AI Technical Summary
In current orthodontic treatment, the effectiveness of invisible braces is limited by the range of tooth movement. The adjustment and force application of fixed braces require professional operation, resulting in high frequency of follow-up visits, poor patient convenience, and the archwire connection affects daily cleaning and eating.
The design incorporates a self-operating quick-release assembly, including quick-release components for target teeth and anchorage teeth. Quick-release rings are provided at both ends of the archwire. Through the guide channel and slot structure, patients can manually install, remove, and replace the archwire. Combined with invisible aligners and fixed orthodontic appliances, it provides gradient orthodontic force.
Patients can operate the device safely and quickly on their own, improving treatment efficiency and compliance, reducing treatment costs, decreasing the frequency of follow-up visits, enhancing wearing comfort and the effectiveness of corrective force, and optimizing the allocation of medical resources.
