Abstract

An orthodontic assembly comprises a molar tube, an orthodontic bracket, an arch wire (28) and a ligature device (27). Arch wire slots (3,16) are formed in a mesiodistal direction in the bracket and in the molar tube. At least one additional slot (7,21) is formed in the side wall of the arch wire slot of the bracket and of the molar tube and opens at the arch wire slot. Each additional slot starts from the mesial edge or the distal edge of the side wall of the arch wire slot. An additional slot (10) is formed in the bottom wall of the arch wire slot and opens at the arch wire slot. The intersection angle of the mesial edge of the side wall and the bottom wall of the arch wire slot is an acute angle and the intersection angle of the distal edge of the side wall and the bottom wall of the arch wire slot is an acute angle, which will be an aid for the arch wire to move along the arch wire slot after being ligatured. Different arch wires are used, and different ligature manners are adopted in cooperation, which controls the position of the arch wire in the arch wire slot and the arch wire's movement of in-and-out the additional slots, so that the teeth can be moved slantwise in the mesiodistal direction only under a light force and the root uprighting actions in both buccalingual andmesiodistal direction can be done easily without an additional arch wire.

Description

 Dental treatment device

 The present invention relates to a device for orthodontic toothing, and more particularly to a dental orthodontic device in which a bracket and an archwire are combined.

Background technique

 There are many types of orthodontic devices, the most commonly used are Begg technology and square wire technology. The combination of Begg technology and square wire bow technology has produced Tip-edge technology, and the square wire bow technology has developed the straight wire bow technology that is now commonly used. Among them, the square wire bow technique and the straight wire bow technique use an archwire slot running through the near and far direction, and the Begg technique uses an archwire slot penetrating in the vertical direction. Therefore, the Begg technology allows the teeth to be tilted at a greater angle, while the square wire technique and the straight wire technique allow for limited tilting movements only if the width of the archwire is significantly smaller than the width of the archwire slot.

 In clinical practice, we often need to move the teeth in the near and far direction to close the gap between the teeth. Usually Begg technology and Tip-edge technology first tilt the crown to the position of the gap, and then close the teeth through the near and far centering. Clear the gap and move the teeth to the correct position and inclination. The square wire bow technique and the straight wire bow technique close the gap between the teeth by the overall movement of the teeth. It is well known that the tilting movement of the teeth requires less force relative to the overall movement and takes less time.

 Begg technology and Tip-edge technology require additional positive-axis springs or additional archwires to control the roots during the root-moving tooth stage. The operation is inconvenient, and the structure is too complicated. It is not widely used in clinical practice.

 Begg technology and Tip-edge technology are usually divided into three steps to close the gap between the teeth in the near and far direction. In the first step, the teeth are arranged with a fine round arch wire. The second step is to use a hard round arch wire. Open the bite, and also use the light force to tilt the crown to the position of the gap. The third step is to use an additional positive spring or additional archwire to control the root, move the root in the near and far direction, and bring the tooth to the correct position. And angle. A dental appliance that uses the above method to move a tooth must have the functions of aligning the teeth, tilting the crown, and controlling the movement to complete the process of tooth movement. These functions cannot be performed by different appliances.

 Patent No. 4,877,398, issued October 31, 1989, discloses a dental appliance that can use light force to cause the teeth to move in a near-middle direction, without the need for extraoral force anchorage and implant anchorage. In order to strengthen the anchorage, the anterior teeth can be opened quickly and effectively, but it is more troublesome to use the additional archwire when the teeth are controlled to the root and the buccal tongue to the root.

 The proximal and distal sides of the side wall of the archwire slot of the commonly used bracket are at right angles to the bottom wall of the archwire slot, such that the ligature wire causes the archwire to be proximal to the bottom wall of the archwire slot when ligated Deformation occurs at the side and the far side, especially when the fine arch wire is used, the arch wire is deformed greatly, thereby reducing the degree of freedom of the archwire in the archwire groove, and increasing the archwire and the archwire groove bottom. The friction between the walls is not conducive to the movement of the archwire in the archwire slot.

Confirmation Summary of the invention

 The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to design a dental appliance which can use a light force to move the teeth obliquely in the near and far direction, without using the external force anchorage and planting anchorage to strengthen the anchorage; It is controlled to the near and far, without the need for additional archwires and additional positive-axis springs.

