Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthodontic technology, specifically an adhesive occlusal pad for expanding and retracting molars, which aims to solve problems such as insufficient maxillary bone development, anterior crossbite, and mesial displacement of the upper first molar, so as to improve the efficiency of orthodontic treatment. Background Technology

[0002] Anterior crossbite is a common malocclusion in orthodontic clinics, severely affecting patients' occlusal function and facial aesthetics, and early treatment is recommended. This type of malocclusion often manifests as insufficient development of the maxilla in three dimensions or excessive development of the mandible, or both. Orthodontic treatment requires maxillary expansion and anterior traction to inhibit mandibular growth and development, improve jaw misalignment, and correct anterior crossbite. If the patient also has premature loss of the upper second deciduous molar and mesial displacement of the upper first molar, traditional expansion and traction appliances such as the Hyrax or Hass expander cannot simultaneously push the upper first molar backward. After the expansion and traction treatment is completed, a new appliance must be designed to distalize the upper first molar, making the treatment process cumbersome and time-consuming, and involving back-and-forth tooth movement.

[0003] Furthermore, traditional orthodontic appliances with expansion and traction have limitations in design and application. The retention of the appliance to the teeth is insufficient, making it prone to falling out or shifting. This necessitates removal, cleaning of the tooth surface and the appliance, and re-bonding. This increases the number of patient visits and the dentist's clinical work time, prolonging the patient's orthodontic treatment duration. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adhesive jaw pad for expanding and retracting molars, which simultaneously addresses issues such as maxillary hypoplasia, anterior crossbite, and mesial displacement of the maxillary first molar, thereby improving the efficiency of orthodontic treatment.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an adhesive occlusal pad for expanding, retracting, and displacing molars, comprising:

[0006] The baseplate includes a first anterior baseplate located on the left side of the anterior maxilla, a second anterior baseplate located on the right side of the anterior maxilla, a first posterior baseplate located on the left side of the posterior maxilla, and a second posterior baseplate located on the right side of the posterior maxilla.

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.

[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides an adhesive occlusal pad for expanding and retracting molars. The device includes a base, which includes a first anterior base 15 located on the left anterior part of the maxilla 100, a second anterior base 16 located on the right anterior part of the maxilla 100, a first posterior base 17 located on the left posterior part of the maxilla 100, and a second posterior base 18 located on the right posterior part of the maxilla 100. Each base is set close to the palate and spaced apart from each other. The first anterior base 15 is attached to the left upper first premolar 1, the second anterior base 16 is attached to the right upper first premolar 1, the first posterior base 17 is attached to the left upper first molar 3, and the second posterior base 18 is attached to the right upper first molar 3. The base is used to connect the force-applying devices, so that the orthodontic appliance forms a whole, enhancing retention, stability, and resistance.

[0025] The device also includes a spiral palatal expander, comprising a mid-palatal expander 8 installed between the first anterior base 15 and the second anterior base 16, a first lateral palatal expander 11 installed between the first anterior base 15 and the first posterior base 17, and a second lateral palatal expander 14 installed between the second anterior base 16 and the second posterior base 18. The spacing between the bases can be adjusted by adjusting the expanders. Specifically, the mid-palatal expander 8 can be adjusted to widen the gap between the first anterior base 15 and the second anterior base 16. The spacing is increased to widen the maxillary 100, stimulate suture growth, and promote the growth and development of the maxillary 100 bone, thereby achieving the purpose of orthodontic treatment. Furthermore, the spacing between the first anterior base 15 and the first posterior base 17, and between the second anterior base 16 and the second posterior base 18, can be increased by adjusting the first palatal expander 11 and the second palatal expander 14. This applies a pushing force to the left and right upper first molars 3 respectively, causing them to move distally and providing space for the subsequent eruption of the upper second premolar 2. Therefore, this invention can simultaneously solve the problems of insufficient maxillary 100 bone development, anterior crossbite, and mesial displacement of the upper first molar 3.

