Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of orthodontic appliances in stomatology, in particular to a bracket-free invisible appliance.

Background

The bracket-free invisible orthodontic device is a transparent elastic material movable orthodontic device designed and manufactured by computer assistance, is a sequence of continuous orthodontic devices, and achieves the aim of orthodontic by continuous small-range tooth movement. Only some of the teeth may be moved in different stages while the other teeth act as anchorage, thereby completing the straightening of the teeth.

The bracket-free invisible appliance achieves the aim of correcting the position of teeth by applying pressure to the surface of the teeth through elastic materials. Because the forces act in concert, the appliance exerts pressure on the tooth surfaces while the teeth exert opposing forces on the appliance. The inner cavity of the appliance is in surface contact with the crown 51 of the tooth and the tooth will develop a plurality of different directional and different magnitude reaction forces against the appliance. The existing appliance is made of elastic materials, local deformation and overall deformation can occur under the condition that a plurality of reaction forces are continuously applied to teeth, wherein the local deformation refers to the deformation of the contact position of the inner cavity of the appliance and the teeth, and the overall deformation refers to the deformation along the direction of dental arches. After the appliance deforms, the contact position and the force application direction of the appliance and teeth are changed difficultly, and the correction capability is reduced or the correction effect is lost. The correcting force applied by the buccal side pushes the tooth body to the lingual side while the corrector is worn, so that the contact position of the lingual side and the tooth body is changed difficultly to be predicted, and the pressure direction and the pressure of the corrector on the lingual side are changed difficultly to be predicted. Because the buccal side is greater than the lingual side under the stress of the tooth body, the tooth body can generate tongue inclination, and the originally applied force of the appliance on the buccal side is weakened. Furthermore, the movement of the teeth after being stressed is accompanied by various complicated and unpredictable movements such as rotation, elongation and depression, and the magnitude and direction of the applied force, especially the direction, are changed. The force application radius of the bracket-free invisible appliance is small, the deformation amplitude is small and is mostly smaller than 0.25mm, so that the tooth position and the appliance position are slightly changed, and the force application size and direction of the appliance are greatly influenced. In terms of the overall structure of the dental arch, the appliance cannot be deformed too much in consideration of the difficulty in wearing the appliance, so that the appliance has a weak effect on changing the form of the dental arch. In the vertical direction, when the anterior teeth need to be inwards received, the appliance in the anterior tooth zone needs to be excessively pressed down and rotated, the position deformation of the premolar can be increased, and the sleeve-removing phenomenon is easy to occur if the height of the dental crown of the premolar is not large. And too large deformation can lead to small deformation of each part of the appliance, and the deformation is difficult to predict, thereby bringing difficulty to computer design.

When the existing appliance is used for correcting the tooth form, the inner cavity of the appliance is in surface contact with the tooth surface, the pressure formed by the surface-to-surface contact is always perpendicular to the contact surface, and because the contact surface is an arc surface, a plurality of pressures with different angles and different sizes are formed at each position of the contact surface, wherein one part of the pressures can promote the tooth to move in the expected direction and is called as effective force, and the other part of the pressures can not promote the tooth to move in the expected direction and is called as ineffective force. The pressure provided by the orthosis is limited, resulting in a substantial reduction in effective force due to the ineffectiveness. Inefficacy disturbs effective power, prevents that the tooth from moving toward the direction of expectation, further reduces and corrects efficiency, and simultaneously, inefficacy's reaction force can increase the local deformation and the whole deformation of correcting the ware, further reduces and corrects the ability.
