[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings Figure 1 to the drawings Figure 4The principle and characteristics of the utility model are described, the examples are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the range of the utility model.
[0022] A type III Qian holder is used for wearing after the treatment of type III malocclusion, belongs to an active holder, and like Figures 1-4 As shown, the upper jaw assembly and the lower jaw assembly need to be worn at the same time in order to ensure the wearing effect of the patient.
[0023] The upper jaw assembly and the lower jaw assembly both include a base 1 located on the lingual side, and a clasp 4 and a hyperbolic labial arch 2 located outside the base 1 and connected with the base 1. The number of the clasp 4 is two, and the clasp 4 is arranged on both sides of the hyperbolic labial arch 2. The hyperbolic labial arch 2 and the clasp 4 are both made of stainless steel wire or nickel-titanium alloy wire and can provide personalized orthodontic retention force through precise bending adjustment.
[0024] The base 1 is made of a high polymer material and is made through a resin hot-pressing forming process or a three-dimensional printing mode, so as to ensure the accurate fitting with the oral soft tissue and the tooth surface. In order to reduce the bacterial growth during wearing, an antibacterial coating can be coated on the surface of the base 1 according to the periodontal health status of the patient and individual needs. At the same time, the hyperbolic labial arch 2 and the clasp 4 can also be coated on the surface according to the periodontal health status of the patient and individual needs, so as to enhance the corrosion resistance and durability and be suitable for long-term wearing. The antibacterial coating and the coating treatment mode are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described here.
[0025] In order to increase the strength of the holder, provide stable retention force, and prevent the hyperbolic labial arch 2 from shaking, a connecting steel wire 3 is arranged between the clasp 4 and the hyperbolic labial arch 2. One end of the connecting steel wire 3 is wound on the clasp 4 and the hyperbolic labial arch 2, and the other end is buried in the base 1 through the occlusal surface adjacent gap. The material selected for the connecting steel wire 3 is a steel wire with a diameter of 0.5-1.0 mm. After the length and bending angle of the connecting steel wire 3 are optimized and designed, the thin wire diameter ensures that the connecting steel wire 3 will not cause damage to the adjacent teeth when passing through the occlusal surface adjacent gap.
[0026] The base 1 of the upper jaw assembly is internally provided with multiple Qian J-shaped spurs 5 arranged at intervals from the distal side of the left lateral incisor to the distal side of the right lateral incisor. The Qian J-shaped spur 5 provides preventive retention force for preventing recurrence after treatment. Specifically, the number of Qian J-shaped spurs 5 is 4-6, and 2-3 Qian J-shaped spurs 5 are arranged on each side. The distance between two Qian J-shaped spurs 5 is 2-4 mm, and the length of the Qian J-shaped spur 5 is 5-8 mm. Usually, the barb at the end of the Qian J-shaped spur 5 faces the tooth side. During the treatment process, the doctor can adaptively adjust the specific number, distance and length of the Qian J-shaped spur 5 according to the specific condition of the patient.
[0027] In order to make the retainer have the correction effect in the wearing process of the patient with the Class III malocclusion, the maxillary assembly is further provided with a Q-type traction curve 6 integrally formed by the steel wire between the connecting steel wire 3 and the clasp 4, the Q-type traction curve 6 is inclined to the distal end at an angle of 40-50°, the width is 2-3 mm, and the height is 3-4 mm. The inclination angle, the width and the height can be adjusted according to the actual situation of the patient. The mandibular assembly is provided with a traction curve 7 arranged in a staggered manner and close to the middle on both sides of the double-curved lip arch 2. The Q-type traction curve 6 and the traction curve 7 are hung with a rubber band. Through the traction of the rubber band, the maxillary assembly and the mandibular assembly are continuously subjected to the pulling force, so that the correction effect can be achieved, and the correction effect caused by the tooth movement can be avoided. In order to improve the fitting degree and the precision of the production and optimize the production efficiency, the whole retainer can be customized through the digital scanning and 3D printing technology.
[0028] When used, the orthodontist wears the Q-type III retainer on the maxillary and mandibular dentition of the patient after treatment, the double-curved lip arch 2 is located on the labial side of the anterior teeth, and the clasp 4 is located on the first permanent molar of the maxilla or the mandible, thereby playing a retaining role. The doctor can suggest the patient to wear it all day except when eating and brushing teeth, or to wear it at night or every other day according to the condition of the dentition, so as to consolidate the treatment effect and avoid the regression.
[0029] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
