A mandibular complete dentition occlusal splint appliance

Abstract

The present invention discloses a mandibular full dentition occlusal splint appliance, which includes an occlusal splint and an orthodontic wire disposed within the occlusal splint. The orthodontic wire includes an intermediate component and two side components; the intermediate component includes an arc-shaped main body and a double-curved labial bow. An interdental groove is provided in the middle of the arc-shaped main body, and the end of the double-curved labial bow is folded back and extends towards the arc-shaped main body; the two side components include a front section, a middle section, and a rear section that are integrally formed; a first arrow clasp is provided between the front section and the middle section, and a second arrow clasp is provided between the middle section and the rear end. Both the first arrow clasp and the second arrow clasp are located outside the teeth. The present invention is applicable to patients in the deciduous tooth stage or the mixed dentition stage. Since the tooth roots are not fully developed and cannot be force-applied, after using the device of the present invention, only the crossbite treatment can be started. It is comfortable to wear, has no obvious foreign body sensation, and can effectively improve and treat crossbite.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly to a mandibular full dentition occlusal splint appliance. Background Art

[0002] Anterior crossbite is a relatively common malocclusion deformity among children, commonly known as "underbite", which is generally caused by bad oral habits or family inheritance. If no measures are taken in time, with the growth of the child, it will not only affect the facial beauty and oral function, but also affect the normal development of the dentofacial region. The jaw bone may evolve into a true skeletal malocclusion due to long-term growth disorders. Generally, a maxillary occlusal pad with a double - curve lingual spring is commonly used as a removable appliance to push the upper anterior teeth labially; and the best time for crossbite treatment is the deciduous tooth stage or the mixed dentition stage. At this time, the tooth roots are not fully developed and cannot be force - applied. Ordinary orthodontic appliances have obvious foreign body sensations and poor effects. Therefore, the present invention provides a mandibular full dentition occlusal splint appliance for patients with anterior crossbite in the deciduous tooth stage or the mixed dentition stage. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Aiming at the above - mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a mandibular full dentition occlusal splint appliance, which has a simple and reasonable structure and is convenient for popularization.

[0004] A mandibular full dentition occlusal splint appliance includes an occlusal pad and orthodontic wires arranged in the occlusal pad. The orthodontic wires include an intermediate component and two side components;

[0005] The intermediate component includes an arc - shaped main body and a double - curve labial bow. An interdental groove is arranged in the middle of the arc - shaped main body, and the end of the double - curve labial bow is folded back and extends towards the arc - shaped main body;

[0006] The two side components include a front section, a middle section and a rear section which are integrally formed. The middle section is arranged outside the molars, and both the front section and the rear section extend from the side of the molars from the inner side of the teeth towards the arc - shaped main body; a first arrow - head clasp is arranged between the front section and the middle section, and a second arrow - head clasp is arranged between the middle section and the rear section. Both the first arrow - head clasp and the second arrow - head clasp are located outside the teeth.

[0007] Preferably, the occlusal pad is a mandibular full dentition occlusal pad, which is made according to the patient's dental cast and fits the patient's oral cavity shape.

[0008] Preferably, the orthodontic wires are attached to the inner side of the occlusal pad.

[0009] Preferably, the arc - shaped main body is used to apply force to the lower anterior teeth and lower lateral teeth, the double - curve labial bow is used to apply force to the lower canines, and the two side components are used to apply force to the molars.

[0010] Preferably, the structures on the left and right sides of the orthodontic wires are the same.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0012] The present invention is applicable to patients in the deciduous dentition stage or the mixed dentition stage, whose tooth roots are not fully developed and cannot be forced. After using the device of the present invention, the crossbite treatment can be started only. It is comfortable to wear, has no obvious foreign body sensation, and can effectively improve and treat crossbite. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Usually, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0020] As shown in the figure, a mandibular full dentition occlusal pad orthodontic appliance includes an occlusal pad 1 and orthodontic wires arranged inside the occlusal pad 1. The occlusal pad 1 is a mandibular full dentition occlusal pad 1, which is made according to the patient's dental model and fits the patient's oral cavity morphology. The orthodontic wires are attached to the inner side of the occlusal pad 1. The orthodontic wires include an intermediate component 2 and two-side components 3; the structures on the left and right sides of the orthodontic wires are the same;

[0021] The middle component 2 includes an arc-shaped main body 21 and a double-curved labial bow 22. An interdental groove 23 is provided in the middle of the arc-shaped main body 21. The end of the double-curved labial bow 22 is folded back and extends towards the arc-shaped main body 21. The arc-shaped main body 21 is used to apply force to the lower anterior teeth and the lower lateral teeth, and the double-curved labial bow 22 is used to apply force to the lower canines.

[0022] The two-side components 3 include a front section 31, a middle section 32, and a rear section 33 that are integrally formed. The middle section 32 is provided on the outer side of the molar teeth. Both the front section 31 and the rear section 33 extend from the inner side of the teeth towards the arc-shaped main body 21 through the sides of the molar teeth. A first arrow clip 34 is provided between the front section 31 and the middle section 32, and a second arrow clip 35 is provided between the middle section 32 and the rear end. Both the first arrow clip 34 and the second arrow clip 35 are located on the outer side of the teeth. The two-side components 3 are used to apply force to the molar teeth.

[0023] During use, for patients with crossbite in the deciduous tooth stage or the mixed dentition stage, a full dentition occlusal pad is worn on the mandible to open the anterior tooth occlusion. The occlusal pad is ground until the upper anterior teeth do not touch, and an anterior tooth inclined plane can be appropriately established. When the labial inclination of the anterior teeth is appropriate, the mandibular orthodontic wire is used to apply force until a normal overbite and overjet are established. The present invention is applicable to patients in the deciduous tooth stage or the mixed dentition stage, whose tooth roots are not fully developed and cannot be forced. After using the device of the present invention, crossbite treatment can be started only. It is comfortable to wear, has no obvious foreign body sensation, and can effectively improve and treat crossbite.

[0024] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention for patent, and are not intended to limit the present invention for patent. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention for patent shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention for patent.
