AI Technical Summary
Existing braces often fail to properly position clasps when the crowns are not fully erupted or are only shortly erupted, rendering the expander and traction device unusable. This results in poor applicability, and there is a lack of braces structures that integrate both expander and traction functions.
Design a dental brace with arch expansion and forward traction. By setting an arch expansion structure and traction connector on the brace base, the functions of arch expansion and forward traction are integrated. The hollow structure and serpentine bending structure are used for force buffering. A limiting buckle or tubular structure is used for forward traction. The length is adjusted by elastic traction components to achieve stable traction.
It integrates arch expansion and anterior traction functions into the braces, improving their applicability, especially for patients with incomplete or short tooth eruption, ensuring stable wearing and effective use of the braces.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dental technology, specifically to dental braces. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, arch expander retractors generally use clasps for retention. The clasps hold the crown labially to achieve retention. However, when the patient's crown is not fully erupted or is short, the crown height is insufficient, making it difficult for the clasps to be positioned and hold the crown, thus preventing the patient from wearing and using the arch expander retractor. This results in poor applicability of the arch expander retractor.
[0003] Chinese patent CN106667594A discloses a dental arch expander and its operating method. This patent uses a detachable bracket to allow the dental arch expander to adapt to the required expansion distance between the front and back of the dental arch. However, this device cannot integrate arch expansion and anterior traction functions.
[0004] Currently, there is a lack of braces structures that can integrate both arch expansion and anterior traction. Utility Model Content

[0024] Alternatively, the elastic traction element is a rubber band, which includes elastic loops connected sequentially along its length for passing through the traction connector.
[0025] The rubber band length can be adjusted so that any one of the elastic rings can be fixed to the traction connector.
[0026] Alternatively, the elastic tension member is a metal wire, which includes, along its length, a first insertion portion for inserting into the first limiting tube, a meandering elastic bending portion, and a second insertion portion for inserting into a tubular structure, all connected in sequence.

[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0036] See Figure 1Specific Embodiment 1: A dental brace with arch expansion and anterior traction, comprising a brace base, characterized in that the brace base comprises a first molar covering portion 1, a first transition connecting portion 4, a central incisor covering portion 2, a second transition connecting portion 5, and a second molar covering portion 3 connected in sequence; the first transition connecting portion 4 and the second transition connecting portion 5 are provided with hollow structures; the first molar covering portion 1 and the second molar covering portion 3 are connected by an arch expansion structure 12, the middle part of the arch expansion structure 12 being a meandering bent structure; traction connectors for anterior traction are fixed on the labial side of the first molar covering portion 1 and the labial side of the second molar covering portion 3, the traction connectors being a limiting buckle 7 or a tubular structure 6. This utility model, by optimizing the structure of the dental brace, achieves the arch expansion function through the arch expansion structure 12 and the anterior traction function through the traction connectors, thereby integrating arch expansion and anterior traction functions into the dental brace.
[0037] Both the first transition connection 4 and the second transition connection 5 include an inner connecting strip located on the tongue side and an outer connecting strip located on the lip side, and both the inner and outer connecting strips are provided with a serpentine bending structure. This facilitates the buffering of forces during bow expansion and forward traction.

This facilitates forward traction. Vertically arranged notches are opened on the sides of the first limiting tubes 8 and the tubular structures 6 away from each other, and the notches are used to embed the elastic traction members.
[0039] The elastic traction element is a rubber band 10, which includes an elastic connecting strip with loops at both ends for passing through the traction connector. Alternatively, the elastic traction element is a rubber band 10, which includes elastic rings sequentially connected along its length for passing through the traction connector. This allows any one of the elastic rings to be fixed to the traction connector by adjusting the length of the rubber band 10.

This facilitates bending the metal wire through the exposed opening, thus facilitating the limiting of the metal wire.

This facilitates forward traction.
