Description

Malocclusion correction device and system with real-time monitoring function

[0001] This invention relates to a malocclusion correction device and system equipped with real-time monitoring capabilities. For example, this invention relates to a headgear that can be worn on the user's face to correct malocclusion.

[0002] In social life, where interpersonal relationships are paramount, teeth are one of the key factors in making a positive impression on others. A healthy dentition facilitates effective masticatory function, facilitates proper digestion, and plays a crucial role in maintaining good health. However, dentition problems can include crowding, spacing, supernumerary teeth, missing teeth, shape or positional abnormalities, or malocclusion, where the maxilla protrudes forward relative to the mandible.

[0003] In cases of malocclusion as described above, correction of teeth is necessary, and growth-controlled correction of this type of malocclusion is only possible for patients in the growth period, and if cooperation is good in adults, it can be used as a fixed source, so many studies have been conducted on devices for correcting malocclusion.

[0004] Meanwhile, conventional orthodontic devices mainly perform correction by hanging rubber bands on a frame that fixes the headgear to the upper jaw, and the maintenance process through constant wearing for at least one year of active treatment and the remaining growth period is very important while wearing the device for 12 to 18 hours a day.

[0005] However, because treatment is typically performed on children and adolescents during their growing years, it can be challenging for children to maintain orthodontic appliance use for extended periods of time, typically 12 to 18 hours a day. This requires ongoing observation to ensure proper use of the appliance, which can be challenging for extended periods of time. Furthermore, adults also require personalized monitoring to ensure that the appliance provides adequate corrective force and is worn for appropriate durations.

[0006] The technology underlying this application is disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2023-0105414.

[0007] The present invention aims to solve the problems of the above-mentioned prior art and to provide a malocclusion correction device and its operating method having a real-time monitoring function that can check the device wearing status and device wearing time for correcting the user's malocclusion.

[0008] However, the technical tasks to be achieved by the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the technical tasks described above, and other technical tasks may exist.

[0009] As a technical means for achieving the above-described technical task, a malocclusion correction device having a real-time monitoring function according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a body part including an orthodontic unit including an inner bow connected to a user's teeth, an outer bow extended from the inner bow and positioned laterally on the user's cheek area, a connecting unit including a connecting member coupled to an end of the outer bow and provided to apply tension to the user's upper jaw, a sensing module for detecting the tension, and a communication module for transmitting sensing data detected by the sensing module.

[0010] Additionally, a plurality of holes may be formed in the connecting member for inserting the ends of the outer bows.

[0011] In addition, the size of the tension can be adjusted by changing the hole into which the end of the outer bow is inserted among the plurality of holes.

[0012] Additionally, the body part may include an elastic member connected to the connecting member to adjust the tension.

[0013] Additionally, the sensing data can be transmitted from the communication module to the main server.

[0014] Additionally, the main server can derive wearing pattern information of the user for the corrective device using the sensing data.

[0015] Additionally, the wearing pattern information may include wearing status information and wearing time information of the corrective device.

[0016] Additionally, the wearing status information may include information on whether the corrective device is normally worn so that the tension conforms to a preset reference range.

[0017] Additionally, the body portion may include a first body portion and a second body portion that are positioned to be spaced apart from each other on the back of the user's head.

[0018] In addition, the connecting member may include a first connecting member and a second connecting member, which are a pair of connecting members that are connected to both ends of the first body part and the second body part, respectively, and are positioned on both cheek areas of the user, respectively.

[0019] Additionally, the detection module may include a first detection module and a second detection module, which are a pair of detection modules that detect the tension of each of the pair of connecting members.

[0020] Additionally, the first sensing data acquired by the first detection module can be transmitted from the first communication module, which is the communication module provided in the first body part, to the main server.

[0021] Additionally, second sensing data acquired by the second detection module can be transmitted from the second communication module, which is the communication module provided in the second body part.

[0022] Additionally, the main server can derive information on the user's wearing status of the correction device by using the deviation of the first sensing data and the second sensing data.