 The dental appliance of the present invention is combined with the Begg technique and the square wire arch technology, and the teeth can be tilted and moved as a whole, and the structure is simple and easy to use.

 The archwire groove in the present invention may be grooved or tubular. Because the groove of the conventional bracket is groove-shaped, some of the brackets of the bracket are tubular, such as self-locking brackets. At the same time, the archwire groove of some molar tubes is groove-shaped, but the archwire groove of the traditional molar tube is tubular. Therefore, there is no obvious difference in the shape of the bracket and the molar tube. The orthodontic device in the present invention may include a bracket and a molar tube. Since the brackets or the molar tubes are now in a variety of forms, there is no significant difference between them, and therefore, in the present invention, they are referred to as dental treatment devices.

 The claims of the present invention primarily emphasize the technical features of one or one orthodontic device, such as a bracket and a molar tube, but in particular embodiments require multiple orthodontic devices and at least one archwire interaction. Complete the tooth movement.

 In order to solve the above technical problem, one solution of the present invention is: a dental appliance having a base connected to a tooth surface and interacting with an archwire extending therethrough, at least one of which is provided in the device a traversing archwire slot, the archwire slot has a occlusal side wall and a side wall, and at least one auxiliary slot is disposed on the side wall of the archwire slot on the device, and is open to Bow groove.

 In the dental orthodontic device of this design, at least one end of each of the auxiliary grooves starts from a proximal or distal side of the side wall of the archwire slot. The other end of the auxiliary groove may penetrate the side wall in the near-distal direction, extend to the far middle or near-middle side of the other side of the side wall, or may terminate in the side wall in the near-distal direction. The other end of the auxiliary groove may also penetrate the side wall in the direction of the ridge, or may terminate in the side wall in the direction of the gingival.

 The orthodontic device using this design may be a labial orthodontic device or a lingual orthodontic device.

 The orthodontic device using this design may be a self-locking orthodontic device, or a wire bow orthodontic device or a straight wire arch orthodontic device. It can also be used in conjunction with various other prior art techniques.

 The orthodontic device using this design can be made of metal, ceramic, or plastic, or can be used in combination with any of the above materials, or can be made of any material that can be molded.

 The orthodontic device with this design can be attached to the anterior teeth, the bicuspids and the molars, and can be brackets or molar tubes.

 In the dental orthodontic device of this design, the archwire groove may be in the form of a groove or a tube.

With the tooth treatment device of this design, the side wall auxiliary groove extends in the near and far direction. According to the tooth treatment device of the design, the side wall auxiliary groove may penetrate the side wall in the near and far direction, extend to the far middle or the near side of the other side of the side wall, or may exist discontinuously, ending at Inside the side wall.

 According to the tooth treatment device of this design, the side wall auxiliary groove extends in the direction of the occlusion. According to the tooth treatment device of this design, the side wall auxiliary groove can penetrate the side wall in the direction of the tooth or can be stopped in the side wall. If the side wall groove penetrates the side wall in the direction of the tooth, the side wall groove is a pair of groove extending in the vertical direction.

 According to the tooth treatment device of the design, the side wall auxiliary groove may be disposed on the continuous occlusal side wall and/or the side wall of the occlusion, or may be disposed on the discontinuous occlusal side wall and / or the side wall of the side, so that the design of the auxiliary groove can be used on the conventional bracket.

 In the dental orthodontic device of this design, when the side wall auxiliary groove is disposed on the discontinuous occlusal side wall and/or the side wall of the occlusion, the auxiliary groove may start from the side wall of the occlusal spear And/or the medial side of the most middle segment of the crotch side wall and/or the far side of the most distal segment.

 With the orthodontic device of this design, the width of the side wall sub-groove' can be at least a portion of the width less than the width of the buccal tongue of the square arch used in the appliance. In this way, the square arch wire cannot enter the auxiliary groove, and can produce the effect of the near-distal middle direction and the buccal tongue to the root.

 With this design of the orthodontic device, the archwire bottom wall can extend into the archwire slot in the proximal and/or distal direction.

 With the tooth treatment device of this design, the side wall auxiliary groove can be the widest at the near middle or the far side of the side wall of the archwire groove, and extends in the proximal and distal directions toward the archwire slot. The process gradually narrowed.

