Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of oral prosthetics technology, and in particular to braces and dental restoration systems. Background Technology

[0002] In orthodontics, a "Turbo Bite" or "occlusal appliance" refers to a small orthodontic device, usually attached to a part of the braces. Its function is to prevent teeth from fully occluding, thus helping to adjust the bite. This device protects the braces from damage caused by overbite and also assists in certain orthodontic treatments. One method of applying an occlusal appliance involves adding small square blocks to the occlusal surface to elevate it. Elevation, as an orthodontic technique, has the effects of optimizing chewing function, promoting tooth alignment, improving orthodontic results, and reducing the risk of tooth damage. However, after elevation, the occlusal surface of the braces will be flattened, potentially causing the patient's upper and lower teeth to lose their proper occlusal alignment. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a braces and a dental restoration system to address the aforementioned technical problems.

[0004] This application provides a dental brace, the dental brace comprising:

[0005] The main body includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface of the main body has several tooth cavity openings, and the outer surface of the main body has several tooth protrusions. Each tooth cavity is opposite to a matching tooth protrusion.

[0006] The attachment includes an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface of the attachment having an anastomotic recess, the outer surface of the attachment having an anastomotic protrusion, the number of the attachments being configured to be at least one, the anastomotic recess of each attachment being configured to anastomose and nest with at least a portion of the protruding surface of a matching tooth protrusion, and the anastomotic protrusion of each attachment being configured to anastomose and contact with a matching tooth surface or a matching other brace surface.

[0007] In one embodiment, the main body and the appendage are configured as an integrally formed structure; and / or,

[0008] The main body and the appendage are made of the same material; and / or

[0009] The main body and the appendage are configured to be printed as a single unit using 3D printing.

[0010] In one embodiment, different external dental protrusions among the plurality of said external dental protrusions have externally convex surfaces of different shapes; and / or,

[0011] The different tooth cavities in the several tooth cavities have cavity surfaces with different shapes.

[0012] In one embodiment, the anastomotic recess of each appendage is configured to anastomose and nest with a matching externally convex surface of the tooth; or,

[0013] Each of the appendages is configured to anastomose with the entire convex surface of a matching tooth.

[0014] In one embodiment, the anastomotic protrusion of each appendage is configured to have the same shape as the partial protruding surface of a matching tooth protrusion; or

[0015] Each of the appendages is configured to have the same convex surface shape as a matching tooth protrusion.

[0016] In one embodiment, the thickness value is the same at any location of the appendage.

[0017] In one embodiment, the thickness of the attachment is set between 0.1 mm and 2 mm.

[0018] In one embodiment, at least one cavitation chamber is formed on the inner surface of the main body, and at least one cavitation protrusion is formed on the outer surface of the main body, with each cavitation chamber being opposite to a matching cavitation protrusion.

[0019] In one embodiment, the main body is configured to define a linear virtual distribution trajectory, with a plurality of tooth cavities and at least one cavitation chamber disposed along the linear virtual distribution trajectory on the inner surface of the main body, each of the cavitation chambers being located between two adjacent tooth cavities, and a plurality of tooth protrusions and at least one cavitation protrusion disposed along the linear virtual distribution trajectory on the outer surface of the main body, each of the cavitation protrusions being located between two adjacent tooth protrusions.

[0020] This application provides a dental restoration system, which includes the dental brace.

[0021] In the aforementioned braces and dental restoration system, the main body of the braces can be fitted with a matching attachment on the convex surface of the tooth as needed. The attachment, based on a matching recess that matches the structure of the convex surface of the tooth, allows the attachment to nest with the matching convex surface, thereby constructing a raised structure that matches the shape of the tooth convex surface. This raised structure is different from the ordinary flat raised structure in the prior art; instead, it is a raised structure that matches the specific convex surface structure of the tooth. Therefore, unlike the traditional flat raised structure, it will not fill the occlusal surface of the braces. Thus, based on the matching attachment, it ensures that the patient's upper and lower teeth do not lose their occlusal alignment. Attached Figure Description

If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0034] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application provides a dental brace, which includes a main body 1000 and an appendage 2000. It should be noted that, although the dental brace is defined here as having two parts, the main body 1000 and the appendage 2000, and is based on... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The virtual dividing line 3000 clearly separates the main body 1000 and the appendage 2000, but this does not mean that the main body 1000 and the appendage 2000 are two independent parts. For example, in one embodiment, the main body 1000 and the appendage 2000 can be configured as an integral structure, and the main body 1000 and the appendage 2000 are configured to be made of the same material. The manufacturing method of the braces may include 3D printing the main body 1000 and the appendage 2000 as an integral structure, thereby forming an integral braces of the same material.

[0035] For example, the 3D printing method can be liquid resin printing, also known as liquid resin photopolymerization 3D printing. Liquid resin printing is an additive manufacturing technology that uses liquid photosensitive resin as material and builds three-dimensional objects layer by layer through the principle of photopolymerization.

[0036] The basic principle of liquid resin printing is photocuring. When light of a specific wavelength shines on liquid photosensitive resin, the photoinitiator in the resin absorbs the light energy and generates active species such as free radicals or cations. These active species initiate a polymerization reaction between the monomers and prepolymers in the resin, causing the liquid resin to rapidly transform from a liquid to a solid state. A solid model part is then printed on the molding stage. This model part is the aforementioned dental brace. When the model part is printed, it is suspended upside down on the molding stage. At this point, an automatic unloading device is needed to separate the top of the model part from the molding stage, allowing the model part to fall freely.

