Description

A novel self-ligating zirconia bracket for orthodontic use Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a novel self-locking zirconia bracket for orthodontic use. Background Technology

[0002] Teeth are an important part of the human body, and dental health affects people's lives. Especially for those who care about their appearance, a beautiful and straight set of teeth can enhance their appearance, improve their temperament and self-confidence. However, teeth are affected by a variety of factors during their growth, which can cause them to be misaligned and crooked.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, people typically wear braces for extended periods to correct tooth alignment. During brace installation, adjustments to the archwire and brackets create corrective force, adjusting the teeth's posture within the space and ultimately achieving proper alignment. The archwire needs to be secured during installation to prevent separation. Therefore, a cover plate is usually installed on the bracket to limit the archwire's movement. However, the self-ligating mechanism of the cover plate relies on changing the bending direction of the elastic post to create the supporting force for self-ligating. Prolonged bending of the elastic post can easily lead to… Excessive fatigue leads to a decrease in support, causing the cover plates to loosen and lose their self-ligating ability. Loosening and detachment of the cover plates result in separation of the archwire and brackets, preventing them from exerting corrective force on the teeth and hindering the achievement of the desired orthodontic effect. This impacts the implementation of normal orthodontic treatment plans. Furthermore, existing brackets lack sufficient antioxidant and corrosion-resistant capabilities, making them prone to detachment and loss of corrective force after a certain period of wear, thus affecting the progress of orthodontic treatment. Replacement also increases costs. Therefore, there is a need to develop a new type of self-ligating zirconia bracket for orthodontic treatment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a new type of self-ligating zirconia bracket for orthodontic treatment that is easy to use and install, has strong anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion capabilities, facilitates archwire winding, and makes it easy for the bracket to complete the orthodontic treatment. It is practical and widely used.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The cover plate is mounted on the bracket body, and the elastic post is disposed between the bracket body and the cover plate. The two ends of the elastic post are inserted into the bracket body and the cover plate, respectively, and the elastic post limits the position of the cover plate, allowing the cover plate to slide on the bracket body. The bracket body and the cover plate are made of zirconia material. One end of the bracket body is provided with a traction hook, which is an integral structure with the bracket body. The bracket body is provided with a bracket slot, and the two sides of the bracket slot are perpendicular to the bottom of the bracket slot.

[0011] Preferably, one side of the bracket body is provided with a mesh bottom, the mesh bottom has an arc-shaped surface structure, and the mesh bottom is provided with a boss structure; the boss structure facilitates the application of adhesive and increases the bonding strength between the bracket and the mesh bottom, while the arc-shaped surface structure increases the fit between the bracket and the teeth.

[0012] Preferably, one side of the traction hook is a planar structure and the other side is a spherical structure, and the plane of the planar structure is parallel to the plane of the bottom of the chute.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it is easy to use and install. The zirconium oxide material enhances the anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion ability of the bracket, thus improving its service life. At the same time, it facilitates the winding of the archwire, making it easier for the bracket to complete the orthodontic treatment. It can also complete the self-locking operation of the cover plate, making it practical and widely applicable. Attached Figure Description
