Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of orthodontics, in particular to an orthodontic cutting and punching dual-purpose pliers used for assisting invisible correction traction. Background Art

[0002] With improved quality of life, more and more patients with malocclusion seek orthodontic treatment to improve their appearance. Today, people not only demand predictable treatment results but also have higher expectations for aesthetics during treatment. The use of aesthetically pleasing braces has become a trend. With the continuous advancement of computer technology, bracketless braces have emerged. Bracketless invisible braces combine the efficiency and precision of traditional fixed appliances with a simpler design, greater comfort, aesthetics, and improved oral hygiene. They are now widely used in the treatment of malocclusion.

[0003] Since the current membrane materials cannot fully realize the designed tooth movement, rubber band traction is often required to assist tooth movement in invisible orthodontic treatment. Although the "braces cutting" and "braces windowing" designs in the invisible orthodontic system can assist traction, several shortcomings are still found in actual clinical applications: ① The "braces cutting" and "braces windowing" designs require orthodontists to make advance judgments at the beginning of the invisible orthodontic treatment design stage. If the patient deviates from the tooth movement design during the follow-up monitoring, it cannot be adjusted in time, resulting in prolonged treatment time; ② The "cutting" and "windowing" performed by the braces production system usually cut a large amount, which reduces the amount of braces wrapped around the corresponding teeth, increases the risk of teeth "coming off the braces", and greatly reduces the effect of tooth movement; ③ The prefabricated traction buckles of the braces have a significant foreign body sensation and are easy to irritate the oral mucosa, greatly reducing the patient's comfort during invisible treatment. Utility Model Content

[0004] In response to the above problems, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide an orthodontic cutting and punching dual-purpose pliers for assisting invisible braces traction.

Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0028] The following combination Figure 1-Figure 5 The utility model is described in detail.

[0029] Example

[0030] A dual-purpose orthodontic cutting and punching pliers for assisting invisible correction traction comprises two mutually hinged pliers arms 1, the ends of the pliers arms 1 are provided with pliers heads 2, one of the pliers heads 2 is detachably connected to a working head 5, and the working head 5 is provided with a tool.

[0031] After the braces are produced, different working heads 5 are selected for cutting or windowing during the correction process based on actual conditions. The different working heads 5 have different sizes and styles of cutters, which can minimize the amount of cutting required to ensure the braces are wrapped properly. The pliers 2 without the working head 5 are small (thin and narrow), making it easier to insert the pliers 2 into the braces. The pliers 2 with the working head 5 are positioned outside the braces. During use, the two pliers arms 1 are grasped and the two pliers 2 are rotated relative to each other, allowing the cutter to cut the braces located between the two pliers 2.

[0032] When braces need to be cut, a tool having a punching blade 8 and a cutting blade 7 is selected. This tool includes the punching blade 8 and the cutting blade 7. The cutting blade 7 is arranged radially along the punching blade 8, and one side of the cutting blade 7 is fixedly connected to the punching blade 8. While the punching blade 8 punches holes in the braces, the cutting blade 7 also cuts a cutting line along the holes in the braces, making it easier for the rubber band to be inserted into the hole along the cutting line, thereby using the rubber band for traction correction. The incision of the punching blade 8 has a variety of diameters, such as 1mm, 2mm, and 3mm. Different sizes of punching blades 8 can be selected according to actual conditions to reduce the amount of cutting.

[0033] When it is necessary to perform a window operation on the braces, Figure 5 As shown, a tool with only a punching blade 8 is selected, and the braces window is to expose the tooth bonding auxiliary traction device for auxiliary traction, so there is no need for a cutting blade 7. The incision of the punching blade 8 has a variety of diameter sizes, such as 2mm, 3mm, and 4mm.

[0034] A through slot 9 communicating with the punching blade 8 is provided on the working head 5. The through slot 9 facilitates the waste material cut out by the punching blade 8 to be removed from the through slot 9.

[0035] The punching blade 8 is tapered, and the diameter of the punching blade 8 at the end closer to the working head 5 is larger than the diameter of the punching blade 8 at the end farther from the working head 5. As the cut waste moves toward the through slot 9, it gradually loses contact with the inner wall of the punching blade 8, thereby reducing the friction of the waste removal and making it easier to remove the waste.

[0036] The end surface of the pliers head 2 away from the pliers arm 1 is provided with a mounting groove 3 for engaging the working head 5. Screws 10 are threaded through both sides of the pliers head 2 and abut against the side walls of the working head 5. When the working head 5 is engaged with the mounting groove 3, the working head 5 is restricted from rotating around the screws 10, and the screws 10 then abut and secure the working head 5.

[0037] In order to facilitate the processing of the mounting groove 3, the pliers head 2 of the working head 5 is arranged to be connected to the mounting groove 3 near the end face of the other pliers head 2. At this time, the working head 5 can only be restricted from rotating upward. However, since the working head 5 can only be deflected upward under force during use, the opening of the lower end of the mounting groove 3 does not affect normal use.

[0038] Countersunk holes 11 for accommodating the heads of the screws 10 are provided on both sides of the pliers head 2 so that the screws 10 do not protrude from the side walls of the pliers head 2 and avoid the screws 10 being hooked on other objects.

[0039] Positioning holes 6 corresponding to the screws 10 are provided on both sides of the working head 5 to prevent the working head 5 from sliding in the mounting slot 3, thereby avoiding the deflection and sliding of the working head 5 after being subjected to force during the cutting process, resulting in changes in the cutting position.

[0040] The other pliers head 2 is provided with an avoidance groove 4 on one side close to the cutter. After the two pliers heads 2 are fitted together, the avoidance groove 4 can accommodate the cutter to avoid damage to the cutter and also facilitate cutting the braces.

[0041] After using the cutting and punching dual-purpose pliers of the present application, the braces can be cut as needed, avoiding the obvious foreign body sensation of the prefabricated traction buckles on the braces, reducing the irritation of the oral mucosa, and increasing the comfort of the patient during invisible treatment.

[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
