本发明涉及一种齿颚矫正技术；特别是涉及一种齿颚矫正装置。The invention relates to an orthodontic technology; in particular, it relates to an orthodontic device.
背景技术Background technique
一般而言，病患需要齿颚矫正(Orthognathic Correction)的主要原因，是由于其上、下颚骨之间的颞颚关节(temporomandibular joint，TMJ)未处于适当的位置(optimumposition)，从而导致上、下颚骨之间的相对位置异常。Generally speaking, the main reason why patients need orthodontic correction (Orthognathic Correction) is that the temporomandibular joint (temporomandibular joint, TMJ) between the upper and lower jaws is not in the proper position (optimumposition), resulting in The relative position between the jawbones is abnormal.
参见图1A及图1B，其显示常见的病患的头骨40、上颚骨10及下颚骨20的相对关系示意图。其中，上颚骨10固定地连接于头骨40，下颚骨20通过颞颚关节30活动地连接于头骨40。同时，上颚骨10与上颚牙弓12连接，且下颚骨20与下颚牙弓22连接。当病患的上、下颚骨10及20之间的颞颚关节30未处于适当的位置时，可能导致下颚骨20相对于上颚骨10过于前凸(图1A)或者下颚骨20相对于上颚骨10过于后缩(图1B)的情况，从而使得上、下颚牙弓12及22发生咬合不正，如此不仅影响牙齿的美观性，严重者更会影响咀嚼、发音、蛀牙、牙齿异常磨损等口腔的功能及健康。Referring to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B , they are schematic diagrams showing the relative relationship among the skull 40 , the maxilla 10 and the mandible 20 of common patients. Wherein, the maxilla 10 is fixedly connected to the skull 40 , and the mandible 20 is movably connected to the skull 40 through the temporomandibular joint 30 . Simultaneously, the upper jaw bone 10 is connected with the upper jaw dental arch 12 , and the lower jaw bone 20 is connected with the lower jaw dental arch 22 . When the patient's temporomandibular joint 30 between the upper and lower jaws 10 and 20 is not in the proper position, it may result in the mandible 20 being too protruding relative to the maxilla 10 (Figure 1A) or the mandible 20 relative to the maxilla 10 Too much retraction (Fig. 1B), resulting in malocclusion of the upper and lower dental arches 12 and 22, which not only affects the aesthetics of the teeth, but also affects chewing, pronunciation, tooth decay, abnormal tooth wear, etc. function and health.
目前医师大多利用切骨手术(osteotomy)，先切开病患上颚骨、下颚骨或者双颚的骨头，接着将切开后的断骨重组至需求的位置，以达到齿颚矫正的目的。然而，该手术方法除了需要医师的优良技术之外，其困难处往往在于容易造成病患心生恐惧，以致放弃治疗行为。At present, doctors mostly use osteotomy to cut open the patient's upper jaw, mandible or double jaw bones, and then reorganize the broken bones to the required position to achieve the purpose of orthodontics. However, in addition to the excellent technique of the physician, the difficulty of this surgical method is that it is easy to cause fear in the patient's heart, so as to give up the treatment behavior.

接着请参见图3A及图3B，其分别显示本发明一实施例的第一定位器100装于病患上颚牙弓的示意图，以及第二定位器200装于病患下颚牙弓的示意图。Next, please refer to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B , which respectively show a schematic view of the first positioner 100 installed on the patient's maxillary arch and a schematic view of the second positioner 200 installed on the patient's mandibular dental arch according to an embodiment of the present invention.
值得一提的是，当本实施例的第一定位器100及第二定位器200分别配戴于上、下颚牙弓时，可大致包覆上、下颚牙弓的整个牙冠。更具体而言，第一定位器100及第二定位器200可依据上、下颚牙弓的倒凹(undercut)结构来设计，以使得第一定位器100及第二定位器200顺应地包覆上、下颚牙弓的整个牙冠，从而强化第一定位器100及第二定位器200卡合于上、下颚牙弓的力量，以避免第一定位器100及第二定位器200在齿颚矫正过程中轻易地脱离上、下颚牙弓。It is worth mentioning that when the first positioner 100 and the second positioner 200 of this embodiment are respectively worn on the upper and lower dental arches, they can roughly cover the entire crowns of the upper and lower dental arches. More specifically, the first locator 100 and the second locator 200 can be designed according to the undercut structure of the upper and lower dental arches, so that the first locator 100 and the second locator 200 conformably wrap The entire crown of the upper and lower dental arches, so as to strengthen the force of the first locator 100 and the second locator 200 on the upper and lower dental arches, so as to prevent the first locator 100 and the second locator 200 from Easily detach from the upper and lower dental arches during the correction process.
