Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of oral restoration technology, and in particular to braces and tooth restoration systems. Background Art

[0002] In orthodontics, "Turbo Bite" or "bite corrector" refers to a small corrective device that is usually adhered to a certain part of the braces. Its function is to prevent the teeth from fully biting, thereby helping to adjust the bite state. This device can protect the braces, prevent damage to the braces from overbiting, and assist in the implementation of certain corrective treatments. One of the application methods of the bite corrector is to add small blocks to the occlusal surface to raise it. As a tooth correction technology, raising it has the functions and effects of optimizing chewing function, promoting the alignment of teeth, improving the correction effect, and reducing the risk of tooth damage. However, after raising the height, the occlusal surface of the braces will be filled, causing the patient's upper and lower teeth to lose their occlusal alignment. Summary of the invention

[0030] In addition, if the terms "first" or "second" appear, these terms are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of this application, if the term "plurality" appears, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0031] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, if the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like appear, these terms should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrated connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, if there is a description that a first feature is "above" or "below" a second feature, etc., or similar descriptions appear, it may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium.

[0033] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. If any, the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.

[0034] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides a mouthpiece, the mouthpiece includes a main body 1000 and an attached body 2000. It should be noted that although the mouthpiece is limited to two parts, the main body 1000 and the attached body 2000, and based on Figure 1 and Figure 2 The virtual dividing line 3000 in the figure clearly separates the main body 1000 and the appendage 2000, but it does not mean that the main body 1000 and the appendage 2000 are two independent parts. For example, in one embodiment, the main body 1000 and the appendage 2000 can be configured as an integrally formed structure, and the main body 1000 and the appendage 2000 are configured with the same material. The manufacturing method of the braces may include printing the main body 1000 and the appendage 2000 as an integral part using 3D printing, thereby forming an integrally formed braces with the same material.

[0035] For example, the 3D printing method can be selected as liquid resin printing, also known as liquid resin photocuring 3D printing. Liquid resin printing is an additive manufacturing technology that uses liquid photosensitive resin as material and constructs three-dimensional objects layer by layer through the principle of photocuring.

[0036] The basic principle of liquid resin printing is photocuring reaction, that is, when light of a specific wavelength is irradiated to the liquid photosensitive resin, the photoinitiator in the resin absorbs light energy and produces active species such as free radicals or cations. These active species trigger the polymerization reaction of monomers and prepolymers in the resin, so that the liquid resin quickly changes from liquid to solid, and prints a solid model on the molding table. The model is the above-mentioned braces. When the model is printed, it is in a suspended state upside down on the molding table. At this time, an automatic unloading device is required to separate the top of the model from the molding table so that the model falls freely.

[0037] Based on the above-mentioned 3D printing method, the shape and position of the appendage 2000 on the main body 1000 can be freely adjusted. Specifically, the operator can customize the shape and position of the appendage 2000 on the main body 1000 on the digital model according to the treatment needs, so as to design the best structure suitable for the patient's oral problems.

[0038] In addition, those skilled in the art can select appropriate materials and 3D printing methods according to actual needs, which are not limited here.

[0039] The main body 1000 includes a main body inner surface and a main body outer surface, the main body inner surface of the main body 1000 is provided with a plurality of tooth housing cavities 1100, the main body outer surface of the main body 1000 is provided with a plurality of tooth protrusions 1200, and each of the tooth housing cavities 1100 is positioned relative to a matching tooth protrusion 1200. Meanwhile, the appendage 2000 includes an appendage inner surface and an appendage outer surface, the appendage inner surface of the appendage 2000 is provided with a matching recess 2100, and the appendage outer surface of the appendage 2000 is provided with a matching protrusion 2200. At this time, the appendage 2000 can be used as a padding structure for the outer convex surface of the tooth protrusion 1200, and the matching recess 2100 of the appendage 2000 can be limited to be matched and nested with the outer convex surface of the tooth protrusion 1200, thereby forming a padding structure on the outer convex surface of the tooth protrusion 1200 of the dental cap that is completely the same as the structure of the tooth protrusion 1200.

