Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthodontic technology, specifically to a traction device used in orthodontic treatment. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the popularization of oral health knowledge through internet media has led to increased parental awareness of children's and adolescents' oral health and their pursuit of aesthetics, resulting in a rise in the number of children and adolescents undergoing orthodontic treatment. Early orthodontic treatment utilizes the growth and development of children and adolescents to modify the growth of the jawbone or remove factors that negatively impact its development, guiding it towards normal. The peak growth period for children is limited in duration, and orthodontic treatment for children and adolescents often requires leveraging this growth spurt to promote or inhibit jawbone development. During treatment, children must cooperate with their doctors, wearing orthodontic appliances as required, undergoing appliance adjustment, and attending regular follow-up appointments. Compliance directly affects the treatment duration and final outcome. Anterior traction devices are commonly used in orthodontic treatment, serving as extraoral anchorage components in maxillary anterior traction correction, used to correct and pull the maxilla. The three most common types of anterior traction devices on the market are dual-bar adjustable anterior traction devices, adjustable anterior traction devices, and single-bar anterior traction devices.
[0003] During treatment, the aforementioned traction devices often require children to wear them for at least ten hours a day. For example, the commonly used double-bar adjustable anterior traction device has forehead and chin plates that come into direct contact with the patient's skin and serve as leverage points. Since most patients are children, the hard material of the forehead and chin plates can rub against the child's delicate skin, potentially causing skin damage. Furthermore, the chin plate makes a semi-enclosed contact with the chin, resulting in poor ventilation and potentially irritating the child's skin, causing pain, ulceration, or even allergies. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides an orthodontic traction device for orthodontic treatment, which solves the problem that the rigid materials of forehead and chin braces can cause friction with children's delicate skin, potentially leading to skin damage. Furthermore, the chin brace has a semi-enclosed contact with the chin, resulting in poor breathability and potentially causing irritation, pain, ulceration, or even allergies to children's skin.
[0005] An orthodontic traction device for orthodontic treatment includes two symmetrically arranged mounting frames. A forehead plate and a chin plate are connected to the outer side of the mounting frames. A flexible outer cover is attached to the periphery of the forehead plate. The two ends of the flexible outer cover that are in contact with each other are respectively fixedly mounted with a Velcro surface and a Velcro hook surface.
[0006] A flexible liner is fixedly installed on the inner side of the chin patch. Multiple second ventilation holes are opened through the middle of the flexible liner, and multiple first ventilation holes are opened through the middle of the chin patch. The first ventilation holes are connected to the second ventilation holes.
[0007] Furthermore, the two mounting brackets, located at opposite ends, are connected to a first support bracket, and the forehead plate is fixedly installed on the top of the first support bracket.
[0008] Furthermore, a third fixing bracket is inserted and installed at one end of the two mounting brackets that are close to each other, and the chin patch is fixedly installed on the outside of the third fixing bracket.
[0009] Furthermore, a second support frame is inserted and installed in the middle of both mounting brackets, and two fixing columns are symmetrically fixedly installed on the outer side of the middle of the second support frame.
[0010] Furthermore, the chin plate has a groove adapted to fit the chin on the side away from the mounting bracket.
[0011] Furthermore, the flexible liner has a groove on the side away from the mounting bracket that is adapted to fit the chin.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] (1) The orthodontic traction device for orthodontic treatment described in this utility model has a flexible outer cover attached to the periphery of the forehead patch, which reduces the hardness of the forehead patch and improves comfort. The flexible outer cover is connected by the Velcro hook and Velcro hook surfaces installed on its own outer side to form a ring-shaped outer cover. After a period of use, the flexible outer cover can be easily removed for cleaning and replacement, making it more convenient and hygienic to use.
[0014] (2) The orthodontic traction device for orthodontic treatment described in this utility model has a flexible inner liner fixedly installed on the inner side of the chin plate to reduce the hardness of the flexible inner liner and improve comfort. Multiple second ventilation holes are opened through the middle of the flexible inner liner, and multiple first ventilation holes are opened through the middle of the chin plate. The first ventilation holes are connected to the second ventilation holes to improve the softness and breathability of the skin contact surface and reduce the possibility of tenderness, ulceration and allergies on the skin contact surface.
