Description

Technical Field

[0002] In orthodontic clinics, skeletal Class III malocclusion with maxillary underdevelopment is a common malocclusion, which not only affects the patient's aesthetics, but also affects the patient's occlusal function, tooth health, respiratory function, and even the stability of the entire oral and maxillofacial system.

[0003] In recent years, many scholars have proposed different corrective devices and methods, but these devices or methods have some limitations, such as the maxillary dental anchorage device combined with an extraoral anterior traction device; using the dentition as intraoral anchorage, the maxillary bone moves forward less and the dentition moves forward more; the patient's age or the degree of craniofacial suture closure significantly affects the correction effect, and the optimal correction time is short; the anterior traction device is exposed to the patient's face, the patient's acceptance is low, and it can only be worn at night, and the time for applying the correction force is limited.

[0004] Or, as provided in the publication number "CN111568573A", an appliance for correcting maxillary skeletal width discrepancy, this patented technology sets a positioning guide and an implantation guide, which cooperate to locate the implantation position of the expander and the implantation screw, thereby reducing the difficulty of positioning the expander and improving the positioning accuracy. At the same time, by wearing a transparent brace, the patient avoids the mesial movement of the crown of the central incisor, and the root of the central incisor will gradually gather under the traction of the gingival fibers, thereby reducing the need for the root control movement of the central incisor in the later stage, shortening the treatment course, and alleviating the patient's pain;

[0005] However, since the expander needs to be adjusted regularly during use, different users have different rotation ranges when making adjustments, which can easily lead to over-expansion or under-expansion, affecting the continuity and stability of the correction process and thus affecting the correction effect.

[0043] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0044] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0045] For example, see Figure 1-11 , the present invention provides a method for jaw correction, which is as follows;

[0046] When in use, first determine the installation positions of the two spiral expander bodies 12 according to the pre-made oral model. After determination, use implant pins under local anesthesia to fix the two spiral expander bodies 12 to the upper jaw through the implant holes 13 on the spiral expander bodies 12, and fix multiple maxillary molar traction rings 22 to the adjacent molars to fix the device in the oral cavity;

[0047] After being fixed, the device is adjusted according to the actual situation of the user. The expansion frequency is once every other day, and each time the expansion is 2 / 6 of a circle. The number of expansions is determined according to the transverse width correction value of the maxillary bone. When in use, a tool is inserted into the adjustment hole 39 and rotated. The adjustment hole 39 drives the synchronization rod 36 to rotate, so that the second bevel gear 35 drives the two first bevel gears 34 to rotate, so that the two adjustment screws 32 rotate at the same time. The adjustment screw 32 is adapted to the thread groove in the moving hole 15 on the spiral expander body 12. Therefore, when the adjustment screw 32 rotates, it drives the two spiral expander bodies 12 to move away from each other, and the jaw is expanded by the movement of the two spiral expander bodies 12;

[0048] At the same time, the mandibular molar traction ring 6 is set on the lower molar, and one end of the left and right elastic traction lines 7 is connected to the traction hook on the maxillary molar traction ring 22, and the other end is connected to the traction hook on the mandibular molar traction ring 6. The traction force value on each side is between 250-350g, the traction time is all day, and the traction cycle is until the front teeth cover reaches about 2mm;

[0049] When the synchronous rod 36 is driven to rotate through the adjustment hole 39, the active tooth 37 drives the driven gear 44 to rotate at the same time, and the synchronous rack 42 is driven to slide toward the direction of the synchronous rod 36 through the driven gear 44. The abutment block 43 on the synchronous rack 42 pushes the clamping block 58 at the front end of the slider 55, and the slider 55 is driven to slide in the adjustment groove 52 through the clamping block 58, so that the first abutment rod 56 extends out of the fixed box 41. After rotating the active tooth 37 twice, the limit vertical rod 38 will contact with the first abutment rod 56 but not completely stuck, and the user can clearly feel that it is blocked when rotating;

[0050] When the synchronous rod 36 continues to rotate, the synchronous rack 42 continues to slide forward. At this time, the inclined surface of the clamping block 58 contacts the inclined surface of the limiting abutment plate 46. Under the action of the abutment block 43 and the limiting abutment plate 46, the clamping block 58 slides toward the inside of the slider 55, so that the synchronous rack 42 passes over the clamping block 58 and continues to slide forward. The second return spring 59 in the slider 55 drives the clamping block 58 to pop out from the slider 55. At the same time, under the action of the rebound force of the first return spring 54, the slider 55 is driven to slide and reset, so that the first abutment rod 56 is retracted, so that the active tooth 37 can continue to drive the limiting vertical rod 38 to rotate;

[0051] After rotating six times, the limit vertical rod 38 abuts against the second abutment rod 57 on the adjustment box 51 and cannot continue to rotate under the limit of the second abutment rod 57, thereby reminding the user that the rotation has reached the limit of each adjustment, avoiding continued rotation that causes excessive expansion and causes harm to the user of the device.

