Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthodontics, specifically to an orthodontic system for adjusting the relationship between anterior teeth in the later stages of treatment. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of orthodontic technology, personalized lingual orthodontics is gaining popularity among more and more patients. Unlike conventional fixed orthodontics, personalized lingual orthodontics involves the dentist designing a personalized treatment plan for each patient based on their dental condition in the early stages of treatment. The bracket structure is also personalized, with the bottom surface of the bracket matching and fitting the patient's tooth surface perfectly. Furthermore, the archwire and other orthodontic accessories in the treatment system, such as the auxiliary arch tube, transpalatal bar, and guide plate, are all designed specifically for the patient's dental condition.

[0003] An auxiliary arch tube is an orthodontic accessory used to assist in the alignment of anterior teeth, often applied in the later stages of orthodontic treatment. In the later stages of treatment, to achieve further fine-tuning, alignment, or control of torque and tilt, an auxiliary arch tube is usually installed on the bracket. In current technology, the installation of the auxiliary arch tube typically relies on the bracket itself. This involves designing an auxiliary arch tube mounting hole through both ends in the bracket base. After the bracket base is bonded to the teeth, the auxiliary arch tube is not installed initially; it is inserted into the bracket later in the treatment process. The adjusting force output by the auxiliary arch tube is applied to the teeth through the bracket.

[0004] In personalized orthodontic treatment, the bracket structure design must be completed before treatment begins. This means that whether or not an auxiliary arch tube is needed must be confirmed in the early stages of treatment. However, in actual clinical treatment, the treatment progress may not match the doctor's expectations. This is due to factors such as differences between the actual force expression of the orthodontic system and theoretical expectations, and individual errors among different patients, which are difficult to avoid. This creates a potential problem: clinically, when formulating the treatment plan in the early stages, doctors often anticipate that there will be no need to align the anterior teeth in the later stages of treatment and therefore no need to add an auxiliary arch tube. As a result, no space was reserved for the installation of the auxiliary arch tube during the bracket structure design stage, so as to minimize the bracket thickness, make the bracket structure simpler, and reduce the patient's foreign body sensation in the mouth. However, in the later stages of treatment, due to deviations in the treatment progress, some cases develop anterior incisal edge malocclusion, creating a need to align the anterior teeth. But since the bracket structure is already fixed, it is impossible to add an auxiliary arch tube temporarily at this time, making it difficult to correct and resulting in imprecise treatment results. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an orthodontic system that can adjust the relationship between the anterior teeth in the later stage of orthodontic treatment, which can solve the problem that the anterior teeth cannot be temporarily adjusted in the later stage of personalized lingual orthodontic treatment.

[0006] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0007] An orthodontic system for adjusting anterior tooth relationships in the later stages of treatment includes: a bracket, comprising a bracket base and a body; the lower surface of the bracket base matches the morphology of the patient's tooth surface for bonding to the patient's tooth surface; the bracket does not contain mounting holes for inserting auxiliary arch tubes; a plurality of auxiliary arch tube base plates, each base plate having an auxiliary arch tube mounting hole, the two ends of which are through-holes for inserting auxiliary arch tubes; the lower surface of each auxiliary arch tube base plate is an adhesive surface, which is simultaneously bonded and fixed to the tooth surface of the patient's anterior segment and the bracket base plate; and auxiliary arch tubes, which are inserted into the auxiliary arch tube mounting holes of each of the auxiliary arch tube base plates.

[0008] Furthermore, the lower part of the bonding surface of the auxiliary arch tube base plate has a concave structure for fitting the upper surface of the bracket base plate; the upper part of the bonding surface of the auxiliary arch tube base plate fits against the tooth surface of the patient's anterior teeth, so that the auxiliary arch tube base plate is completely fitted to both the tooth surface and the bracket base plate at the same time.

[0009] Furthermore, the bonding surface of the auxiliary bow tube base plate has a mesh bottom structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the mesh bottom structure includes a plurality of intersecting boss structures; a receiving cavity for accommodating adhesive is formed between the boss structures.

[0011] Furthermore, the bonding surface of the auxiliary arch tube base plate is also engraved with tooth position numbers.

[0012] Furthermore, the boss structure includes a first boss and a second boss that intersect each other perpendicularly to form a woven mesh bottom structure; the first boss and the second boss are inclined relative to the length direction of the adhesive surface.

[0013] Furthermore, the two ends of the auxiliary bow tube mounting hole are beveled ends, which are inclined along the upper surface of the auxiliary bow tube base plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the port of the auxiliary bow tube mounting hole has an outwardly flared horn-shaped structure in the radial direction.

