Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of orthodontic expander cleaning, and particularly relates to an orthodontic expander cleaning device. Background Technique
[0002] An orthodontic expander is an orthodontic treatment tool mainly used to solve the problem of insufficient transverse development of the maxilla, especially for adult patients after puberty and with a closed palatal suture. When patients undergo orthodontic treatment, they need to wear an expander in the maxillary region. In daily life, food residues and the like will adhere to the expander during eating and other processes. To ensure hygiene, these food residues need to be cleaned, and an orthodontic expander cleaning device is required during cleaning.
[0003] In the prior art, the publication number is CN118141554A, and a micro-implant cleaning device for an MSE maxillary orthopedic expander is disclosed. The invention drives the rotating shaft to rotate through a limiting component and a transmission component. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate through a transmission shaft, a driving gear, and a driven gear. The rotating shaft drives the fixed cylinder to rotate through a key. The fixed cylinder drives the insertion rod to rotate inside the abutment groove. The wave-shaped annular abutment groove forces the fixed cylinder to perform a reciprocating up-and-down movement during rotation through the insertion rod. At this time, the fixed cylinder drives the mounting plate to rotate and reciprocate up and down, and the mounting plate drives the cleaning brush to clean the expander and the micro-implant, effectively removing food residues and other sundries on the expander and the micro-implant. During cleaning, the water pump can be started, and the water pump supplies water to the spray head through a water delivery pipe, a transmission pipe, and a shunt pipe. At this time, the spray head sprays water outward to wash the expander and the micro-implant, which can further improve the cleaning efficiency and effectively maintain the cleanliness of the expander and the micro-implant.
[0004] However, this device still has some problems. When cleaning the expander and the micro-implant, it is generally necessary to cooperate with a dental mirror to check the cleaning status. When using the dental mirror, another hand is required to continuously adjust the angle to obtain the field of view of the cleaning area. Moreover, the area of the dental mirror is small, and the line of sight is easily blocked during observation. This leads to the problem that it is not convenient to observe the cleaning situation of the cleaning area during the cleaning process. Therefore, we disclose an orthodontic expander cleaning device to meet people's needs. Content of the Utility Model
