Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthodontic technology in oral medicine, and in particular to an accessory for oral orthodontics. Background Technology

[0002] Orthodontics in dentistry 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. The ultimate goal of orthodontic treatment is to achieve balance, stability, and aesthetics in the stomatognathic system. Torque adjustment is an important operation in orthodontic treatment, which aims to make the teeth reach the ideal position and angle in three-dimensional space, thereby achieving good occlusion and aesthetic results.

[0003] In existing technologies, traditional torque adjustment attachments are difficult to provide a continuous and stable light force. In orthodontic treatment, excessive force may cause adverse reactions such as tooth pain and root resorption, while insufficient force or force decay too quickly will not achieve the expected orthodontic effect. Traditional attachments are insufficient in terms of force output and maintenance, often requiring frequent adjustments or replacements, which increases the number of visits and treatment costs for patients. Traditional torque springs can usually only be applied to square archwires, which greatly limits their application in orthodontic treatment. In addition, the manufacturing process of traditional torque adjustment attachments is complex and usually requires specialized equipment and technicians to make them. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the existing technology, such as the difficulty of providing continuous and stable light force with traditional torque adjustment accessories, the fact that traditional torque springs can usually only be applied to square archwires, and the complex manufacturing process of traditional torque adjustment accessories. Therefore, this invention proposes an accessory for orthodontic use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an orthodontic accessory, comprising a tooth body and an archwire body, wherein a bracket base plate is provided on the front side of the tooth body, and a bracket body is provided on the surface of the bracket base plate, wherein a modified torque spring is provided between the archwire body and the bracket body, the modified torque spring comprising a helical winding portion and an abutment portion, and an archwire groove is provided inside the bracket body.

[0006] Preferably, the improved torque spring is made of stainless steel wire with a diameter of 0.6 mm, with one end fixedly connected to the bow wire body and the other end in contact with the bracket body.

[0007] Preferably, the spiral winding portion has 2.5 turns and a winding gap of ≤0.1mm.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the abutting portion is in close contact with the inner side of the bracket body.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] 1. In this utility model, by setting a modified torque spring made of stainless steel wire with a diameter of 0.6mm and placing it between the archwire body and the bracket body, a continuous light force can be provided to the teeth to increase the root torque. One end of the modified torque spring is fixedly connected to the archwire body, and the other end abuts against the bracket body. The spiral winding part has 2.5 turns and a winding gap of ≤0.1mm. This design allows it to store sufficient elastic potential energy and continuously and stably release light force, which helps the tooth root move in the expected direction and adjust the torque. It can be used on both round and square archwires, breaking through the limitation of traditional torque springs that can only be used on square archwires and expanding its application range.

[0011] 2. In this utility model, the improved torque spring can be made by hand and is easy to bend. Orthodontists can quickly make a suitable improved torque spring according to the patient's specific dental condition and orthodontic needs, without relying on complex manufacturing equipment and processes, which reduces manufacturing costs and time costs, and can also better meet the requirements of personalized treatment.

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0017] Example 1: As Figures 1-2As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an orthodontic accessory, including a tooth body 1 and an archwire body 2. A bracket base plate 3 is provided on the front side of the tooth body 1, and a bracket body 4 is provided on the surface of the bracket base plate 3. A modified torque spring 5 is provided between the archwire body 2 and the bracket body 4. The modified torque spring 5 includes a spiral winding part 501 and an abutment part 502. An archwire groove 6 is provided inside the bracket body 4. The modified torque spring 5 is made of stainless steel wire with a diameter of 0.6 mm, and one end of it is fixedly connected to the archwire body 2, and the other end is in contact with the bracket body 4. The spiral winding part 501 has 2.5 turns and a winding gap of ≤0.1 mm. The surface of the abutment part 502 is in close contact with the inner side of the bracket body 4.

[0018] In this embodiment, a modified torque spring 5, made of 0.6mm diameter stainless steel wire, is placed between the archwire body 2 and the bracket body 4. This provides a continuous light force to the teeth to increase root torque. One end of the modified torque spring 5 is fixedly connected to the archwire body 2, and the other end abuts against the bracket body 4. The spiral winding part 501 has 2.5 turns and a winding gap of ≤0.1mm. This design allows it to store sufficient elastic potential energy and continuously and stably release light force, which helps the tooth root move in the expected direction and adjust the torque. It can be used on both round and square archwires, breaking through the limitation that traditional torque springs can only be used on square archwires, thus expanding its application range. Moreover, the modified torque spring 5 can be made by hand and is easy to bend. Orthodontists can quickly make a suitable modified torque spring 5 according to the patient's specific dental condition and orthodontic needs without relying on complex manufacturing equipment and processes, reducing manufacturing costs and time costs, while also better meeting the requirements of personalized treatment.

[0019] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, a bracket base plate 3 is bonded to the front of the patient's tooth body 1. Then, the bracket body 4 is installed on the bracket base plate 3. Next, the archwire body 2 is placed in the archwire groove 6 inside the bracket body 4. Then, one end of the bent modified torque spring 5 is fixedly connected to the archwire body 2, so that the spiral winding portion 501 stores elastic potential energy. The other end's abutment portion 502 is in close contact with the inner side of the bracket body 4. During orthodontic treatment, the spiral winding portion 501 of the modified torque spring 5 continuously releases the stored elastic potential energy. Light force is transmitted to the tooth body 1 through the connection with the archwire body 2 and the contact between the abutment part 502 and the bracket body 4, pushing the tooth root to generate torque in the expected direction. Due to the unique design of the modified torque spring 5, it can play a stable role regardless of whether a round archwire or a square archwire is used. Doctors can flexibly choose the archwire type according to the progress of treatment. Moreover, if the condition of the patient's teeth changes during treatment and the modified torque spring 5 needs to be adjusted, doctors can easily re-bend a suitable modified torque spring 5 by hand according to the needs, ensuring the smooth progress of orthodontic treatment.
