squeeze the items placed in the groove body when biting the teeth.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 4 As shown, the inner edges of the pad 11 extend upward and downward to form a tongue stopper 14. The tongue stopper 14 has a smooth upper surface and a protruding arc-shaped lower surface, which is used to fit the side of the tongue and correct the bad habit of sticking out the tongue.

[0048] The occlusal pad 11, lip and cheek stopper 12, and tongue stopper 14 together constitute an upper tooth guide groove 16 and a lower tooth guide groove (not shown in the figure). The upper tooth guide groove 16 and the lower tooth guide groove (not shown in the figure) are groove bodies for guiding the arrangement and layout of teeth. The geometric shape of the groove body is adapted to the shape of the arrangement and layout of the next stage of tooth correction in the wearer's mouth, and is used to accommodate teeth, guide tooth correction and provide correction force for teeth.

[0049] The appliance body 1 also includes a plurality of breathing holes 15, which are located in the middle of the appliance body 1 and penetrate the tongue stopper 14 and the pad 11, and are used to correct bad mouth breathing. At the same time, when the container 2 containing auxiliary materials is assembled in the installation groove 13, the auxiliary materials can be melted and enter the wearer's mouth through the breathing holes 15.

[0050] The following combination Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The installation groove 13 and the accommodating drawer 2 are described in detail.

[0051] Figure 5 The present invention relates to a correction device body 1 which can be used to place auxiliary materials and monitor the wearing time. Figure 4 The cross-sectional view along the AA direction is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the installation groove 13 includes a first groove area 131, a second groove area 132 and a limit groove 133 for limiting the position of the accommodating drawer 2. The first groove area 131 and the second groove area 132 are connected groove bodies for placing the accommodating drawer 2. The installation groove 13 realizes a detachable connection between the orthodontic device body 1 and the accommodating drawer 2.

[0052] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of a locating drawer 2 for an orthodontic appliance that can be used to place auxiliary materials and monitor the wearing time. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of a top view of a locating drawer 2 for an appliance that can hold auxiliary materials and monitor the wearing time. Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the accommodating drawer 2 includes an accommodating drawer baffle 21, an accommodating drawer carrier 22, an accommodating drawer breathing hole 23 and a limiting strip 25 for limiting position, and the accommodating drawer carrier 22 also includes an auxiliary material slot 24 for placing auxiliary materials.

[0053] The receiving drawer baffle 21 is received in the first slot area 131 .

[0054] Specifically, the drawer baffle 21 is a baffle with a certain thickness in the horizontal direction, and the drawer baffle 21 is in the shape of an arc-shaped curved strip as a whole, which is used to assemble the drawer baffle 21 and the first groove area 131 more closely and facilitate taking; the first groove area 131 is an open groove located at the lip and cheek baffle 12.

[0055] The outer surface of the accommodating drawer baffle 21 is an arc-shaped surface, and the curvature of the accommodating drawer baffle 21 is consistent with the curvature of the lip and cheek baffle 12. When the orthodontic appliance accommodating drawer 2 is connected to the orthodontic appliance body 1 (that is, the orthodontic appliance accommodating drawer 2 is inserted into the mounting groove 13), the outer surface of the lip and cheek baffle 12 is rounded without protrusions, and the orthodontic appliance body 1 is more comfortable to wear.

[0056] Furthermore, the receiving tray carrier 22 is received in the second slot area 132 .

[0057] Specifically, the inner surface of the accommodating drawer baffle 21 is connected with an accommodating drawer carrier 22, and the accommodating drawer carrier 22 is a curved surface with a certain thickness in the vertical direction, that is, the accommodating drawer carrier 22 is a curved surface body adapted to the second groove area 132, so as to increase the fit between the accommodating drawer carrier 22 and the second groove area 132;

[0058] In this embodiment, the curvature of the receiving drawer carrier 22 is the same as that of the receiving drawer baffle 21. Of course, it is conceivable that the curvature of the receiving drawer carrier 22 may be different from that of the receiving drawer baffle 21. For example, the curvature of the receiving drawer carrier 22 is larger, so that the appliance receiving drawer 2 is more tightly connected to the mounting groove 13, or the curvature of the receiving drawer carrier 22 is smaller, so that the auxiliary material groove 24 can release the auxiliary material better. The curvature of the receiving drawer carrier 22 and the receiving drawer baffle 21 is not limited here.

[0059] The second groove area 132 is located inside the front teeth occlusal surface of the occlusal pad 11. The second groove area 132 is a cavity with closed upper and lower occlusal surfaces and a hollow interior. When the wearer's front teeth are bitten, the wearer's front teeth can bite into the accommodating drawer carrier 22 assembled in the second groove area 132 and squeeze out the auxiliary material placed in the auxiliary material groove 24.