[0023] In addition, the malocclusion correction device having a real-time monitoring function according to one embodiment of the present invention may include an occipital support part that is positioned at the occipital region of the user to support the occipital region, and is connected to the first body part and the second body part.

[0024] Meanwhile, a real-time monitoring system of a malocclusion correction device according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a malocclusion correction device having an inner bow connected to a user's teeth, an outer bow extended from the inner bow and positioned laterally on the user's cheek area, a connecting member coupled to an end of the outer bow and provided to apply tension to the user's upper jaw, a sensing module for detecting the tension, and a communication module for transmitting sensing data detected by the sensing module, and a main server for receiving the sensing data from the communication module and deriving wearing pattern information for the user's orthodontic device using the sensing data.

[0025] The above-described problem-solving methods are merely exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. In addition to the exemplary embodiments described above, additional embodiments may be included in the drawings and detailed description of the invention.

[0026] According to the above-described means for solving the problem of the present invention, a malocclusion correction device and a method for operating the same can be provided, which have a real-time monitoring function that can check the device wearing status and device wearing time for correcting the user's malocclusion.

[0027] According to the aforementioned means for solving the problem of the present invention, when a user wears a headgear-type orthodontic device, a connecting member connected to an elastic member through an inner bow connected to the user's teeth and an outer bow located on the side of the user's cheek is ligated, and by detecting the tension applied to the connecting member, the wearing status of the orthodontic device can be checked in real time, and further, the wearing time of the orthodontic device can be managed, thereby maximizing the effect of correcting the user's malocclusion.

[0028] According to the aforementioned means for solving the problem of the present invention, tension information indicating the user's wearing status of the orthodontic device is transmitted externally by a predetermined data transmission device, the magnitude and change of tension are analyzed in real time, and such sensing data is accumulated to interpret the suitability of the orthodontic force provided through the orthodontic device. In addition, the sensing data accumulated and collected for each user is converted into big data to provide guidance on tension and wearing time optimized for each individual.

[0029] However, the effects that can be obtained from this center are not limited to the effects described above, and other effects may exist.

[0038] This invention relates to a malocclusion correction device and system equipped with real-time monitoring capabilities. For example, this invention relates to a headgear that can be worn on the user's face to correct malocclusion.

[0039] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a real-time monitoring system of a malocclusion correction device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0040] Referring to FIG. 1, a real-time monitoring system (10) (hereinafter referred to as “monitoring system (10)”) of a malocclusion correction device according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a malocclusion correction device (100) (hereinafter referred to as “correction device (100)”) according to one embodiment of the present invention, a main server (200), and a user terminal (300).

[0041] The correction device (100), the main server (200), and the user terminal (300) can communicate with each other through a network (20). The network (20) refers to a connection structure that enables information exchange between each node, such as terminals and servers, and examples of such a network (20) include, but are not limited to, a 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) network, an LTE (Long Term Evolution) network, a 5G network, a WIMAX (World Interoperability for Microwave Access) network, the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), a Wireless LAN (Wireless Local Area Network), a WAN (Wide Area Network), a PAN (Personal Area Network), a wifi network, a Bluetooth network, a satellite broadcasting network, an analog broadcasting network, a DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) network, etc.

In this regard, the monitoring system (10) disclosed in the present invention may operate to analyze wearing pattern information such as the wearing status and wearing time of the correction device (100) and transmit a notification signal to the user terminal (300).

[0044] In the description of the embodiment of the present invention, the main server (200) may be a server or device that receives sensing data measured in the correction device (100) from a communication module (132) provided in the correction device (100) and derives wearing pattern information for the user's correction device (100) using the received sensing data. In addition, the main server (200) may store and manage the derived wearing pattern information for the correction device (100) of the user, and if it is determined that it is necessary to induce the user to wear the correction device (100) normally or to increase the wearing time, it may operate to transmit a notification signal related thereto through the user terminal (300).

