Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a comfortable, arc-shaped self-locking support. Background Technology

[0002] Modern orthodontics began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, evolving from the initial fixed braces system to the increasingly diverse types of self-ligating brackets available today.

[0003] In clinical orthodontic applications, self-ligating brackets are becoming increasingly widespread, and the concept of a rounded shape is being accepted by more and more patients and doctors. Currently, there are many types of self-ligating brackets with rounded shapes, and they are expensive. This is mainly because the rounded appearance leads to complex product structures and increased manufacturing complexity. To address this, we propose a comfortable, rounded self-ligating bracket. While maintaining a rounded shape and ensuring patient comfort, we simplify the push-piece structure, reduce the product height, and adjust the radius of the arc. Furthermore, while ensuring smooth and stable push-piece movement, we replace the common external single track with an embedded double track, improving the comfort of wearing the orthodontic self-ligating bracket and the stability of the push-piece opening and closing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a comfortable, rounded self-ligating bracket that solves the problems mentioned in the background art. While ensuring a rounded shape and a comfortable wearing angle for the patient, it simplifies the pusher structure, reduces the product height, and adjusts the arc amplitude. At the same time, while ensuring smooth and stable pusher movement, it changes the common external single track to an internal double track, improving the wearing comfort of the orthodontic self-ligating bracket and the stability of the pusher opening and closing.

[0005] The present invention provides the following solution to the above-mentioned technical problems: a comfortable arc-shaped self-locking bracket, comprising a self-locking bracket body and a bracket pusher, wherein the self-locking bracket body is fixedly connected to a bracket base, a bracket pin is provided at the middle position of the top of the self-locking bracket body, a traction ball hook is fixedly installed at the middle position of the outer wall of the self-locking bracket body, a limiting slot adapted to the bracket pin is provided at the middle position of the bracket pusher, a bracket groove is provided at the middle position of the self-locking bracket body, and limiting strips are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the self-locking bracket body near the middle position, and a limiting track is provided on the bracket pusher corresponding to the two limiting strips.

[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0007] Furthermore, the self-locking bracket body is bonded to the tooth enamel surface via the bracket base.

[0008] Furthermore, the bracket groove of the self-ligating bracket body is used to place the orthodontic wire, and multiple sets of self-ligating bracket bodies can limit the orthodontic wire and can apply external mechanical force when aligning teeth.

[0009] Furthermore, the traction ball hook of the self-ligating bracket body is used to connect orthodontic attachments, which can apply external mechanical force when aligning teeth.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer walls of both the self-locking bracket body and the bracket pusher are designed with an arc-shaped structure. Compared with other arc shapes and traditional flat surfaces, the flat arc can reduce the protruding and angular feel when wearing the garment, thus improving the comfort of the touch.

[0011] Furthermore, the limiting track is an embedded double track with a continuous structure, which reduces the amplitude of wobbling and increases the stability of the product's pusher opening and closing compared to commonly used external tracks. This provides dentists with a better user experience during treatment.

[0012] Furthermore, a latching groove is provided at the gap between the top of the self-locking bracket body and the bracket pusher piece to facilitate the sliding of the bracket pusher piece at the self-locking bracket body.

[0013] Furthermore, the bracket pin is a spring pin, and the self-locking bracket body has a groove adapted to the bracket pin. The bracket pin is installed inside the groove, and the bracket pin can retract into the groove of the self-locking bracket body.

[0014] Furthermore, the limiting slot is configured as an oblong slot that matches the diameter of the bracket pin.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention provides a comfortable, arc-shaped self-locking bracket, which has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. The self-ligating bracket body is bonded to the enamel surface of the teeth through the bracket base. The orthodontic wire can be placed in the bracket slots of multiple self-ligating bracket bodies to apply external mechanical force when aligning the teeth. The limiting track of the bracket pusher can be locked into the limiting strip of the self-ligating bracket body. The retractable bracket pin can be placed in the limiting slot of the bracket pusher for limiting, so that the orthodontic wire can be stably placed in the bracket slot. The traction ball hook of the self-ligating bracket body is used to connect orthodontic accessories and can apply external mechanical force when aligning the teeth, thereby positioning the orthodontic teeth.

[0017] 2. The outer walls of the self-locking bracket body and the bracket pusher are both designed with an arc-shaped structure. Compared with other arc shapes and traditional flat surfaces, the flat arc can reduce the protruding and angular feel when wearing, and improve the comfort of wearing.

[0018] 3. The limiting track is an embedded double track with a continuous structure. Compared to commonly used external tracks, this reduces wobbling and increases the stability of the product's pusher opening and closing. This provides dentists with a better user experience during treatment.

[0019] 4. The pusher's track structure is a through-type design, which facilitates mold design during production, reducing mold costs and production complexity. At the same time, it does not affect the overall appearance or patient comfort.

[0020] 5. This self-ligating bracket structure simplifies the push-piece structure, reduces the product height, and adjusts the arc amplitude while ensuring a rounded shape and patient comfort. At the same time, it changes the common external single track to an internal double track while ensuring smooth and stable push-piece movement, thus improving the wearing comfort of the orthodontic self-ligating bracket and the stability of the push-piece opening and closing.
