BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0019] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic view of the utility model embodiment 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to make the technical scheme of the utility model more clear, the utility model will be further described in detail in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] Embodiment 1

[0022] In combination with the drawings, Figure 1 A device for reinforcing anchorage and tongue muscle training on an invisible aligner is composed of an invisible dental aligner 10, a metal pad 11 and a transpalatal bar 12 connected on the metal pad 11, the transpalatal bar 12 is detachably installed on the metal pad 11, and the invisible dental aligner 10 is pressed from a film sheet.

[0023] The metal pad 11 is snap-fitted on the lingual side of the maxillary first molar and is an integral structure with the invisible dental aligner 10 inside the invisible dental aligner 10, the film sheet of the invisible dental aligner 10 is provided with a window on the lingual side of the maxillary first molar, the metal pad 11 and the edge of the film sheet window are bonded, that is, the metal pad 11 is part of the lingual side of the invisible dental aligner 10.

[0024] The metal pad 11 is installed on the palatal surface of the clinical crown of the maxillary first molar.

[0025] The palatal side of the metal pad 11 is provided with a connecting structure capable of detachably mounting the transverse palatal bar 12, and the connecting structure is generally a clamping groove or a buckle, the two ends of the transverse palatal bar 12 can be directly clamped on the side of the metal pad 11, and through the detachable clamping type connecting mode, the adhesion type is replaced, the gum irritation caused by the residual adhesion agent is reduced, and oral hygiene maintenance is facilitated.

[0026] The transverse palatal bar is preferably made of a stainless steel wire with a diameter of 0.8 mm, and the distance between the transverse palatal bar and the upper palatal mucosa of the patient is 0.5-1.0 mm

[0027] The window on the invisible aligner can be directly used to mount the transverse palatal bar 12 on the metal pad 11, facilitating the mounting of the transverse palatal bar 12 on the metal pad 11.

[0028] And since the invisible aligner 10 generally needs to be provided with an accessory on the buccal side of the maxillary first molar, the detachable structure will not hinder the setting of the accessory on the buccal side of the maxillary first molar.

[0029] The metal pad 11 and the invisible aligner 10 are integrated, and during the treatment process, the teeth are constantly moving, so new invisible aligners 10 need to be constantly replaced, and the treatment process is gradually promoted by replacing the invisible aligners 10. The metal pad 11 and the invisible aligner 10 are integrated, and the position of the metal pad 11 is adjusted when the invisible aligner 10 is replaced, so that the metal pad 11 can maintain a good cooperation state with the maxillary first molar, so that after the transverse palatal bar 12 is mounted on the metal pad 11, the transverse palatal bar 12 can fully play a role in preventing the movement of the two side molars.

[0030] When replacing the new aligner, the patient can remove the detachable transverse palatal bar 12 by himself, and connect it with the metal pad 12 on the palatal side of the molar of the new aligner, which is simple to operate and cost-saving.

[0031] The transverse palatal bar 12 is provided with an omega curve towards the front teeth, and a palatal bead 13 is arranged at the center position of the omega curve of the transverse palatal bar 12, which can assist in designing tongue muscle training and correcting bad tongue habits.

[0032] The transverse palatal bar 12 can effectively maintain the width of the maxillary posterior segment dental arch, limit the mesial movement of the molar, and reduce the vertical elongation of the molar through the force of the patient's tongue muscle lifting, effectively enhancing the horizontal, sagittal and vertical anchorage.

[0033] The palatal bead 13 is added to the omega curve of the transverse palatal bar 12, which can further help the patient to perform tongue muscle training and correct bad tongue habits.

[0034] The technical solution combines the commonly used transverse palatal bar in fixed orthodontic treatment to enhance the anchorage, reduce the mesial movement of the maxillary molar, assist in retraction, and does not cause trauma; at the same time, the palatal bead is convenient for tongue muscle training and correcting bad tongue habits.

[0035] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, the description is relatively specific and detailed, but cannot be understood as a limitation on the patent scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application patent should be subject to the appended claims.
