[0002] Orthodontics is the process of correcting teeth and correcting malocclusion. The orthodontic process is essentially a collaborative effort between the dentist and the patient to align misaligned teeth using brackets. Orthodontics primarily studies the etiology and mechanisms of malocclusion, its diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Orthodontic treatment mainly uses various orthodontic appliances to adjust the coordination between facial bones, teeth, and the nerves and muscles of the maxillofacial region. In other words, it corrects abnormal relationships between the upper and lower jawbones, between the upper and lower teeth, between the teeth and the jawbone, and between the nerves and muscles connecting them.

[0003] In existing technologies, the archwire groove size on traditional buccal tubes is fixed and can only accommodate archwires of a specific diameter. This results in a mismatch between the different diameter archwires used at different stages of treatment, affecting the corrective force.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a buccal tube for orthodontic treatment. Utility Model Content

[0026] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a buccal tube for orthodontic use, comprising a base plate 1 and a main body 2. The main body 2 is integrally formed with the base plate 1. A buccal tube mechanism is provided on the main body 2, the buccal tube mechanism comprising: an adjustment component, including an archwire groove 3 on the main body 2, a pair of sliding grooves 4 on the inner wall of the archwire groove 3, a guide rod 5 fixedly connected between the opposite walls of the pair of sliding grooves 4, a first rectangular block 6 slidably connected to the guide rod 5, a first trapezoidal block 7 fixedly connected to the side wall of the pair of first rectangular blocks 6, and the first trapezoidal block 7 located within the archwire groove 3, and an adjustment component for adjusting the position of the first trapezoidal block 7 provided within the archwire groove 3; and a traction hook assembly, provided on the main body 2 for assisting in the correction of teeth.

[0028] During operation, the size of the archwire slot 3 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the trapezoidal block using the set adjustment components. This solves the problem in the existing technology where the size of the archwire slot 3 on the traditional buccal tube is fixed and can only accommodate archwires of a specific diameter. This results in mismatch between archwires of different diameters used in different stages of orthodontic treatment, affecting the orthodontic force.

[0029] The adjustment assembly includes a rectangular groove 8 opened on the wall of the bow wire groove 3, a pair of second rectangular blocks 9 slidably connected in the rectangular groove 8, and a second trapezoidal block 10 fixed to the side wall of the pair of second rectangular blocks 9.

[0030] The inclined surface of the second trapezoidal block 10 fits into the inclined surface of the first trapezoidal block 7, and the second trapezoidal block 10 is located in the bow wire groove 3.

[0031] A threaded rod 11 is rotatably connected between the opposite sidewalls of the rectangular groove 8, and one end of the threaded rod 11 passes through the main body 2. A set of first locking grooves 12 are provided on the sidewall of the main body 2.

[0032] A circular groove 13 is provided at one end of the threaded rod 11. A circular rod 14 is fixed to the bottom of the circular groove 13 by a first spring. A knob 15 is fixed to one end of the circular rod 14. A set of first locking blocks 16 is fixed to the knob 15 near the side wall of the main body 2.

[0033] During operation, by pulling the knob 15, a set of first locking blocks 16 separates from the first locking groove 12, allowing the threaded rod 11 to rotate. Rotating the knob 15 causes the threaded rod 11 to rotate, which in turn moves a pair of second rectangular blocks 9. The inclined surfaces of the second trapezoidal block 10 and the first trapezoidal block 7 are pressed together, allowing the first trapezoidal block 7 to move and change the size of the bow wire groove 3.

[0034] The towing hook assembly includes a square groove 17 on the side wall of the main body 2. A square block 18 is detachably connected to the square groove 17 by bolts. A circular cylinder 19 is fixed to the side wall of the square block 18. A circular block 20 is fixed to the side wall of the square block 18 by a second spring, and the center block is located inside the circular cylinder 19.

[0035] The side wall of the circular block 20 is rotatably connected to the traction hook body 21. The circular cylinder 19 is slidably connected to the traction hook body 21. A fixing block 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the traction hook body 21 located inside the circular cylinder 19. A set of second locking blocks 23 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing block 22. A set of second locking grooves 24 are provided on one end of the circular cylinder 19 away from the square block 18.

[0036] During operation, pressing the traction hook body 21 allows a set of second locking blocks 23 on the fixing block 22 to separate from the second locking slot 24, enabling the operator to rotate the traction hook body 21 to adjust the angle and precisely control the direction of the traction force. This allows orthodontists to apply the most appropriate traction force according to the patient's specific condition and treatment plan, thereby achieving more precise tooth movement. The square block 18 is fixed in the square slot 17 with bolts, allowing for replacement if the traction hook body 21 is damaged.

[0037] The side of the base plate 1 away from the main body 2 is curved, and a set of anti-slip grooves are provided on the curved surface.

[0038] During operation, the curved surface of the base plate 1 away from the main body 2 allows the base plate 1 to fit more closely to the surface of the teeth. A set of anti-slip grooves are provided on the curved surface, which allows the doctor to apply adhesive to improve the stability.

[0039] Working principle: The size of the archwire slot 3 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the trapezoidal block through the set adjustment component. This solves the problem in the existing technology where the size of the archwire slot 3 on the traditional buccal tube is fixed and can only accommodate archwires of a specific diameter. This results in mismatch between archwires of different diameters used in different stages of orthodontic treatment, which affects the orthodontic force.

[0040] By pulling the knob 15, a set of first locking blocks 16 separates from the first locking groove 12, allowing the threaded rod 11 to rotate. Rotating the knob 15 causes the threaded rod 11 to rotate, which in turn moves a pair of second rectangular blocks 9. The inclined surfaces of the second trapezoidal block 10 and the first trapezoidal block 7 are pressed together, allowing the first trapezoidal block 7 to move and change the size of the bow wire groove 3.

[0041] By pressing the traction hook body 21, a set of second locking blocks 23 on the fixing block 22 can be separated from the second locking slot 24, allowing the staff to rotate the traction hook body 21 to adjust the angle and precisely control the direction of the traction force. This allows the orthodontist to apply the most appropriate traction force according to the patient's specific situation and treatment plan, thereby achieving more precise tooth movement. The square block 18 is fixed in the square slot 17 by bolts, so that it can be replaced when the traction hook body 21 is damaged.

[0042] The base plate 1 has an arc-shaped surface on the side away from the main body 2, which allows the base plate 1 to fit the surface of the tooth better. A set of anti-slip grooves are provided on the arc-shaped surface, which allows the doctor to apply adhesive to improve the stability.