如图3A所示，本实施例的第一定位器100的第一咬合面B1上还可形成有一增厚部102以及多个增厚部104，其中增厚部102的位置对应于上颚牙弓的两颗门牙12A及两颗侧门牙12B(请一并参见图2)，而增厚部104的位置分别对应于上颚牙弓中的左右各一颗犬齿12C、第一小臼齿12D及第二小臼齿12E(请一并参见图2)。再者，增厚部102形成有由门牙12A及12B顶部朝向一颚侧T渐低的一导引面，且该些增厚部104也形成有由其最厚部分(对应于该些犬齿12C、第一小臼齿12D及第二小臼齿12E的中心处)朝向其最薄部分(牙齿邻接处)渐低的多个导引面。上述增厚部102及增厚部104的导引面可为平面或曲面。As shown in FIG. 3A , a thickened portion 102 and a plurality of thickened portions 104 can also be formed on the first occlusal surface B1 of the first positioner 100 of this embodiment, wherein the position of the thickened portion 102 corresponds to the maxillary dental arch Two incisors 12A and two lateral incisors 12B (please refer to Fig. 2 together), and the positions of the thickened part 104 correspond to the left and right canines 12C, the first premolar 12D and the second Premolar 12E (see also Figure 2). Furthermore, the thickened portion 102 is formed with a leading surface gradually lowered toward a jaw side T from the top of the incisors 12A and 12B, and the thickened portions 104 are also formed with the thickest portion (corresponding to the canines 12C) , the center of the first premolar 12D and the second premolar 12E) towards the thinnest part (tooth abutment) leading surfaces that taper down. The guide surfaces of the thickened portion 102 and the thickened portion 104 can be flat or curved.
类似地，如图3B所示，本实施例的第二定位器200的第二咬合面B2上还可形成有多个增厚部204，其中增厚部204的位置分别对应于下颚牙弓中的左右各一颗第一小臼齿22A及第二小臼齿22B(请一并参见图2)，且其最厚部分对应于该些第一小臼齿22A及第二小臼齿22B的中心处。Similarly, as shown in FIG. 3B , a plurality of thickened portions 204 may also be formed on the second occlusal surface B2 of the second positioner 200 of this embodiment, where the positions of the thickened portions 204 correspond to the positions of the mandibular dental arch. There is a first premolar 22A and a second premolar 22B on the left and right (please also refer to FIG. 2 ), and the thickest part corresponds to the center of the first premolar 22A and the second premolar 22B.
需特别说明的是，本文中所使用的增厚部一词是表示，在第一咬合面B1对应于增厚部102及104的位置的厚度可大于在第一咬合面B1的其余位置的厚度，且在第二咬合面B2对应于增厚部204的位置的厚度可大于在第二咬合面B2的其余位置的厚度。It should be noted that the term "thickened part" used herein means that the thickness of the positions corresponding to the thickened parts 102 and 104 on the first occlusal surface B1 may be greater than the thickness of other positions on the first occlusal surface B1 , and the thickness at the position corresponding to the thickened portion 204 on the second occlusal surface B2 may be greater than the thickness at other positions on the second occlusal surface B2.
