[0029] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional changes made by a person skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Combination Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a dental correction system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0031] In this embodiment, the dental orthodontic system 100 includes a first orthodontic appliance 10 and a second orthodontic appliance 20 corresponding to the same orthodontic step, and the first orthodontic appliance 10 and the second orthodontic appliance 20 have the same designed movement amount.

[0032] Here, in the example of using braces for tooth correction, it is usually necessary to divide the correction into multiple successive stages, each stage corresponding to a correction step, and each correction step repositions the teeth from a certain tooth layout to the next tooth layout through the braces.

[0033] Here, “the first orthodontic appliance 10 and the second orthodontic appliance 20 corresponding to the same correction step” means that the first orthodontic appliance 10 and the second orthodontic appliance 20 are used in the same correction step.

[0034] In a specific embodiment, the first brace 10 has a first cavity S1 for accommodating teeth, and the second brace 20 has a second cavity S2 for accommodating teeth. The first cavity S1 and the second cavity S2 have the same shape, so that the designed movement amount of the first brace 10 and the second brace 20 can be ensured to be the same.

[0035] Here, the designed movement amount includes at least one of the torsional movement amount and the displacement movement amount, wherein the displacement movement amount includes the elongation amount, the depression amount, the distal movement amount, the mesial movement amount, the buccal movement amount, and the lingual movement amount, and the torsional movement amount includes the rotation amount with the three coordinate directions of the tooth as different axes.

[0036] The elastic modulus and thickness of the first orthodontic appliance 10 and the second orthodontic appliance 20 are the same, so that the first orthodontic appliance 10 and the second orthodontic appliance 20 have the same correction force. Of course, at least one of the elastic modulus and thickness of the first orthodontic appliance 10 and the second orthodontic appliance 20 may be different, so that the first orthodontic appliance 10 and the second orthodontic appliance 20 have different correction forces.

[0037] It should be noted that, in the same correction step, it is not limited to only the first orthodontic appliance 10 and the second orthodontic appliance 20, for example, it may also include a third orthodontic appliance, that is, the number of orthodontic appliances included in each correction step is not limited.

[0038] In addition, the dental orthodontic system 100 may include multiple appliance groups corresponding to multiple treatment steps respectively. It is not limited that each appliance group includes the first appliance 10 and the second appliance 20. Some appliance groups may also include only one appliance, that is, the corresponding treatment steps are completed by one appliance.

[0039] In this embodiment, the dental orthodontic system 100 further includes a functional attachment 30 , and the first orthodontic appliance 10 and the second orthodontic appliance 20 are combined with different functional attachments 30 , or only the second orthodontic appliance 20 is combined with the functional attachment 30 .

[0040] Here, “the first orthodontic appliance 10 and the second orthodontic appliance 20 are combined with different functional accessories 30” means that the functional accessories 30 combined with the first orthodontic appliance 10 and the second orthodontic appliance 20 are different, or, the first orthodontic appliance 10 and the second orthodontic appliance 20 are respectively combined with multiple functional accessories 30, and at least one of the multiple functional accessories 30 of the first orthodontic appliance 10 is different from at least one of the multiple functional accessories 30 of the second orthodontic appliance 20; “only the second orthodontic appliance 20 is combined with the functional accessory 30” means that the first orthodontic appliance 10 is not combined with the functional accessory 30, and the second orthodontic appliance 20 is combined with the functional accessory 30.

[0041] In addition, in this correction step, the first orthodontic appliance 10 combined with a functional accessory 30 can be worn, or the second orthodontic appliance 20 combined with another functional accessory 30 can be worn. Alternatively, in this correction step, the first orthodontic appliance 10 not combined with the functional accessory 30 can be worn, or the second orthodontic appliance 20 combined with the functional accessory 30 can be worn.

[0042] When the functional attachment 30 is in working state, the additional correction force applied by the functional attachment 30 to the teeth to be corrected is zero, or the functional attachment 30 acts on the oral cavity to make it in an abnormal closed state, or the functional attachment 30 acts on the upper and lower jaws to be in a specific jaw position relationship.