[0045] Hereinafter, the shape, structure and function of the correction device (100) will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

[0046] Figures 2 and 3 are drawings showing the structure and shape of a malocclusion correction device according to one embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Figure 2 is a plan view of the correction device (100) disclosed in the present invention as viewed from above, and Figure 3 is a schematic perspective view of the correction device (100) disclosed in the present invention.

[0047] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the orthodontic device (100) disclosed herein may be a headgear-type device worn on a user's head for the purpose of correcting the user's malocclusion. For example, the orthodontic device (100) may be a wearable headgear.

[0048] Specifically, referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the orthodontic device (100) may include an orthodontic unit (110) including an inner bow (111) connected to the user's teeth and an outer bow (112) extending from the inner bow (111) and positioned on the side of the user's cheek area.

[0049] Additionally, referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the orthodontic device (100) may include a connecting portion (120) that is coupled to an end of the outer bow (112) and includes a connecting member (121) that is configured to apply tension to the user's upper jaw.

[0050] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of holes (1210) for inserting an end of an outer bow (112) may be formed in the connecting member (121), and by varying the hole into which the end of the outer bow (112) is inserted among the plurality of holes (1210), the amount of tension applied to the upper jaw of a user wearing the orthodontic device (100) may be adjusted. In this regard, the drawing reference numeral A of FIGS. 2 and 3 indicates an area where the end of the outer bow (112) is fastened to a hole (1210) formed in the connecting member (121).

[0051] In addition, referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the orthodontic device (100) may include a body part (130) having a detection module (131) that measures sensing data linked to tension applied to the user's upper jaw (in other words, detects tension) through a connecting member (121), an outer bow (112), an inner bow (111), etc. (in other words, detects tension), and a communication module (132) that transmits the sensing data detected by the detection module (131) to the main server (200).

[0052] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the body part (130) of the correction device (100) may include a first body part (130a) and a second body part (130b) which are positioned to be spaced apart from each other on the back of the user's head, and accordingly, the detection module (131) may also be divided into a pair of detection modules including a first detection module and a second detection module which are provided (mounted) for each of the first body part (130a) and the second body part (130b), and similarly, the communication module (132) may also be divided into a pair of communication modules including a first communication module and a second communication module which are provided (mounted) for each of the first body part (130a) and the second body part (130b).

[0053] In addition, referring to FIG. 2, the connecting member (121) may include a first connecting member and a second connecting member, which are a pair of connecting members that are connected to both ends of the first body part (130a) and the second body part (130b), respectively, and are positioned on both cheek areas of the user, respectively.

[0054] In addition, referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the correction device (100) may be positioned at the back of the user's head to support the back of the user's head, and may include a back of the head support portion (140) coupled with the first body portion (130a) and the second body portion (130b). For example, the back of the head support portion (140) may be interposed between the first body portion (130a) and the second body portion (130b) so as to interconnect the first body portion (130a) and the second body portion (130b) that are spaced apart from each other. For example, the back of the head support portion (140) may include a member in the form of a strap (Neck Strap) that comes into contact with the back of the user's skull.

[0055] In addition, although not shown in the drawing, the body part (130) may include an elastic member (not shown) that is connected to the connecting member (121) and is provided to adjust the tension applied to the upper jaw of a user wearing the orthodontic device (100). Meanwhile, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the elastic member (not shown) may be a target for the detection module (131) to measure sensing data linked to the tension applied to the upper jaw of the user, but is not limited thereto.

[0056] Below, a process for deriving wearing pattern information for a user's orthodontic device (100) by using sensing data linked to tension applied to the upper jaw of a user wearing the orthodontic device (100) will be described.

[0057] Figure 4 is a drawing showing an example of a state of wearing a malocclusion correction device according to one embodiment of the present invention and a module mounted on the malocclusion correction device.