在本实施例中，第一定位器100、增厚部102及104可以一体成型的方式制作，或使用合成树脂、合成玻璃树脂(Glass Ionomer)或其他适合用于口腔的耐磨材料先制作增厚部102及104，再以黏贴方式固定于第一定位器100的第一咬合面B1上。同理，第二定位器200及增厚部204可以一体成型的方式制作，或使用合成树脂、合成玻璃树脂或其他适合用于口腔的耐磨材料先制作增厚部204，再以黏贴方式固定于第二定位器200的第二咬合面B2上。In this embodiment, the first positioner 100, the thickening parts 102 and 104 can be manufactured in an integrated manner, or the thickening parts can be manufactured using synthetic resin, synthetic glass resin (Glass Ionomer) or other wear-resistant materials suitable for the oral cavity. The thick parts 102 and 104 are then fixed on the first occlusal surface B1 of the first positioner 100 by adhesive. Similarly, the second locator 200 and the thickening part 204 can be manufactured in an integrated manner, or the thickening part 204 can be fabricated using synthetic resin, synthetic glass resin or other wear-resistant materials suitable for the oral cavity, and then pasted It is fixed on the second occlusal surface B2 of the second positioner 200 .
进一步说明的是，当病患戴上本实施例的齿颚矫正装置，且第一定位器100的第一咬合面B1接触第二定位器200的第二咬合面B2时，第二定位器200的对应于下颚牙弓中两颗门牙及两颗侧门牙的定位器子单元202及202’(图2、图3B)可接触第一定位器100上的增厚部102(图3A)，而第二定位器200上的该些增厚部204(图3B)可接触第一定位器100上的该些增厚部104(图3A)。It is further explained that when the patient wears the orthodontic device of this embodiment, and the first occlusal surface B1 of the first locator 100 contacts the second occlusal surface B2 of the second locator 200 , the second locator 200 The locator subunits 202 and 202' (Fig. 2, Fig. 3B) corresponding to the two incisors and the two side incisors in the lower jaw dental arch can contact the thickened part 102 (Fig. 3A) on the first locator 100, and The thickened portions 204 ( FIG. 3B ) on the second positioner 200 can contact the thickened portions 104 on the first positioner 100 ( FIG. 3A ).
请参见图4，其显示本实施例的齿颚矫正装置的工作原理示意图。通过上述结构设计，当第一定位器100的第一咬合面接触第二定位器200的第二咬合面时，第一定位器100的第一咬合面上的增厚部102及104可形成多个导引块，而第二定位器200的第二咬合面上的定位器子单元202及202’及增厚部204可接触导引块102及104的导引面(为了简化附图，图4中仅显示单一个导引面及接触点)。此时，在弹性件500(图2)提供的弹力驱动下，可使得第二定位器200沿着上述导引面相对于第一定位器100进行滑动(如图4中的箭头所示)，由此以带动连接第二定位器200的下颚骨20相对于连接第一定位器100的上颚骨10移动，并促使颞颚关节30回到适当的位置，以达到齿颚矫正的目的。Please refer to FIG. 4 , which shows a schematic diagram of the working principle of the orthodontic device of this embodiment. Through the above structural design, when the first occlusal surface of the first locator 100 contacts the second occlusal surface of the second locator 200, the thickened portions 102 and 104 on the first occlusal surface of the first locator 100 can form multiple a guide block, and the locator subunits 202 and 202' and the thickened part 204 on the second occlusal surface of the second locator 200 can contact the guide surfaces of the guide blocks 102 and 104 (in order to simplify the drawings, Fig. 4 only shows a single guide surface and contact point). At this time, driven by the elastic force provided by the elastic member 500 ( FIG. 2 ), the second locator 200 can slide relative to the first locator 100 along the above-mentioned guide surface (as shown by the arrow in FIG. 4 ), by This drives the mandible 20 connected to the second positioner 200 to move relative to the maxilla 10 connected to the first positioner 100 , and prompts the temporomandibular joint 30 to return to an appropriate position to achieve the purpose of orthognathic correction.
其中，当弹性件的弹力驱使第二定位器200相对于第一定位器100向后向上(Y轴、Z轴间的方向)移动时，可改善如图1A所示病患下颚骨20相对于上颚骨10过于前凸的情况；反之，当弹性件的弹力驱使第二定位器200相对于第一定位器100向前向下(-Y轴、-Z轴间的方向)移动时，则可改善如图1B所示病患下颚骨20相对于上颚骨10过于后缩的情况。Wherein, when the elastic force of the elastic member drives the second locator 200 to move backward and upward (the direction between the Y axis and the Z axis) relative to the first locator 100, the relative position of the patient's mandible 20 as shown in FIG. 1A can be improved. The upper jawbone 10 is too protruding; on the contrary, when the elastic force of the elastic member drives the second locator 200 to move forward and downward relative to the first locator 100 (the direction between the -Y axis and the -Z axis), it can Improve the situation that the mandible 20 of the patient is too retracted relative to the maxilla 10 as shown in FIG. 1B .