[0043] Here, "the additional correction force applied by the functional attachment 30 to the teeth to be corrected is zero" means that when the functional attachment 30 is in working condition, the functional attachment 30 will not apply force to the teeth to be corrected. At this time, the functional attachment 30 provides a non-orthodontic tooth arrangement function, and the appliance combined with the functional attachment 30 mainly plays the role of supporting the functional attachment 30; "the functional attachment 30 acts on the oral cavity and puts it in an abnormal closed state" means that when the functional attachment 30 is in working condition, from the appearance, the oral cavity will have obvious abnormalities and affect the appearance, such as obvious bulging of the lip and cheek muscles, the inability to close the lips normally, etc.; "the functional attachment 30 acts on the upper and lower jaws to be in a specific jaw position relationship" means that when the functional attachment 30 is in working condition, the functional attachment 30 can make the upper and lower jaws in a fixed relative position.

[0044] In actual applications, corresponding to the same correction step, in addition to correcting the teeth through the orthodontic appliance itself, other functions may need to be realized. In this case, the orthodontic appliance needs to be combined with the functional attachment 30 to realize these functions. If the orthodontic appliance is combined with the same functional attachment 30 in all correction time periods of the correction step, on the one hand, the orthodontic appliance combined with the functional attachment 30 can only provide a single form of correction in the correction step, and cannot meet the different needs of the same correction step and different correction time periods. On the other hand, some functional attachments 30 are only needed in specific scenarios of the correction step (such as the aforementioned scenario of providing non-orthodontic tooth arrangement function or The aforementioned scenarios that require a specific jaw relationship), while some functional accessories 30 do not want to be on the braces all the time (for example, the aforementioned scenarios where the functional accessories 30 will affect the aesthetics when working). When the braces are combined with the functional accessories 30 in all correction time periods of the correction step, the existence of the functional accessories 30 will affect the patient's wearing experience. In the prior art, an interface can be installed on the braces. When it is necessary to combine the functional accessories 30, the functional accessories 30 are installed at the interface. When it is not necessary to combine the functional accessories 30, only the interface is retained on the braces. However, the existence of these interfaces will still affect the patient's wearing experience, such as causing mouth grinding.

[0045] In this embodiment, in the same correction step, the first orthodontic appliance 10 and the second orthodontic appliance 20 are combined with different functional accessories 30, that is, in the correction step, one can selectively wear the first orthodontic appliance 10 combined with a functional accessory 30 or wear the second orthodontic appliance 20 combined with another functional accessory 30, which can meet different needs in the same correction step and different correction time periods.

[0046] Alternatively, in the same correction step, only the second orthodontic appliance 20 is combined with the functional accessory 30, that is, in the correction step, the first orthodontic appliance 10 without the functional accessory 30 or the second orthodontic appliance 20 with the functional accessory 30 can be selectively worn. On the basis of meeting different needs in the same correction step and different correction time periods, the first orthodontic appliance 10 without the functional accessory 30 only provides the orthodontic tooth arrangement function, and there is no need to set an interface for combining the functional accessory 30 or other structures, which will not affect the patient's wearing experience. The second orthodontic appliance 20 with the functional accessory 30 can be selectively used in a suitable correction time period, for example, only in the aforementioned scenarios where non-orthodontic tooth arrangement functions need to be provided or the aforementioned scenarios where a specific jaw relationship is required, or, the second orthodontic appliance 20 with the functional accessory 30 that affects the aesthetics is only used at night or indoors.

[0047] It can be seen that in this embodiment, by combining different functional accessories 30 with the first orthodontic appliance 10 and the second orthodontic appliance 20, or only combining the second orthodontic appliance 20 with the functional accessories 30, different needs in the same correction step and different correction time periods can be met, and the freedom of use and aesthetics can be improved, thereby improving the patient's wearing experience.

[0048] In this embodiment, the correction step includes a first correction time period and a second correction time period. The first correction time period continuously uses the first correction appliance 10, and the second correction time period continuously uses the second correction appliance 20.