Two U-shaped fixing blocks 14 are provided on the opposite sides of the two groups of spiral expander bodies 12. The two groups of spiral expander bodies 12 are connected to the maxillary traction assembly 2 through the plurality of U-shaped fixing blocks 14. The maxillary traction assembly 2 includes a connecting rod 21. One end of the connecting rod 21 is provided in the U-shaped fixing block 14 on the spiral expander body 12, and the other end is fixedly connected with a maxillary molar traction ring 22. The maxillary molar traction ring 22 is sleeved on the molars in the oral cavity. A traction hook is provided on one side of the maxillary molar traction ring 22. The mandibular molar traction ring 6 is provided with a traction hook at the same position as that on the maxillary molar traction ring 22. The two ends of the elastic traction line 7 are respectively fixed to the traction hooks on the maxillary molar traction ring 22 and the mandibular molar traction ring 6. A screw is provided on the connecting rod 21, and the connecting rod 21 is detachably fixed to the U-shaped fixing block 14 by the screw.

[0053] The adjustment assembly 3 includes an adjustment frame 31, in which two adjustment screws 32 and two limiting slide bars 33 are arranged. Both ends of the two limiting slide bars 33 pass through the adjustment frame 31 and the moving holes 15 on the spiral expander body 12 and extend to the outside of the two spiral expander bodies 12. The two adjustment screws 32 are respectively threadedly connected to the moving holes 15 with thread grooves on the adjacent spiral expander bodies 12. The facing surfaces of the two adjustment screws 32 are fixedly connected with the first bevel gears 34. The second bevel gears 35 are arranged above the two first bevel gears 34, and the second bevel gears 35 are meshed with the two first bevel gears 34. The second bevel gears 35 are away from the two One end of the first bevel gear 34 is fixedly connected to a synchronization rod 36, the top of the synchronization rod 36 extends to the outer surface of the adjustment frame 31, the top of the synchronization rod 36 is provided with an adjustment hole 39 for driving the second bevel gear 35 to rotate, a one-way bearing is also provided in the synchronization rod 36, a driving tooth 37 is installed on the synchronization rod 36, and the driving tooth 37 is fixed to the one-way bearing in the synchronization rod 36, a torsion spring is also sleeved on the synchronization rod 36, one end of the torsion spring is fixed on the driving tooth 37, and the other end is fixed to the inner wall of the top of the adjustment frame 31, a limit vertical rod 38 is also installed at the bottom of the driving tooth 37, and the limit vertical rod 38 assists the control mechanism to limit the rotation angle of the driving tooth 37.

[0054] Specifically, when the device is used, the installation positions of the two spiral expander bodies 12 are first determined according to the pre-made oral model. After the determination, the two spiral expander bodies 12 are fixed to the upper jaw through the implantation holes 13 on the spiral expander bodies 12 using implant nails under local anesthesia, and multiple maxillary molar traction rings 22 are fixed to adjacent molars, so that the device is fixed in the oral cavity;

[0055] After being fixed, the device is adjusted according to the actual situation of the user. The expansion frequency is once every other day, and each time the expansion is 2 / 6 of a circle. The number of expansions is determined according to the transverse width correction value of the maxillary bone. When in use, a tool is inserted into the adjustment hole 39 and rotated. The adjustment hole 39 drives the synchronization rod 36 to rotate, so that the second bevel gear 35 drives the two first bevel gears 34 to rotate, so that the two adjustment screws 32 rotate at the same time. The adjustment screw 32 is adapted to the thread groove in the moving hole 15 on the spiral expander body 12. Therefore, when the adjustment screw 32 rotates, it drives the two spiral expander bodies 12 to move away from each other, and the jaw is expanded by the movement of the two spiral expander bodies 12;

[0056] At the same time, by means of the limiting vertical rod 38 provided on the active tooth 37 and the auxiliary regulating mechanism in the regulating frame 31, the rotation amplitude of the active tooth 37 can be controlled to avoid excessive rotation causing harm to the user;

[0057] When the synchronous rod 36 is driven to rotate through the adjustment hole 39, the torsion spring on the synchronous rod 36 rotates and stores force at the same time. When the device is adjusted through the synchronous rod 36, the tool is pulled out of the adjustment hole 39. At this time, the torsion starts to rebound and drives the active gear 37 to rotate. Under the action of the one-way bearing, the synchronous rod 36 will not rotate synchronously with the active gear 37. The active gear 37 and the limit vertical rod 38 are reset by the torsion spring, which is convenient for the next adjustment and correction.