[0015] Furthermore, the auxiliary bow tube is made of any one of stainless steel, nickel-titanium, or titanium alloy.

[0016] Furthermore, the orthodontic system for adjusting the anterior tooth relationship in the later stage of orthodontic treatment also includes: an archwire; the body of the bracket has an archwire groove, and the archwire passes through the archwire groove of each bracket.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects that this utility model can achieve are as follows:

[0018] In the early stages of orthodontic treatment, there is no need to reserve space for the auxiliary arch tube on the brackets; only regular brackets are needed. This ensures that the brackets are as thin as possible, and the base plate for the auxiliary arch tube does not need to be bonded temporarily, thus minimizing the foreign body sensation in the patient's mouth. In the later stages of treatment, if the patient develops malocclusion at the incisal edge of the anterior teeth, temporary adjustments are required. At this time, the base plate for the auxiliary arch tube can be bonded to the corresponding tooth position. The base plate for the auxiliary arch tube is simultaneously attached to the tooth surface and the bracket base plate, thus providing a space for the auxiliary arch tube. The auxiliary arch tube is then inserted into each base plate to achieve fine adjustments such as anterior tooth alignment. If, in the later stages of treatment, the patient's orthodontic progress is as ideal as expected, and there is no problem with the incisal edge of the anterior teeth, then the auxiliary arch tube mounting plate and auxiliary arch tube can be omitted. This way, the patient will not be affected by the foreign body sensation or occlusal interference of the auxiliary arch tube throughout the entire orthodontic process, improving the patient's experience.

[0019] This invention is beneficial for making temporary adjustments in the later stages of orthodontic treatment. If the initial orthodontic plan is inadequate or there are deviations in the orthodontic process, the front teeth can be aligned and finely moved at any time in the later stages of treatment by bonding the base plate of the auxiliary arch tube and wearing the auxiliary arch tube. Importantly, it can achieve the effect of temporary adjustment and correction of orthodontic deviations in the later stages of treatment. Attached Figure Description

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] This utility model discloses an orthodontic system for adjusting the relationship between anterior teeth in the later stage of orthodontic treatment. It belongs to a type of fixed orthodontic appliance and is especially used for personalized lingual orthodontic treatment.

[0032] See Figures 1-3This utility model includes: a bracket 10, an auxiliary arch tube base plate 20, and an auxiliary arch tube 30. The bracket 10 includes a bracket base plate 11 and a body 12. The lower surface shape of the bracket base plate 11 matches the shape of the patient's tooth surface, allowing the bracket base plate 11 to completely conform to the patient's tooth surface. The bracket base plate 11 is bonded and fixed to the patient's tooth surface. The bracket 10 can be a conventional personalized lingual orthodontic bracket 10. The bracket 10 does not contain mounting holes for the auxiliary arch tube 30, nor does it contain any other structures for mounting the auxiliary arch tube 30, and there is no need to reserve mounting positions for the auxiliary arch tube 30. The number of auxiliary arch tube base plates 20 is several, the same as the number of teeth 40 that need to be aligned in the anterior segment; see reference. Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 The auxiliary bow tube base plate 20 has an auxiliary bow tube mounting hole 21, which is opened along the mesial-distal direction. Both ends of the hole are through-holes, allowing the auxiliary bow tube 30 to be inserted into the hole. The lower surface of the auxiliary bow tube base plate 20 is an adhesive surface. When the auxiliary bow tube base plate 20 is bonded to the oral cavity, see... Figure 3 The bonding surface is simultaneously bonded and fixed to the anterior tooth surface of tooth 40 and the bracket base plate 11, that is, the auxiliary arch tube base plate 20 is simultaneously fixed to the anterior tooth and the bracket base plate 11. The auxiliary arch tubes 30 are simultaneously inserted into the auxiliary arch tube mounting holes 21 of each auxiliary arch tube base plate 20.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0034] In the early stages of treatment, there is no need to reserve a position for the auxiliary arch tube 30 on the bracket 10. Only the conventional bracket 10 can be used. This can ensure that the thickness of the bracket 10 is as thin as possible. At the same time, the base plate 20 of the auxiliary arch tube does not need to be glued for the time being, thereby minimizing the foreign body sensation in the patient's mouth. In the later stages of orthodontic treatment, if the patient experiences malocclusion of the anterior incisal edges, temporary adjustments may be necessary. At this time, the auxiliary arch tube base plate 20 can be bonded to the corresponding tooth position. The auxiliary arch tube base plate 20 is simultaneously attached to the tooth surface and the bracket base plate 11, thus providing a mounting position for the auxiliary arch tube 30. The auxiliary arch tube 30 is then inserted onto each auxiliary arch tube base plate 20 to achieve fine adjustments such as anterior tooth alignment. If, in the later stages of orthodontic treatment, the patient's treatment progress is as ideal as expected and no anterior incisal edge malocclusion occurs, the auxiliary arch tube 30 mounting plate and auxiliary arch tube 30 may not be required. This way, the patient will not be affected by the foreign body sensation or occlusal interference of the auxiliary arch tube 30 throughout the entire orthodontic process, improving the patient's experience.