[0049] Here, when the first orthodontic appliance 10 and the second orthodontic appliance 20 are combined with different functional accessories 30, "continuous use of the first orthodontic appliance 10" means continuously wearing the first orthodontic appliance 10 combined with the functional accessory 30, and "continuous use of the second orthodontic appliance 20" means continuously wearing the second orthodontic appliance 20 combined with another functional accessory 30; when only the second orthodontic appliance 20 is combined with the functional accessory 30, "continuous use of the first orthodontic appliance 10" means continuously wearing the first orthodontic appliance 10 not combined with the functional accessory 30, and "continuous use of the second orthodontic appliance 20" means continuously wearing the second orthodontic appliance 20 combined with the functional accessory 30.

[0050] The first time period and the second time period can be determined according to actual conditions. For example, the first time period is from 8 am to 8 pm on the same day, and the second time period is from 8 pm to 8 am the next day. Alternatively, the first time period is for 3 consecutive days, and the second time period is for the next 4 days, etc.

[0051] In the first embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 When only the second braces 20 is combined with the functional attachment 30, the usage modes of the dental orthodontic system 100 include a first mode and a second mode. When in the first mode, the first braces 10 are directly worn on the teeth to be corrected. When in the second mode, the second braces 20 are worn on the teeth to be corrected together with the functional attachment 30.

[0052] Here, the first orthodontic appliance 10 only provides an orthodontic teeth arrangement function, and the second orthodontic appliance 20 combined with the functional attachment 30 not only provides an orthodontic teeth arrangement function, but also provides additional functions brought by the functional attachment 30 .

[0053] The first orthodontic appliance 10 includes a first cavity S1 for accommodating teeth and a first outer surface A1 away from the first cavity S1 . No interface for coupling with an external structure exists on the first outer surface A1 .

[0054] Here, the interface is, for example, a traction hook, a mounting port, etc., and the external structure may be the functional accessory 30 as described above. Of course, the external structure may also be other accessories or structures. At this time, the first orthodontic appliance 10 only needs to provide orthodontic tooth arrangement function in the first mode, and there is no need to set an interface to assemble the external structure, which will not affect the patient's wearing experience.

[0055] In other words, the first orthodontic appliance 10 includes a first cavity S1 for accommodating teeth and a first outer surface A1 away from the first cavity S1. The first outer surface A1 is a smooth surface, that is, the first outer surface A1 has no interface and no other accessories.

[0056] The functional attachment 30 is integrally formed with the second orthodontic appliance 20, or the functional attachment 30 is coupled to the second orthodontic appliance 20 by coating, bonding, welding, riveting or mechanical locking.

[0057] Several specific examples of the first implementation are introduced below.

[0058] In the first specific embodiment, combined with Figure 2a and Figure 2b The first mode and the second mode are respectively a non-training mode and a training mode, the additional correction force applied by the functional attachment 30 to the tooth to be corrected is zero, and the functional attachment 30 is a myofunctional trainer, a palate bead trainer, a tongue prod or a palate prod, Figure 2b Take the functional attachment 30 as a tongue thorn as an example.

[0059] Combination Figure 2a In the non-training mode (i.e., the first mode), the first brace 10 is directly worn on the teeth to be corrected. The first brace 10 only provides orthodontic tooth arrangement function for the teeth to be corrected, that is, drives the teeth to be corrected to be repositioned from a set tooth layout to the next tooth layout.

[0060] Combination Figure 2b In the training mode (i.e., the second mode), the second orthodontic appliance 20 is worn on the teeth to be corrected together with the functional accessory 30. At this time, the functional accessory 30 is used to train specific parts, such as training muscle function, training the tongue to correct bad oral habits, etc. The functional accessory 30 provides a non-orthodontic tooth arrangement function, that is, the additional correction force applied by the functional accessory 30 to the teeth to be corrected is zero. The second orthodontic appliance 20 combined with the functional accessory 30 mainly plays the role of supporting the functional accessory 30.