 In the dental orthodontic device of this design, the cross-section of the side wall sub-groove in a direction perpendicular to its distal direction may be triangular, circular, trapezoidal or square. The cross-sectional shape of the same sidewall spacer may be the same or different at different locations; the cross-section may be the same or different in size.

 According to the tooth treatment device of this design, the cross-section of the side wall sub-groove in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the occlusal direction may be triangular, circular, trapezoidal or square. The cross-sectional shape of the same side wall groove may be the same or different in different parts; the cross-sectional size may be the same or different.

 The dental treatment device adopting the design can design a groove around the circumference of the dental appliance, and the groove can exist continuously or intermittently around the orthodontic device, and can be intermittently present at the four corners of the dental appliance, the groove The path of the ditch is a smooth curve or straight line, which is conducive to the "8" word ligation of the ligation wire.

 With the design of the dental appliance, the position and number of sub-grooves can be designed in several ways.

 1. At least one auxiliary groove starts from a far side of the side wall of the archwire molar joint;

 2. at least one auxiliary groove starts from the near side of the side wall of the archwire slot;

3. At least one auxiliary groove starts from a near middle side of the sidewall of the archwire molar joint; 4. At least one auxiliary groove starts from the far side of the side wall of the archwire slot;

 5. Combination of the above two or more schemes;

 6. Use the auxiliary groove only on some teeth (such as fangs and / or double cusps);

 During the treatment, the round arch wire in the bracket archwire slot gradually enters the side wall auxiliary groove of the archwire slot, and the teeth are tilted and moved, and the support force required to move the teeth during the escape is small. Tube, the molars move as a whole, and the resulting anchorage is large, so that strong anchorage can be achieved without using the extraoral arch and plant anchorage; the other case is that if the square archwire is used, it cannot enter. Dental treatment devices (such as brackets or molar tubes) The side wall sub-grooves of the archwire slot, the teeth produce root movements that allow the tilted teeth to be vertical. The position and shape of the side wall groove in the archwire groove, the shape of the archwire groove, the ligation method and the shape and thickness of the arch wire can affect whether the arch wire can enter the auxiliary groove of the archwire groove. The width and depth of the side wall groove and the shape and thickness of the archwire can also control the depth of the archwire into the side wall groove, control the angle between the archwire and the centerline of the archwire groove, thereby controlling the teeth. The maximum degree of tilt.

 In another case, during the treatment, the round arch wire gradually enters the auxiliary groove of the arch tube of the molar tube, and the molars are inclined to move. At this time, the anchorage required for moving the molar is small; if the square arch wire is used, it does not enter. The slanted molars of the molar tube arch slot sub-groove, the teeth produce control and move, 'can make the inclined molars vertical.

 The invention adopts the design of the side wall auxiliary groove on the bracket and the molar tube, thereby greatly improving the movable range of the round arch wire in the archwire groove, which is beneficial to the oblique movement of the tooth, and is favorable for opening the deep overbite, It is beneficial to use light force to move the teeth without the use of implant anchorage or extraoral force anchorage. In the same archwire slot, the round arch wire can enter the side wall sub-groove of the archwire slot. The square arch wire cannot enter the side wall sub-groove of the archwire slot, and the teeth produce root movement, which can make the inclined teeth vertical. . In this way, in the same archwire slot, different tooth movements are produced by using different archwires, and the structure is greatly simplified and easy to operate compared to the conventional tooth tilting movement correction device. Traditional tooth tilting and moving devices, such as Begg or Ti p-Edge, are complicated in the process of root treatment. Begg and Tip-Edge appliances use additional springs or additional archwires to move the roots. The structure is complicated and the operation is inconvenient. .

 The other aspects of the present invention are mainly used to control the position of the dental arch in the archwire slot, because the movement of the teeth includes three stages of alignment, tilting, and root control. The dental appliance of the present invention is in the alignment and rooting stage. To prevent the archwire from entering the side wall groove of the archwire slot, we need to promote the archwire into the side wall groove of the archwire slot during the tilting movement of the tooth. We have designed to prevent the round arch wire from entering the side wall auxiliary groove of the archwire slot during the alignment stage, such as designing the auxiliary groove on the bottom wall of the archwire groove, and limiting the round arch wire to the bottom wall auxiliary groove in the alignment stage. In the ditch. We have some designs to promote the archwire to enter the side wall sub-groove of the archwire slot at the stage of tilting the tooth. For example, the proximal and distal sides of the side wall of the archwire are at an acute angle to the bottom wall to guide the teeth. The archwire enters the side wall groove of the archwire slot. At the same time, the position of the archwire in the archwire slot can be adjusted by the method of tying or tying as needed.

