Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of occlusal pads, in particular to an occlusal pad worn during the orthodontic process. Background Art

[0002] Orthodontic treatment mainly uses various corrective devices to adjust the coordination between the facial bones, teeth, and maxillofacial nerves and muscles. In other words, it adjusts the abnormal relationship between the upper and lower jaws, between the upper and lower teeth, between the teeth and jaws, and between the nerves and muscles that connect them. The ultimate goal of orthodontic treatment is to achieve balance, stability, and beauty of the oral and maxillofacial system.

[0003] There are obvious differences in the condylar mutation of patients before and after orthodontic treatment, indicating that temporomandibular joint diseases may occur during orthodontic treatment. Occlusal splint treatment is currently one of the main methods for treating temporomandibular joint disorders. However, if temporomandibular joint problems occur during the orthodontic process, conventional occlusal splints cannot be worn due to orthodontic brackets, and orthodontics can only be suspended. If the orthodontic brackets are removed or the temporomandibular joint problems are treated after the orthodontic treatment is completed, it may lead to a delay in the orthodontic cycle and further aggravation of the temporomandibular joint.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an occlusal pad worn during orthodontic process to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an occlusal pad worn during orthodontic treatment to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology. The technical solution of the utility model aims at the technical problem that the existing technical solution is too single, and provides a solution that is significantly different from the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: an occlusal pad worn during orthodontic process, comprising a tooth portion, an orthodontic bracket is arranged at the outer center of the tooth portion, an occlusal pad body is sleeved on the top of the outer wall of the tooth portion, and an elastic band is arranged in the opening direction of the occlusal pad body.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of one end of the occlusal pad body facing the orthodontic bracket is slightly higher than the top of the orthodontic bracket, and the end of the occlusal pad body facing away from the orthodontic bracket completely covers the tooth part.

[0008] Preferably, the elastic band is located at the opening of the shorter end of the occlusal pad body, and the end of the elastic band close to the rear end of the tooth portion is fixed to the inner side of the occlusal pad body.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting plate cooperating with an orthodontic bracket is equidistantly connected to the opening of the shorter end of the occlusal pad body, and an elastic rubber is installed at the opposite end of the limiting plate.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting plate is inclined towards both ends relative to the orthodontic bracket, and the elastic rubber and the limiting plate are in a parallel structure.

[0011] Preferably, a diaphragm is provided inside the wearing groove of the occlusal pad body.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] 1. The patient of the utility model wears the occlusal pad body on the lower teeth. The bottom of one end of the occlusal pad body facing the orthodontic bracket is slightly higher than the top of the orthodontic bracket, which will not affect the normal correction of the orthodontic bracket, nor will it affect the normal wearing of the occlusal pad body;

[0014] 2. The utility model compresses the teeth by the elastic band, so that the occlusal pad body is better worn on the outer wall of the teeth. When the lower teeth are normally worn, the position of the elastic band will be slightly higher than the top of the orthodontic bracket. The orthodontic bracket can be limited to the inner side of the limiting plate by the limiting plate, and the orthodontic bracket can be tightly fitted by the elastic rubber, further enhancing the fixing effect of the occlusal pad body. The limiting plate can be inclined to both ends relative to the orthodontic bracket to limit orthodontic brackets of different sizes.

[0015] 3. During the orthodontic process of the utility model, when treatment is needed, the bite between the upper teeth and the lower teeth needs to be opened. If the occlusal pad body needs to be worn, self-curing material needs to be added to the occlusal pad body to increase the thickness of the wearing groove of the occlusal pad body, so that an occlusal gap appears between the upper teeth and the lower teeth. However, the self-curing material itself has a pungent smell, which makes it difficult for patients to accept. By setting the diaphragm, the wearing groove of the occlusal pad body has a certain thickness, and has a certain height during the wearing process of the occlusal pad body, which saves the step of medical staff adding self-curing material to the occlusal pad body, so that patients can accept treatment more easily.