[0061] In this specific embodiment, a first orthodontic appliance 10 without a functional attachment 30 and a second orthodontic appliance 20 with a functional attachment 30 can be provided in a non-training mode and a training mode, respectively, to meet different needs in the same correction step and different correction time periods.

[0062] In addition, the first brace 10 not combined with the functional accessory 30 only provides an orthodontic tooth arrangement function, and there is no need to set an interface for combining with the functional accessory 30 or other structures, which will not affect the patient's wearing experience. The second brace 20 combined with the functional accessory 30 can only be used in the training mode, will not affect the normal non-training mode, and can provide necessary training in a specific time period.

[0063] Combination Figure 3a and Figure 3b , is a schematic diagram of a first orthodontic appliance 10a, a second orthodontic appliance 20a, and a functional accessory 30a of a second specific embodiment. For ease of explanation, the same or similar structures as those of the first specific embodiment are numbered the same or similarly, hereinafter the same.

[0064] In the second specific embodiment, combined with Figure 3a and Figure 3b The first mode and the second mode are respectively a non-release mode and a release mode. The additional correction force applied by the functional attachment 30a to the tooth to be corrected is zero. The functional attachment 30a is a breath freshener sustained-release structure or a drug sustained-release structure. The functional attachment 30a can be formed on the second orthodontic appliance 20a in the form of a coating, or can be connected to the second orthodontic appliance 20a in the form of an external structure.

[0065] Combination Figure 3a In the non-release mode (i.e., the first mode), the first brace 10a is directly worn on the teeth to be corrected, and the first brace 10a only provides orthodontic tooth arrangement function for the teeth to be corrected, that is, drives the teeth to be corrected to be repositioned from a set tooth layout to the next tooth layout.

[0066] Combination Figure 3bIn the release mode (i.e., the second mode), the second orthodontic appliance 20a is worn on the teeth to be corrected together with the functional accessory 30a. At this time, the functional accessory 30a is used to release substances, such as releasing breath fresheners to adjust the oral environment, releasing drugs to relieve other oral diseases, etc. The functional accessory 30a provides a non-orthodontic tooth arrangement function, that is, the additional correction force applied by the functional accessory 30a to the teeth to be corrected is zero. The second orthodontic appliance 20a combined with the functional accessory 30a mainly plays the role of supporting the functional accessory 30a.

[0067] In this specific embodiment, a first orthodontic appliance 10a without a functional attachment 30 and a second orthodontic appliance 20a with a functional attachment 30a can be provided in a non-release mode and a release mode, respectively, to meet different needs in the same correction step and different correction time periods.

[0068] In addition, the first orthodontic appliance 10a not combined with the functional attachment 30a only provides an orthodontic tooth arrangement function, and there is no need to set an interface for combining with the functional attachment 30a or other structures, which will not affect the patient's wearing experience. The second orthodontic appliance 20a combined with the functional attachment 30a can be used only in the release mode, will not affect the normal non-release mode, and can provide the necessary release requirements in a specific time period.

[0069] In the third specific embodiment, combined with Figure 4a and Figure 4b The first mode and the second mode are the non-monitoring mode and the monitoring mode respectively. The additional correction force applied by the functional attachment 30b to the teeth to be corrected is zero. The functional attachment 30b is an oral environment monitoring structure.

[0070] Combination Figure 4a In the non-monitoring mode (i.e., the first mode), the first orthodontic appliance 10b is directly worn on the teeth to be corrected. The first orthodontic appliance 10b only provides orthodontic tooth arrangement function for the teeth to be corrected, that is, drives the teeth to be corrected to be repositioned from a set tooth layout to the next tooth layout.

[0071] Combination Figure 4b In the monitoring mode (i.e., the second mode), the second orthodontic appliance 20b is worn on the teeth to be corrected together with the functional accessory 30b. At this time, the functional accessory 30b is used to monitor the oral environment, such as monitoring the bacterial content in the oral cavity, etc. The functional accessory 30b provides a non-orthodontic tooth arrangement function, that is, the additional correction force applied by the functional accessory 30b to the teeth to be corrected is zero. The second orthodontic appliance 20b combined with the functional accessory 30b mainly plays the role of supporting the functional accessory 30b.