[0026] This bonded jaw pad appliance, designed for both arch expansion and molar distalization, effectively widens the maxillary 100 bone through its unique design, stimulating suture growth and overall bone development, thus achieving orthodontic goals. Simultaneously, it applies a pushing force to the maxillary first molars (3) on both sides, moving them distally and providing necessary space for the subsequent eruption of the maxillary second premolars (2). Therefore, this appliance can simultaneously address maxillary 100 bone hypoplasia, anterior crossbite, and mesial displacement of the maxillary first molars (3), demonstrating significant therapeutic efficacy and broad application prospects.

[0027] In some embodiments, as Figure 1-3As shown, a first band 4 and a second band 6 are respectively attached to the upper first premolar 1 on both the left and right sides. The first band 4 and the second band 6 are connected to the palatal expander 8 through the first anterior traction hook 5 and the second anterior traction hook 7, respectively. This design allows the palatal expander 8 to apply force to the first band 4 and the second band 6 through the first anterior traction hook 5 and the second anterior traction hook 7, thereby directly transmitting the expansion force to the upper first premolar 1, achieving effective widening of the maxillary 100 bone.

[0028] In some embodiments, as Figure 1-3 As shown, a third band 9 and a fourth band 12 are respectively attached to the upper first molars 3 on both sides. The third band 9 and the fourth band 12 are connected to the first palatal expander 11 and the second palatal expander 14 via a first posterior traction hook 10 and a second posterior traction hook 13, respectively. This design allows the first palatal expander 11 and the second palatal expander 14 to apply force to the third band 9 and the fourth band 12 through the first posterior traction hook 10 and the second posterior traction hook 13, thereby directly transmitting the thrust to the upper first molars 3, causing them to move distally. This design achieves direct transmission and effective distribution of thrust, ensuring that the upper first molars 3 receive continuous and stable thrust, thus effectively moving them distally. This not only provides the necessary space for the subsequent eruption of the upper second premolars 2 but also helps improve tooth alignment and occlusion. By precisely controlling the direction and magnitude of the thrust, this device can better adapt to the orthodontic needs of different patients, improving the accuracy of treatment results and patient satisfaction.

[0029] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the molar occlusal pads include two first occlusal pads 19 and two second occlusal pads 20. The two first occlusal pads 19 are placed on the left and right upper first premolars 1 respectively, and are positioned on the first band 4 and the second band 6 respectively. The two second occlusal pads 20 are placed on the left and right upper first molars 3 respectively, and are positioned on the third band 9 and the fourth band 12 respectively. The molar occlusal pads can remove anterior crossbite locks, facilitating the correction of anterior crossbite. The combination of the first occlusal pads 19 with the first band 4 and the second band 6, and the combination of the second occlusal pads 20 with the third band 9 and the fourth band 12, enhances the retention force between the appliance and the teeth, reduces the possibility of appliance dislodgement or displacement, and thus improves the stability and reliability of the orthodontic effect. The molar occlusal pads can evenly distribute the orthodontic force and occlusal force, improving the comfort and efficacy of the orthodontic process. In addition, the presence of the molar occlusal pads also helps to adjust the occlusal relationship, enabling patients to maintain normal occlusal function during orthodontic treatment.

[0030] This bonded occlusal pad orthodontic appliance for expanding, retracting, and distalizing molars uses resin as the base material primarily because resin possesses excellent biocompatibility and plasticity, ensuring a close fit between the base and the patient's oral tissues while minimizing irritation and discomfort. The lightweight nature of resin also makes the entire appliance more portable, easier for patients to wear and adapt to. Furthermore, resin is easy to process and adjust, allowing for personalized customization based on the patient's specific oral condition, ensuring the appliance's precision and treatment effectiveness. Therefore, choosing resin as the base material not only improves the appliance's comfort and fit but also further enhances its therapeutic effect and patient satisfaction.

[0031] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the first anterior base 15 and the second anterior base 16 are symmetrically provided with a first traction hook 21 and a second traction hook 22 extending towards the tooth surface, respectively. These two traction hooks are connected to a mask-type anterior traction device via rubber bands, thereby promoting maxillary bone development and correcting anterior crossbite. Specifically, when the rubber bands are hooked onto the first traction hook 21 and the second traction hook 22, they can generate a continuous pulling force. This pulling force helps to promote the sagittal growth and development of the maxilla, and its combined use with a palatal spiral expander can further promote the growth and development of the maxilla.

[0032] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
