[0002] In the process of orthodontic correction of teeth using orthodontic self-ligating brackets, first, the orthodontic self-ligating brackets need to be pressed onto the teeth through light-curing materials (such as light-curing glue), and then the orthodontic self-ligating brackets need to be pressed to squeeze out the excess light-curing materials, and then all the squeezed-out light-curing materials need to be scraped off with a dental probe, and finally, the position of the orthodontic self-ligating brackets needs to be illuminated with an LED halogen lamp, so that the light-curing materials between the orthodontic self-ligating brackets and the teeth become hard, thereby completing the bonding and fixing of the orthodontic self-ligating brackets on the teeth. The reason why all the squeezed-out light-curing materials need to be scraped off is that if they are not scraped cleanly, the remaining light-curing materials will cause tooth pigmentation and affect the appearance.

[0031] Specifically, the end of the first probe 2 close to the handle 1 is provided with two first screw holes 203 distributed along the left and right sides, the left end of the handle 1 is provided with a first mounting tube 101, and the side wall of the first mounting tube 101 is provided with two first waist-shaped holes 102 distributed along the left and right sides; the end of the first probe 2 extends into the first mounting tube 101, and the two first waist-shaped holes 102 are respectively connected and fixed with the two first screw holes 203 by two first screws 103. Function: On the one hand, through the connection of the two first screws 103, the detachable fixation of the first probe 2 is realized, and the replacement of the first probe 2 is convenient. On the other hand, through the setting of the two first waist-shaped holes 102, the first screw 103 can be displaced and adjusted along the length direction of the first waist-shaped hole 102, so as to realize the inclination angle adjustment or displacement adjustment of the first probe 2, and facilitate the adjustment to the use angle accustomed to by the dentist.
[0032] Specifically, the first probe 2 includes a first straight segment 21 and an arc segment 22 which are arranged from right to left in sequence, the first straight segment 21 is connected to the arc segment 22, two first screw holes 203 are arranged on the first straight segment 21, and the first pointed head 201 and the first external thread 202 are arranged on the arc segment 22. Function: Through the arc segment 22, the first probe 2 has an arc-shaped scraping working angle.
[0033] Specifically, the center direction of the arc segment 22 faces forward, and two first waist-shaped holes 102 are arranged on the upper side wall of the first mounting tube 101. The length of the first waist-shaped holes 102 extends forward and backward, so that the first probe 2 can be adjusted forward and backward. Function: The forward and backward tilt adjustment of the first probe 2 can better cooperate with the center direction of the arc segment 22 facing forward.
[0034] Specifically, the second probe 3 is provided with two second screw holes 303 distributed along the left and right sides at one end close to the handle 1, and the second mounting tube 104 is provided at the right end of the handle 1. The side wall of the second mounting tube 104 is provided with two second waist-shaped holes 105 distributed along the left and right sides; the end of the second probe 3 extends into the second mounting tube 104, and the two second waist-shaped holes 105 are respectively connected and fixed with the two second screw holes 303 by two second screws 106. Function: On the one hand, through the connection of the two second screws 106, the second probe 3 can be detachably fixed, which is convenient for replacing the second probe 3. On the other hand, through the setting of the two second waist-shaped holes 105, the second screw 106 can be displaced and adjusted along the length direction of the second waist-shaped holes 105, so as to realize the inclination angle adjustment or displacement adjustment of the second probe 3, which is convenient for adjusting to the use angle that the dentist is accustomed to.

Function: Through the L-shaped segment 32, the second probe 3 has a certain bending angle, so that the second probe 3 can have an L-shaped specific scraping angle. From this, it can be known that the reason why there are two probes (i.e., the first probe 2 and the second probe 3) instead of one scraper and one pointed head is mainly because the bending angles of the two probes (one arc-shaped and the other bent) are different. Because scraping work sometimes requires different angles (such as changes in the scraping position and angle), the provision of two probes is necessary.
[0036] Specifically, the angle of the L-shaped section 32 faces rearward, and two second waist-shaped holes 105 are provided on the upper side wall of the second mounting tube 104. The length of the second waist-shaped holes 105 extends forward and backward, so that the second probe 3 can be adjusted forward and backward.
