Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of dental orthodontic medical instruments, and in particular relates to a multifunctional bracket holder. Background Art
[0002] Brackets are an important part of orthodontic technology. They are directly bonded to the crown surface with adhesives, and then archwires are passed through the grooves to apply various types of correction forces to the teeth. Brackets are made of stainless steel, bioceramics or composite resins. Their main function is to fix the archwires, so that the archwires can play a better role and transmit correction forces, thereby controlling the three-dimensional movement of teeth and achieving the purpose of orthodontic treatment.
[0003] At present, when bonding brackets in clinical practice, due to the special environment in the patient's mouth, if the bonding is not good, the bracket is easy to fall off. Therefore, the smoothness of the operation process and the length of the operation time are crucial. When bonding brackets on the market, ordinary tweezers or orthodontic tweezers are used to clamp the brackets and then bond them to the patient's teeth. The bracket locator is then used for positioning and adjustment. Since the tweezers and the locator are separate tools, repeated replacement of tools during operation will not only affect the smoothness of the process, but also waste time and affect the accuracy of the bracket position. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model proposes a multifunctional bracket clamp, which can combine the clamp and the positioner together, while satisfying the functions of clamping the bracket, locating the bracket position and adjusting the bracket position, thus avoiding frequent tool replacement during operation and effectively improving the smoothness of the operation process and the accuracy of the bracket position.
[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is achieved in this way:
[0006] A multifunctional bracket holder comprises a pair of tweezers,
[0007] The front end of the tweezers is a clamping end, which is used to complete the operation of clamping the bracket and bonding it to the surface of the crown;
[0008] In addition, a straight bracket adjustment tip is provided at the tail end of the tweezers, and the bracket adjustment tip is inserted into the bracket to adjust the position of the bracket on the surface of the crown;
[0009] And / or, a bracket positioning groove is provided on the tail end of the tweezers, and the bracket positioning groove is used to calibrate the distance between the bracket on each tooth and the tip of the tooth to achieve the bracket positioning.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the tail end of the tweezers is provided with a bracket adjustment tip and a bracket positioning groove, and the bracket positioning groove includes a first positioning groove, and the first positioning groove is located on a first side of the bracket adjustment tip.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the bracket positioning groove further includes a second positioning groove, and the second positioning groove is located on a second side of the bracket adjustment tip, so that the first positioning groove and the second positioning groove are respectively located on both sides of the bracket adjustment tip.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the width of the first positioning groove is 3.5 mm.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the width of the second positioning groove is 5.0 mm.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the clamping end has a bent portion.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, in order to improve the stability during mechanical grasping, the surface of the tweezers body is provided with anti-slip grooves.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the multifunctional bracket holder is coated with a corrosion-resistant, antibacterial and antioxidant material on the surface.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:
[0018] The multifunctional bracket holder of the utility model can integrate the clamping function, the positioning function and the adjustment function. Therefore, the clamping, positioning and adjustment of the bracket can be completed at the same time with one tool. In clinical application, the clamp body is pinched, and the bracket is clamped and adhered to the surface of the patient's crown with the front end of the clamp end. The position of the clamp is swapped front and back, and the bracket positioning groove is used to position the bracket position, and then the bracket adjustment tip at the rear end is used to adjust the bracket position. The positioning function and adjustment function of the clamp are repeatedly used to make all brackets in the same horizontal position, which is convenient for the installation and fixation of the arch wire. Compared with traditional tools, the above operations can be completed on one tool without repeatedly changing tools, which saves operation time and improves the accuracy of bracket bonding.

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0030] The groove below refers to a part of the bracket, which is known in the art. The groove width below refers to the distance between the bracket adjustment tip and the bracket positioning groove.
[0031] See also Figures 1 to 3 The utility model embodiment discloses a multifunctional bracket clamp, including a pair of tweezers 1, the front end of the tweezers 1 is a clamping end, used to clamp the bracket 4 bonded to the surface of the crown, and the tweezers 1 are provided with a row of anti-skid patterns. The function of the anti-skid patterns is to increase the friction when the hands are grasped, and the specific style of the anti-skid patterns can be any common or uncommon style. The tail end of the tweezers 1 is located on the handle of the tweezers and is provided with a bracket positioning groove 2 and a bracket adjustment tip 3. Since the handle of the tweezers 1 has a certain thickness, the bracket adjustment tip 3 has a straight-line tip. The tip of the bracket adjustment tip 3 is inserted into the groove of the bracket 4, so as to adjust the position of the bracket 4; and the bracket positioning groove 2 is used to calibrate the distance between the bracket 4 on the surface of each tooth and the tip of the tooth 5. Figure 1 As shown, the bracket positioning groove 2 may include a first positioning groove 21 and a second positioning groove 22, and the two positioning grooves are respectively located on both sides of the bracket adjustment tip 3.

The groove width of the first positioning groove 21 is 3.5 mm, and the groove width of the second positioning groove 22 is 5.0 mm. The groove width represents the distance between the positioning groove and the bracket adjustment tip 3. When in use, first use the clamping end of the tweezers 1 to clamp the bracket 4 and bond it to the surface of the crown. Use the bracket positioning groove 2 and select a suitable groove width to calibrate the distance between the bracket 4 and the tip of the corresponding tooth 5. Then use the bracket adjustment tip 3 to insert into the groove to adjust the position of the bracket 4 to play a fine-tuning role.
[0037] In such Figure 2 Another embodiment shown includes a bracket adjustment tip 3 and a bracket positioning groove 2. In this embodiment, there is only one specification of groove width. When in use, the clamping end of the tweezers 1 is first used to clamp the bracket 4 and bond it to the surface of the crown, and the bracket positioning groove 2 is used to calibrate the distance between the bracket 4 and the tip of the corresponding tooth 5, and then the bracket adjustment tip 3 is inserted into the groove to adjust the position of the bracket 4 to play a fine-tuning role.
