Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dental instrument technology, specifically to a dental bracket positioner. Background Technology

[0002] In the early stages of orthodontic treatment, dentists need to bond orthodontic brackets to the surface of the patient's teeth. Accurate bonding can simplify the treatment process. For example, for square wire braces, it can reduce the bending of the archwire, shorten the treatment time, and improve treatment efficiency. In current technology, dentists usually use bracket forceps to directly bond and fix the brackets to the teeth based on their own clinical experience and rely on visual inspection for bonding positioning. This can easily lead to poor bonding position and repeated bonding operations, resulting in low treatment efficiency and poor orthodontic results.

[0003] A positioning device for orthodontic brackets disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent Application Publication No. CN208552078U, although it uses a positioning plate to embed into the archwire groove on the bracket, i.e., the bracket is installed on the device by snapping it onto the positioning plate, and the dentist then uses tweezers to hold the device with the bracket installed into the patient's mouth, and then measures and positions the teeth according to a ruler to ensure that the bracket is accurately bonded to the teeth, thereby simplifying the orthodontic treatment process and improving treatment efficiency, the existing device only measures and positions the teeth to ensure that the bracket is accurately bonded to the teeth. During the operation, medical staff cannot reduce the impact of bracket and bracket detachment, which affects work efficiency. Furthermore, it cannot provide lighting for medical staff to see details more clearly. Therefore, this utility model is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of this example, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the upper surface of the left positioning plate 1 is provided with a hinge 2, and a right positioning plate 3 is provided on one side of the hinge 2. The upper surface of the right positioning plate 3 is provided with an installation groove, and the installation groove of the right positioning plate 3 is provided with the hinge 2. The left positioning plate 1 and the right positioning plate 3 are made of resin printing material, and the spring 5 is made of spring steel. The left positioning plate 1 and the right positioning plate 3 are symmetrical. The upper surface of the left positioning plate 1 is provided with a fixing ring 4, and the inside of the fixing ring 4 is provided with a spring 5. Both ends of the spring 5 are provided with connecting hooks, and the connecting hooks of the spring 5 are connected to the fixing ring 4. The lower surface of the left positioning plate 1 is provided with a fixing plate 6, and the lower surface of the left positioning plate 1 is provided with a positioning groove. The positioning groove is provided with several fixing plates 6. The surface of the left positioning plate 1 is provided with an optical fiber groove 7, and the inside of the optical fiber groove 7 is provided with a guide. Optical fiber 8, also known as light-guiding fiber 8, is a transparent and flexible optical channel, typically composed of two layers of polymer material with the required refractive index. It transmits light signals from a light source to the target area requiring illumination, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including medicine, industry, and machine vision. The optical fiber mainly consists of a core and a cladding. The core has a higher refractive index than the cladding, allowing light to be transmitted within the core via total internal reflection, thus reducing light loss. This design enables the fiber to efficiently conduct light, making it suitable for various scenarios requiring light transmission. A locking block 9 is located at the top of the fiber optic slot 7, which has the same length as the optical fiber 8. Four locking blocks 9 are located at the top of the fiber optic slot 7. A fixing hole 10 is located on one side of the left positioning plate 1. The fixing hole 10 contains a locking mechanism. A fixing buckle 11 is attached, and a snap-fit ​​groove is provided on the inner side wall of the fixing hole 10. The snap-fit ​​groove of the fixing hole 10 is compatible with the fixing buckle 11. A connection port 12 is provided on one side of the fixing buckle 11, and a light guide fiber 8 is provided on one side of the connection port 12. A fixing seat 13 is provided on the surface of the fixing plate 6, and a bracket 14 is provided on the lower surface of the fixing seat 13. The lower surface of the bracket 14 is provided with teeth 15. During use, the fixing plate 6 is inserted into the fixing seat 13. The elastic force of the spring 5 causes the left positioning plate 1 and the right positioning plate 3 to rotate through the hinge 2, causing the left positioning plate 1 and the right positioning plate 3 to tilt up on both sides. This allows the fixing seat 13 and the bracket 14 under the left positioning plate 1 and the right positioning plate 3 to be stretched and tightened, which can effectively reduce the stress on medical staff during operation. The detachment of the fixing base 13 and the bracket 14 affects work efficiency. After installation, medical staff should level the left positioning plate 1 and the right positioning plate 3 to make them easier to remove. By placing the optical fiber 8 in the optical fiber groove 7 and fixing it with the clip 9, the optical fiber 8 can be prevented from falling off during use. The fixing buckle 11 and the fixing hole 10 can be used for quick installation and removal. By connecting the connection port 12 on the fixing buckle 11 to the lighting equipment, the optical fiber 8 can be illuminated. This allows the optical fiber 8 to be illuminated when medical staff are working, providing more uniform light so that doctors can see details more clearly and perform treatment more accurately, thus improving work efficiency.

[0025] The working principle of this practical application is as follows:

[0026] The fixing plate 6 is inserted into the fixing seat 13. The spring force of the spring 5 causes the left positioning plate 1 and the right positioning plate 3 to rotate via the hinge 2, causing the left and right positioning plates 1 and 3 to tilt upwards. This stretches and tightens the fixing seat 13 and the bracket 14 under the left and right positioning plates 1 and 3, changing the original vertical force of dislocation into a lateral force, reducing violent dislocation and making it easier to remove. The optical fiber 8 is placed in the optical fiber groove 7 and fixed by the locking block 9 to prevent the optical fiber 8 from falling off during use and affecting its use. The fixing buckle 11 is used to fix it. The fixing hole 10 allows for quick installation and removal. By connecting the fixing buckle 11 to the lighting equipment through the connection port 12, the light guide fiber 8 provides illumination. This positioner effectively reduces the impact on work efficiency caused by the fixing seat 13 and bracket 14 falling off during operation, and makes it easier to remove the left positioning plate 1 and right positioning plate 3. When medical staff are working, the light guide fiber 8 can provide illumination, which can provide more uniform light, allowing doctors to see details more clearly, perform treatment more accurately, and improve work efficiency.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
