TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of tooth correction, and specifically relates to a partial position hollow appliance. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, in the field of tooth orthodontics, under the scene of premature loss of deciduous teeth, adjacent teeth may tilt or move to occupy the space required for the eruption of permanent teeth; or the permanent teeth do not fully erupt, and other teeth need orthodontic treatment, which may affect the eruption path of the permanent teeth that do not fully build the jaw or hinder the development when a traditional mouthpiece is used. In view of this, the technical personnel in the field currently usually use a gap maintainer, which helps the permanent teeth to erupt in the correct position and avoid malocclusion.
[0003] There are many types of current maintainers, such as a wire ring type maintainer, a lingual arch type gap maintainer, and a palatal arch type gap maintainer, but the above maintainers all have the following defects. Since the maintainers are fixedly arranged at the eruption position, and the maintainers are metal structures, they can easily cause discomfort to the patient, and the maintainers used cannot be used in cooperation with a clear mouthpiece, so the teeth cannot be arranged gradually.
[0004] In addition, the current design of an eruption cap on a clear mouthpiece is used to maintain a gap and reserve space for the eruption of permanent teeth when the teeth are arranged, but due to the limitation of the size of the eruption cap and the low accuracy of the prediction of the eruption path, the eruption teeth may be compressed or inhibited from growing in clinical practice.
[0005] In view of this, the technical personnel in the field need to improve the existing clear mouthpiece to overcome the above defects, while having the functions of gap maintenance and occlusal induction when the teeth are arranged, and being more comfortable and safe, which is conducive to the natural growth and development of the teeth of the patient.
