Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dental technology, specifically to dental braces. Background Technology

[0002] Invisible braces, also known as clear aligners or invisible orthodontic appliances, are a series of continuous orthodontic devices that achieve teeth straightening through gradual, small-scale tooth movement. Invisible braces are aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, and facilitate oral hygiene. Furthermore, the systematization, scientific approach, and personalized mass production of these appliances have enabled large-scale adoption, benefiting a wider range of patients.

[0003] Current invisible braces do not have functional accessories, making it impossible to combine them with traction accessories such as traction hooks or archwires.

[0004] Chinese patent CN206239538U discloses an alignment tube for assisting in orthodontic treatment. The alignment tube is used to pass through the archwire, but a portion needs to be cut off from the braces to avoid obstructing its installation. In this device, the alignment tube cannot be integrally molded with the braces, making rapid installation difficult. Utility Model Content
