Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of braces removal tools, specifically a portable braces removal tool. Background Technology
[0002] Clear aligners are generally made by pressing a high-polymer elastic material film onto a dental model. The aligner fits snugly against the teeth, and attachments bonded to the teeth facilitate tooth movement. For example, patent document CN216318095U discloses a removable clear aligner with a fulcrum at the bottom end. This fulcrum provides a support point between the tooth surface and the outer surface of the aligner for easy removal. This fulcrum primarily provides a gripping point for tools such as fingers or clear aligner removal devices when removing the aligner. The fulcrum for the peeling action allows for better use of skillful force to remove the braces. The braces are U-shaped and have attachment bubbles on them. The attachments are placed between the teeth and the braces, and are mainly set according to the current position of the teeth to be adjusted and moved. The wrapping force of the attachment bubbles on the inside of the braces provides orthodontic force to the current teeth, which improves the efficiency of removing the braces and avoids damage to the braces due to improper removal. The height and position of the force point are set to effectively avoid hindering the daily activities of the tongue, so that there is no foreign body sensation when wearing them, which helps to improve the wearer's compliance.
[0003] In actual use, braces need to be soaked and cleaned frequently, and they are usually removed or installed by hand, which is very unhygienic and causes a lot of inconvenience. Therefore, the existing braces lack a special removal tool and need to be further improved. Utility Model Content