A second aspect of the present invention is: a dental treatment device having a base connected to a tooth surface and interacting with an archwire extending therethrough, at least one of which is disposed in the proximal and distal directions An archwire slot, the archwire slot has a occlusal side wall and a side wall, and at least a portion of the proximal and distal sides of the archwire slot sidewall of the device are at an acute angle to the bottom wall . When the near middle and the far side are arcs, the tangent line forms an acute angle with the bottom wall. When the near middle and the far side are irregular lines, the strike is at an acute angle to the bottom wall. It is also possible that only a portion of the near center and the far side intersect the bottom wall at an acute angle.

 In clinical terms, the shorter the proximal and distal lengths of the archwire of the bracket and the molar tube, the greater the range of motion of the archwire, and the more likely the tooth is tilted, the near side of the side wall of the archwire of the present invention. The far side has an acute angle with the bottom wall, so that the bottom of the archwire slot has a constant length in the near and far center, and the length of the middle or upper middle portion of the archwire slot is shortened. In the case of the tying loosening or self-locking orthodontic device, the rounded archwire is guided into the middle or upper part of the archwire slot through the proximal and distal edges of the inclined archwire slot sidewall, because the archwire The middle or upper part of the trough is short in length and the distance between the teeth, and the teeth can be tilted. At the same time, we design the side wall of the archwire slot in the middle of the archwire slot, and the round arch wire can also enter the side wall slot. Ditch, so that the teeth can move to a greater extent.

 The orthodontic device using this design may be a labial orthodontic device or a lingual orthodontic device.

 The orthodontic device using this design may be a self-locking dental treatment device, or a square wire dental appliance or a straight wire dental appliance. It can also be used in conjunction with various other prior art techniques.

 The orthodontic device using this design can be made of metal, ceramic, or plastic, or a combination of the above materials, or any material that can be molded.

 The orthodontic device with this design can be attached to the anterior teeth, the bicuspids and the molars, and can be brackets or molar tubes.

 In the dental orthodontic device of this design, the archwire groove may be in the form of a groove or a tube.

 With this design of the orthodontic device, the side wall of the archwire groove can be trapezoidal, arcuate, or stepped.

 With the tooth treatment device of this design, the ligation device adopts a method of ligating the wing, and the side wall of the archwire groove may have one or more pairs of ligating wings.

 With the dental appliance of this design, the ligation device can adopt the method of ligating the wing, and the side wall of the archwire slot can have three pairs of ligating wings, one pair is located in the middle of the top of the side wall, and the other two pairs of ligating wings are respectively located in the archwire The top and the far of the top of the side wall of the slot protrude outward.

 With the dental appliance of this design, the ligation device can adopt the method of ligating the wing, the side wall of the archwire slot has three pairs of ligating wings, one pair is located in the middle of the top of the side wall, and protrudes outward, and the other two pairs of ligating wings On the two sides of the top of the side wall, a pair of ligature wings located near the center protrudes in the vicinity, and a pair of ligature wings located in the far side protrudes far in the middle.

With the dental treatment device of this design, the side wall or part of the side wall of the archwire slot can be designed as a trapezoidal, circular arc or stepped shape, or the side of the archwire slot can be used only on the device for correcting the teeth of a part of the teeth. The wall is designed to be trapezoidal, circular or stepped.

 Thus, after the ligation wire is tightened, the pressure of the ligation wire to the lower arch wire is directly transmitted to the bottom wall of the archwire under the arch wire, and the arch wire is not deformed due to the too tight ligation, thereby reducing the deformation. The friction between the archwire and the archwire is easy to move in the archwire slot, which facilitates the entry of the archwire into the secondary groove. At the same time, the near side and the far side of the side wall of the inclined archwire are at an acute angle with the bottom wall, and the ligature wire can be guided into the side wall groove of the archwire slot when the ligature wire is loosely tied, which is beneficial to the teeth. The tilt moves.

 A third aspect of the present invention is: a device for orthodontic treatment, the base of which is coupled to the surface of the tooth and interacts with the archwire extending therethrough, and the device is provided with at least one bow extending in the near and far direction a wire groove, wherein the archwire groove comprises a sweet side wall, a side wall and a bottom wall, and at least one auxiliary groove is arranged on the bottom wall of the arch wire groove and opens in the bow Silk groove.

