[0002] The main reason why ultrasound therapy is used to correct the position of teeth is that it is non-invasive and relatively efficient. Traditional methods of tooth correction usually include braces and dental braces, which may need to be worn for a period of time and may cause a certain degree of pressure and damage to oral tissues. Ultrasound therapy provides a gentler option. Through ultrasound therapy, the energy of high-frequency sound waves can be used to adjust the ligaments and alveolar bone tissue around the teeth, thereby achieving the movement and adjustment of teeth. Compared with traditional methods, ultrasound therapy causes less damage to oral tissues and does not require external devices, so it is more comfortable and convenient. In addition, ultrasound therapy can also accelerate the process of tooth movement and adjustment to a certain extent, because the energy of ultrasound waves can promote the body's own repair mechanism and accelerate the remodeling and repair of bone tissue;

[0003] The current dental ultrasonic treatment device covers the entire dental arch and does not load ultrasound to the dental arch in different areas. It cannot achieve more efficient tooth movement and anchorage control, nor can it adapt to different dental arch lengths. Utility Model Content

[0025] 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 in 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.

[0026] See also Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: an ultrasonic wearable device for orthodontics, comprising a U-shaped seat and a plurality of brackets arranged on the U-shaped seat, each of the brackets being in a U-shaped structure, and each of the brackets being provided with a corresponding ultrasonic transducer 11, the plurality of ultrasonic transducers 11 corresponding to the number and position of teeth to be corrected by the patient, and the ultrasonic transducer 11 being used for ultrasonically stimulating the tooth root;

[0027] When in use, a coupling agent is added to the bracket, and the bracket with the coupling agent is placed on the patient's teeth so that the patient's teeth are in the bracket with the coupling agent. The ultrasonic transducer 11 on the bracket is used to ultrasonically stimulate the patient's teeth, thereby achieving the purpose of orthodontics.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 As shown, several of the brackets are slidably connected to the U-shaped seat through a joint, and the positions of the brackets can be adjusted on the U-shaped seat to adapt to the positions of the patient's teeth, so as to achieve the purpose of matching the ultrasonic transducer 11 on the bracket with the position of the patient's teeth.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the U-shaped seat includes a front end 2 and two rear ends 3, the two rear ends 3 are slidably connected to the front end 2 through a connecting portion, the two rear ends 3 can be moved toward the front end 2 through the connecting portion, and the front end 2 can also be moved toward the direction where the two rear ends 3 are located through the connecting portion. Through this adjustment method, the length of the U-shaped seat can be adjusted to adapt to the changing dental arch length of the patient during the orthodontic process;

[0030] Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 8 As shown, the connecting portion includes a channel 7, a limiting opening, a spring piece 8 and a protrusion 9 arranged on the spring piece 8.