[0058] At the same time, the mandibular molar traction ring 6 is placed on the lower molars, and one end of the left and right elastic traction lines 7 is connected to the traction hooks on the maxillary molar traction ring 22, and the other end is connected to the traction hooks on the mandibular molar traction ring 6. The traction force value on each side is between 250-350g of the second bevel gear. The traction time is all day, and the traction cycle is until the front teeth cover reaches about 2mm.

[0059] On the basis of the above embodiment, the regulating mechanism includes a synchronous moving component 4 installed in the regulating frame 31 and a limiting component 5 arranged in the synchronous moving component 4, the synchronous moving component 4 includes a fixed box 41, a synchronous rack 42 and a driven gear 44 are arranged on the top of the fixed box 41, the synchronous rack 42 is meshed with the driven gear 44, and the driven gear 44 is meshed with the active gear 37 on the synchronous rod 36, the diameter of the driven gear 44 is smaller than the diameter of the active gear 37, a sliding block 45 is also installed in the fixed box 41, and a limiting abutment plate 46 is installed on one end of the sliding block 45 close to the synchronous rod 36, the bottom of the synchronous rack 42 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod, the other end of the connecting rod passes through the surface of the fixed box 41 and extends to the inside of the fixed box 41, the extended end of the connecting rod is installed with an abutment block 43, the abutment block 43 slides on the sliding block 45, and the bottom of the limiting abutment plate 46 is provided with a groove for the abutment block 43 to slide, the limiting component 5 includes an regulating box 51, the regulating box 5 1 is installed on the side of the fixed box 41 away from the synchronous rack 42. An adjusting groove 52 is provided on the top of the adjusting box 51 near the synchronous rack 42. A fixing cylinder 53 is installed in the adjusting groove 52. A first return spring 54 is sleeved on the fixing cylinder 53. The other end of the first return spring 54 is fixedly connected to a slider 55. The slider 55 slides in the adjusting groove 52. A first abutting rod 56 is installed on the side of the slider 55 away from the first return spring 54. A clamping block 58 is also provided on the side of the slider 55 near the synchronous rack 42. A limiting groove for the clamping block 58 to slide is provided on the side wall of the adjusting box 51. The clamping block 58 passes through the limiting groove and slides on the sliding block 45. A second return spring 59 is also provided in the slider 55. The other end of the second return spring 59 is fixed to the clamping block 58. A second abutting rod 57 is also installed on the side of the adjusting box 51 near the synchronous rod 36. The second abutting rod 57 passes through the surface of the fixed box 41 and extends to the outside of the fixed box 41.

[0060] When in use, when the synchronization rod 36 is driven to rotate through the adjustment hole 39, the driving tooth 37 simultaneously drives the driven gear 44 to rotate. When the driven gear 44 rotates, the synchronization rack 42 is driven by the driven gear 44 to slide toward the synchronization rod 36. When the synchronization rack 42 slides, the abutment block 43 on the synchronization rack 42 pushes the clamping block 58 at the front end of the slider 55, and the slider 55 is simultaneously driven to slide in the adjustment slot 52 through the clamping block 58, so that the first abutment rod 56 extends out of the fixed box 41.

[0061] When the active gear 37 rotates, the limiting vertical rod 38 at the bottom of the active gear 37 moves with the active gear 37 at the same time. After the active gear 37 is rotated twice, the first abutting rod 56 extends out from the fixed box 41, and the position where the first abutting rod 56 extends is consistent with the position of the limiting vertical rod 38 after the active gear 37 is rotated twice. Therefore, after the active gear 37 is rotated twice, the limiting vertical rod 38 will contact with the first abutting rod 56 but will not be completely stuck. The user can clearly feel that the rotation is blocked;

[0062] When the synchronization rod 36 continues to rotate, the synchronization rack 42 continues to slide forward, and at this time, the inclined surface of the clamping block 58 contacts the inclined surface of the limiting abutment plate 46. Under the action of the abutment block 43 and the limiting abutment plate 46, the clamping block 58 slides toward the inside of the slider 55, so that the synchronization rack 42 passes over the clamping block 58 and continues to slide forward;

[0063] When the synchronous rack 42 passes over the clamping block 58, the second return spring 59 in the slider 55 drives the clamping block 58 to pop out from the slider 55, and at the same time, the slider 55 is driven to slide and reset under the action of the rebound force of the first return spring 54, so that the first abutment rod 56 is retracted, so that the active tooth 37 can continue to drive the limit vertical rod 38 to rotate;

[0064] After rotating six times, the limit vertical rod 38 abuts against the second abutment rod 57 on the adjustment box 51 and cannot be rotated further under the limit of the second abutment rod 57, thereby reminding the user that the rotation has reached the limit of each adjustment, and preventing the user from being injured by excessive expansion due to continued rotation;
