Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthodontic device technology, specifically a miniature tubular oral orthodontic device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of orthodontics, microtubular orthodontic appliances, as an emerging treatment technology, are gradually gaining popularity among patients and doctors. These devices apply precise orthodontic forces to the teeth through micro-tubes to achieve proper alignment and improve occlusion.
[0003] However, once the bracket angle of traditional miniature tubular orthodontic appliances is fixed, it is difficult to flexibly adjust it according to actual orthodontic needs. Although this fixed-angle design simplifies the manufacturing and installation process of the orthodontic appliance to a certain extent, it ignores the diversity and complexity of malocclusion among individual patients. Different patients have different tooth alignment, tilt angle, and degree of rotation, so they also have different needs for the direction and magnitude of orthodontic force. Fixed-angle brackets often fail to meet these complex situations. Therefore, a miniature tubular orthodontic appliance needs to be designed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a miniature tubular oral orthodontic device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a miniature tubular oral orthodontic device, comprising a base plate, wherein a set of first limiting blocks are rotatably connected to one side of the base plate, and a microtube is provided at one end of the first limiting block. The base plate and the first limiting block can be locked by a locking component, thereby enabling the angle adjustment of the microtube.
[0006] Preferably, the locking assembly includes bolts and positioning holes. A set of bolts is threaded to one side of the first limiting block. The bolts can be inserted into the positioning holes that are adapted to the base plate. Multiple sets of positioning holes are circumferentially formed.
[0007] Preferably, the microtube includes a second limiting block, a first cavity, and a second cavity. The second limiting block is a rectangular piece, and the first cavity and the second cavity are respectively opened at both ends of the second limiting block. The first cavity and the second cavity are both circular cavities and are arranged in parallel.
[0008] Preferably, the diameter of the first cavity is different from the diameter of the second cavity.
[0009] Preferably, two sets of connecting pieces are provided on each side of the second limiting block, and all four sets of connecting pieces are bent toward the direction of the first limiting block.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] 1. Because the angle of the microtube in this invention can be flexibly adjusted, doctors can customize personalized orthodontic plans according to the specific malocclusion and treatment needs of patients. This helps to improve the treatment effect, reduce the treatment cycle, and increase patient satisfaction. Rotating the first limiting block can drive the microtube to adjust the angle, which is simple and quick to operate. The locking component design allows the microtube to be quickly fixed after being adjusted to the required angle, improving work efficiency. This design can adapt to the malocclusion and treatment needs of different patients. Whether it is malocclusion, tilting, or twisting of teeth, effective correction can be achieved by adjusting the angle of the microtube.
[0012] 2. After the bolt is inserted into the positioning hole, the first limiting block will be firmly locked on the base plate due to the self-locking property of the threaded connection, thereby fixing the angle of the microtube. Since there are multiple sets of positioning holes in a circle, the angle of the microtube can be flexibly adjusted. Doctors can choose the most suitable locking angle according to the patient's specific orthodontic needs, improving the personalization and accuracy of the orthodontic treatment. The microtube angle can be locked by rotating the bolt. The operation is simple and quick, improving work efficiency.
[0013] 3. The first and second cavities of this utility model have different diameters, which can accommodate archwires of different diameters and meet diverse orthodontic needs. Whether the wire is thin or thick, a suitable cavity can be found, improving the versatility of the microtube. By adjusting the relative positions of the first and second limiting blocks, the position and angle of the archwire in the microtube can be precisely controlled. This helps to achieve precise application of orthodontic force and improve the orthodontic effect. The connecting piece allows for the convenient addition of additional archwires or other accessories during the orthodontic process, which increases the flexibility and scalability of the orthodontic system and helps to cope with complex orthodontic situations.

[0019] 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.
[0020] Example 1
[0021] Please refer to Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a miniature tubular oral orthodontic device, including a base plate 1. A set of first limiting blocks 2 are rotatably connected to one side of the base plate 1. A microtube is provided at one end of the first limiting block 2. The base plate 1 and the first limiting block 2 can be locked by a locking component, and the angle of the microtube can be adjusted.
[0022] A set of first limiting blocks 2 is installed on one side of the base plate 1 via a rotatable connection. A microtube is provided at one end of the first limiting block 2. The microtube is used to apply corrective force. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the microtube, the doctor can manually rotate the first limiting block 2 to adjust the angle of the microtube. After the microtube is adjusted to the required angle, the first limiting block 2 is locked using a locking component to fix the angle of the microtube and ensure that the first limiting block 2 will not rotate arbitrarily after locking.