[0072] In this specific embodiment, a first orthodontic appliance 10b without a functional attachment 30 and a second orthodontic appliance 20b with a functional attachment 30b can be provided in a non-monitoring mode and a monitoring mode, respectively, to meet different needs in the same correction step and different correction time periods.

[0073] In addition, the first orthodontic appliance 10b not combined with the functional accessory 30b only provides an orthodontic tooth arrangement function, and there is no need to set an interface for combining with the functional accessory 30b or other structures, which will not affect the patient's wearing experience. The second orthodontic appliance 20b combined with the functional accessory 30b can only be used in the monitoring mode, will not affect the normal non-monitoring mode, and can provide the necessary monitoring requirements in a specific time period.

[0074] In the fourth specific embodiment, combined with Figure 5a and Figure 5b The first mode and the second mode are respectively a non-additional correction mode and an additional correction mode, the functional attachment 30c acts on the oral cavity to make it in an abnormal closed state, and the functional attachment 30c is an oral mask, an extraoral bow, a lip stopper or a depression auxiliary bow, Figure 5b Take the functional accessory 30c as a lip guard as an example.

[0075] Combination Figure 5a In the non-additional correction mode (i.e., the first mode), the first orthodontic appliance 10c is directly worn on the teeth to be corrected. The first orthodontic appliance 10c only provides orthodontic tooth arrangement function for the teeth to be corrected, that is, drives the teeth to be corrected to be repositioned from a set tooth layout to the next tooth layout.

[0076] Combination Figure 5b In the additional correction mode (ie, the second mode), the second orthodontic appliance 20c is worn on the teeth to be corrected together with the functional attachment 30c. At this time, the functional attachment 30c will act on the oral cavity and put it in an abnormal closed state when working.

[0077] For example, when the functional accessory 30c is an extraoral force-applying device such as an oral mask or an extraoral bow, the oral mask or the extraoral bow includes a connecting part (such as a rubber band, etc.) and an extraoral part. The extraoral part is located outside the oral cavity, and the second orthodontic appliance 20c and the extraoral part are connected by a connecting part extending from the inside of the oral cavity to the outside of the oral cavity. At this time, the lips cannot be closed normally, that is, the oral cavity is in an abnormally closed state.

[0078] Alternatively, when the functional attachment 30c is a lip stop or a depression auxiliary bow, etc., Figure 5b Taking the lip stopper 30c as an example, the lip stopper 30c includes an action part 31c which is arranged corresponding to the front tooth area and is used for interaction with the upper lip, an interface 32c located at the second orthodontic appliance 20c, and an archwire 33c connecting the action part 31c and the interface 32c. The arrangement of the lip stopper 30c will make the lip and cheek muscles bulge outward significantly, that is, the oral cavity is in an abnormal closed state.

[0079] It can be seen that in this specific embodiment, in the additional correction mode, the oral cavity is in an abnormal closed state, which will affect the aesthetics and reduce the patient's wearing experience. Therefore, the additional correction mode is only suitable for implementation in a specific time period.

[0080] In this specific embodiment, a first orthodontic appliance 10c without a functional attachment 30 and a second orthodontic appliance 20c with a functional attachment 30c can be provided in a non-additional correction mode and an additional correction mode, respectively, to meet different needs in the same correction step and different correction time periods.

[0081] In addition, the first orthodontic appliance 10c not combined with the functional accessory 30c only provides an orthodontic tooth arrangement function, and there is no need to set an interface for combining with the functional accessory 30c or other structures, which will not affect the patient's wearing experience. The second orthodontic appliance 20c combined with the functional accessory 30c can be used only in the additional correction mode, which will not affect the normal non-additional correction mode, and the additional correction mode that affects the aesthetics can be implemented in a specific time period to avoid the additional correction mode affecting the patient's wearing experience.