虽然上述实施例中的多个导引块及导引面形成于第一定位器100的第一咬合面B1上，但该些导引块及导引面也可形成于第二定位器200的第二咬合面B2上。Although the plurality of guide blocks and guide surfaces in the above embodiments are formed on the first occlusal surface B1 of the first positioner 100, these guide blocks and guide surfaces can also be formed on the second positioner 200. On the second occlusal surface B2.
另外，第一定位器100的增厚部102、104及第二定位器200的增厚部204的设置位置及数量不以图3A及图3B的实施例为限制，其可根据病患状况而做调整。In addition, the setting position and quantity of the thickened portions 102, 104 of the first positioner 100 and the thickened portion 204 of the second positioner 200 are not limited to the embodiments shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. make adjustments.
值得一提的是，在病患下颚骨20相对于上颚骨10过于前凸的情况下，上颚牙弓12中的第二大臼齿12F往往容易阻挡到下颚牙弓22中的第二大臼齿12C(图1A)，导致装于下颚牙弓22的第二定位器200被装于上颚牙弓12的第一定位器100所卡住，进而使得下颚骨20无法顺利地相对于上颚骨10向后向上(Y轴、Z轴间的方向)移动以进行齿颚矫正。It is worth mentioning that, when the patient's mandible 20 is too protruding relative to the maxilla 10 , the second molar 12F in the maxillary arch 12 tends to easily block the second molar 12C in the mandibular arch 22 (FIG. 1A), the second locator 200 mounted on the mandibular dental arch 22 is blocked by the first locator 100 mounted on the maxillary dental arch 12, so that the mandible 20 cannot smoothly move backward relative to the maxillary bone 10. Move upward (direction between Y-axis and Z-axis) for orthodontic correction.
因此，参见图3A及图3B，第一定位器100的第一咬合面B1上还可形成有两个开孔106，用以暴露上颚牙弓12中的左右各一颗第二大臼齿12F，且第二定位器200的第二咬合面B2上还可设有两个隔开件206，分别对应于第一定位器100的开孔106。需特别说明的是，当第一定位器100的第一咬合面B1接触第二定位器200的第二咬合面B2时，该些隔开件206可通过该些开孔106并顶靠该些第二大臼齿12F，以将该些第二大臼齿12F朝上推动，并使得第一定位器100与第二定位器200之间的空间增加。如此一来，可排除上述第二定位器200被第一定位器100所卡住的问题，从而本实施例的齿颚矫正装置能够顺利地调整连接第二定位器200的下颚骨20与连接第一定位器100的上颚骨10之间的相对位置，以达成齿颚矫正的目的。值得一提的是，本实施例的齿颚矫正装置还可使得下颚骨20产生旋转。Therefore, referring to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B , two openings 106 may also be formed on the first occlusal surface B1 of the first positioner 100 to expose the left and right second molars 12F in the maxillary dental arch 12 respectively, Moreover, two spacers 206 may be further provided on the second occlusal surface B2 of the second positioner 200 , respectively corresponding to the openings 106 of the first positioner 100 . It should be noted that when the first occlusal surface B1 of the first locator 100 contacts the second occlusal surface B2 of the second locator 200, the spacers 206 can pass through the openings 106 and abut against the The second large molars 12F are used to push the second large molars 12F upward and increase the space between the first retainer 100 and the second retainer 200 . In this way, the above-mentioned problem that the second positioner 200 is stuck by the first positioner 100 can be eliminated, so that the orthodontic device of this embodiment can smoothly adjust the connection between the mandible 20 connected to the second positioner 200 and the connection to the second positioner. A locator 100 for the relative position between the maxillary bones 10 to achieve the purpose of orthodontic correction. It is worth mentioning that the orthodontic device of this embodiment can also make the mandible 20 rotate.
