[0036] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] See Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 Specific embodiment 1: An occlusal reconstruction brace with a pressure post and a spring slot, comprising a first brace and a second brace that cooperate with each other. The first brace is provided with a pressure post 1 protruding towards the second brace. The second brace has a clearance hole 6 for avoiding the pressure post 1, and the clearance hole 6 is used to elongate tooth A (see Figure 4 (The text appears to be a fragmented and incomplete sentence, possibly due to OCR errors. A more coherent translation would require the full context.) Figure 4 The pressure column 1 and the spring slot 2 are combined to generate a straightening force on the tilted teeth on both sides of the missing tooth through the elastic force of the spring, and to depress the elongated tooth at the missing tooth site by applying longitudinal force through the pressure column 1.

[0038] The first brace has an exposed opening on its labial side, directly opposite the spring retainer slot 2. This facilitates spring assembly. A transparent baffle is detachably connected to the exposed opening.