[0058] Referring to FIG. 4, the body part (130) of the correction device (100) (more specifically, each of the first body part (130a) and the second body part (130b)) may be provided with (mounted with) a detection module (131), a communication module (132), and a control module (133).

[0059] In addition, referring to FIG. 4, each of the first body part (130a) and the second body part (130b) may be provided with a control module (133) for controlling the detection module (131) and the communication module (132). For example, the control module (133) may be an Arduino module, but is not limited thereto. In addition, although not shown in the drawing, each of the first body part (130a) and the second body part (130b) may additionally be provided with a power source (e.g., a battery, etc.) for supplying power to the detection module (131) and the communication module (132), a switch for controlling whether or not to supply power, etc.

[0060] The detection module (131) may be configured to generate sensing data by measuring tension applied to an elastic member (not shown) connected to the connection member (121) by an inner bow (111) connected to the user's teeth, an outer bow (112) connected to the inner bow (111), and a connection member (121) coupled to the outer bow (112) when the user wears the orthodontic device (100), for example. In other words, the sensing data measured by the detection module (131) may be time-series tension data according to the user's wearing of the orthodontic device (100).

[0061] The communication module (132) may operate to transmit sensing data measured by the detection module (131) to an external receiver (e.g., a main server (200) or a user terminal (300)) according to a preset data transmission cycle. For example, the communication module (132) may be a Bluetooth module, but is not limited thereto.

[0062] For example, the data transmission cycle for sensing data may be set in consideration of the remaining power of the calibration device (100), the user's calibration progress status, the appropriate wearing time for the calibration device (100), the wearing interval, etc., which are preset. As another example, the transmission cycle for sensing data may be variable (in other words, a shortened cycle may be applied compared to the existing transmission cycle) so as to be applied more strictly when an abnormal wearing pattern occurs, such as when the main server (200) detects that the user is abnormally wearing the calibration device (100) (wearing state detection) or determines that the appropriate wearing time of the calibration device (100) is not being followed (wearing time detection).

[0063] In addition, the main server (200) that receives sensing data from the correction device (100) can derive wearing pattern information for the user's correction device (100) using the collected sensing data. Specifically, the main server (200) can derive wearing pattern information including wearing status information and wearing time information of the correction device (100) using the sensing data.

[0064] In this regard, the main server (200) can derive wearing status information including information on whether the correction device (100) is worn normally so that the tension according to the sensing data matches a preset reference range.

[0065] Specifically, if the received sensing data is within a preset reference range, the main server (200) determines that the body part (130) and the outer bow (112) are normally connected by the connecting member (121), and thus detects that the correction device (100) is normally worn, and counts the duration of the state in which the correction device (100) is detected as being normally worn, and calculates the user's correction device (100) wearing time.

[0066] Meanwhile, the reference range for analyzing sensing data may be preset by taking into account the user's correction progress status, etc. In other words, the main server (200) monitors in real time the magnitude and change of tension applied to the user's upper jaw through the correction device (100) by collecting sensing data, and accumulates such sensing data to analyze the suitability of the correction force through the correction device (100).

[0067] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the main server (200) may determine an appropriate tension level and appropriate wearing time that are personalized / optimized for each user based on the tension level that changes according to the wearing of the correction device (100) based on changes in sensing data accumulated and collected for each user. For example, with respect to the appropriate tension level, the main server (200) may generate recommendation guide information to induce variable application of a hole (1210) formed in a connecting member (121) into which an end of an outer bow (112) is inserted based on changes in the pattern of sensing data of a specific user, but is not limited thereto.

[0068] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the main server (200) can receive first sensing data acquired by the first detection module from the first communication module, which is a communication module (131) provided in the first body part (130a), and similarly, can receive second sensing data acquired by the second detection module from the second communication module, which is a communication module provided in the second body part (130b).

