Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of oral appliances, in particular to the field of oral dental correction, and in particular to an appliance for removing an underbite. Background Art

[0002] Orthodontics is a treatment process that uses oral technical means to correct uneven teeth, abnormal tooth shape, and abnormal tooth color. Irregular teeth include crowded teeth, protrusions, sparse teeth, open bites, underbites, midline misalignment, etc. Among them, underbites are also called crossbites. During the correction process, a padding operation is required, which is also called opening the bite. In the prior art, doctors generally pad a resin material or a filling material on the tooth surface of the back teeth. In this way, when the patient chews and bites, the upper and lower teeth are not in contact, thereby opening the bite space and correcting the crossbite. However, this padding method has some shortcomings. For example, it is necessary to pad something on the tooth surface of the back teeth, which is cumbersome and inconvenient to operate. For example, with continuous use, the patient's chewing and biting actions will inevitably cause wear on the padding object, which needs to be replaced. When replacing, not only does it need to be re-performed, but the previous padding also needs to be removed, which is relatively stable.

[0003] Based on the above, the utility model proposes an underbite relief appliance which is easy to operate and convenient to disassemble, assemble and replace. Utility Model Content

[0021] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the utility model, the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0022] Embodiment 1

[0023] The current treatment for underbite (underbite) is to directly stick a padding material on the teeth of the mandible, usually a resin filling material, so that the upper and lower teeth cannot restrain each other. After the treatment is completed, the protrusions on both sides of the teeth are removed. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the crossbite correction device is used to remove the crossbite, including the correction brace 1. The correction brace 1 can be made according to the actual situation of the patient's teeth. It can be realized by the existing invisible correction brace technology and will not be described in detail.

[0024] The part of the correction brace 1 corresponding to the patient's posterior tooth surface is provided with a convex sleeve 2, and a spacer block 3 is provided inside the convex sleeve 2; in this solution, the spacer block 3 is provided on the correction brace 1, specifically, the two sides of the posterior tooth surface are symmetrical structures, thereby achieving the purpose of spacer, so that the patient's upper and lower teeth do not touch each other, and the effect of relieving the crossbite is achieved. More specifically, the spacer blocks 3 are installed on the posterior tooth surfaces on both sides of the mandible.

[0025] Since the braces 1 adopts the existing invisible braces technology, and invisible braces generally need to be replaced every two to three weeks, on the one hand, the braces 1 are directly raised, and the patient does not need to open his mouth for the dentist to raise the braces, but can be directly put on the braces 1, which makes the raising operation more convenient and quick. On the other hand, the raising block 3 is replaced every two to three weeks along with the braces 1, so the replacement of the raising block 3 is more convenient, and there is no problem of excessive wear of the raising block affecting the correction effect of the crossbite. It also eliminates the possibility of improper operation and pasting by doctors in the prior art.

[0026] The existing technical solution requires that a hole be hollowed out at the position of the raised tooth in the matched corrective brace to allow the raising material to pass through.

[0027] The technical solution of the present application is to directly set a cushioning structure on the braces, which is convenient for users to wear the braces and also convenient for users to replace the braces.

[0028] Embodiment 2

[0029] In the first embodiment, although the padding is easy to operate and replace, and the problem of excessive wear of the padding affecting the correction effect of the underbite is solved, it also has some shortcomings. For example, the padding is replaced together with the correction brace 1 before it is worn out, and the cost is relatively high. Therefore:

[0030] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The part of the orthodontic brace 1 corresponding to the patient's posterior tooth surface is detachably mounted with a padding component 4. Specifically, the padding component 4 includes a slide rail 401 arranged on the orthodontic brace 1, and the padding block 3 includes an insert block 402 and an occlusal block 405, wherein a side groove 403 is arranged on the side of the insert block 402, and the side groove 403 is plug-connected with the slide rail 401. Preferably, refer to Figure 4 There are two slide rails 401, which are respectively located on both sides of the plug block 402 installed on the orthodontic braces 1. The outer sides of the two slide rails 401 are provided with binding grooves, and rubber bands are provided in the binding grooves. The significance of this is that the rubber bands are used to bind the plug block 402 to the slide rails 401, so as to prevent the patient from excessive chewing and biting, which may cause the plug block 402 to shift or even detach from the slide rail 401. The rubber bands and the binding grooves are not shown in the figure.

[0031] The end face of the plug block 402 facing away from the orthodontic brace 1 is provided with a socket 404, and the end face of the bite block 405 is extended with a pin 406, and the bite block 405 is detachably connected to the plug block 402 through the plug-in fit between the pin 406 and the socket 404. It should be noted that the pin 406 and the socket 404 are both made of materials such as silicone, and there is an interference fit between the two. In addition, when the patient chews and bites, the bite force acts downward or upward on the bite block 405, so the bite block 405 will not be detached from the plug block 402.

[0032] The bite block 405 can be made of a wear-resistant material, such as hard silicone.

[0033] In the second embodiment, through the detachable connection between the plug block 402 and the correction brace 1 and the detachable connection between the plug block 402 and the bite block 405, when the correction brace 1 is replaced, it is only necessary to make a matching slide rail 401 on the new correction brace 1, and the padding component 4 can be installed on the new correction brace 1, which saves costs and is convenient for disassembly and assembly. In addition, when the padding component 4 is damaged due to the patient's long-term chewing and biting, it is only necessary to replace the bite block 405, which is more cost-effective. In addition, when the patient's teeth correction is effective and the padding height needs to be adjusted, it can also be achieved by replacing the bite blocks 405 of different thicknesses, which is more cost-effective.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technical personnel in this field can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any brief modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
