Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of orthodontic technology, specifically to a novel long-arm positive axis spring for adjusting the canine axis inclination. Background Technology

[0002] During orthodontic treatment, some patients initially have distally tilted canines. This can easily lead to problems such as increased overbite, mesial tilt of posterior teeth, and open bite in the premolar segment during alignment and leveling, especially in cases requiring tooth extraction. Therefore, axial springs are commonly used clinically to correct the tilt of the canines.

[0003] The existing positive axis spring design cannot flexibly control the magnitude of the force during clinical operation. Therefore, only thinner steel wires can be used in clinical practice to apply a smaller force. This results in a long positive axis cycle and the need to be bent again when applying force. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this application is to provide a novel long-arm positive shaft spring for adjusting the inclination of the canine shaft, which aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

The two ends of the connecting arm are connected to the force-applying arm and the sliding arm respectively through the elastic storage part. A hook is provided at the end of the sliding arm away from the elastic storage part.

[0007] Optionally, the force-applying arm and the sliding arm are connected to the connecting arm at an obtuse angle.

[0008] Optionally, the elastic energy storage part is a bent spiral structure.

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0018] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0019] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0020] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this application involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the meaning of "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions; for example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0021] See attached document Figure 1 This application provides a novel long-arm positive shaft spring for adjusting the inclination of a canine shaft, including a connecting arm 2, a force-applying arm 1, a sliding arm 3, and an elastic storage part 4. The force-applying arm 1 and the sliding arm 3 are located at both ends of the connecting arm 2, and the force-applying arm 1 and the sliding arm 3 are each connected to the connecting arm 2 through an elastic storage part 4. The axis of the force-applying arm 1 and the axis of the sliding arm 3 are both at an obtuse angle to the axis of the connecting arm 2. A hook 5 is provided at the end of the sliding arm 3 away from the elastic storage part 4.

[0022] In this embodiment, the entire long arm positive axis spring is formed by bending a stainless steel wire with a diameter of 0.016 inches, and the elastic storage part 4 is formed by bending a stainless steel wire into a spiral structure, with one spaced on each side at both ends of the connecting arm 2.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a novel long-arm positive axis spring for adjusting canine axial inclination is provided. It is suitable for patients whose canines require adjustment of mesiodistal axial inclination during orthodontic treatment and whose intraorally bonded canine self-ligating brackets have built-in vertical tube devices. In use, the force-applying arm 1 is inserted into the vertical tube of the self-ligating bracket 6. The end of the force-applying arm 1 is fixed to the vertical tube with fluid resin to prevent it from slipping out. The inclination direction of the force-applying arm 1 corresponds to the inclination direction of the positive axis of the canine crown. Simultaneously, the connecting arm 2 extends distally across a tooth and hooks onto the main archwire 7 of the self-ligating bracket 6 via a hook 5 on the sliding arm 3. The position of the hook 5 is adjusted by the bending angle of the force-applying arm 1 and the movement of the sliding arm 3 along the mesiodistal axis on the main archwire 7. This causes different deformations in the elastic storage part 4 to adjust the magnitude of the applied force. The hook 5 is fixed to the main archwire 7 using fluid resin. Utilizing the elasticity of the wire, force is applied to the tooth to tilt it, thereby adjusting the canine axial inclination. It should be noted that the self-ligating bracket 6 is a commonly used orthodontic appliance, and its structure will not be described in detail here.

[0024] As can be seen, the novel long-arm positive axis spring for adjusting the canine axis inclination provided in this application embodiment effectively solves the shortcomings of traditional positive axis springs that cannot flexibly control the magnitude of force. Moreover, the magnitude and direction of the applied force of this positive axis spring are controllable, which can make teeth efficiently aligned while taking into account comfort. The orthodontic materials are easy to obtain, the manufacturing process is simple, and it can be widely promoted and used.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