 In the process of aligning the teeth, we usually use a thin round arch wire, at which point we do not want the arch wire to enter the side wall groove of the archwire slot. The thin round arch wire in the archwire slot can enter the auxiliary groove on the bottom wall of the archwire slot when the ligation wire is tightly tied, and the thin round arch wire is also confined in the auxiliary groove on the bottom wall of the archwire slot. Therefore, the arch wire cannot enter the side wall auxiliary groove of the archwire slot, and the clearance between the round arch wire and the bottom wall of the arch wire groove is small, so the alignment effect is good.

 The orthodontic device using this design may be a labial orthodontic device or a lingual orthodontic device.

 The orthodontic device using this design may be a self-locking orthodontic device, or a wire bow orthodontic device or a straight wire arch orthodontic device. It can also be used in conjunction with various other prior art techniques.

 The orthodontic device using this design can be made of metal, ceramic, or plastic, or a combination of the above materials, or any material that can be molded.

 The orthodontic device with this design can be attached to the anterior teeth, the bicuspids and the molars, and can be brackets or molar tubes.

 In the dental orthodontic device of this design, the archwire groove may be in the form of a groove or a tube.

 With the dental treatment device of this design, the bottom wall sub-groove can also end in the bottom wall in the near and far direction.

 With the dental treatment device of this design, the auxiliary groove of the bottom wall of the archwire groove penetrates the bottom wall in the near and far direction, and communicates with the archwire groove in the entire stroke in the near-distal direction.

 With the tooth treatment device of the design, the width of the sub-groove of the bottom wall can be at least in a portion smaller than the width of the occlusion of the square arch wire used in the appliance, so the square arch wire The sub-groove is not entered, but the round arch wire can enter the sub-groove.

With the dental appliance of this design, the cross-section of the bottom wall sub-groove in a direction perpendicular to the near and far directions may be triangular, trapezoidal, curved, square or inverted triangle. With the tooth treatment device of this design, the shape and area of each cross section of the bottom wall auxiliary groove in the direction perpendicular to the near and far directions may be the same or may not be uniform.

 With this design of the orthodontic device, the bottom wall of the archwire slot can extend into the archwire slot in the proximal and/or distal direction.

 A fourth aspect of the present invention is: a device for orthodontic treatment, the base of which is coupled to the surface of the tooth and interacts with the archwire extending therethrough, and the device is provided with at least one bow extending in the near and far direction The wire slot, the archwire slot includes a side wall, a side wall and a bottom wall, and a pair of connecting wings are arranged on the device, respectively located on the occlusal side wall and the side wall of the archwire slot Above, its near-distal length is significantly smaller than the near-distal length of the archwire slot.

 With this design of the orthodontic device, the wire can be provided in the middle and far of the connecting wing.

 The orthodontic device with this design can be adhered to the cheek side of the tooth or to the lingual side of the tooth. ·

 The orthodontic device using this design may be a labial orthodontic device or a lingual orthodontic device.

 At this time, there can be two kinds of connection methods, one is loose connection, referring to FIG. 26 and FIG. 27, the connection wire is passed through the ligature groove and the connection wing of the near middle and the far center of the connection wing, so that The restriction on the dental arch wire is small, the dental arch wire can enter the auxiliary groove in the middle of the side wall of the archwire groove, which is favorable for the oblique movement of the tooth; the other is the immediate connection, referring to FIG. 24 and FIG. 25, the wire is connected. From the near side of the bracket and the far side of the bracket, the restriction on the archwire is large, and the archwire can not enter the auxiliary groove in the middle of the side wall of the archwire slot, which is beneficial to the alignment of the teeth.

The above four solutions are combined with each other to realize a basic concept of the present invention. According to the solution, the molar tube is adhered to the buccal surface of the molar, and the bracket is adhered to the bicuspid surface and the anterior labial surface, in the bracket According to the second embodiment, the side wall and the far side of the side wall of the archwire slot of the bracket are at an acute angle with the bottom wall, and after the ligature wire is tightened, The friction between the archwire and the archwire of the bracket is small, the archwire is easy to move in the archwire slot, and the proximal and distal sides of the inclined archwire side wall are loosened in the ligature wire.
