Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oral dental corrections, in particular to a mandibular isolation tongue stop structure. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the development of early childhood orthodontics, correction tools and methods have emerged in an endless stream. Childhood crossbite is a relatively common malocclusion, which has many causes, a considerable part of which is caused by the low tongue position of children. Clinically, tongue muscle lifting training is often used to improve the low tongue position. However, children's initial cooperation in tongue muscle training is low, and the training time is long. Therefore, clinically, there is a need for an appliance that can block the tongue muscle and prevent the tongue muscle from pushing the mandible forward, which is conducive to the correction of children's crossbite and can also prevent recurrence. However, there is currently no similar appliance in clinical practice, which makes it difficult for patients with crossbite caused by low tongue position to be effectively corrected and prone to relapse. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to design a mandibular isolation tongue stop structure for the problem of crossbite in children caused by low tongue position, which can prevent the tongue muscles from exerting forward thrust on the mandible, thereby facilitating the correction of crossbite in children and avoiding recurrence after correction, thereby solving the problem of crossbite in children caused by low tongue position.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0005] The utility model designs a mandibular isolation tongue stop structure, which includes:

[0006] Two bands, one on each side of the mandibular first molar;

[0007] A connecting rod is provided on the tongue side, with both ends of the connecting rod being connected to the two band rings respectively, and the connecting rod has an arc curved along the arrangement direction of the mandibular teeth;

[0008] and a tongue stopper, which is arranged on the side of the tongue and is vertically arranged on the connecting rod for isolating the tongue muscles.

[0009] Furthermore, a mandibular isolation tongue stop structure is provided: the mandibular isolation tongue stop structure is made of stainless steel wire with a diameter of 1.0 to 1.5 mm.

[0010] Furthermore, a mandibular isolation tongue stop structure is provided: the mandibular isolation tongue stop structure is made of stainless steel wire with a diameter of 1.2 mm.

[0011] Further, a mandibular isolation tongue guard structure: The tongue guard is vertically arranged in the middle of the connecting rod.

[0012] Further, a mandibular isolation tongue guard structure: The tongue guard is arranged on the lingual side, and the distance between the tongue guard and the mandibular teeth is 3.0 - 5.0 mm.

[0013] Further, a mandibular isolation tongue guard structure: The height of the tongue guard is set to 5.0 - 10.0 mm.

[0014] Furthermore, a mandibular isolation tongue guard structure: The height of the tongue guard is set to 7.0 mm.

[0015] Further, a mandibular isolation tongue guard structure: The band is sleeved on the first molar and adhesively fixed.

[0016] Further, a mandibular isolation tongue guard structure: The mandibular isolation tongue guard structure further includes: at least one U-shaped bend, which is arranged on the connecting rod and used to adjust the size of the connecting rod.

[0017] Specifically, the U-shaped bend can be regarded as an integral structure with the connecting rod, which is equivalent to having an additional bent structure on the connecting rod. After straightening the U-shaped bend, the size of the connecting rod can be adjusted, so that the connecting rod can be adjusted according to the size of the mandibular tooth arrangement of the crossbite patient, so that the mandibular isolation tongue guard structure of the present utility model can be applicable to different patients. Preferably, two U-shaped bends can be set, and they are respectively arranged close to the two bands.

[0018] Further, a mandibular isolation tongue guard structure: The mandibular isolation tongue guard structure further includes: a lingual arch, which is arranged on the connecting rod, and the lingual arch is located between the tongue guard and the mandibular teeth.

[0019] Specifically, for the mandibular isolation tongue guard structure of the present utility model, for patients with crossbite in children caused by low tongue position, because the pressure of the tongue muscle on the mandible causes excessive development of the mandible, clinical doctors need to first make an impression of the children's mandibular dentition (that is, make a model according to the shape of the children's mandibular teeth), design a vertical tongue guard at a distance of 3.0 - 5.0 mm from the mandibular anterior teeth to isolate the tongue muscle, and the tongue guard is arranged in the middle part, and the lingual arch design can be considered at the same time according to the situation of the patient's anterior teeth, and then make the mandibular isolation tongue guard structure according to the made impression of the mandibular dentition.

[0020] After wearing this isolation tongue guard, patients with crossbite can block the forward thrust of the lower tongue muscles on the mandible, thereby slowing down the development of the mandible. Then, by utilizing the unbalanced force advantage between the lip muscles and the tongue muscles, the lower anterior teeth can be inclined lingually or the mandibular dentition can be posteriorly displaced. At the same time, combined with the training of the child's tongue muscle elevation, the correction goal of correcting the child's crossbite can be achieved.

