Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of oral orthodontic instruments, and particularly relates to a maxillary bone distractor. BACKGROUND

[0002] For patients with insufficient transverse maxillary development or narrow dental arch, the most commonly used method of orthodontic treatment is maxillary palatal expansion. Palatal expansion technology transmits orthopedic force to various bone structures of the maxillofacial region through the load of maxillary teeth, causing bone remodeling. The effect of palatal expansion is closely related to factors such as the force value, action time and retention time of the expansion arch, and the age of the patient. At present, orthodontic palatal expansion can be divided into rapid palatal expansion (RPE) and slow palatal expansion (SPE).

[0003] Rapid palatal expansion (RPE) is to increase the force every day, so the accumulated orthodontic force can reach several kilograms quickly, which can expand the palatal suture and cause less tooth inclination, and maximize the increase of bone mass greater than the inclination of teeth. It can produce more bone changes, make the palatine high, and the anchorage tooth eruption more obvious. However, the larger orthopedic force generated by the maxillary RPE has a certain impact on the teeth, and the necessity of the larger orthopedic force is also questioned.

[0004] Slow palatal expansion (SPE) is to increase the force once a week, and the orthodontic force is relatively constant, without dramatic increase, thereby reducing the accumulation of tissue fluid and bleeding, and being more in line with the physiological formation and physiological response of bone. However, SPE produces more dental arch expansion, and the tooth effect is obvious, such as molar inclination and rotation; RPE almost all cases of palatal suture appear gaps; and SPE only half of the cases of palatal suture appear gaps; RPE has more changes in the sagittal and vertical directions, and SPE produces more mandibular posterior rotation.

[0005] Angle Class III malocclusion, commonly known as "overbite", is a common malocclusion in orthodontic clinics, with a high incidence. In the growth and development period, the malformation of Angle Class III malocclusion patients will gradually worsen with the continuous forward growth of the mandible, and the malformation will gradually develop from dental, functional to bone, which seriously affects the development of the patient's jaw, oral function and facial beauty. During the growth and development period, changing environmental factors can affect the growth amount and growth direction of the craniofacial structure.

[0006] Clinically, external traction appliances are often used for early Angle Class III dental, functional and skeletal malocclusion, and treatment is performed through chin cups and maxillary forward traction devices. Such traction appliances have day and night types. The day type traction appliance is mainly distributed on the cheeks of the patient to facilitate eating. The night type traction appliance is mainly distributed in front of the patient to prevent the traction appliance from hindering the patient's sleep. However, the patient can only choose one of the day and night types according to his own needs, and cannot change them by himself. SUMMARY

[0043] As Figures 1-11An upper jaw traction device is shown, which comprises a limiting part 1, a lower jaw support 6, a positioning part and an auxiliary part 10. The limiting part 1 forms a ring structure. The lower jaw support 6 is fixedly connected with a buffer part 9 on one side; the buffer part 9 is used to pad the lower jaw of the patient to reduce the discomfort of the patient. The lower jaw support 6 is fixedly connected with a mounting frame on the side wall. The positioning part comprises support arms symmetrically arranged on both sides of the limiting part 1; the inside of the support arm is provided with at least two joints; the joints are each provided with a limiting part, which can be selected to lock the posture of the joint; one end of the support arm is connected with the limiting part 1, and the other end is connected with the lower jaw support 6.

[0044] Specifically, the traction support 8 is provided with a connecting column, and the intraoral support is bound to the connecting column in use to provide a pulling force to the upper jaw of the patient.

[0045] Specifically, one end of the movable joint is slidably connected with the fourth support rod 5, and the other end is slidably connected with the traction rod 7. In the process of changing the shape of the support arm, the movable joint is unlocked, so that the positional relationship between the traction rod 7 and the fourth support rod 5 can be changed to prevent the traction support 8 from being pulled during the process of changing the shape of the support arm, thereby causing the traction support 8 to be deviated.

[0046] In the process of use, the shape of the support arm is changed after the joint is unlocked, so that the size and direction of the traction force of the traction support 8 to the upper jaw of the patient can be changed.

[0085] One end of the first positioning member passes through the mounting block 101 and is threadedly connected with the first auxiliary rod 102. In this case, the first auxiliary rod 102 rotates around the first positioning member as the axis.

[0086] Alternatively, the first positioning member is threadedly connected with the mounting block 101, and the first positioning member passes through the mounting block 101 and abuts against the first auxiliary rod 102.

[0089] Alternatively, the second positioning member is threadedly connected with the first auxiliary rod 102, and the first mounting member is abutted against the second auxiliary rod 103 after passing through the first auxiliary rod 102.

[0090] As shown in Figures 9-11 the clamping jaw 104 comprises a fixed jaw and a movable jaw; the fixed jaw is fixedly connected with the second auxiliary rod 103; the movable jaw is mounted on the side wall of the fixed jaw through the third positioning member 71.

[0091] As shown in Figures 8-11 the traction bracket 8 is placed inside the fixed jaw, and then the movable jaw is mounted on the fixed jaw, so that the movable jaw presses the traction bracket 8 on the inner wall of the fixed jaw, and the posture of the clamping jaw 104 and the traction bracket 8 is locked by the friction force.

[0092] Specifically, the third positioning member 71 is a bolt. The third positioning member 71 is threadedly connected with the fixed jaw after passing through the movable jaw.

[0093] The use method of the embodiment is as follows:

[0094] 1. The auxiliary part 10 is mounted on the lower jaw bracket 6;