在本实施例中，隔开件206也为一增厚部，且其制作方法与增厚层204相同。另外，隔开件206及开孔106的设置位置及数量也可作调整。在部分实施例中，第一咬合面B1或第二咬合面B2上的开孔也可能被省略。In this embodiment, the spacer 206 is also a thickened portion, and its fabrication method is the same as that of the thickened layer 204 . In addition, the positions and numbers of the spacers 206 and the openings 106 can also be adjusted. In some embodiments, the openings on the first occlusal surface B1 or the second occlusal surface B2 may also be omitted.
虽然上述实施例中的齿颚矫正装置包括一第一定位器100及一第二定位器200，但其也可仅包括单一个定位器(第一定位器100或第二定位器200)，装于口腔的上颚牙弓或下颚牙弓。在这些情况下，另一未装有定位器的牙弓的左颊侧面及右颊侧面上也可分别装设至少一连接部(举例而言，若定位器是装于上颚牙弓上，则下颚牙弓的左颊侧面及右颊侧面上可分别装设一连接部，反之，若定位器是装于下颚牙弓上，则上颚牙弓的左颊侧面及右颊侧面上可分别装设一连接部)，并在该未装有定位器的牙弓的咬合面上形成增厚部(导引块)。如此一来，通过弹性件连接定位器上的连接部与未装有定位器的牙弓上的连接部，也可驱使下颚骨相对于上颚骨移动，以达到齿颚矫正的目的。此外，前述未装有定位器的牙弓的左颊侧面与右颊侧面之间的唇侧面上也可设有中央连接部，并可通过至少一弹性件连接该中央连接部与相邻的左或右颊侧面上的连接部，接着连接该连接部与装于另一牙弓上的定位器的对应的左或右颊侧面上的连接部，以产生矫正力，从而改善如前述上颚骨10与下颚骨20之间的左右偏斜问题。Although the orthodontic device in the above-mentioned embodiment includes a first locator 100 and a second locator 200, it may only include a single locator (first locator 100 or second locator 200). The upper or lower dental arch of the oral cavity. In these cases, at least one connecting portion can also be installed on the left buccal side and the right buccal side of the other dental arch that is not equipped with the positioner (for example, if the positioner is installed on the upper jaw dental arch, then A connecting part can be installed on the left cheek side and the right cheek side of the mandibular dental arch respectively. Conversely, if the positioner is installed on the mandibular dental arch, the left cheek side and the right cheek side of the maxillary dental arch can be respectively installed. A connecting part), and a thickened part (guide block) is formed on the occlusal surface of the dental arch that is not equipped with a positioner. In this way, by connecting the connecting portion on the locator with the connecting portion on the dental arch without the locator, the mandible can also be driven to move relative to the maxilla to achieve the purpose of orthognathic correction. In addition, a central connecting portion may also be provided on the labial side between the left buccal side and the right buccal side of the dental arch not equipped with a locator, and the central connecting portion may be connected to the adjacent left buccal side by at least one elastic member. Or the connecting portion on the right buccal side, and then connect the connecting portion with the corresponding left or right buccal side connecting portion of the locator mounted on the other dental arch, to generate a corrective force, thereby improving the upper jaw as described above 10 The problem of left and right deviation with the mandible 20.
虽然上述实施例中(图2)，第一定位器100的第一牙齿收容部R1是收容上颚牙弓12中的全部牙齿，且第二定位器200的第二牙齿收容部R2是收容下颚牙弓22中的全部牙齿，但是第一牙齿收容部R1也可被设计成仅收容部分的上颚牙弓12(即，上颚牙弓12中的部分牙齿)，且第二牙齿收容部R2也可被设计成仅收容部分的下颚牙弓22(即，下颚牙弓22中的部分牙齿)。Although in the above-mentioned embodiment (Fig. 2), the first tooth accommodating part R1 of the first positioner 100 is for accommodating all the teeth in the maxillary dental arch 12, and the second tooth accommodating part R2 of the second positioner 200 is for accommodating the mandibular teeth. all the teeth in the arch 22, but the first tooth receiving portion R1 can also be designed to accommodate only part of the maxillary dental arch 12 (that is, part of the teeth in the upper jaw dental arch 12), and the second tooth receiving portion R2 can also be designed It is designed to accommodate only a portion of the mandibular arch 22 (ie, a portion of the teeth in the mandibular arch 22).
