Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oral orthodontic instruments, and in particular to an improved 3D printed transverse palatal rod for oral orthodontics. Background Art
[0002] According to the law of action and reaction, during orthodontic treatment, when the correction force is generated, an equal and opposite reaction force will inevitably be generated. Orthodontists often need to find ways to counteract the reaction force caused by the correction force, and the situation of supporting the reaction force caused by the movement of the correction tooth is called "anchorage". The common strategy of anchorage control is to concentrate the action force on the area where the tooth is expected to move, and to disperse the reaction force as much as possible on other teeth, palate, head and neck, or implants in the jaw, to ensure that the pressure on the periodontal membrane of the anchoring tooth is as small as possible.
[0003] Medical workers have found that the transverse palatal bar is a commonly used device for increasing support in orthodontic clinics. It is connected to the first molars on both sides of the maxillary teeth and spans the upper palate. It increases molar support by releasing part of the reaction force when moving the teeth to the palate. However, the fixed half rings at both ends of the transverse palatal bar cannot be adjusted to fit different molars. Users need to replace them to correct different molars, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and cost-intensive. Therefore, we propose an improved 3D printed transverse palatal bar for orthodontics. Utility Model Content
