Dental Fixtures

Abstract

As shown in the "Reference Diagram Showing How It Is Used," this product is a dental fixture that can easily fix a tooth that you do not want to move during orthodontic treatment, such as a molar, while moving the other teeth in the direction of their desired alignment, since all teeth move when orthodontic treatment is performed by gradually moving each tooth in the desired direction using, for example, a mouthpiece (or wire orthodontics), not shown. As shown in the "Reference Enlarged Diagram Showing How It Is Used," this product works by embedding and fixing an implant anchor in the alveolar bone near the molar to be fixed, using this implant anchor as the fixation source. An adhesive is applied to a metal mesh portion on the adhesive side of the fixing part to fix the fixing part to the molar to be fixed, and one end of a bent connecting portion is fixed to this fixing part, and a locking portion is provided at the other end. The forked recess of this locking portion is inserted into the shank of the implant anchor to prevent the molar to be fixed from moving anteriorly (mesially), as indicated by the arrow, and then the mouthpiece is attached to the dental part to perform orthodontic treatment.
