Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthodontics, and in particular to an orthodontic appliance. Background Technology

[0002] Orthodontic appliances are dental devices used to adjust the alignment and occlusion of teeth. They primarily work by applying gentle, continuous force to move teeth, improving appearance issues such as malocclusion, overbite, and underbite, as well as functional problems like chewing difficulties and speech impairments caused by misaligned teeth. Existing orthodontic appliances include maxillary alveoli for correcting upper teeth and mandibular alveoli for correcting lower teeth; these are typically used for full orthodontic treatment. However, some patients only require correction of either the upper or lower jaw. While it's possible to position the appliance using teeth that don't need correction, preventing displacement and ensuring the appliance effectively corrects the teeth that require correction, in such cases, existing full-coverage appliances can compromise comfort and breathability, and are also bulky, require more materials, and are more expensive.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following will describe this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.

[0027] See Figure 1-6 This utility model discloses a dental orthodontic appliance, including an orthodontic body 1 and orthodontic parts and positioning parts respectively disposed on both sides of the orthodontic body 1, wherein the positioning part includes a positioning area and a non-positioning area.

[0028] The correction unit includes an outer correction wall 11; the positioning area is provided with an outer positioning wall; the non-positioning area is located on one side of the outer positioning wall 11, and the non-positioning area is hollowed out.

[0029] This utility model of a dental orthodontic appliance includes an orthodontic main body and orthodontic and positioning parts respectively located on both sides of the main body. The positioning part includes a positioning area and a non-positioning area. The orthodontic part mainly uses an external orthodontic wall to limit and correct the position of one jaw tooth. The external positioning wall of the positioning area cooperates with the other jaw tooth to effectively position the entire dental orthodontic appliance, preventing it from shifting in the oral cavity and ensuring that the appliance effectively corrects the jaw tooth requiring correction. Meanwhile, the non-positioning area is hollowed out, which improves wearing comfort and breathability compared to existing fully enclosed dental orthodontic appliances, while also reducing material usage and lowering production costs.

[0030] Preferably, such as Figure 1 , 4 As shown, the orthodontic unit includes a first alveolar bone 111 corresponding to the external orthodontic wall 11. The first alveolar bone compresses the corresponding teeth, thus achieving an orthodontic effect.

[0031] The external orthodontic wall 11 extends from the outer edge of the orthodontic body 1 towards one side of the orthodontic body 1. Specifically, the external orthodontic wall applies pressure to the maxillary teeth that need correction from the outside of the teeth, and extends upward from the outer edge of the orthodontic body. The external positioning wall cooperates with the mandibular teeth to achieve effective positioning.

[0032] Preferably, the outer orthodontic wall 11 extends around the outer periphery of the orthodontic body 1, which is conducive to applying force evenly to the maxillary teeth as a whole and ensuring effective correction.

[0033] Preferably, such as Figure 1 , 4 As shown, the external orthodontic wall 11 is provided with an orthodontic notch 112. The orthodontic notch is provided to facilitate the user in removing the orthodontic appliance from the notch.

[0034] Furthermore, the orthodontic appliance of this utility model includes a first embodiment and a second embodiment. The difference between the first embodiment and the second embodiment lies in the number and specific structure of the positioning area and the non-positioning area.

[0035] The first embodiment 100a of the orthodontic appliance of this utility model: as follows: Figure 1-3 As shown, there are at least two non-positioning areas 13a, which are respectively located on both sides of the positioning area. The positioning area is located in the middle of the correction body 1, and the non-positioning areas 13a are symmetrically located on both sides of the positioning area.

[0036] The first embodiment of this invention uses an external positioning wall located in the middle of the orthodontic body to position the entire orthodontic appliance in the oral cavity. Specifically, the orthodontic unit is fitted onto the maxillary teeth, and the external positioning wall cooperates with the anterior teeth of the mandible to position the entire orthodontic appliance. Moreover, the positioning area is located in the middle of the orthodontic body to ensure overall force balance, prevent displacement, and ensure effective positioning. Non-positioning areas are provided on both sides of the positioning area. These non-positioning areas are hollowed out, meaning they do not have external positioning walls and do not act on the posterior teeth of the mandible. This makes the orthodontic appliance more comfortable to wear, improves breathability, reduces the overall size of the orthodontic appliance, uses less material, and lowers production costs.

[0037] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the positioning area is provided with a second alveolar 121 corresponding to the outer positioning wall 12a. The provision of the second alveolar 121 allows for better cooperation with the corresponding teeth, thereby better limiting the positioning area and the teeth, and enabling the entire orthodontic appliance to achieve effective positioning.

[0038] The outer positioning wall 12a extends from the outer edge of the self-correcting body 1 to the other side of the self-correcting body 1. Specifically, the outer positioning wall 12a extends from the outer edge of the self-correcting body 1 downwards.

[0042] The second embodiment of this invention uses external positioning walls located on both sides of the non-positioning area (i.e., the orthodontic main body) to position the entire orthodontic appliance in the oral cavity. Specifically, the orthodontic unit is fitted onto the maxillary teeth, and the external positioning walls cooperate with the posterior teeth of the mandible to position the entire orthodontic appliance. Furthermore, the two positioning areas are symmetrically located on both sides of the orthodontic main body to ensure balanced force distribution, prevent displacement, and guarantee effective positioning. The two positioning areas are connected by the non-positioning area, which is located in the middle of the orthodontic main body and corresponds to the anterior teeth of the mandible. The non-positioning area is hollowed out to prevent force on the anterior teeth of the mandible, making the orthodontic appliance more comfortable to wear, improving breathability, reducing the overall size of the orthodontic appliance, using less material, and lowering production costs.

[0043] Preferably, such as Figure 5 As shown, the positioning area is provided with a second alveolar 121 corresponding to the outer positioning wall 12b. The second alveolar 121 can better cooperate with the corresponding tooth, thereby better limiting the positioning area and the tooth, and enabling the entire orthodontic appliance to be effectively positioned.

[0044] The outer positioning wall 12b extends from the outer edge of the self-correcting body 1 to the other side of the self-correcting body 1. Specifically, the outer positioning wall 12b extends from the outer edge of the self-correcting body 1 downwards.