[0060] The horizontal length and vertical length of the second groove area 132 are both smaller than those of the first groove area 131, so that the installation groove 13 is stepped as a whole. Similarly, the horizontal length and vertical length of the accommodating drawer carrier 22 are both smaller than those of the accommodating drawer baffle 21, so as to improve the sealing of the overall structure when the 2 is assembled in the installation groove 13, and reduce the foreign matter in the oral cavity from entering the interior of the installation groove 13 through the assembly connection between the first groove area 131 and the accommodating drawer baffle 21.

[0061] Furthermore, a plurality of drawer breathing holes 23 are provided in the drawer baffle 21 and the drawer carrier 22. The drawer breathing holes 23 are located in the middle of the drawer 2, and the drawer breathing holes 23 cooperate with the breathing holes 15. Part of the structure of the drawer breathing holes 23 can be inserted into the breathing holes 15, so as to correct bad mouth breathing and circulate the melted auxiliary materials.

[0062] In some embodiments, the number of the accommodating drawer breathing holes 23 is 3, and the accommodating drawer breathing holes 23 include a first accommodating drawer breathing hole 231, a second accommodating drawer breathing hole 232, and a third accommodating drawer breathing hole 233;

[0063] The first drawer breathing hole 231 and the second drawer breathing hole 232 are located on both sides of the drawer breathing hole 23, and the third drawer breathing hole 233 is located in the middle of the drawer breathing hole 23, so that the first drawer breathing hole 231, the second drawer breathing hole 232, and the third drawer breathing hole 233 are arranged in an arc shape, so that when the drawer 2 is installed in the installation groove 13, the drawer breathing hole 23 is flush with the surface of the tongue stop 14, thereby improving wearing comfort.

[0064] Correspondingly, the breathing hole 15 includes a first breathing hole 151, a second breathing hole 152, and a third breathing hole 153. The first breathing hole 151 and the second breathing hole 152 are located on both sides of the breathing hole 15, and the third breathing hole 153 is located in the middle of the breathing hole 15, which is used to correct bad mouth breathing and place the breathing hole 23 of the accommodating drawer.

[0065] Specifically, the length of the accommodating drawer breathing hole 23 accommodated in the breathing hole 15 is less than or equal to the length of the breathing hole 15, and is used to wrap a part of the structure of the accommodating drawer breathing hole 15 in the breathing hole 15 to increase the tightness of the fit.

[0066] During installation, the first accommodating drawer breathing hole 231 is wrapped by the first breathing hole 151, the second accommodating drawer breathing hole 232 is wrapped by the second breathing hole 152, and the third accommodating drawer breathing hole 233 is wrapped by the third breathing hole 153, and the first accommodating drawer breathing hole 231, the second accommodating drawer breathing hole 232, and the third accommodating drawer breathing hole 233 will not be exposed outside the tongue stopper 14.

[0067] In some embodiments, it is conceivable that the number of the breathing holes 23 in the accommodating drawer can be set to two, and correspondingly, the number of the breathing holes 15 can also be set to two. In this embodiment, the number of the breathing holes 23 in the accommodating drawer and the number of the breathing holes 15 in the accommodating drawer are respectively set to three as an example for explanation, but it is not intended to limit the number of the breathing holes 23 in the accommodating drawer and the number of the breathing holes 15 in the present application. The specific number of the two is not further limited here, and it is only necessary to satisfy the mutual coordination of the two.

[0068] The accommodating drawer 2 also includes an auxiliary material groove 24, which is located on the upper part of the accommodating drawer carrier 22. The auxiliary material groove 24 is a bottom sealing groove with an accommodating space, that is, the auxiliary material groove 24 is located on the upper surface of the accommodating drawer carrier 22 and is recessed into the accommodating drawer carrier 22 for placing auxiliary materials.

[0069] The auxiliary material groove 24 is connected with the breathing hole 23 of the receiving drawer, so that the auxiliary material received in the auxiliary material groove 24 can be guided through the breathing hole 23 of the receiving drawer after being melted.

[0070] Specifically, the auxiliary material groove 24 includes a first auxiliary material groove 241 and a second auxiliary material groove 242. The first auxiliary material groove 241 and the second auxiliary material groove 242 are located on the groove body on both sides of the breathing hole 233 of the third accommodating drawer. The first auxiliary material groove 241 and the second auxiliary material groove 242 are mirror-symmetrically distributed with the midline of the accommodating drawer 2 as the center.

