Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthodontic technology, specifically to an orthodontic buccal tube that facilitates archwire insertion. Background Technology

[0002] In orthodontic treatment, the buccal tube is an important component of the fixed appliance. It is usually welded to the buccal side of the molar band and is used to hold the orthodontic archwire and guide tooth movement.

[0003] The buccal tube allows for easy insertion of archwires to correct a patient's teeth. However, the process involves first fixing the buccal tube to the patient's teeth, then using a tool to hold the archwire in place. Even slight hand tremors or tool slippage can easily cause the archwire to dislodge. Furthermore, the archwire's elasticity makes it prone to springback and displacement in complex, curved shapes. Once dislodged, the angle must be readjusted and the insertion process repeated, extending the procedure time and potentially causing archwire deformation from repeated attempts. This makes it difficult for medical staff to insert the archwire into the buccal tube, hindering their work. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an orthodontic buccal tube that facilitates the insertion of archwires, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an orthodontic buccal tube for easy archwire insertion, including a base plate; a tube body is provided on the surface of the base plate, an elastic component is provided inside the tube body, a limiting block is installed at the top of the elastic component, the limiting block moves inside the tube body, and a bevel is provided on the front of the limiting block.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the limiting block is provided with a displacement groove inside the tube body, and the inner diameter of the displacement groove is the same as the diameter of the limiting block.

[0007] Preferably, fixing blocks are installed inside both sides of the tube body, and arc-shaped plates are installed on the outside of the fixing blocks.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the arc-shaped plate is provided with a groove, and the groove is arc-shaped.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing block has a protrusion on the side near the groove, and the tube body has fixing grooves on both sides.

[0010] Preferably, the tube body has a transversely extending bow wire groove inside, and the bow wire groove is flush with the lowest point of the surface of the arc-shaped plate.

[0011] Preferably, a clamping groove is vertically provided inside the tube body, and the clamping groove intersects with the bow wire groove in a cross shape.

[0012] Preferably, a traction hook is installed on one side of the top of the tube.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This utility model uses an elastic component, a limiting block, and a beveled edge in combination. By inserting the archwire into the tube, the beveled edge on the limiting block is compressed, and the lowering of the limiting block compresses the elastic component. The limiting block provides positioning and fixation during the archwire insertion process. Through the coordinated work of the elastic component and the limiting block, the archwire can be effectively limited and fixed after insertion, preventing accidental dislodgement. This makes it easier for medical staff to insert the archwire into the orthodontic buccal tube, thus facilitating the operation of medical staff.

[0015] 2. This utility model uses an arc-shaped plate, a groove, and a protrusion in combination. The arc-shaped groove on the surface of the arc-shaped plate is adapted to the shape of the archwire. During the archwire insertion process, the groove can guide the archwire to smoothly enter the tube along a specific path, reducing obstruction during insertion. When the protrusion is inserted into the fixing groove, the position of the arc-shaped plate can be fixed, so that the arc-shaped plate blocks the archwire groove and one end of the archwire, preventing the one end of the archwire from scratching the inner wall of the patient's mouth, thus facilitating the use of personnel.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments;

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 4 This application provides an orthodontic buccal tube for convenient archwire insertion; please refer to it carefully. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The base plate 1 is provided with a tube body 2 on the surface of the base plate 1. An elastic component 4 is provided inside the tube body 2. A limit block 401 is installed at the top of the elastic component 4. The limit block 401 moves inside the tube body 2. The front of the limit block 401 is provided with a bevel 402. The elastic component 4 is an elastic sheet.

[0025] Specifically, the base plate 1 serves as the mounting base for the entire orthodontic buccal tube, providing stable support for the subsequent tube body 2 and other components. When the base plate 1 is fixed to the patient's teeth, the archwire is inserted into the tube body 2, and the bevel 402 on the limiting block 401 is compressed. The downward movement of the limiting block 401 compresses the elastic component 4. The limiting block 401 provides positioning and fixation during the archwire insertion process. When the archwire is inserted into the tube body 2, the bevel 402 can guide the archwire to enter smoothly, reducing collisions and jamming between the archwire and the inner wall of the tube body 2, reducing the difficulty of insertion, and improving the smoothness and efficiency of the operation. At the same time, the elastic component 4 and the limiting block 401 work together to effectively limit and fix the archwire after insertion, preventing accidental dislodgement.

