[0023] Example

[0024] Combined with Figure 1-2 A braces 10 with antibacterial function includes a soft layer 12 and a hard layer 11. The inner layer of the soft layer 12 is sprayed with a polar polymer coating, and the hard layer 11 and the soft layer 12 are hot-fused into an integrated structure.

[0025] The soft layer 12 and the hard layer 11 are made by hot pressing, and the soft layer 12 is hot-melted into the hard layer 11 to form the braces 10, with the soft layer 12 directly contacting the teeth.

[0026] A layer of polar polymer coating is sprayed inside the soft layer 12. The polar polymer coating is a microporous structure with hydrophilic molecular segments that can transfer water molecules. The polar polymer coating has about 8 to 9 billion micropores per square inch, and the size of the micropores is about 0.2-20 μm.

[0027] The soft layer 12 is made of TPU material, and the hard layer 11 is made of PETG material. PETG is a transparent, non-crystalline copolyester plastic, which is polycondensed from three monomers of terephthalic acid (PTA), ethylene glycol (EG) and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM) through an ester exchange method.

[0028] TPU, or thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, is a plastic material with many advantages. TPU is mainly polymerized by chemical reactions of diisocyanate molecules such as diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) or toluene diisocyanate (TDI) with macromolecular polyols and low molecular polyols (chain extenders). Its molecular structure is composed of alternating rigid blocks and flexible segments, which makes TPU have the softness of plastics and retains some characteristics of rubber.

[0029] The soft layer 12 and the hard layer 11 are designed to match the shape of the patient's teeth, so that the braces 10 composed of them can fit perfectly on the patient's teeth.

[0030] Through the above technical solution, the patient can spray the antibacterial agent on the surface of the soft layer 12 located on the inner layer of the braces 10 before going to bed at night. Since the coating has the properties of drug adsorption and drug release, the drug sprayed on the coating will be released when the patient wears the braces 10 at night, thereby reducing the growth of oral bacteria and achieving the effect of protecting the teeth.

[0031] At the same time, the medicine is non-irritating, colorless and odorless, helping to eliminate bad breath and improve breath freshness.

[0032] The whole process principle of polar polymer coating is: drug adsorption-diffusion-desorption.

[0033] When spraying the medicine, it is in the adsorption stage, and it achieves rapid diffusion in the microporous state. The wearing process is a desorption process, which can effectively reduce the growth of oral bacteria and eliminate oral odor.

[0034] The above schematically describes the present invention and its implementation methods, which are not restrictive. The drawings show only one implementation method of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if ordinary technicians in this field are inspired by it and design structural methods and embodiments similar to the technical solution without creativity without departing from the purpose of the present invention, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
