AI Technical Summary
In clinical orthodontic procedures, the lack of specialized tools makes it easy for ligature wires to be exposed, which is time-consuming and laborious. In addition, the sliding cover of the self-ligating bracket is inconvenient to open, requiring frequent tool changes and affecting the orthodontic efficiency.
Design a multifunctional orthodontic manipulator with a ligature wire straightener at the mouth part and a blunt tip on one side of the tail part for opening and closing the self-locking bracket sliding cover, and a hook tip on the other side for prying up the ligature wire head. The manipulator integrates ligature wire straightening, removal and self-locking bracket sliding cover operation into one unit.
It achieves secure and non-exposed clamping of the ligature wire head, and convenient opening of the self-locking bracket sliding cover, improving operational efficiency and convenience, and enabling efficient operation of multiple functions.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to tools used for orthodontic treatment, and in particular to a multifunctional orthodontic manipulator. Background Technology
[0002] In clinical orthodontic procedures, when fabricating orthodontic appliances, the archwire needs to be inserted into the brackets and secured with ligatures. The cut ends of the ligatures must be neatly aligned and tightly fitted within the appliance's gaps, without protrusion. Otherwise, the appliance may be damaged when the patient speaks, eats, or brushes their teeth, causing the ligatures to come loose and potentially leading to swallowing or injury to the patient's lips and cheeks. Currently, there are no specialized tools for straightening and removing the ligature ends, resulting in loose ends that are easily exposed. Removing the ligatures is also time-consuming, laborious, and inefficient. Furthermore, the sliding covers of self-ligating brackets are inconvenient to open, requiring frequent tool changes. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to propose a multifunctional orthodontic manipulator to address the shortcomings of the prior art: the lack of specialized tools for straightening and removing ligature wire ends (broken ends) leads to loose wire ends that are easily exposed; the absence of specialized tools for removing ligature wires results in time-consuming, laborious, and inefficient operations; and the sliding cover of the self-ligating bracket is inconvenient to open, requiring frequent tool changes. The technical solution adopted to solve this problem is: a multifunctional orthodontic manipulator, characterized in that: the manipulator is shaped like a flat fish; a ligature wire straightener is provided at the mouth of the fish for straightening the ligature wire ends; a blunt tip is provided on one side of the tail for opening and closing the sliding cover of the self-ligating bracket; and a hook tip is provided on the other side of the tail for prying up and dislodging the ligature wire ends. The ligature wire straightener is a groove with a vertical width of 2mm and a horizontal depth of 1mm. The hook tip on the other side of the tail has a tip length of 3mm.
[0004] The beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows: Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the mouth part of the appliance is equipped with a ligature wire straightener to facilitate pressing the ligature wire end (broken end) into the gap of the orthodontic appliance, which is both convenient and secure, ensuring the ligature wire end is tightly pressed and not exposed. A blunt tip is provided on one side of the tail part to open the sliding cover of the self-ligating bracket without changing other tools. A hook tip is provided on the other side of the tail part to easily pry open and lift the ligature wire end pressed into the gap of the orthodontic appliance, facilitating the removal of the ligature wire. This utility model integrates three functions into one: ligature wire straightening and concealment, prying and lifting for removal, and opening the sliding cover of the self-ligating bracket. It is convenient and quick, allowing orthodontic operations to be performed with a single appliance, enabling multiple functions to be completed efficiently and practically.
