Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of orthodontic appliances, specifically to an orthodontic auxiliary heating laser device. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of orthodontic technology, more and more patients are using braces to correct their tooth alignment. During orthodontic treatment, tooth movement relies on the remodeling and repair of periodontal tissues, resulting in a relatively long treatment cycle. Patients are also prone to local pain, soreness, and mild periodontal inflammation, which can affect the treatment experience and progress. To accelerate tooth movement and alleviate discomfort, external auxiliary interventions are often used in clinical practice. Among these, thermotherapy and low-level laser therapy have been proven to effectively improve local microcirculation and promote tissue repair and bone remodeling, making them commonly used auxiliary methods in orthodontic clinical practice.
[0003] Currently, traditional orthodontic assisted treatments mostly rely on large medical laser devices or handheld physiotherapy instruments, which require patients to be operated by medical staff in the hospital and cannot be used independently at home, resulting in poor convenience. Simple heating braces have limited functionality and auxiliary effects, while laser devices are complex in structure, expensive, and have unsafe power supply and connection methods, insufficient waterproofing, and are not intuitive or easy to operate. They also lack integrated intelligent control of temperature and time, making it difficult to meet patients' needs for safe, stable, and efficient use at home. Summary of the Invention

[0011] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example
[0012] Please see Figures 1-2 This is a schematic diagram of some embodiments of an orthodontic auxiliary heating laser device according to this application.
[0013] In some embodiments, the orthodontic-assisted heating laser device can be used for home-based adjunctive treatment of orthodontic patients, primarily to accelerate tooth movement, relieve orthodontic pain, improve periodontal microcirculation, and promote alveolar bone remodeling. The embodiments shown in the figures are described using conventional invisible orthodontics as an example; similar structures can be used in other similar orthodontic treatment scenarios, and will not be elaborated further below.
[0014] It is understood that the attached drawings only schematically show the core components of the device. The actual shape, size, and layout of each component are not limited by the attached drawings. The device can also be equipped with auxiliary functional components such as disinfection and voice prompts according to usage requirements.
[0015] In some embodiments, the orthodontic auxiliary heating laser device includes a braces body 5, a main power supply 2, and a connecting line 7. The braces body 5 is equipped with a heating wire 6, a laser emitting plate 4, a temperature control module 8, and a control center 9. The main power supply 2 is equipped with a battery 10 and a wireless receiving coil. The connecting line 7 is equipped with power and signal transmission lines. The connecting line 7 and the main power supply 2 are electrically connected and transmit signals through a magnetic attraction structure.
[0016] For example, the inner side of the brace body 5 is provided with a brace liner. The brace liner is made of a soft, conforming material that can fit closely to the teeth and periodontal tissues, improving wearing comfort, while ensuring uniform and stable heating and laser effects.
[0017] In some embodiments, the main power supply 2 of the device is equipped with a wireless charging adapter 1. The charger has a built-in wireless charging coil and can charge the battery 10 in the main power supply 2 of the device wirelessly without the need to plug and unplug wired connectors, making it more convenient to use and also helping to improve the overall waterproof performance.
[0018] In some embodiments, a power cover 3 is provided on the outside of the main power supply 2 of the device. The power cover 3 integrates control buttons and a display screen. The heating temperature and working time can be set by the control buttons, and the individual heating mode, the individual laser mode, or the synchronous working mode of heating and laser can be selected. The display screen can display the temperature, remaining time, and working status in real time.
[0019] Understandably, the layout and number of control buttons and display screens are for illustrative purposes only and can be adjusted according to actual usage needs; no restrictions are imposed here.
[0020] In some embodiments, the laser emitting plate 4 is fitted and installed inside the main body 5 of the dental brace. The laser emitting plate 4 is electrically connected to the laser control module 11. The laser control module 11 is connected to the control center 9, which uniformly regulates the on / off state and working power of the laser to achieve a stable photobiological regulation and auxiliary treatment effect.
[0021] In some embodiments, heating wires 6 are evenly distributed inside the brace body 5. The heating wires 6 are electrically connected to the temperature control module 8. The temperature control module 8 monitors the temperature in real time and feeds it back to the control center 9. The control center 9 automatically adjusts the heating power according to the set temperature. When the temperature exceeds the safe range, the overheat protection is activated and the heating is automatically stopped to ensure safe use.
[0022] In some embodiments, the bottom of the connecting wire 7 is provided with a multi-layer magnetic attraction link, which can be quickly connected to the main power supply 2 of the device by magnetic insertion to achieve stable power and signal transmission. At the same time, the magnetic docking position adopts a waterproof sealing structure, which, together with the overall waterproof design of the brace body 5 and the connecting wire 7, allows the device to be used safely in the moist environment of the oral cavity.
[0023] It should be noted that the magnetic connection structure allows for quick assembly and disassembly, making it easy to clean and store. The multi-layered magnetic connection enhances connection stability and waterproofing.
[0024] In some embodiments, the control center 9 has independent control and collaborative control functions, and can start the heating function and the laser treatment function separately, or start the heating and laser functions simultaneously to meet the personalized auxiliary treatment needs of different patients.
[0025] In some embodiments, the control center 9 has a built-in timing module with a treatment countdown function. After the set working time is reached, the heating and laser output are automatically cut off to complete one treatment cycle, avoiding overtime and improving safety.
[0026] Working Principle: The patient first places the main body 5 of the dental aligner inside their mouth, ensuring the lining conforms to the teeth and periodontal tissues. The connecting wire 7 is then connected to the main power supply 2 via a magnetic structure. The patient selects the working mode, temperature, and working time using the control buttons. Upon startup, the control center 9 drives the heating wire 6 to heat up, and the temperature control module 8 maintains a stable temperature. Simultaneously, it drives the laser emitting plate 4 to emit auxiliary treatment laser. The thermal effect and the laser's biomodulation effect work together on the periodontal tissues, accelerating tissue remodeling and repair. After the set time is reached, the device automatically stops working, and the main body 5 of the dental aligner is removed, completing one auxiliary treatment session. The main power supply 2 can be recharged at any time via the wireless charging adapter 1. The overall operation is simple, convenient, safe, and stable.
[0027] In other embodiments, multi-segment temperature adjustment, multi-level laser power adjustment and other structures can be added according to the treatment needs, without being limited to the method described in this embodiment.