[0082] In this specific embodiment, the corrective force of the first corrector 10c is smaller than that of the second corrector 20c. For example, the corrective force of the first corrector 10c can be made smaller than that of the second corrector 20c by controlling the elastic modulus or thickness. When the functional accessory 30c is combined with the second corrective force of the second corrector 20c, the second corrective force of the second corrector 20c can assist the functional accessory 30c to work stably.

[0083] In the fifth specific embodiment, combined with Figure 6a and Figure 6b The first mode and the second mode are respectively a non-fixed jaw position mode and a fixed jaw position mode. The function attachment 30d acts on the upper and lower jaws to be in a specific jaw position relationship. The function attachment 30d is a jaw position adjustment structure or a snoring prevention structure. Figure 6b Take the functional attachment 30d as an example of a jaw adjustment structure.

[0084] Combination Figure 6a In the non-fixed jaw position mode (i.e., the first mode), the first orthodontic appliance 10d is directly worn on the teeth to be corrected. The first orthodontic appliance 10d only provides orthodontic tooth arrangement function for the teeth to be corrected, that is, drives the teeth to be corrected to be repositioned from a set tooth layout to the next tooth layout.

[0085] Combination Figure 6b In the fixed jaw position mode (ie, the second mode), the second orthodontic appliance 20d is worn on the teeth to be corrected together with the functional attachment 30d. At this time, the functional attachment 30d is used to make the upper and lower jaws in a fixed relative position.

[0086] For example, when the functional attachment 30d is a jaw adjustment structure, Figure 6b At this time, the second orthodontic appliance 20d is respectively arranged corresponding to the maxillary teeth and the mandibular teeth, and the functional attachment 30d includes two sets of jaw position adjustment structures respectively located on the occlusal surfaces of the two second orthodontic appliances 20d of the upper and lower jaws. The two sets of jaw position adjustment structures interact with each other to make the upper and lower jaws in a specific jaw position relationship, and the jaw position adjustment of the upper and lower jaws can be realized at this time.

[0087] When the functional attachment 30d is an anti-snoring structure, the functional attachment 30d can make the upper and lower jaws be in fixed relative positions to achieve an anti-snoring effect.

[0088] It can be seen that in this specific embodiment, in the fixed jaw position mode, the upper and lower jaws need to be maintained in a fixed relative position, which will affect the normal use of the upper and lower jaws, such as normal chewing, speaking, etc., and affect the patient's wearing experience. Therefore, the fixed jaw position mode is only implemented in a specific time period.

[0089] In this specific embodiment, a first orthodontic appliance 10d without a functional attachment 30 and a second orthodontic appliance 20d with a functional attachment 30d can be provided in a non-fixed jaw position mode and a fixed jaw position mode, respectively, to meet different needs in the same correction step and different correction time periods.

[0090] In addition, the first orthodontic appliance 10d not combined with the functional accessory 30d only provides an orthodontic tooth arrangement function, and there is no need to set an interface for combining with the functional accessory 30d or other structures, which will not affect the patient's wearing experience. The second orthodontic appliance 20d combined with the functional accessory 30d can be used only in the fixed jaw position mode, which will not affect the normal non-fixed jaw position mode, and the fixed jaw position mode that affects the normal use of the upper and lower jaws can be implemented in a specific time period to avoid the fixed jaw position mode affecting the patient's wearing experience.

[0091] In the above-mentioned multiple specific embodiments, by wearing different orthodontic appliances in the first mode and the second mode (the first orthodontic appliance 10 without the functional attachment 30 and the second orthodontic appliance 20 with the functional attachment 30), it is possible to meet different needs in the same correction step and different correction time periods. By implementing a mode that affects the aesthetics or the normal use of the upper and lower jaws in a specific time period, the patient's wearing experience can be improved, and necessary training, release, and monitoring needs can be provided in a specific time period.

[0092] In addition, the first mode and the second mode can also be a day mode and a night mode or an outdoor mode and an indoor mode, and suitable orthodontic appliances can be configured for the day mode and the night mode or the outdoor mode and the indoor mode.

