歯列矯正装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6649999
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
An orthodontic correction device includes a masticatory unit with a rigid body. The masticatory unit can be removably worn on a dental arch and does not deform when accommodating misaligned teeth. A recess is formed in the masticatory unit to accommodate a tooth of the dental arch which requires orthodontic correction. A guiding groove is formed on the occlusal surface of the masticatory unit. An elastic member is configured to stretch across the occlusal surface of the masticatory unit, retained in the guiding groove, and coupled with several connection parts affixed to the buccal surface and lingual surface of the tooth. Occlusal loading generated during mastication is transmitted to the teeth of the dental arch through the masticatory unit and activates the elastic member to move the tooth to its desired position. The orientation of the guiding groove determines the moving direction of the tooth.
