Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthodontic technology, specifically to a dental appliance with a flat guide structure. Background Technology

[0002] Orthodontic appliances are medical devices used to correct misaligned teeth or occlusal problems. Functional components can be added to appliances to treat other dental issues. For example, for patients with deep overbite, dentists can install guide structures on the appliance for treatment. These guide structures can depress the anterior teeth and elevate the posterior teeth, thereby opening the bite. Existing guide structures are usually separate units. Since these structures need to withstand occlusal forces over a long period, separate guide structures are prone to cracking with the appliance, posing a risk of damage. Utility Model Content

[0003] The summary section of this application is intended to provide a brief overview of the concepts, which will be described in detail in the detailed description section below. This summary section is not intended to identify key or essential features of the claimed technical solutions, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed technical solutions.

[0004] To address the technical problems mentioned in the background section above, some embodiments of this application provide a dental appliance with a guide structure, including an upper appliance, a guide mechanism, and an upper tooth correction mechanism; the upper tooth correction mechanism includes canine braces, anterior incisor braces, lateral incisor braces, and molar braces; the canine braces are fixedly mounted on the upper appliance; the anterior incisor braces are fixedly mounted on the upper appliance; the lateral incisor braces are fixedly mounted on the upper appliance; and the molar braces are fixedly mounted on the upper appliance.

[0005] Specifically, the guide orthodontic mechanism includes a guide orthodontic block.

[0006] Specifically, the guide block includes a guide surface and a support surface; the guide surface is horizontally positioned; and the support surface is vertically positioned.

[0007] Specifically, the flat guide orthodontic block is fixedly connected to the canine braces, the anterior incisor braces, and the lateral incisor braces.

[0008] Specifically, the flat guide orthodontic block is misaligned with the canine aligner, the anterior incisor aligner, and the lateral incisor aligner.

[0009] Specifically, the guide block is U-shaped.

[0010] Specifically, the molar crown is symmetrically provided with jaw pads.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] (1) Some existing orthodontic blocks are set separately on the anterior incisors, lateral incisors and canines. For patients with uneven tooth height, such separate orthodontic blocks will only have force on some of the blocks, and the blocks will transfer the force to the aligners, resulting in uneven force on different parts of the aligners. Ultimately, this leads to a decrease in the orthodontic effect of the aligners and the orthodontic effect of the guide. The guide orthodontic block in this application is a continuous and complete orthodontic block with a flat surface. Even if the patient's teeth are uneven, the guide orthodontic block can still distribute the force to the surfaces in contact with each aligner after being subjected to force, making the force on the aligners more even and enhancing the orthodontic effect.

[0013] (2) When the mouth is closed, the mandibular anterior teeth are in contact with the guide block, while the mandibular posterior teeth cannot be in contact with the maxillary posterior teeth due to their height. During long-term orthodontic treatment, the mandibular anterior teeth will be lowered due to long-term force, while the mandibular posterior teeth will be raised due to no pressure, thus achieving the function of lowering the mandibular anterior teeth and raising the posterior teeth.

[0014] (3) The flat guide orthodontic block is integrally formed with the upper orthodontic appliance and the upper teeth orthodontic mechanism. During the manufacturing process, the patient's digital tooth model is reconstructed by scanning. Then, the flat guide orthodontic block is modeled and manufactured in a personalized manner according to the patient's specific condition of deep overbite and treatment goals. The personalized manufacturing process makes the orthodontic appliance and the flat guide orthodontic block more targeted and enhances the orthodontic effect. At the same time, the integral molding process can strengthen the connection between the flat guide orthodontic block and the orthodontic appliance and prevent the flat guide orthodontic block from falling off during the orthodontic treatment.

[0024] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-2 As shown, the present invention discloses a dental appliance with a flat guide structure, comprising an upper appliance 1, a flat guide orthodontic mechanism 2, and an upper tooth orthodontic mechanism 3. The upper tooth orthodontic mechanism includes canine braces 31, anterior incisor braces 32, lateral incisor braces 33, and molar braces 34. The canine braces are fixedly mounted on the upper appliance. The anterior incisor braces are fixedly mounted on the upper appliance. The lateral incisor braces are fixedly mounted on the upper appliance. The molar braces are fixedly mounted on the upper appliance. The upper appliance, also known as a crown, is worn over the gums. The upper tooth orthodontic mechanism is used to correct malocclusion. The flat guide orthodontic mechanism is used to correct deep overbite and can also depress the mandibular anterior teeth and elevate the posterior teeth.

[0026] Specifically, the flat guide orthodontic mechanism includes a flat guide orthodontic block 21. The flat guide orthodontic block is integrally formed with the upper orthodontic appliance and the upper dental orthodontic mechanism. During the manufacturing process, the patient's digital tooth model is reconstructed by scanning. Then, the flat guide orthodontic block is personalized and manufactured according to the patient's specific condition of deep overbite and treatment goals. Personalized manufacturing makes the orthodontic appliance and the flat guide orthodontic block more targeted and enhances the orthodontic effect. At the same time, the integral molding process can strengthen the connection between the flat guide orthodontic block and the orthodontic appliance and prevent the flat guide orthodontic block from falling off during treatment.

[0027] Specifically, the guide orthodontic block includes a guide orthodontic surface 211 and a guide support surface 212; the guide orthodontic surface is horizontally positioned; the guide support surface is vertically positioned; when the mouth is closed, the guide orthodontic surface contacts the lower incisors, lateral incisors, and canines, preventing the upper incisors, lateral incisors, and canines from covering the front of the lower incisors, lateral incisors, and canines, thus preventing deep overbite; during occlusion, the occlusal force is directly applied to the guide orthodontic block and transmitted to each brace; some existing orthodontic blocks are individually positioned on the incisors, lateral incisors, and canines, which can lead to only one orthodontic block being used by patients with uneven tooth height. When some orthodontic blocks are subjected to force, the blocks transmit this force to the aligners, leading to uneven force distribution across the aligners and ultimately reducing the effectiveness of the orthodontic treatment. The flat guide orthodontic block used in this practical application is a continuous and complete orthodontic block with a flat surface. Even if the patient's teeth are uneven in height, the flat guide orthodontic block can still distribute the force received to the surfaces in contact with each aligner after being subjected to force, making the force distribution on the aligners more even. When the mouth is closed, the mandibular anterior teeth are in contact with the flat guide orthodontic block, while the mandibular posterior teeth cannot contact the maxillary posterior teeth due to their height. During long-term treatment, the mandibular anterior teeth will be lowered due to long-term force, while the mandibular posterior teeth will be raised due to the lack of pressure.

[0028] Specifically, the flat guide orthodontic block is fixedly connected to the canine braces, the anterior incisor braces, and the lateral incisor braces.

[0029] Specifically, the flat guide orthodontic block is misaligned with the canine aligner, the anterior incisor aligner, and the lateral incisor aligner.

[0030] Specifically, the guide block is U-shaped; the U-shaped guide block can make way for the tongue.

[0031] Specifically, the molar brace is symmetrically provided with occlusal pads 4; the occlusal pads are symmetrically provided on the molar brace and are used to correct the occlusal relationship between the maxilla and mandible.

[0032] The above description is merely a selection of preferred embodiments of this disclosure and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in the embodiments of this disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the above-described inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in the embodiments of this disclosure.