[0035] This invention is beneficial for making temporary adjustments in the later stages of orthodontic treatment. If the initial orthodontic plan is insufficient or there are deviations in the orthodontic process, the front teeth can be aligned and finely moved at any time in the later stages of treatment by bonding the auxiliary arch tube base plate 20 and wearing the auxiliary arch tube 30. Importantly, it can achieve the effect of temporary adjustment and correction of orthodontic deviations in the later stages of treatment.

[0036] Since the auxiliary arch tube base plate 20 needs to be bonded and fixed to both the tooth surface and the bracket base plate 11, and the bracket base plate 11 itself is attached to the tooth surface, in order to achieve a fitting and stable bonding effect for the auxiliary arch tube base plate 20, preferably, the lower part of the bonding surface of the auxiliary arch tube base plate 20 has a concave structure, which is slightly concave, for fitting to the upper surface of the bracket base plate 11; at the same time, the upper part of the bonding surface of the auxiliary arch tube base plate 20 is attached to the tooth surface of the anterior tooth segment, so that the auxiliary arch tube base plate 20 is simultaneously attached to both the tooth surface and the bracket base plate 11.

[0037] To enhance the bonding effect of the auxiliary bow tube base plate 20 and prevent it from easily loosening, preferably, refer to... Figure 5 The bonding surface of the auxiliary bow tube base plate 20 also has a mesh bottom structure 22, which can accommodate a small amount of adhesive to enhance the bonding effect.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, see [reference] Figure 5 The mesh bottom structure 22 includes a plurality of intersecting boss structures 221, and the gaps between the boss structures 221 form a receiving cavity for accommodating a small amount of adhesive. More specifically, the boss structure 221 includes a plurality of mutually perpendicular intersecting first bosses and second bosses, which intersect in a cross shape to form a woven mesh bottom structure. The first bosses and second bosses are inclined relative to the length direction of the adhesive surface. Of course, in other embodiments, the boss structure 221 may also be a T-shaped, L-shaped, or other shape structure, which is not specifically limited here.

[0039] Since the auxiliary arch tube base plate 20 is also a personalized design based on the patient's dental condition, the bottom surface shape of each auxiliary arch tube base plate 20 matches the tooth surface shape of each anterior tooth and the bracket base plate 11. Therefore, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the auxiliary arch tube base plate 20 and the tooth position of each anterior tooth segment. Preferably, in order to facilitate the identification of the auxiliary arch tube base plate 20 at different tooth positions, the corresponding tooth position number 23 is also engraved on the bonding surface of the auxiliary arch tube base plate 20, so that the auxiliary arch tube base plate 20 at the corresponding tooth position can be quickly and accurately picked up before the bonding operation.

[0040] Preferably, since the diameter of the auxiliary bow tube 30 is very small, its insertion requires relatively precise operation. To reduce the difficulty of inserting the auxiliary bow tube 30 into the hole, preferably, refer to... Figure 4 Both ends of the auxiliary arch tube mounting hole 21 are beveled, and the beveled ends are inclined along the upper surface of the auxiliary arch tube base plate 20. In this way, the auxiliary arch tube 30 is less likely to be restricted by the hole opening when entering the hole, making installation easier.

[0041] Preferably, also in order to reduce the difficulty of inserting the auxiliary bow tube 30 into the hole, the port of the auxiliary bow tube mounting hole 21 has an outwardly flared flared structure in the radial direction, thereby increasing the area of ​​the hole and making it easier for the auxiliary bow tube 30 to be inserted into the hole.

[0042] Preferably, the auxiliary bow tube 30 is made of any one of stainless steel, nickel-titanium, or titanium alloy, or other auxiliary bow tube materials known in the field.

[0043] This invention also includes an archwire, which serves as the component for outputting the main orthodontic force and is connected to each bracket 10. An archwire groove is formed on the body 12 of each bracket 10, and the archwire passes through the archwire groove of each bracket 10.

[0044] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
