It is primarily used to stabilize tooth position long-term after orthodontic treatment and prevent relapse. It consists of metal wires or fiber strips bonded to the inside of the teeth and is invisible, making it suitable for people who have high aesthetic requirements and need long-term retention.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN219940832U discloses a lingual retainer, comprising: a locator and a retaining wire; the locator has a positioning cavity inside suitable for matching the incisal edge of the patient's teeth, and a snap-fit ​​portion is provided on the side of the locator along the lingual direction, which is adapted to cooperate with the retaining wire; the retaining wire is shaped according to the patient's personalized orthodontic goals; the retaining wire is connected to the snap-fit ​​portion of the locator so that the retaining wire fits snugly against the lingual surface of the teeth; the retaining wire is used for bonding and fixing to the lingual surface of the teeth. The above patent document has the advantages of high fit and high precision, while also being convenient to operate, saving chairside time for both patients and doctors, and effectively improving the patient's orthodontic experience.

[0004] The aforementioned patent documents can save chairside time for patients and doctors during implementation, effectively improving the patient's orthodontic experience. However, because the metal wire is completely attached to the lingual side of the teeth, it is easy to form a food residue retention area, increasing the risk of plaque buildup and periodontal disease. It is not convenient and effective to clean the food residue in the retention area, increasing the difficulty of oral cleaning and affecting the oral hygiene. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a fixed tongue-side retainer with a tongue-side cleaning channel, which can effectively solve the problem of not being able to conveniently and effectively clean food residue in the retention area.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A fixed tongue-side retainer with a tongue-side cleaning channel includes several bases, and a connecting mechanism is fixedly connected to the rear outer side of several bases. A disassembly and assembly component is movably connected to the rear of the connecting mechanism, and several positioning mechanisms are fixedly connected to the front of the disassembly and assembly component at intervals.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a retaining wire, and a plurality of cleaning channels are spaced apart on the upper and lower parts of the outer surface of the retaining wire. A receiving groove is provided in the middle of the rear end of the outer surface of the retaining wire, and a plurality of positioning holes are spaced apart on the front wall of the inner cavity of the receiving groove.

[0008] Preferably, the retaining filament is made of a fiber composite material.

The positions of the plurality of cleaning channels II that are movably connected to the inner cavity of the receiving groove are aligned with the vertical positions of the plurality of cleaning channels I.

[0010] Preferably, the protective adhesive plate is made of resin material.

[0011] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a fixed column, a hemispherical block is fixedly connected to the front end of the outer surface of the fixed column, and the rear end of the outer surface of the fixed column is fixedly connected to a silicone strip. The hemispherical block is movably connected to the inner cavity of the corresponding positioning hole.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model can connect several bases through the connecting mechanism, and at the same time, it can facilitate the disassembly and replacement of several protective adhesive plates through the disassembly and assembly components. Under the action of the positioning mechanism, the disassembly and assembly components can be fixed inside the connecting mechanism, which improves the practicality and universality of the device.

[0013] 2. This utility model provides several cleaning channels 1 and washing channels 2 that are spaced apart on the upper and lower surfaces of the retaining wire and silicone strip. These cleaning channels 1 and washing channels 2 are positioned at the junction of two teeth in the oral cavity. This allows water to flow along the inner cavities of the cleaning channels 1 and washing channels 2 during daily brushing, effectively rinsing away any residue trapped between the two teeth.

[0016] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, a fixed tongue-side retainer with a tongue-side cleaning channel includes several bases 1. The rear sides of the several bases 1 are fixedly connected to a connecting mechanism 2, which can connect the several bases 1. The rear of the connecting mechanism 2 is movably connected to a disassembly assembly 3, which can facilitate the disassembly and replacement of several protective adhesive plates 33. The front of the disassembly assembly 3 is fixedly connected to several positioning mechanisms 4 at intervals, which can fix the disassembly assembly 3 inside the connecting mechanism 2.

[0018] To achieve the purpose of connecting several base stations 1, see [reference]. Figure 2 The connecting mechanism 2 includes a retaining wire 21. Several cleaning channels 22 are spaced apart on the upper and lower parts of the outer surface of the retaining wire 21. When aligned with the corresponding cleaning channels 32, the retaining wire 21 can clean the impurities stuck between the two teeth during rinsing. A receiving groove 23 is provided in the middle of the rear end of the outer surface of the retaining wire 21. The receiving groove 23 can be used to receive the silicone strip 31. Several positioning holes 24 are spaced apart on the front wall of the inner cavity of the receiving groove 23. The receiving groove 23 can be used to cooperate with the corresponding hemispherical block 42 so that the silicone strip 31 can be clamped in the inner cavity of the receiving groove 23.

[0019] The retainer filament 21 is made of fiber composite material.

[0020] This design allows for the utilization of the good toughness and deformation resistance of the retaining wire 21, thereby reducing irritation to the oral cavity.

[0021] To facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the various protective adhesive plates 33, please refer to... Figure 4 The disassembly and assembly component 3 includes a silicone strip 31. The upper and lower parts of the outer surface of the silicone strip 31 are provided with several cleaning channels 32 at intervals. This allows it to be aligned with two teeth and then used to precisely clean the residue stuck between the two teeth during rinsing. Several protective adhesive plates 33 are fixedly connected to the middle of the silicone strip 31 at intervals. The positions of the several cleaning channels 32 that are movably connected to the inner cavity of the receiving groove 23 are aligned with the vertical positions of the several cleaning channels 22.

[0022] The protective adhesive plate 33 is made of resin material.

[0023] This design ensures that the lingual retainer is firmly attached to the lingual side of the teeth, preventing it from loosening during use.

[0024] To achieve the purpose of fixing the disassembly / assembly component 3 inside the connecting mechanism 2, refer to... Figure 5 The positioning mechanism 4 includes a fixed post 41, with a hemispherical block 42 fixedly connected to the front end of the outer surface of the fixed post 41. This allows the silicone strip 31 and several protective adhesive plates 33 to be pulled out from the inner cavity of the corresponding positioning hole 24 for cleaning and maintenance after several hemispherical blocks 42 are pulled out from the inner cavity of the corresponding positioning hole 24. The rear end of the outer surface of the fixed post 41 is fixedly connected to the silicone strip 31, and the hemispherical block 42 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the corresponding positioning hole 24.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After applying an appropriate amount of adhesive material to the front surface of several protective adhesive plates 33, the protective adhesive plates 33 are sequentially bonded to the inner side of the front teeth. The width of each tooth is used to align the several sets of cleaning channels 1 22 and cleaning channels 2 32 with the gap between the two teeth. During subsequent cleaning, the water flow can fully rinse the residue remaining in the retention area along the inner cavity of the several sets of cleaning channels 1 22 and receiving grooves 23. When it is necessary to fully clean the outer surface of the retaining wire 21 and silicone band 31 or add adhesive material to ensure that the base 1 can continue to be stably fixed in the oral cavity, the silicone band 31 can be pulled to remove the several hemispherical blocks 42 from the inner cavity of the corresponding positioning holes 24. This allows for the thorough cleaning of the residue remaining on the surface of the retaining wire 21 and silicone band 31, and also allows for the re-addition of adhesive material that has fallen off the front surface of the protective adhesive plates 33. Then, the retainer can be bonded to the inner side of the front teeth again.

[0026] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
