Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oral medical equipment, and in particular to a novel orthodontic positioner. Background Art

[0002] In the clinical treatment of oral orthodontics, labial bracket correction is the mainstream orthodontic treatment method. During the treatment, the bracket is bonded to the labial and buccal surface of the patient's teeth; then the orthodontic archwire is passed through the bracket groove and installed on the bracket. The rebound force generated by the orthodontic archwire applies force to the bracket, and then the force is transmitted to the teeth through the bracket, so that the teeth move under the influence of the force, thereby achieving the orthodontic treatment effect.

[0003] The bonding position of the bracket plays a very important role in the orthodontic treatment process. The bonding position of the bracket directly affects the relationship of the tooth arrangement at the end of orthodontic correction. In order to reduce the bonding time of the bracket, doctors usually use orthodontic positioners to assist bonding, improve bonding accuracy and shorten bonding time. The usual structure of the orthodontic positioner is divided into an upper structure and a jaw pad. The upper structure is used to fix the bracket on the positioner, and the jaw pad is used to retain it on the teeth during bonding.

[0004] However, since the bracket is bonded to the tooth surface by adhesive, the adhesive is applied to the base of the bracket, and then the bracket is placed on the tooth surface using an orthodontic positioner, the adhesive is likely to overflow from the base of the bracket. Since the orthodontic positioner lacks overflow space, the adhesive is likely to come into contact with the orthodontic positioner, causing the orthodontic positioner to be bonded to the adhesive and unable to be removed. The orthodontic positioner of the front teeth is likely to rock back and forth when in place on the teeth, and the orthodontic positioner is likely to be misplaced when in place in the mouth.

[0005] Therefore, the above-mentioned technical defects need to be changed urgently. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a new orthodontic positioner, which aims to prevent the overflow of adhesive used to bond the bracket to the teeth from bonding the orthodontic positioner body and the bracket together, making it difficult to separate the two.

[0007] A technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the technical problem is as follows: a new type of orthodontic positioner, comprising a plurality of orthodontic positioner bodies, the plurality of orthodontic positioner bodies are arranged in an arranged manner, and adjacent orthodontic positioner bodies are connected by connecting pieces; the orthodontic positioner body comprises:

[0008] A jaw pad, wherein a first limiting protrusion is provided on one side of the jaw pad in the first direction;

[0009] and a clamping seat, the clamping seat being arranged at one end of the jaw pad away from the first limiting protrusion in the first direction;

[0010] Among them, the first limiting protrusion is arranged opposite to the clamping seat, and a accommodating groove is opened on one side of the clamping seat, and the opening of the accommodating groove faces the first limiting protrusion. The first limiting protrusion, the jaw pad and the clamping seat are surrounded to form a fixed groove, and a penetrating avoidance hole is opened on the jaw pad near the fixed groove, and a positioning block is detachably connected to the avoidance hole.

[0011] This embodiment is further configured such that the avoidance hole extends along the second direction and passes through the jaw pad, and a second limiting protrusion is provided at one end of the positioning block away from the fixing groove, and the second limiting protrusion abuts against the outer surface of the jaw pad.

[0012] This embodiment is further configured such that a plurality of grooves are formed on the side wall of the second position limiting protrusion.

[0013] This embodiment is further configured such that an avoidance groove is provided on one end of the second limiting protrusion close to the fixing groove.

[0014] This embodiment is further configured such that a protective member is provided on one end of the first limiting protrusion away from the jaw pad, and the protective member extends in the second direction, in a direction away from the jaw pad.

[0015] This embodiment is further configured such that the protective member, the connecting member, the first limiting protrusion, the jaw pad and the clamping seat are integrally formed.

[0016] This embodiment is further configured such that a protrusion is provided on the side wall of one end of the jaw pad in the first direction, the protrusion is provided on the side wall of the jaw pad close to the clamping seat, a step is formed between the protrusion and the side wall of the jaw pad, and the opening of the step faces downward.

[0018] This embodiment is further configured such that a notch is provided at one end of the connecting member in the second direction, and the opening of the notch faces downward.

