Multi-functional orthodontic dental appliance

Abstract

The invention belongs to a multifunctional orthodontic appliance. The problem to be solved is that there is no special tool for regulating the end of ligation wire and removing the ligation wire, which causes the end of ligation wire to be pressed and not tight, easy to be exposed and self-fallen, and there is also no special tool for removing the ligation wire, which causes time-consuming and laborious operation and low efficiency; the cover of self-locking bracket is inconvenient to open, and the tool needs to be frequently replaced. The technical scheme is that the appliance is in the shape of a flat fish body; the fish mouth part is provided with a ligation wire regulating device for regulating the end of ligation wire; the fish tail part is provided with a blunt sharp side for opening and closing the cover of self-locking bracket; and the other side of the fish tail part is provided with a hook sharp for prying the end of ligation wire out of position. The appliance is suitable for orthodontic operation.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention pertains to tools used in orthodontic treatment, and in particular, a multifunctional orthodontic manipulator. Background Technology

[0002] In clinical orthodontic procedures, when fabricating orthodontic appliances, the archwire needs to be inserted into the brackets and secured with ligatures. The cut ends of the ligatures must be neatly aligned and tightly fitted within the appliance's gaps, without protrusion. Otherwise, the appliance may be damaged when the patient speaks, eats, or brushes their teeth, causing the ligatures to come loose and potentially leading to swallowing or injury to the patient's lips and cheeks. Currently, there are no specialized tools for straightening and removing the ligature ends, resulting in loose ends that are easily exposed. Removing the ligatures is also time-consuming, laborious, and inefficient. Furthermore, the sliding covers of self-ligating brackets are inconvenient to open, requiring frequent tool changes. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional orthodontic manipulator to address the shortcomings of the prior art: the lack of specialized tools for straightening and removing ligature wire ends (broken ends) leads to loose wire ends that are easily exposed; the absence of specialized tools for removing ligature wires results in time-consuming, laborious, and inefficient operations; and the sliding covers of self-ligating brackets are inconvenient to open, requiring frequent tool changes. The technical solution adopted to solve this problem is: a multifunctional orthodontic manipulator, characterized in that: the manipulator is shaped like a planar fish; a ligature wire straightener is provided at the mouth of the fish for straightening the ligature wire ends; a blunt tip is provided on one side of the tail of the fish for opening and closing the sliding cover of the self-ligating bracket; and a hook tip is provided on the other side of the tail of the fish for prying up and dislodging the ligature wire ends. The ligature wire straightener is a groove with a vertical width of 2mm and a horizontal depth of 1mm. The tip of the hook tip on the other side of the tail of the fish has a length of 3mm.

[0004] The beneficial effects of this invention compared to the prior art are as follows: Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the instrument features a ligature wire straightener at the mouth section to facilitate pressing the ligature wire end (broken end) into the orthodontic appliance gap, which is both convenient and secure, ensuring the ligature wire end is firmly pressed and not exposed. A blunt tip is provided on one side of the tail section to open the sliding cover of the self-ligating bracket without changing other tools. A hook tip is provided on the other side of the tail section to easily pry open and lift the ligature wire end pressed into the orthodontic appliance gap, facilitating ligature wire removal. This invention integrates three functions into one: ligature wire straightening and concealment, prying and lifting for removal, and opening the sliding cover of the self-ligating bracket. It is convenient and quick, allowing for multiple functions to be performed with a single instrument, making it highly efficient and practical. Attached Figure Description
