Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical devices, and particularly to an orthodontic bracket. Background Art

[0002] As a conventional product for dental orthodontics, orthodontic brackets have the advantages of long-lasting effect, small size, comfort, and short treatment course, and are deeply loved by dental orthodontic patients. An orthodontic bracket includes a bracket and an arch wire. The bracket is connected to the tooth surface, and the traction force of the arch wire is transmitted to the tooth through the bracket so that the tooth can move. The bracket also includes a bracket wing and a bracket body. The bracket wing facilitates ligation and fixation of the arch wire and is an indispensable part of the orthodontic bracket.

[0003] During the process of orthodontics for patients, the bracket wing does not need to be used all the time during the orthodontic process, so that the bracket wing is in an idle state during orthodontics. However, in the prior art, the bracket wing is always provided on the bracket body and is not detachable, which increases the discomfort of the patient and also increases the weight of the bracket body. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide an orthodontic bracket with a lightweight design.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the following technical solutions are adopted in this application:

The arch wire is arranged in the bracket body; the bracket body includes a bracket wing and a bracket body. The orthodontic bracket includes a fixing structure. The orthodontic bracket also includes a connected state and a separated state. When the orthodontic bracket is in the connected state, the bracket wing is connected to the bracket body through the fixing structure. When the orthodontic bracket is in the separated state, the bracket wing is separated from the bracket body.

[0007] Further, a connecting portion is provided on the bracket wing. When the orthodontic bracket is in the connected state, the connecting portion is connected to the fixing structure. When the orthodontic bracket is in the separated state, the connecting portion is separated from the fixing structure.

[0008] Further, the bracket body includes a through portion. When the orthodontic bracket is in the connected state, the through portion is connected to the fixing structure. When the orthodontic bracket is in the separated state, the through portion is separated from the fixing structure.

[0009] Further, when observing from the length direction of the orthodontic bracket, at least part of the through portion coincides with the connecting portion.

[0010] Further, when the orthodontic bracket is in the connected state, the connecting portion is bolt-connected to the fixing structure.

[0011] Further, when the orthodontic bracket is in a connected state, the connecting portion and the fixing structure are in interference fit.

[0012] The orthodontic bracket provided by the present application has a detachable connection between the bracket wing and the bracket body. When the bracket body does not need to be connected to the arch wire, the operator can disassemble the bracket wing to reduce the mass of the bracket body and make the bracket lightweight.

[0017] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solutions in the specific embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0018] As Figure 1 shown, an orthodontic bracket 100 includes a bracket body 11, a bracket base 12, and an arch wire 13. The bracket base 12 is used for adhesion to teeth, the bracket body 11 is used for fixing the arch wire 13, and the arch wire 13 is used to provide traction force. The bracket body 11 and the bracket base 12 are connected, and the arch wire 13 is arranged inside the bracket body 11. Through the above settings, the traction force provided by the arch wire 13 can be transmitted to the teeth through the bracket body 11 and the bracket base 12, so that the teeth can move to a preset position through the traction force of the arch wire 13, thereby realizing orthodontics. It should be noted that the preset position refers to the normal physiological position of the teeth.

[0019] As Figures 2 to 3As shown, specifically, the bracket body 11 includes a bracket wing 111 and a bracket main body 112. The orthodontic bracket 100 includes a fixing structure 14. The orthodontic bracket 100 also includes a connected state and a separated state. When the orthodontic bracket 100 is in the connected state, the bracket wing 111 is connected to the bracket main body 112 through the fixing structure 14. When the orthodontic bracket 100 is in the separated state, the bracket wing 111 is separated from the bracket main body 112. The bracket wing 111 is used for ligating the arch wire 13 so that the arch wire 13 is always arranged within the bracket body 11. During the orthodontic process, due to actual situations, the bracket body 11 does not need to be connected to the arch wire 13, so the bracket wing 111 is idle. Through the above settings, the bracket wing 111 and the bracket main body 112 can be detachably connected through the fixing structure 14. When the bracket body 11 does not need to be connected to the arch wire 13, the operator can detach the bracket wing 111 to reduce the mass of the bracket body 11 and make the bracket lightweight. The bracket body 11 reduces the bracket wing 111 and also reduces the foreign body sensation of the patient, improving the patient's usage experience.

[0020] More specifically, a connecting portion 1111 is provided on the bracket wing 111. When the orthodontic bracket 100 is in the connected state, the connecting portion 1111 is connected to the fixing structure 14. When the orthodontic bracket 100 is in the separated state, the connecting portion 1111 is separated from the fixing structure 14. Through the above settings, the connection stability between the bracket wing 111 and the bracket main body 112 can be improved. In addition, the setting of the connecting portion 1111 enables the fixing structure 14 to move along the direction of the connecting portion 1111, providing a guiding effect for the fixing structure 14, reducing the connection time between the bracket wing 111 and the bracket main body 112, and thus improving the connection efficiency between the bracket wing 111 and the bracket main body 112.

[0021] As an implementation manner, the bracket main body 112 includes a through portion 1121. When the orthodontic bracket 100 is in the connected state, the through portion 1121 is connected to the fixing structure 14. When the orthodontic bracket 100 is in the separated state, the through portion 1121 is separated from the fixing structure 14. Through the above settings, the connection stability between the bracket wing 111 and the bracket main body 112 is further improved.

[0022] As Figures 2 to 4 shown, as an implementation manner, when observing from the length direction of the orthodontic bracket 100, the through portion 1121 and the connecting portion 1111 at least partially overlap. Through the above settings, the connection time between the fixing structure 14 and the bracket wing 111 can be reduced. The fixing structure 14 can connect the bracket main body 112 and the bracket wing 111 only through the through portion 1121 and the connecting portion 1111, further reducing the connection time between the bracket wing and the bracket main body 112, and thus further improving the connection efficiency between the bracket wing 111 and the bracket main body 112.

[0023] As an implementation, when the orthodontic bracket 100 is in a connected state, the connecting portion 1111 is bolted to the fixing structure 14. Through the above arrangement, the bolt connection can improve the connection stability between the connecting portion 1111 and the fixing structure 14, and further improve the connection stability between the bracket wing 111 and the bracket body 112.

[0024] As another implementation, when the orthodontic bracket 100 is in a connected state, the connecting portion 1111 is in interference fit with the fixing structure 14. Through the above arrangement, the bracket wing 111 can be connected to the bracket body 112 without additional components, thereby reducing the weight of the bracket body 11, and further making the orthodontic bracket 100 lightweight. In addition, the interference fit can also reduce the connection time between the bracket wing 111 and the bracket body 112, thereby improving the connection efficiency between the bracket wing 111 and the bracket body 112.

[0025] It should be understood that for those of ordinary skill in the art, modifications or variations can be made according to the above description, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this application.
