Orthodontic positioning guide plateTechnical Field
The utility model relates to an orthodontic field, concretely relates to just abnormal location baffle.
Background
In current orthodontic treatment, direct bonding is generally used when bonding brackets to tooth surfaces. Since the prior art direct bonding technique is a manual bonding based on the experience of the doctor, this method is highly dependent on the skill of the doctor for bonding and the visual observation. The working intensity is high, the efficiency is not high, the repeatability is not good, and the accuracy is not ideal. Nevertheless, due to its intuitiveness, it remains widely used in clinical practice by most orthodontists.
To overcome these disadvantages of the direct bonding technique, an indirect bonding technique has been developed. Indirect bonding techniques place the brackets in a transfer device, through which the brackets are transferred to the tooth.
However, existing indirect bonding transfer devices generally do not hold the bracket securely, such that the bracket tends to fall off easily when transferring the bracket to the tooth. Therefore, the stability of indirect bonding is poor, so that the orthodontic doctor often needs to repeatedly mount the bracket on the transfer device for many times, the working strength and the operation time of the orthodontic doctor are increased, and the original purpose of reducing the working strength of the orthodontic doctor by indirect bonding is overcome.
And existing indirect bonded transfer devices are typically provided for square brackets, but do not require indirect bonded transfer devices for spherical brackets.

The tooth surface facing the lips is the labial surface, the tooth surface facing the tongue is the lingual surface, the labial surface is opposite to the lingual surface, and the direction formed by the labial surface and the lingual surface is also called the labial-lingual direction. The two surfaces of the tooth that contact the adjacent teeth are the mesial and distal surfaces, respectively, and the difference is the distance from the middle, and the direction formed by the two is also called the mesial-distal direction, or the mesial-distal direction.
The shaft inclination mark positioning mark is also called a shaft inclination mark, and means that an inclined line which is the same as the shaft inclination angle of the bracket is arranged on the bracket, namely the shaft inclination line, so that a doctor can perform more accurate positioning when the bracket is adhered to a tooth surface by using the bracket.
Unless otherwise indicated, a bracket refers to an orthodontic appliance, and includes a bracket body (a body of the bracket) and a bracket base located below the bracket body, the outer side of the bracket body having a gripping location. The clamping position can be (1) a concave empty position below the bracket ligating wing or (2) a concave part formed between the bracket main body and the bracket bottom plate or (3) a concave part arranged on the outer side surface of the bracket main body or (4) the outer side surface of the bracket main body.