[0019] The present embodiment is further configured such that the connecting piece is configured as a plastic piece so that the connection angle between the orthodontic positioner bodies is adjustable.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present application provides a new type of orthodontic positioner, and the present application scheme assists the positioning of the orthodontic positioner body on the teeth through a detachably connected positioning block. When the orthodontic positioner body is positioned on the teeth and the adhesive has not completely dried, the positioning block can be taken out separately, so that the avoidance hole forms an overflow space for the adhesive on the bracket. Avoid the overflowing adhesive from bonding the orthodontic positioner body and the bracket together, making it difficult to separate the two. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described above can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0031] The utility model provides Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a new orthodontic positioner is used to assist the labial bracket 2 to be bonded and fixed on the teeth, improve the bonding accuracy of the bracket 2 and shorten the bonding time of the bracket 2. Since the bonding position of the bracket 2 plays a very important role in the orthodontic treatment process, the bonding position of the bracket 2 directly affects the relationship of the tooth arrangement at the end of orthodontic correction. The main structure of the new orthodontic positioner includes a plurality of orthodontic positioner bodies 1, and the plurality of orthodontic positioner bodies 1 are arranged in an arranged manner, and the adjacent orthodontic positioner bodies 1 are connected by a connector 01; it should be noted that the orthodontic positioner bodies 1 and the brackets 2 are arranged one by one, because one bracket 2 is arranged for one tooth. Therefore, the orthodontic positioner bodies 1 between adjacent teeth are connected by a connector 01. The orthodontic locator body 1 includes: a jaw pad 11 and a clamping seat 12, the jaw pad 11 is used to be sleeved on the teeth, the clamping seat 12 is used to connect the bracket 2, and the jaw pad 11 is provided with a first limiting convex portion 111 on one side in the first direction. During use, the first limiting convex portion 111 can abut against the side wall of the tooth to assist in fixing the jaw pad 11; the clamping seat 12 is arranged on the jaw pad 11 in the first direction (the first direction is as shown in FIG. Figure 1 ) an end away from the first limiting protrusion 111;

[0032] The first limiting convex part 111 and the clamping seat 12 are arranged opposite to each other, so that the first limiting convex part 111 and the clamping seat 12 are respectively in contact with the two opposite sides of the teeth, and a receiving groove 121 is provided on one side of the clamping seat 12, and the receiving groove 121 is used to fix the bracket 2, and the opening of the receiving groove 121 faces the first limiting convex part 111, and the first limiting convex part 111, the jaw pad 11 and the clamping seat 12 are surrounded to form a fixing groove 13, and the fixing groove 13 is used to accommodate the teeth, and a through avoidance hole 112 is provided near the fixing groove 13 on the jaw pad 11, and a positioning block 113 is detachably connected to the avoidance hole 112. The avoidance hole 112 faces the bracket 2, that is, the avoidance hole 112 faces the vicinity of the receiving groove 121.

[0033] It should be noted that since the bracket 2 is bonded to the tooth surface by an adhesive, the adhesive is applied to the bottom plate of the bracket 2, and then after the bracket 2 is positioned on the tooth surface using an orthodontic positioner, the adhesive is likely to overflow from the bottom plate of the bracket 2. Since the orthodontic positioner lacks overflow space, the adhesive is likely to contact the orthodontic positioner, resulting in the orthodontic positioner being bonded to the adhesive and being unable to remove the orthodontic positioner.

[0034] The present application scheme assists the orthodontic locator body 1 in positioning on the teeth through a detachably connected positioning block 113. When the orthodontic locator body 1 is positioned on the teeth and the adhesive has not completely dried, the positioning block 113 can be taken out separately first, so that the avoidance hole 112 forms an overflow space for the adhesive on the bracket 2. In some cases, the overflowing adhesive is stained with the avoidance groove 1133 of the positioning block 113. The detachable connection method of the positioning block 113 can remove the uncured adhesive that is stained. In this way, the overflowing adhesive is prevented from bonding the orthodontic locator body 1 and the bracket 2. Among them, the positioning block 113 is connected in the avoidance hole 112 by interference fit. So that the positioning block 113 will not slip out of the avoidance hole 112 during the installation and alignment process of the orthodontic locator body 1. The tightness between the positioning block 113 and the avoidance hole 112 also needs to ensure that the medical staff can remove the positioning block 113 from the avoidance hole 112.