[0021] Advantages of the present utility model:

[0022] (1) The present utility model provides a mandibular isolation tongue guard structure, which can block the low tongue position of patients with crossbite; this mandibular isolation tongue guard structure designed by the present utility model is an orthodontic appliance that can relieve the thrust of the tongue muscles on the mandible. It can be applied by orthodontists to correct the crossbite problem in children caused by the low tongue position and can be effectively used in clinical practice, providing a crossbite orthodontic appliance for clinical use, enabling crossbite patients caused by the low tongue position to be effectively corrected and not easily relapse.

[0023] (2) This mandibular isolation tongue guard structure of the present utility model is convenient and quick to use, and can effectively remove the cause of the crossbite problem caused by the low tongue position. It is very suitable for children with the bad habit of low tongue position and has high clinical value, being suitable for clinical promotion and use. Description of the drawings

[0034] As Figures 1 - 2 shown, in this Embodiment 1, a mandibular isolation tongue guard structure is designed. The mandibular isolation tongue guard structure is integrally made of a stainless steel wire with a diameter of 1.2 mm, and it includes:

[0035] Two bands 1, which are respectively sleeved on the first molars 4 on both sides of the mandible;

[0036] A connecting rod 2, which is arranged on the lingual side. The two ends of the connecting rod 2 are respectively fixedly connected to the two bands 1, and the connecting rod 2 has a curvature that bends along the arrangement direction of the mandibular teeth;

[0037] A tongue guard 3, which is arranged on the lingual side, and the tongue guard 3 is vertically arranged in the middle of the connecting rod 2 for isolating the lingual muscle. The distance between the tongue guard 2 and the mandibular teeth is set to 3.0 - 5.0 mm, and the height of the tongue guard 3 is set to 5.0 - 10.0 mm;

[0038] and two U-shaped bends 5, which are arranged on the connecting rod 2 and are respectively arranged close to the two loop bands 1, and are used to adjust the size of the connecting rod 2, so that the connecting rod 2 can be sized according to the sizes of the mandibular teeth of different patients with crossbite, so as to achieve the purpose of being applicable to different patients.

[0039] For the crossbite caused by low tongue position in children, because the pressure of the tongue muscle on the mandible causes overdevelopment of the mandible, clinicians need to first check the tongue muscle condition of the crossbite patient. After diagnosing it as a low tongue position, first take an impression of the child's mandibular dentition, and use a stainless steel wire with a diameter of 1.2 mm to make a mandibular tongue-blocking structure according to the impression, and blunt the tip to avoid damaging the tongue muscle; the design of the mandibular tongue-blocking structure is: a tongue block 3 with a height of 5.0-10.0 mm (preferably 7.0 mm) is designed at a distance of 3.0-5.0 mm from the anterior teeth on the lingual side of the mandible, and the tongue block 3 is vertical and not bent, so as to isolate the tongue muscle and facilitate the tongue muscle lifting training.

[0040] Embodiment 2

[0041] As Figures 3 - 4 shown, in this Embodiment 2, a mandibular tongue-blocking structure is designed. The mandibular tongue-blocking structure is made of a stainless steel wire with a diameter of 1.2 mm as a whole, and it includes:

[0042] Two loop bands 1, which are respectively sleeved on the first molars 4 on both sides of the mandible;

[0043] A connecting rod 2, which is arranged on the lingual side. The two ends of the connecting rod 2 are respectively fixedly connected to the two loop bands 1, and the connecting rod 2 has a curvature bent along the arrangement direction of the mandibular teeth;

[0044] A tongue block 3, which is arranged on the lingual side, and the tongue block 3 is vertically arranged in the middle of the connecting rod 2 and is used to isolate the tongue muscle. The distance between the tongue block 2 and the mandibular teeth is set to 3.0-5.0 mm, and the height of the tongue block 3 is set to 5.0-10.0 mm;

[0045] Two U-shaped bends 5, which are arranged on the connecting rod 2 and are respectively arranged close to the two loop bands 1, and are used to adjust the size of the connecting rod 2;

[0046] And a lingual arch 6, which is arranged on the connecting rod 2, and the lingual arch 6 is located between the tongue block 3 and the mandibular teeth. The lingual arch 6 can be added according to the condition of the patient's anterior teeth.

[0047] The mandibular isolation tongue stop structure of the present utility model is worn by the patient and adhesively fixed. If there is a condition of deep overbite in the anterior tooth area, it is necessary to raise the occlusal pad on the mandibular molars to relieve the anterior tooth cross-lock relationship. The mandibular isolation tongue stop structure of the present utility model is worn throughout the day, and the tongue muscle will automatically be on the lingual side of the isolation tongue stop. At the same time, the patient with crossbite is instructed to perform tongue muscle elevation training. Generally, it is worn until the patient with crossbite (child) forms a normal tongue position, which takes about three months to one year or so.

[0048] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present utility model, which is only used to explain the present utility model and is not used to limit the present utility model. Any obvious changes or variations derived from the technical solution of the present utility model are still within the protection scope of the present utility model.