[0025] See also Figure 1-6 An occlusal pad worn during orthodontic process comprises a tooth part 1, an orthodontic bracket 2 is arranged at the outer center of the tooth part 1, an occlusal pad body 3 is sleeved on the top of the outer wall of the tooth part 1, and an elastic band 4 is arranged in the opening direction of the occlusal pad body 3.

[0026] like Figure 1-6As shown, the bottom of one end of the occlusal pad body 3 facing the orthodontic bracket 2 is slightly higher than the top of the orthodontic bracket 2, and the end of the occlusal pad body 3 away from the orthodontic bracket 2 completely covers the tooth part 1. By setting the bottom of one end of the occlusal pad body 3 facing the orthodontic bracket 2 slightly higher than the top of the orthodontic bracket 2, it will not affect the normal correction of the orthodontic bracket 2, nor will it affect the normal wearing of the occlusal pad body 3.

[0027] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the elastic band 4 is located at the opening of the shorter end of the occlusal pad body 3, and the end of the elastic band 4 close to the rear end of the tooth part 1 is fixed to the inner side of the occlusal pad body 3. The tooth part 1 is pressed by the set elastic band 4 so that the occlusal pad body 3 can be better worn on the outer wall of the tooth part 1. When the tooth part 1 is worn normally, the position of the elastic band 4 will be slightly higher than the top of the orthodontic bracket 2.

[0028] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a limiting plate 5 cooperating with the orthodontic bracket 2 is equidistantly connected to the opening of the shorter end of the occlusal pad body 3, and an elastic rubber 6 is installed at the opposite end of the limiting plate 5. The orthodontic bracket 2 can be limited to the inner side of the limiting plate 5 by the setting of the limiting plate 5, and the orthodontic bracket 2 can be tightly fitted by the setting of the elastic rubber 6, thereby further enhancing the fixing effect of the occlusal pad body 3.

[0029] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the limiting plate 5 is inclined at both ends relative to the orthodontic bracket 2, and the elastic rubber 6 is parallel to the limiting plate 5. By setting the limiting plate 5 to be inclined at both ends relative to the orthodontic bracket 2, it can be used to limit orthodontic brackets 2 of different sizes.

[0030] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a diaphragm 7 is provided inside the wearing groove of the occlusal pad body 3. When treatment is needed during the orthodontic process, the bite between the upper teeth and the lower teeth needs to be opened. If the occlusal pad body 3 needs to be worn, a self-curing material needs to be added to the occlusal pad body 3 to increase the thickness of the wearing groove of the occlusal pad body 3, so that a occlusal gap appears between the upper teeth and the lower teeth. However, the self-curing material itself has a pungent smell, which makes it difficult for patients to accept. By providing the diaphragm 7, the wearing groove of the occlusal pad body 3 has a certain thickness and a certain height during the wearing process of the occlusal pad body 3, which saves the step of medical staff adding self-curing material to the occlusal pad body 3, so that patients can accept treatment more easily.

[0031] Working principle: When in use, the patient wears the occlusal pad body 3 on the lower teeth. The bottom of the end of the occlusal pad body 3 facing the orthodontic bracket 2 is slightly higher than the top of the orthodontic bracket 2, which will not affect the normal correction of the orthodontic bracket 2, nor will it affect the normal wearing of the occlusal pad body 3. The tooth part 1 is pressed by the elastic band 4, so that the occlusal pad body 3 can be better worn on the outer wall of the tooth part 1. When the lower tooth part 1 is worn normally, the position of the elastic band 4 will be slightly higher than the top of the orthodontic bracket 2. The orthodontic bracket 2 can be limited to the inner side of the limiting plate 5 by the limiting plate 5, and the orthodontic bracket 2 can be tightly fitted by the elastic rubber 6, which further enhances the fixing effect of the occlusal pad body 3. The limiting plate 5 is inclined to both ends relative to the orthodontic bracket 2, so as to limit orthodontic brackets 2 of different sizes.

[0032] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention.
