Detailed Implementation

[0039] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0040] The specific embodiments described below are merely preferred embodiments of this application, and the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make modifications or variations based on the principles, concepts, and spirit of this application, and the resulting technical solutions should all be covered within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] like Figure 1-12As shown, the orthodontic floss box includes a box assembly, a top cover 3, a blade 5, and a cored orthodontic floss roll 6. The overall shape of the orthodontic floss box is rectangular. The box assembly includes a front box 1 and a rear box 2. The front box 1 is made of plastic and is manufactured using injection molding. The upper part of the outer side of the front box 1 has a buckle 1-1 and a recess 1-2, with the recess 1-2 located below the buckle 1-1. The inner side of the front box 1 has a front fixing post 1-3 and a front pin 1-4, with the front fixing post 1-3 having an insertion hole 1-3-1. The rear box 2 is also made of plastic and is manufactured using injection molding. The inner side of the rear box 2 has a rear fixing post 2-1, a rear pin 2-2, and a floss roll fixing conical post 2-3. The rear fixing post 2-1 has an insertion hole 2-1-1, and the periphery of the floss roll fixing conical post 2-3 has four positioning strips 2-3-1. When assembling the front box 1 and the rear box 2, the front pin 1-4 is inserted into the insertion hole 2-1-1 of the rear fixing post 2-1, and the rear pin 2-2 is inserted into the insertion hole 1-3-1 of the front fixing post 1-3, thus connecting the front box 1 and the rear box 2 together to form the box assembly. The top cover 3 is made of plastic and is integrally molded with the top of the rear box 2 through injection molding. The connection between the top cover 3 and the top of the rear box 2 is a folding part 3-1. The front edge of the top cover 3 has a ridge 3-2, and the front of the top cover 3 has a slot. The figure shows the top cover 3 in the closed state, with the buckle 1-1 of the front box 1 embedded in the slot of the top cover 3. When you pry the ridge 3-2 upwards with your finger, the top cover 3 can be flipped upwards, thus opening the top cover 3. A recess 1-2 is provided on the upper part of the front box 1 to facilitate prying the ridge 3-2 with your finger. Figure 7 and 12 As shown, the top of the rear box 2 has a through hole 4 for threading. The blade 5 is connected to the top of the rear box 2. The blade 5 is arranged at an angle on the top of the rear box 2, that is, there is a certain angle between the blade 5 and the top of the rear box 2. The blade 5 has a clamping part 5-1 and a cutting part 5-2. The blade 5 can only be exposed when the top cover 3 is open.

[0042] like Figure 13 , 14 As shown, the cored orthodontic floss roll 6 includes orthodontic floss 6-1 and a cylindrical core 6-2. The orthodontic floss 6-1 is wound around the cylindrical core 6-2 to form a roll. The cylindrical core 6-2 is made of plastic. The cored orthodontic floss roll 6 is located inside the housing assembly. The cylindrical core 6-2 is fitted onto the floss roll fixing conical post 2-3 inside the rear housing 2. The inner wall of the cylindrical core 6-2 is in contact with four positioning strips 2-3-1. The cylindrical core 6-2 can rotate, meaning the entire cored orthodontic floss roll 6 can rotate.

[0043] Orthodontic floss 6-1 is led out from threading hole 4.

[0044] When using the above-mentioned floss box, open the top cover 3, and pull the orthodontic floss 6-1 that is led out from the threading hole 4 with your finger. The cored orthodontic floss roll 6 will rotate. After pulling out the required length of orthodontic floss 6-1, refer to... Figure 15 Then, wrap the orthodontic floss 6-1 around the blade 5, and then pull it slightly. The tangential part 5-2 of the blade will cut the orthodontic floss, thus obtaining the required length of orthodontic floss. The orthodontic floss at the clamping part 5-1 is clamped and positioned, as shown. Figure 16 As shown, this makes it convenient to use next time; finally, close the top cover 3.

[0045] like Figure 17 As shown, the cored orthodontic floss roll 6 is unrolled to a certain length. It can be seen that this unrolled portion consists of three sections: the initial traction section 6-1-1, the cleaning section 6-1-2, and the interstitial traction section 6-1-3. When extracting the desired length from the floss box, the interstitial traction section 6-1-3 is wrapped around the blade 5, and then slightly pulled. The tangential part 5-2 of the blade cuts the interstitial traction section 6-1-3, thus obtaining floss composed of the initial traction section 6-1-1, the cleaning section 6-1-2, and a portion of the interstitial traction section 6-1-3 (e.g.,...). Figure 18 (As shown).