[0040] Since different tooth external protrusions 1200 among the plurality of tooth external protrusions 1200 have external protrusion surfaces of different shapes, and different tooth body shell cavities 1100 among the plurality of tooth shell cavities 1100 have shell surfaces of different shapes, each tooth external protrusion 1200 and tooth body shell cavities 1100 are formed into a unique structure that matches a specific tooth shape. Therefore, the number of the appendages 2000 is configured to be one or more, and each appendage 2000 is configured to match with a tooth external protrusion 1200, that is, to be set on a matching tooth external protrusion 1200, so that the matching recess 2100 of each appendage 2000 is configured to match and nest with at least a portion of the external protrusion surface of a matching tooth external protrusion 1200.

[0041] Of course, in one embodiment, the matching recess 2100 of each of the appendages 2000 can be configured to match and nest with a portion of the outer convex surface of a matching tooth outer protrusion 1200, or, it can also be limited that the matching recess 2100 of each of the appendages 2000 is configured to match and nest with the entire outer convex surface of a matching tooth outer protrusion 1200. Moreover, the matching outer protrusion 2200 of each of the appendages 2000 is configured to have the same shape as a portion of the outer convex surface of a matching tooth outer protrusion 1200, or, the matching outer protrusion 2200 of each of the appendages 2000 is configured to have the same shape as the entire outer convex surface of a matching tooth outer protrusion 1200.

[0042] The thickness value of any position of the appendage 2000 can be set to be the same at each position according to actual needs, or adjusted to different thickness values ​​at specific positions according to actual conditions, thereby achieving customized adjustment of the thickness value of any position of the appendage 2000, which depends on the customization function of 3D printing. For example, in one embodiment, the thickness value of the appendage 2000 is set between 0.1 mm and 2 mm.

[0043] Therefore, based on the braces provided above, a matching attachment part 2000 can be set on the main body part 1000 of the braces on the convex surface of the required tooth external protrusion 1200 as needed. The attachment part 2000 is based on a matching recess 2100 that matches the convex surface structure of the tooth external protrusion 1200, so that the attachment part 2000 can be matched and nested with the matching tooth external protrusion 1200.

[0044] Thus, a raised structure that matches the shape of the tooth protrusion 1200 can be constructed on the above-mentioned required tooth protrusion 1200. The raised structure is different from the ordinary flat raised structure in the prior art, but is a raised structure that matches the convex surface structure of the specific tooth protrusion 1200. Since the thickness value at any position of the attached part 2000 can be customized, the matching protrusion 2200 of the attached part 2000 can also construct a surface shape and structure that can match the matching tooth surface or another matching brace surface.

[0045] The advantage of customizing the thickness value of any position of the appendage 2000 is that it can not only adjust the upper and lower occlusal surfaces to improve comfort, but also help treat the patient's occlusal problems by adjusting the thickness of any position of the appendage 2000.

[0046] For example, if the braces of the present application are braces for lower teeth, the mating protrusions 2200 of each of the attachment parts 2000 of the braces can be configured to be in mating contact with the tooth surface matching the upper teeth or the matching upper braces surface, so that the occlusal surface of the braces will not be filled like a traditional flat-plate pad structure, and the matching attachment parts 2000 can ensure that the teeth of the patient's upper and lower jaws will not lose their occlusal alignment.

[0047] In one embodiment, at least one cavitation chamber is provided on the inner surface of the main body of the main body 1000, and at least one cavitation protrusion is provided on the outer surface of the main body of the main body 1000, and each of the cavitation chambers is positioned relative to a matching cavitation protrusion. For example, the main body 1000 is configured to define a linear virtual distribution trajectory, and a plurality of tooth housing cavities 1100 and at least one cavitation chamber are provided on the inner surface of the main body of the main body 1000 along the linear virtual distribution trajectory, and each of the cavitation chambers is located between two adjacent tooth housing cavities 1100, and a plurality of tooth protrusions 1200 and at least one cavitation protrusion are provided on the outer surface of the main body of the main body 1000 along the linear virtual distribution trajectory, and each of the cavitation protrusions is located between two adjacent tooth protrusions 1200.

[0048] The present application provides a tooth restoration system, which includes the braces. Since the specific structure, functional principle and technical effects of the braces are described in detail above, they will not be repeated here. Any technical content related to the braces can refer to the above records.

[0049] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0050] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