[0071] There is a connecting opening between the first auxiliary material groove 241 and the second auxiliary material groove 242, and the connecting opening is located on the surface of the breathing hole 233 of the third accommodating drawer, so that the first auxiliary material groove 241, the second auxiliary material groove 242, and the breathing hole 233 of the third accommodating drawer are connected, which is used to fix the position of the auxiliary material so that it does not shift, and the melted auxiliary material can flow into the oral cavity through the breathing hole 233 of the third accommodating drawer.

[0072] The first auxiliary material slot 241 and the second auxiliary material slot 242 are used to accommodate auxiliary materials. Therefore, as long as the auxiliary materials can be accommodated, the shapes of the first auxiliary material slot 241 and the second auxiliary material slot 242 can be changed, such as setting the first auxiliary material slot 241 and the second auxiliary material slot 242 to have different shapes or sizes, and the first auxiliary material slot 241 and the second auxiliary material slot 242 are not mirror-symmetrical. Such changes are also within the scope of the present application.

[0073] In some embodiments, the connecting surface between the first auxiliary material groove 241 and the first accommodating drawer breathing hole 231 has a communicating opening, so that the first auxiliary material groove 241 and the first accommodating drawer breathing hole 231 are connected. Similarly, the connecting surface between the second auxiliary material groove 242 and the first accommodating drawer breathing hole 231 has a communicating opening, so that the second auxiliary material groove 242 and the second accommodating drawer breathing hole 232 are connected. After the auxiliary material contained in the auxiliary material groove 24 is melted, it can enter the wearer's oral cavity through the first accommodating drawer breathing hole 231 and the second accommodating drawer breathing hole 232 respectively, thereby increasing the flow path of the auxiliary material into the oral cavity.

[0074] The accommodating drawer carrier 22 also includes a limiting strip 25, which is a strip-shaped structure protruding from the surface of the accommodating drawer carrier 22. The limiting strip 25 is annularly wrapped around the surface of the accommodating drawer carrier 22 and is used to cooperate with the limiting groove 133 to limit the position of the accommodating drawer carrier 22 in the installation groove 13 so that it does not fall off.

[0075] The limiting groove 133 is located on the surface of the second groove area 132 . The limiting groove 133 is a strip-shaped structure recessed into the interior of the appliance body 1 . The limiting groove is annular and covers the surface of the second groove area 132 , and is used to cooperate and limit with the limiting strip 25 .

[0076] In this embodiment, the limiting strip 25 may be slightly wider than the limiting groove 133 , so that the limiting strip 25 and the limiting groove 133 are interference fit, thereby preventing the limiting strip 25 from falling out of the limiting groove 133 .

[0077] In some embodiments, the limit strip 25 and the limit groove 133 can be mutually cooperating buckle and slot structures or other cooperating adhesive components. As long as the limit strip 25 and the limit groove 133 cooperate with each other to achieve detachable connection and retention, the specific connection method is not further limited here.

[0078] In this embodiment, the limiting strips 25 are not provided at the first auxiliary material groove 241 and the second auxiliary material groove 242, so the width of the first auxiliary material groove 241 and the second auxiliary material groove 242 is greater than the distance between the two limiting strips 25. This embodiment makes it easy for the user to make the auxiliary materials in the first auxiliary material groove 241 and the second auxiliary material groove 242 flow out during use.

[0079] Of course, when the width of the first auxiliary material groove 241 and the second auxiliary material groove 242 is smaller than the distance between the two limiting strips 25, the effect of this embodiment can also be achieved, that is, the two limiting strips 25 are not cut by the first auxiliary material groove 241 and the second auxiliary material groove 242, and the two limiting strips 25 are completely wrapped around the surface of the receiving tray carrier 22, and are accommodated in the second groove area 132 after assembly. At this time, the auxiliary materials in the first auxiliary material groove 241 and the second auxiliary material groove 242 will completely enter the wearer's mouth through the first receiving tray breathing hole 231, the second receiving tray breathing hole 232 and the first breathing hole 151, the second breathing hole 152, and the third breathing hole 153.

[0080] The auxiliary materials include solid spices, oral health products, oral health medicines, breath fresheners, etc. The auxiliary materials can be dissolved during the wearer's mouth breathing process. The dissolved auxiliary materials can enter the wearer's mouth through the breathing holes 23 and 15 of the container to care for the oral cavity and increase children's preference for wearing.

[0081] The auxiliary materials can be placed in a quantitative manner according to wearing requirements, that is, they can be placed to meet the wearing requirements for one week or one month according to the dissolution speed of the auxiliary materials, so as to monitor the wearing cycle and supervise the wearing.

[0082] The specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail above. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be modified and improved in a number of ways without departing from the principles of the present invention. These modifications and improvements also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