[0046] like Figure 19 As shown, the entire orthodontic floss 6-1 wound around the cylindrical core 6-2 includes several cleaning sections 6-1-2, with an interval traction section 6-1-3 between two adjacent cleaning sections 6-1-2, and the frontmost part is the first traction section 6-1-1.

[0047] The following describes the fabrication process of the entire orthodontic floss 6-1: Step (1), prepare a multi-strand nylon filament. The characteristics of multi-strand nylon filament are high elasticity and good tensile strength. Step (2), immerse the entire multi-strand nylon filament in a setting solution, take it out, and then dry it to set and reinforce the multi-strand nylon filament. Common setting solutions on the market can be used. Setting and reinforcement can make the original thread slightly harder and the diameter smaller. The diameter of the multi-strand nylon filament after setting and reinforcement is 0.5mm to 3mm. Step (3), wrap one end of the multi-strand nylon filament with glue (one end of the multi-strand nylon filament is covered with glue), thus forming the first traction section 6-1-1. The diameter of the part after being wrapped with glue is smaller and the hardness is increased (that is, the diameter of the first traction section 6-1-1 is smaller and the hardness is increased). The diameter of the first traction section 6-1-1 is 0.25mm to 0.75mm. Step (4): Apply adhesive to a point a certain distance backward from the first traction section 6-1-1 to form an intermittent traction section 6-1-3. The diameter of the intermittent traction section 6-1-3 is 0.25mm to 0.75mm. The uncoated portion forms the first clean section 6-1-2 (the diameter of the clean section 6-1-2 is 0.5mm to 3mm). Step (4): Apply adhesive to a point a certain distance backward from the intermittent traction section 6-1-3 to form the second intermittent traction section, which in turn forms the second clean section. Repeating this process creates several clean sections, with intermittent traction sections between adjacent clean sections.

[0048] The coating process can be carried out by applying adhesive by spraying or by spraying adhesive to form an adhesive layer covering multiple strands of nylon filaments.

[0049] Use such as Figure 18 The procedure for cutting dental floss as shown is as follows: For patients wearing orthodontic appliances, pinch the first traction segment 6-1-1 with your fingers and pass it through the gap between the bracket and the tooth (or the gap between the archwire and the tooth). This places the cleaning segment 6-1-2 in the gap between the bracket and the tooth (or the gap between the archwire and the tooth). Then, pinch the intervening traction segment 6-1-3 with the fingers of your other hand and pull back and forth with both hands, causing the cleaning segment 6-1-2 to rub back and forth in the gap, effectively cleaning it. Because the first traction segment 6-1-1 is relatively stiff, it can easily pass through the gap, making the operation convenient and flexible. As the cleaning segment 6-1-2 rubs repeatedly in the gap, it gradually becomes fluffy, returning to its pre-set state. The fluffy, larger diameter cleaning segment 6-1-2 provides better cleaning results. It should be noted that the first traction segment 6-1-1 can be skipped from passing through the gap between the bracket and the tooth; instead, the interval traction segment 6-1-3 can be used to pass through the gap between the bracket and the tooth.

[0050] After using a section of floss, simply pull it out of the floss box and cut off another section with a blade to continue cleaning your teeth. It's convenient and flexible to use. Orthodontic floss is stored in rolls in the floss box, ensuring good hygiene. The floss box is easy to carry and store. The multi-strand nylon filaments, after being shaped, are easier to wind around the core 6-2 to form a roll. Furthermore, during the entire rotation of the cored orthodontic floss roll 6, as the orthodontic floss 6-1 is pulled out from the threading hole 4, the floss is less likely to unravel, maintaining a stable roll shape.

[0051] It should be noted that blade 5 is usually made of metal. A nano-coating can be applied to blade 5 for disinfection and sterilization.

[0052] It should be noted that the number of positioning bars 2-3-1 is not limited to four; you can also set two, three, four, five or more.

[0053] It should be noted that the preferred material for multi-strand nylon filaments is nylon 66.

[0054] It should be noted that the setting step of immersing the entire multi-strand nylon filament in the setting solution and then taking it out and drying it is a preferred step, but not a necessary step, so this setting step can be omitted.

[0055] It should be noted that the top cover 3, the box body 1, and the rear box body 2 can be transparent.

[0056] The length of the cleaning section 6-1-2 can be 10cm to 50cm.