[0035] Further, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the avoidance hole 112 extends along the second direction and penetrates the jaw pad 11 , and a second limiting protrusion 1131 is provided at one end of the positioning block 113 away from the fixing slot 13 , and the second limiting protrusion 1131 abuts against the outer surface of the jaw pad 11 .

[0036] Further, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of grooves 1132 are formed on the side wall of the second position-limiting protrusion 1131. When taking out the positioning block 113, the medical staff can clamp the position of the grooves 1132, so as to smoothly clamp and take out the positioning block 113 from the avoidance hole 112.

[0037] Further, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an escape groove 1133 is formed on one end of the second position-limiting protrusion 1131 close to the fixing groove 13. The outer surface of the escape groove 1133 is spliced ​​to form a part of the inner wall of the fixing groove 13.

[0038] Further, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a protective member 0111 is provided at one end of the first limiting protrusion 111 away from the jaw pad 11, and the protective member 0111 extends in the second direction, in a direction away from the jaw pad 11. The setting of the protective member 0111 is a further extension based on the first limiting protrusion 111. In some embodiments, during installation, one side of the protective member 0111 abuts against the side of the tooth or the position of the gums to prevent the orthodontic positioner body 1 from shaking on the labial and lingual sides.

[0039] Furthermore, the protective member 0111, the connecting member 01, the first limiting protrusion 111, the jaw pad 11 and the clamping seat 12 are integrally formed. The integrally formed structure can reduce the assembly process, thereby improving production efficiency, and the integrally formed structure is stronger than the spliced ​​structure.

[0040] Further, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a protrusion 114 is provided on the side wall of one end of the jaw pad 11 in the first direction. The protrusion 114 is provided on the side wall of the jaw pad 11 close to the clamping seat 12. A step is formed between the protrusion 114 and the side wall of the jaw pad 11, and the opening of the step faces downward.

[0041] It should be noted that the design of the protrusion 114 is convenient for using fingers or tools as a fulcrum to pry the orthodontic positioner to dislocate and remove it, and the rounded edge design reduces irritation to the patient's mucosa when the protrusion contacts the patient's mucosa.

[0042] Further, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the side wall of the protrusion 114 is configured as an arc surface. Configuring the side wall of the protrusion 114 as an arc surface can prevent the side of the protrusion 114 from causing a stinging sensation to the patient's mucosa when it contacts the patient's mucosa.

[0043] Furthermore, a notch 011 is provided at one end of the connecting member 01 in the second direction, and the opening of the notch 011 is downward. It should be noted that the position of the notch 011 is consistent with the vertical position of the contact point between the teeth. When installing the orthodontic positioner, medical staff can compare whether the notch 011 corresponds to the seam between the patient's adjacent teeth to determine whether the installation position of the orthodontic positioner is offset. This ensures that the orthodontic positioner will not be offset when in place on the teeth.

[0044] Furthermore, the connecting piece 01 is configured as a plastic piece so that the connection angle between the orthodontic positioner bodies 1 can be adjusted, so that the medical staff can adjust the installation position of the orthodontic positioner according to the actual tooth layout, and there will be no major interference between adjacent orthodontic positioner bodies 1. At the same time, during the installation process, when the patient's teeth change slightly, the toughness allows the orthodontic positioner body 1 to have a certain installation position adjustment.

[0045] In summary, the present application provides a novel orthodontic positioner, and the present application scheme assists the orthodontic positioner body 1 in positioning on the teeth through a detachably connected positioning block 113. When the orthodontic positioner body 1 is positioned on the teeth and the adhesive has not completely dried, the positioning block 113 can be taken out separately, so that the avoidance hole 112 forms an overflow space for the adhesive on the bracket 2. Avoid the overflowing adhesive from bonding the orthodontic positioner body 1 and the bracket 2.

[0046] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