[0093] Of course, the day mode and night mode or outdoor mode and indoor mode can also be coordinated with the modes described above. For example, the night mode can refer to the additional correction mode or the fixed jaw mode, that is, the night mode is adapted to the mode that affects the aesthetics or the normal use of the upper and lower jaws, and the outdoor mode can refer to the non-additional correction mode or the non-fixed jaw mode.

[0094] It should be noted that a suitable mode can be selected for each correction step according to actual needs. For example, when the correction step mainly considers training issues, the first mode and the second mode can be selected as a non-training mode and a training mode respectively. When the correction step mainly considers additional correction issues, the first mode and the second mode can be selected as a non-additional correction mode and an additional correction mode respectively.

[0095] Of course, in a certain correction step, multiple forms of the first mode and the second mode may also be included. For example, in the first correction time period of the correction step, the first mode and the second mode are selected as the non-training mode and the training mode respectively, and in the second time period of the correction step, the first mode and the second mode are selected as the non-additional correction mode and the additional correction mode respectively. At this time, the designed movement amounts of all the orthodontic appliances involved in the correction step are the same.

[0096] In the second embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 When the first braces 10 and the second braces 20 are combined with different functional accessories 30, the functional accessories 30 include different first functional accessories 31 and second functional accessories 32. The usage modes of the dental orthodontic system 100 include a first mode and a second mode. When in the first mode, the first braces 10 is worn on the teeth to be corrected together with the first functional accessory 31. When in the second mode, the second braces 20 is worn on the teeth to be corrected together with the second functional accessory 32.

[0097] In this embodiment, the first orthodontic appliance 10 combined with the first functional attachment 31 or the second orthodontic appliance 20 combined with the second functional attachment 32 can be selectively worn, which can meet different needs in the same correction step and different correction time periods.

[0098] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, there may be various forms of selection of the first functional accessory 31 and the second functional accessory 32 , and it is only necessary to ensure that the first functional accessory 31 and the second functional accessory 32 play different roles.

[0099] For example, in the first mode, the selected first functional accessory 31 is a breath freshener sustained-release structure, and the first braces 10 combined with the first functional accessory 31 is worn in a first time period to improve the oral environment, and then, in the second mode, the selected second functional accessory 32 is an oral environment monitoring structure, and the second braces 20 combined with the second functional accessory 32 is worn in a second time period to monitor the current oral environment, and the improvement effect of the first functional accessory 31 in the first time period can be detected.

[0100] In the third embodiment of the present invention, the dental orthodontic system 100 includes at least two braces corresponding to the same correction step, and the two braces have the same designed movement amount. The dental orthodontic system 100 also includes a functional accessory 30. The usage modes of the dental orthodontic system include a first mode that does not affect the aesthetics and a second mode that affects the aesthetics. When the functional accessory 30 is a functional accessory 30 that affects the aesthetics, the functional accessory 30 is only used in combination with the braces in the second mode.

[0101] Here, "affecting aesthetics" means that compared with not using the functional accessory 30, using the functional accessory 30 will directly affect the patient's appearance, such as the oral cavity being in an abnormal closed state, the facial shape being seriously affected, etc.

[0102] That is to say, when the patient needs to use a functional accessory 30 that affects the appearance, the patient can use it only in a suitable second mode, such as at night, indoors, etc. In this way, the functional accessory 30 can be prevented from affecting the appearance and reducing the patient's wearing experience.

[0103] Here, the functional accessories 30 that affect the appearance are, for example, an oral mask, an extraoral bow, a lip stopper, or a depression auxiliary bow.

[0104] In summary, the present invention can meet different needs in the same correction step and different correction time periods by combining different functional accessories 30 with the first orthodontic appliance 10 and the second orthodontic appliance 20, or only combining the second orthodontic appliance 20 with the functional accessories 30, and can improve the freedom of use and aesthetics, and enhance the patient's wearing experience.

[0105] It should be understood that although this specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each implementation mode may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0106] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of feasible implementation methods of the utility model. They are not intended to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Any equivalent implementation methods or changes that do not deviate from the technical spirit of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