[0023] Because the angle of the microtube can be flexibly adjusted, doctors can customize personalized treatment plans based on the patient's specific malocclusion and treatment needs. This helps improve treatment effectiveness, reduce treatment time, and increase patient satisfaction. Rotating the first limiting block 2 can drive the microtube to adjust its angle, making the operation simple and quick. The locking component design allows the microtube to be quickly fixed after being adjusted to the required angle, improving work efficiency. This design can adapt to the malocclusion and treatment needs of different patients. Whether it is malocclusion, tilting, or twisting of teeth, effective correction can be achieved by adjusting the angle of the microtube.
[0024] Specifically, the locking component includes bolts 3 and positioning holes 4. A set of bolts 3 are threadedly connected to one side of the first limiting block 2. The bolts 3 can be inserted into the positioning holes 4 that are adapted to the base plate 1. There are multiple sets of positioning holes 4 in a circular pattern.
[0025] When the angle of the microtube needs to be adjusted, the doctor can manually rotate the first limiting block 2 to adjust the angle of the microtube. After the microtube is adjusted to the desired angle, the doctor rotates the bolt 3, which is threaded to the first limiting block 2, and inserts the bolt 3 into the corresponding positioning hole 4 on the base plate 1. Since there are multiple sets of positioning holes 4 arranged in a circle, different positioning holes 4 can be selected to achieve different locking angles.
[0026] After bolt 3 is inserted into positioning hole 4, the first limiting block 2 will be firmly locked on base plate 1 due to the self-locking property of threaded connection, thereby fixing the angle of microtube. Since positioning hole 4 is circumferentially opened in multiple sets, the angle of microtube can be flexibly adjusted. Doctors can select the most suitable locking angle according to the patient's specific orthodontic needs, improving the personalization and accuracy of orthodontic treatment. The angle of microtube can be locked by rotating bolt 3. The operation is simple and quick, improving work efficiency.
[0027] The microtube includes a second limiting block 5, a first cavity 6, and a second cavity 7. The second limiting block 5 is a rectangular piece, and the first cavity 6 and the second cavity 7 are respectively opened at both ends of the second limiting block 5. The first cavity 6 and the second cavity 7 are both circular cavities and are arranged in parallel. The diameter of the first cavity 6 is different from the diameter of the second cavity 7. Two sets of connecting pieces 8 are provided on each side of the second limiting block 5, and all four sets of connecting pieces 8 are bent toward the direction of the first limiting block 2.
[0028] Depending on the orthodontic needs, an archwire of appropriate diameter is selected and inserted into either the first cavity 6 or the second cavity 7. Since the two cavities have different diameters, flexibility is possible. By adjusting the relative positions of the first limiting block 2 and the second limiting block 5, the position and angle of the archwire within the microtube can be adjusted, thereby achieving precise control of the orthodontic force. The connecting piece 8 is used to secure additional archwires or other attachments. During treatment, additional orthodontic elements may need to be added depending on the specific circumstances; the connecting piece 8 provides convenient ligation conditions.
[0029] The first cavity 6 and the second cavity 7 have different diameters, which can accommodate archwires of different diameters and meet diverse orthodontic needs. Whether the wire is thin or thick, a suitable insertion point can be found in the cavity, improving the versatility of the microtube. By adjusting the relative positions of the first limiting block 2 and the second limiting block 5, the position and angle of the archwire in the microtube can be precisely controlled. This helps to achieve precise application of orthodontic force and improve the orthodontic effect. The connecting piece 8 allows for the convenient addition of additional archwires or other accessories during the orthodontic process, which increases the flexibility and scalability of the orthodontic system and helps to cope with complex orthodontic situations.
[0030] Working principle: When the angle of the microtube needs to be adjusted, the doctor can manually rotate the first limiting block 2 to adjust the angle of the microtube. After the microtube is adjusted to the required angle, the doctor rotates the bolt 3 threaded to the first limiting block 2 and inserts the bolt 3 into the corresponding positioning hole 4 on the base plate 1. Since there are multiple sets of positioning holes 4 in a circle, different positioning holes 4 can be selected to achieve different locking angles. According to the orthodontic needs, an archwire of appropriate diameter is selected and inserted into the first cavity 6 or the second cavity 7. Since the diameters of the two are different, they can be flexibly selected.