[0026] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 4 The bottom of the limiting block 401 is located inside the tube body 2 and has a fixing groove 203. The inner diameter of the fixing groove 203 is the same as the diameter of the limiting block 401.

[0027] Specifically, to facilitate the movement of the limiting block 401, when the limiting block 401 moves downward, the inner wall of the displacement groove 204 forms a radial constraint on the limiting block 401, ensuring that the limiting block 401 falls accurately into the predetermined position and avoiding archwire introduction deviation caused by lateral offset. After the archwire is introduced through the inclined side 402 and triggers the limiting block 401 to move downward, the displacement groove 204 provides stable support for the limiting block 401, preventing the limiting block 401 from shaking or shifting when the archwire is under force, thereby enhancing the locking force on the archwire, effectively reducing the risk of archwire dislodgement, and ensuring the stability of the orthodontic treatment process.

[0028] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inner sides of the tube body 2 are equipped with fixing blocks 5, and the outer sides of the fixing blocks 5 are equipped with arc-shaped plates 501. The fixing blocks 5 can be fixing bolts.

[0029] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The surface of the arc plate 501 is provided with a groove 502, which is arc-shaped.

[0030] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The fixing block 5 has a protrusion 503 on the side near the groove 502. The protrusion 503 is an elastic block. The two sides of the tube body 2 have fixing grooves 203.

[0031] Specifically, in order to guide the archwire, the position of the arc plate 501 can be fixed by the fixing block 5. The arc groove 502 on the surface of the arc plate 501 is adapted to the shape of the archwire. During the archwire insertion process, the groove 502 can guide the archwire to smoothly enter the tube body 2 along a specific path, reducing the obstruction during insertion. When the protrusion 503 is engaged with the fixing groove 203 in the tube body 2, the protrusion 503 can be inserted into the fixing groove 203, so that the arc plate 501 blocks one end of the archwire, preventing the one end of the archwire from scratching the inner wall of the patient's mouth.

[0032] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The tube body 2 has a horizontally penetrating bow wire groove 202, which is flush with the lowest point of the surface of the arc plate 501.

[0033] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The tube body 2 has a vertically penetrating clamping groove 201 inside, which intersects the bow wire groove 202 in a cross shape.

[0034] Specifically, to limit the archwire's position, the archwire groove 202 is flush with the lowest point of the curved plate 501 surface, ensuring that the archwire accurately falls into the archwire groove 202 during insertion and corresponds to the position of the curved plate 501. This ensures the archwire's precise position in the oral cavity, facilitating the application of accurate force to the teeth during orthodontic treatment and improving treatment outcomes. The vertically penetrating clamping groove 201 inside the tube 2 intersects the archwire groove 202 in a cross shape, providing additional clamping for the archwire. After the archwire is placed in the archwire groove 202, medical staff can clamp and fix the archwire vertically through the clamping groove 201, further enhancing the stability of the archwire fixation and helping to maintain the continuity and stability of orthodontic force.

[0035] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 2 A traction hook 3 is installed on one side of the top of the pipe body 2.

[0036] Specifically, in order to adjust the direction and force of traction on the teeth, the traction hook 3 provides a stable connection point for the traction rubber band or traction line, allowing the orthodontist to precisely control the direction and force of traction through the traction hook 3, thereby effectively guiding the teeth to move in the expected direction. By connecting the traction hook 3 to the tube body 2, the orthodontic force generated by the traction rubber band can be accurately transmitted to the teeth.

[0037] Working principle: When the base plate 1 is fixed to the patient's teeth, the archwire is then inserted into the archwire groove 202 inside the tube 2. The inclined edge 402 on the limiting block 401 is compressed, and the limiting block 401 moves downward, causing the elastic component 4 to be compressed. Through the coordinated work of the elastic component 4 and the limiting block 401, the archwire can be effectively limited and fixed after insertion, preventing accidental dislodgement. After the archwire is placed in the archwire groove 202, medical staff can operate and clamp the archwire vertically through the clamping groove 201. Finally, the traction rubber band is put on the traction hook 3, so that the orthodontist can accurately control the direction and force of traction through the traction hook 3, effectively guiding the teeth to move in the expected direction.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications and equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
