Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tooth movement technology, and in particular to an auxiliary device for mesial movement of molars. Background Technology
[0002] There are three types of molar occlusion: the first is called neutral malocclusion, the second is called distal malocclusion, and the third is called mesial malocclusion.
[0003] In mesial malocclusion, the lower dental arch and mandible are in a mesial position. If the mandible is moved anteriorly by 1 / 4 of a molar or half the distance of a premolar, i.e., the mesiobuccal cusp of the upper first permanent molar is opposite the distobuccal cusp of the lower first permanent molar, it is called a mild mesial malocclusion. If the mandible is moved mesially by 1 / 2 of a molar or the distance of one premolar, such that the mesiobuccal cusp of the upper first permanent molar occludes between the lower first and second permanent molars, it is a complete mesial malocclusion.
[0004] When molars are mesialized, because the anchorage of posterior teeth is greater than that of anterior teeth, simple intramaxillary traction for molar mesialization can easily lead to undesirable results such as distal movement of anterior teeth and premolars. If only anchorage screws are used to traction molars, undesirable results such as mesial tilting and molar intrusion can easily occur. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a molar mesial movement assist device.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A molar mesial movement assist device includes a main archwire, multiple orthodontic brackets, an auxiliary archwire, ligature wires, and anchorage screws. The main archwire passes through and is fixed to the multiple orthodontic brackets. Two question mark hooks of the auxiliary archwire are sleeved on the main archwire. The auxiliary archwire also has two small loops formed by bending. The small loop in the distal direction is rigidly connected to the anchorage screw implanted in the alveolar bone by ligature wires, while the other small loop is free. A traction hook is fixedly connected to the top of one of the orthodontic brackets. A traction elastic band is sleeved on the mesial portion of the auxiliary archwire, and the traction elastic band is connected to the traction hook.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, one end of the traction hook is integrally formed with an arc surface.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this invention, the auxiliary bowwire and the main bowwire form a rectangular structure.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the auxiliary bowwire is made of 0.019×0.025 inch stainless steel wire.
[0011] As a further improvement of this invention, the multiple orthodontic brackets correspond one-to-one with multiple teeth.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. By using auxiliary steel wires, the device ultimately forms a stable rectangular structure. After force is applied, it will not be affected by lip and cheek movements or eating, and will not shift, thus reducing the feeling of a foreign object.
[0014] 2. By indirectly using anchorage screws, when applying force to move the molars mesially, the reaction force will not be applied to the anterior teeth or premolars, but will be transmitted to the anchorage screws through the auxiliary archwire, thus avoiding the adverse effects of distal movement of the anterior teeth and premolars.
[0015] 3. By using a question mark hook for fixation at the end of the main archwire, there is no complete fixation, which does not increase the frictional force of tooth movement. At the same time, the labial inclination force of the molars on the anterior teeth is also reduced. Attached Figure Description