[0037] Based on the aforementioned 3D printing method, the shape and position of the appendage 2000 on the main body 1000 can be freely adjusted. Specifically, the operator can customize the shape and position of the appendage 2000 on the main body 1000 on a digital model according to treatment needs, thereby designing the optimal structure suitable for the patient's oral problems.

[0038] In addition, those skilled in the art can choose appropriate materials and 3D printing methods according to actual needs, without any limitations.

[0039] The main body 1000 includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface of the main body 1000 has several tooth-shaped cavities 1100, and the outer surface has several tooth-shaped protrusions 1200. Each tooth-shaped cavity 1100 is positioned opposite a matching tooth-shaped protrusion 1200. The attachment 2000 includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface of the attachment 2000 has a matching recess 2100, and the outer surface has a matching protrusion 2200. In this configuration, the attachment 2000 serves as a support structure for the protruding surface of the tooth-shaped protrusion 1200, and it limits the matching and nesting of the matching recess 2100 with the protruding surface of the tooth-shaped protrusion 1200, thereby forming a support structure on the protruding surface of the tooth-shaped protrusion 1200 that is identical to the structure of the tooth-shaped protrusion 1200.

[0040] Since each of the several external protrusions 1200 has an externally convex surface of a different shape, and each of the several tooth cavity 1100 has a cavity surface of a different shape, each external protrusion 1200 and tooth cavity 1100 is formed as a unique structure that matches a specific tooth shape. Therefore, the number of attachment portions 2000 is configured to be one or more, and each attachment portion 2000 is configured to match one external protrusion 1200, that is, to be disposed on a matching external protrusion 1200, such that the anastomotic recess 2100 of each attachment portion 2000 is configured to anastomose and nest with at least a portion of the externally convex surface of a matching external protrusion 1200.

[0041] Of course, in one embodiment, the anastomotic recess 2100 of each appendage portion 2000 may be configured to anastomose and nest with a portion of the convex surface of a matching external dental protrusion 1200, or alternatively, each anastomotic recess 2100 of the appendage portion 2000 may be configured to anastomose and nest with all the convex surfaces of a matching external dental protrusion 1200. Furthermore, each anastomotic protrusion 2200 of the appendage portion 2000 may be configured to have the same shape as a portion of the convex surface of a matching external dental protrusion 1200, or alternatively, each anastomotic protrusion 2200 of the appendage portion 2000 may be configured to have the same shape as all the convex surfaces of a matching external dental protrusion 1200.

[0042] The thickness value at any position of the appendage 2000 can be set to be the same at all positions according to actual needs, or adjusted to have different thickness values ​​at specific positions, thereby achieving customized adjustment of the thickness value at any position of the appendage 2000. This relies on the customization function of 3D printing. For example, in one embodiment, the thickness value of the appendage 2000 is set between 0.1mm and 2mm.

[0043] Therefore, based on the braces provided above, the main body 1000 of the braces can be provided with a matching attachment part 2000 on the convex surface of the required tooth protrusion 1200 as needed. The attachment part 2000 is based on a matching recess 2100 that matches the structure of the convex surface of the tooth protrusion 1200, so that the attachment part 2000 can fit and nest with the matching tooth protrusion 1200.

[0044] Therefore, a raised structure matching the shape of the external protrusion 1200 of the tooth can be constructed. This raised structure is different from the ordinary flat raised structure in the prior art. Instead, it is a raised structure that matches the external convex surface structure of the specific external protrusion 1200. Since the thickness value of any position of the attachment part 2000 can be customized and adjusted, the anastomosing external protrusion 2200 of the attachment part 2000 can also be constructed to have a surface shape and structure that can match the matching tooth surface or another matching brace surface.

[0045] The advantage of customizable thickness values ​​at any position of the appendage 2000 is that it can adjust the upper and lower occlusal surfaces to improve comfort. In addition, adjusting the thickness at any position of the appendage 2000 can also help treat patients' occlusal problems.

[0046] For example, if the braces of this application are for use on the lower teeth, the anastomotic protrusion 2200 of each of the attachment portions 2000 of the braces can be configured to make anastomotic contact with the tooth surface matching the upper teeth or the surface of the matching upper braces, so that the occlusal surface of the braces will not be filled in as in a conventional flat pad structure, and thus the matching attachment portions 2000 ensure that the teeth of the patient's upper and lower jaws will not lose their occlusal alignment.

[0047] In one embodiment, the inner surface of the main body 1000 is further provided with at least one cavitation chamber, and the outer surface of the main body 1000 is further provided with at least one cavitation protrusion, each cavitation chamber being opposite to a matching cavitation protrusion. For example, the main body 1000 is configured to define a linear virtual distribution trajectory, with a plurality of tooth cavities 1100 and at least one cavitation chamber disposed along the linear virtual distribution trajectory on the inner surface of the main body 1000, each cavitation chamber being located between two adjacent tooth cavities 1100, and a plurality of tooth protrusions 1200 and at least one cavitation protrusion disposed along the linear virtual distribution trajectory on the outer surface of the main body 1000, each cavitation protrusion being located between two adjacent tooth protrusions 1200.

[0048] This application provides a dental restoration system, which includes the aforementioned dental crown. Since the specific structure, functional principle, and technical effects of the dental crown have been described in detail above, they will not be repeated here. Any technical details regarding the aforementioned dental crown can be found in the foregoing description.

[0049] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0050] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
