Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthodontic technology, specifically to a novel orthodontic buccal tube with a traction structure. Background Technology

[0002] The buccal tube is a commonly used accessory in orthodontic treatment, generally consisting of a base plate, a tube body, and traction hooks. The base plate is bonded to the surface of the posterior tooth crown for assembly and use, mainly for fixing orthodontic wires; the traction hooks can be used to attach rubber bands, etc., for intramaxillary or intermaxillary traction, transmitting orthodontic forces to the teeth.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent CN221786719U, which discloses a medical device in the field of orthodontic technology, specifically an orthodontic buccal tube. This orthodontic buccal tube comprises a base plate and a tube body with an integral structure. The tube body has an archwire groove running along its length and penetrating the entire tube. The base plate has an arc-shaped bottom surface, and the upper surface of the tube body has a concave pointing groove parallel to the archwire groove. Concave clamping grooves are located on the upper and lower sides of the tube body, and a concave port receiving groove is located on one side of the tube body at its connection with the base plate. This invention offers advantages such as easy positioning during bonding, improved clamping stability, and comfort and safety. However, existing technologies cannot effectively store and position the traction hooks on the buccal tube, causing them to protrude outside the tube when not in use. This can easily irritate the oral mucosa, causing discomfort or ulcers. Furthermore, during traction therapy, the traction hooks lack a reliable locking mechanism, which may cause them to rotate or shift unexpectedly when force is applied, affecting the stable transmission of corrective force and thus reducing the treatment effect.

[0004] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned search and combined with existing technologies, a novel orthodontic buccal tube with a traction structure is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel orthodontic buccal tube with a traction structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

The rotating assembly also includes a magnetic suction component.

[0008] Preferably, the magnetic attraction component includes: a first magnet, which is fixedly installed in the adapter groove, and a second magnet is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the front end of the traction hook, wherein the first magnet and the second magnet attract each other.

[0011] Preferably, the base plate is a mesh base plate and is bonded to the tooth surface.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. In this utility model, by setting a rotating component, the traction hook can rotate around the axis of the fixed column, and by utilizing the mutual attraction between magnet one and magnet two, the traction hook can be stably stored in the non-use state, making it flush with the outer contour of the tube body, effectively avoiding its irritation to the oral mucosa and significantly improving the comfort of the patient wearing it. 2.

[0015] 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.

[0016] In one typical embodiment of this application, please refer to Figures 1-5 As shown, a novel orthodontic buccal tube with a traction structure includes a base plate 1, a tube body 2, a traction hook 4, a rotating assembly, and a limiting assembly.

[0017] The base plate 1 has a mesh structure, which increases the contact area with the adhesive and allows it to be firmly bonded to the buccal surface of the molar. The tube 2 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the base plate 1, and its interior has a hollow structure, forming the main channel for inserting the orthodontic archwire. The side wall of the base plate 1 has a rotating groove 3.

[0018] A rotating assembly is disposed in the rotating groove 3 to enable the rotation of the traction hook 4. This rotating assembly includes a fixed post 5, a sleeve post 6, and a magnetic suction element. The fixed post 5 is fixedly installed in the inner wall of the rotating groove 3. The sleeve post 6 is rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of the fixed post 5, and its outer wall is fixedly connected to the end of the traction hook 4, allowing the traction hook 4 to rotate about the fixed post 5 as its axis. An adaptation groove 7, which matches the shape of the traction hook 4, is provided on the inner wall of the tube body 2.

[0019] The magnetic component includes magnet 8 and magnet 9. Magnet 8 is fixedly embedded in the adapter slot 7. Magnet 9 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the front end of the traction hook 4. When the traction hook 4 is rotated to the storage position (e.g., Figure 3 As shown), its main body is embedded in the adapter groove 7. At this time, magnet 8 and magnet 9 attract each other and generate magnetic force, which keeps the traction hook 4 stably in this stored state, making it flush with the outer contour of the tube body 2, so as to avoid irritating the oral mucosa.

[0020] A limiting assembly is mounted on the base plate 1 to fix the working position of the traction hook 4. This limiting assembly includes a base 10, a connecting post 11, a limiting post 12, a spring 14, and a pulling block 15. The base 10 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the base plate 1. The connecting post 11 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the base 10, and a circular groove 13 is formed at the center of its top surface. The limiting post 12 is movably positioned above the connecting post 11. The spring 14 is housed within the circular groove 13, with its bottom end connected to the bottom surface of the groove 13 and its top end connected to the bottom surface of the limiting post 12, providing a continuous upward elastic force to the limiting post 12. The pulling block 15 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the limiting post 12 for easy application of force by the operator. A limiting hole 16 is formed at a corresponding position on the top surface of the traction hook 4.

[0021] Working principle: When not in use, the traction hook 4 is in a retracted state. At this time, under the magnetic attraction of magnets 8 and 9, the traction hook 4 is stably stored in the fitting slot 7 of the tube body 2, with a smooth shape, effectively improving patient comfort and facilitating oral cleaning. When orthodontic traction is required, the doctor or patient can pull the traction hook 4 outwards, causing it to overcome the magnetic force and rotate outwards around the fixing post 5. When the traction hook 4 rotates to a vertical or near-vertical working position, the limiting hole 16 on its top surface moves precisely below the limiting post 12. Under the restoring force of the spring 14, the limiting post 12 springs upwards into the limiting hole 16 of the traction hook 4 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a mechanical interlock is formed, thus firmly locking the traction hook 4 in the working position and preventing it from accidentally rotating under traction force, ensuring the stability and reliability of traction therapy. When it is necessary to retract the traction hook 4, simply press the limiting post 12 downward by pulling the block 15, causing it to compress the spring 14 and exit from the limiting hole 16, thereby releasing the lock. Then push the traction hook 4 back towards the tube body 2, so that it is re-embedded in the adapter groove 7 and fixed by magnetic adsorption, thus restoring it to the stored state.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
