Title:
ORTHODONTIC MOUTHPIECE AND ORTHODONTIC DEVICE USING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2003/084424
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
To provide an orthodontic device and a novel orthodontic technique using the same whereby the problems occurring in the conventional fixation type orthodontic devices can be overcome and improved therapeutic effects can be achieved, an orthodontic mouthpiece A having an integrated combination of a guide member (10) for straightening the maxillary teeth with a guide member (20) for straightening the submaxillary teeth is formed. The guide member (10) for straightening the maxillary teeth and the guide member (20) for straightening the submaxillary teeth are formed in such a manner that the maxillary dental arch consisting of the maxillary anterior teeth and the right and left maxillary lateral teeth and the submaxillary dental arch consisting of the submaxillary anterior teeth and the right and left submaxillary lateral teeth are each incorporated therein in the state of bringing the teeth into occlusion. In the case of correcting simple abnormal occlusion, this mouthpiece can be easily used compared with a conventional one provided with guide members for straightening teeth of respective dental arches formed in divided state. Because of having no space-controlling means in divided parts, this mouthpiece can impart a less uncomfortable feeling in the oral cavity at the attachment.
