Technical Field

The invention relates to an appliance with a function of accelerating movement of orthodontic teeth, in particular to an orthodontic tooth movement accelerating working head which can be interchangeably matched with an electric toothbrush, and is particularly convenient for a patient to use at home.

Background

In order to improve the beauty and occlusion function of oral teeth, the demand of orthodontics for teeth is increasing due to unsatisfactory arrangement form of teeth. The current appliances can be fixed appliances and invisible appliances which can be taken off and worn. It has been proved that, on the basis of using these appliances to perform static orthodontic correction, by applying a moderate vibration force to the teeth to be orthodontic, the moving speed of the teeth to be corrected can be significantly accelerated, and the efficiency and effect of orthodontic correction can be improved. Therefore, in chinese patent publication No. CN103211658A, an orthodontic accelerator is proposed, which comprises a vibrator comprising a microchip, a circuit board, a micro-motor, an eccentric wheel, etc., and a display screen and a dental tray. But the structure is complex, the volume is large, the specialization is strong, and the patient can not use the device by himself. In order to solve the problem, CN108542520A proposes an orthodontic sheath capable of being sleeved on a mobile phone for use, and the purpose of vibration treatment of orthodontic teeth is achieved by using vibration generated when the mobile phone is in a ringing state. The mouth cavity is put in the mobile phone after the mobile phone is sleeved with the mouth cavity and the mobile phone is used after being occluded by teeth, the size of the mobile phone is usually large, the mobile phone is inconvenient and uncomfortable to use when being put in the mouth cavity, the application range is limited, saliva and moisture in the mouth cavity cause a plurality of adverse effects on the mobile phone in the treatment process, and conflict with the normal use of the mobile phone is generated.

Disclosure of Invention

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides an orthodontic tooth movement accelerating working head which has a simple structure, is flexible and convenient to use, and can be matched with an electric toothbrush, and particularly, the working head can be used by a patient at home, so that the purpose of one object with multiple purposes is achieved, and the cost of use is reduced.

The invention relates to an orthodontic tooth movement accelerating working head capable of being matched with an electric toothbrush, which is structurally characterized in that an insertion space capable of accommodating a transmission head of a vibration handle is arranged in a medical elastic material body with opposite tooth occlusal surfaces, and the extending far end of the vibration handle is provided with a connecting structure capable of being matched and connected with a vibration output end of the electric toothbrush, such as a connecting structure in a common form in the electric toothbrush, such as threads, buckles and the like. The medical elastic material body has moderate hardness so as to effectively transmit the vibration from the electric toothbrush vibration mechanism to the corrected teeth and the deep alveolar bone thereof, has moderate elastic softness for avoiding discomfort of patients, and has no toxic or side effect on human bodies. Currently, medical grade silica gel bodies that are already in widespread use may be preferred.

In the structure of the orthodontic tooth movement accelerating working head, the medical elastic material body and the vibrating handle transmission head inserted into the medical elastic material body can adopt a non-detachable fixed structure, namely the medical elastic material body and the vibrating handle of the orthodontic tooth movement accelerating working head are of an integral structure, and a better mode is that a detachable assembly structure is adopted between the medical elastic material body and the vibrating handle transmission head inserted into the medical elastic material body. The specific detachable assembly mode can include that the friction force is directly and tightly contacted with each other through rough matching surfaces of the detachable assembled type, so that the detachable assembled type can keep mutually stable, or connecting structures which can enable the detachable assembled type to be mutually positioned through common threads, contact beads, concave-convex teeth and the like are arranged among the matching parts of the detachable assembled type, so that the detachable assembled type can keep stable in the using process and cannot slide out or fall off.

The dental arch of a normal person is in the shape of a parabola-like arc and comprises a curved dental arch front section and a relatively straight dental arch rear section. In order to better adapt to different positions and/or numbers of teeth involved in orthodontic correction and aimed at, the specific form of the orthodontic tooth movement accelerating working head which can be matched with the electric toothbrush in an interchangeable way in the structure can be divided and selected more finely, so that series products which can be used for adapting to different people and/or different conditions can be formed. For example, in order to adapt to orthodontic treatment for a relatively flat dental arch posterior segment or for a relatively small number of even single teeth, the medical elastic material body in the above structure may be in the form of a sleeve structure in a straight line or a substantially straight line of different lengths, or in the form of a sleeve structure having a curved extension form adapted to a partially arc-shaped dental arch segment, wherein the insertion space for accommodating the transmission head of the vibration handle may be in the form of a blind hole having an open end in the direction of linear extension or curved extension thereof. In order to adapt to orthodontic correction of teeth at the front section of the dental arch or the whole dental arch part at the arc-shaped part, the medical elastic material body in the orthodontic tooth movement accelerating working head can be a structure body with an arc-shaped tooth occlusal surface adapted to the front section of the dental arch or the whole dental arch, and the insertion space capable of accommodating the transmission head of the vibration handle can be arranged at the arc-shaped top position of the arc-shaped structure body.

In order to further improve the transmission effect of effective vibration to the medical elastic material body with a long extension length (such as the arc-shaped elastic material body which is adapted to the front section of the dental arch or the whole dental arch), a hard vibration transmission structure with a proper form and length of metal, plastic and the like which is adapted to the shape of the medical elastic material body and can be matched with the transmission head of the vibration handle accommodated in the insertion space can be further arranged in the medical elastic material body of the structure body according to the situation. It and vibration handle transmission head within a definite time, also can adopt if screw thread, buckle, even direct unsmooth top contact etc. convenient structure or mode mutually support.

The oral orthodontic tooth movement accelerating working head capable of being matched with the electric toothbrush and the conventional electric toothbrush belong to appliances for nursing oral teeth; the working principle is also approximately the same, and the toothbrush head or the orthodontic teeth move to accelerate the working head to generate vibration through the vibration mechanism so as to clean or treat the teeth. The toothbrush head and the orthodontic tooth can not conflict with each other in actual use, and the purpose of complementation can be achieved by conveniently moving the toothbrush head and the orthodontic tooth to accelerate the exchange of the working heads, so that the toothbrush is more convenient to use, multiple purposes are realized, a large amount of cost and time are saved for a patient, and the patient can conveniently use the toothbrush at home. Moreover, during orthodontic treatment, a patient bites the upper and lower teeth onto the occlusal surface of the medical elastic material body of the orthodontic tooth movement accelerating working head, and the teeth are properly vibrated by the adjusting function of the vibration frequency, the vibration size and the like of the conventional electric toothbrush, so that the aims of accelerating bone reconstruction and improving orthodontic treatment efficiency are fulfilled, and the electric toothbrush is time-saving, labor-saving, convenient and effective.

The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments thereof as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. This should not be understood as limiting the scope of the above-described subject matter of the present invention to the following examples. Various substitutions and alterations according to the general knowledge and conventional practice in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention as described above.