[0069] In other words, the corrective device (100) disclosed herein operates to individually measure sensing data associated with the outer bow (112) and the connecting member (121) placed on the user's left cheek area and the sensing data associated with the outer bow (112) and the connecting member (121) placed on the user's right cheek area, which is the opposite cheek area, through the detection modules (131) mounted on each of the first body part (130a) and the second body part (130b), and independently transmit the mutually distinct sensing data (first sensing data and second sensing data) to the main server (200) through the communication modules (132) mounted on each of the first body part (130a) and the second body part (130b).

[0070] In addition, the main server (200) can derive information on the user's wearing status of the correction device (100) by using the deviation between the first sensing data and the second sensing data. For example, the main server (200) can detect that the correction device (100) is being worn abnormally if the deviation between the tension information according to the first sensing data and the tension information according to the second sensing data is greater than a preset allowable range.

[0071] In this regard, an abnormal wearing state that can be detected by using the deviation between such sensing data may include a state in which the hole (1210) of the connecting member (121) into which the outer bow (112) placed on the user's left cheek area is fastened (inserted) and the hole (1210) of the connecting member (121) into which the outer bow (112) placed on the right cheek area, which is the opposite cheek area, is fastened (inserted) are set asymmetrically (type 1 asymmetric wearing state).

[0072] As another example, an abnormal wearing state that can be detected by the main server (200) using a deviation between the first sensing data and the second sensing data may include a state in which an imbalance occurs between the elastic forces of elastic members (not shown) arranged in each of the first body part (130a) and the second body part (130b) (second type asymmetric wearing state).

[0073] As another example, an abnormal wearing state that can be detected by the main server (200) using a deviation between the first sensing data and the second sensing data may include a state in which an imbalance occurs between the protrusion ranges of the connecting member (121) extending from each of the first body part (130a) and the second body part (130b) from each of the first body part (130a) and the second body part (130b) (type 3 asymmetric wearing state).

[0074] In this regard, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the main server (200) may preset a plurality of levels of allowable ranges for comparing the deviation between tension information according to the first sensing data and tension information according to the second sensing data, so as to be able to distinguish and detect the first to third type asymmetric wearing states that can be detected using the deviation between the first sensing data and the second sensing data. In other words, the allowable range for detecting the first type asymmetric wearing state, the allowable range for detecting the second type asymmetric wearing state, and the allowable range for detecting the third type asymmetric wearing state may each be individually set according to an implementation example of the present invention.

[0075] Below, we will briefly review the operating flow of the present invention based on the detailed description above.

[0077] The real-time monitoring method for the malocclusion correction device illustrated in FIG. 5 can be performed by the orthodontic device (100) and main server (200) described above. Therefore, even if omitted below, the description of the orthodontic device (100) and main server (200) can be equally applied to the description of the real-time monitoring method for the malocclusion correction device.

[0078] Referring to FIG. 5, in step S11, the detection module (131) of the correction device (100) can measure sensing data linked to the tension applied to the upper jaw of a user wearing the correction device (100) by the correction unit (110) and the connection unit (120).

[0079] Next, in step S12, the communication module (132) of the calibration device (100) can transmit the sensing data measured through step S11 to the main server (200).

[0080] Next, in step S13, the main server (200) can derive wearing pattern information for the user's correction device (100) using the received sensing data.

[0081] In the above description, steps S11 to S13 may be further divided into additional steps or combined into fewer steps, depending on the implementation example of the present invention. Furthermore, some steps may be omitted as needed, and the order of the steps may be changed.

The computer-readable medium may include program commands, data files, data structures, etc., either singly or in combination. The program commands recorded on the medium may be those specially designed and configured for the present invention or may be those known and available to those skilled in the art of computer software.

Examples of program commands include not only machine language codes generated by a compiler, but also high-level language codes that can be executed by a computer using an interpreter, etc. The above hardware devices may be configured to operate as one or more software modules to perform the operations of the present invention, and vice versa.

[0083] Additionally, the real-time monitoring method for the aforementioned malocclusion correction device can also be implemented in the form of a computer program or application executed by a computer stored in a recording medium.
