Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the middle of the deformable tube 300 is provided with an easy-break area 320 , and the easy-break area 320 is used for bending the deformable tube 300 .

The setting of the easy-to-bend area 320 is more convenient for the bending of the deformable tube 300, and at the same time, the bending area of the deformable tube 300 can be limited to a specific position, and the use effect is better. It can be understood that the easy-break area 320 may be made of a specific material and distinguished from other parts, for example, the easy-break area 320 is made of aluminum material and the other parts are made of stainless steel material; the easy-break area 320 may also be It is formed by a specific structure, for example, the thickness of the tube wall of the easy-break area 320 is thinner than that of other parts.

4 and 5 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the airbag 400 is sequentially provided with a left end portion 410 , a middle connecting portion 420 and a right end portion 430 , the diameter of the middle connecting portion 420 is smaller than that of the left end portion 410 , and the middle connecting portion 420 is The diameter of the portion 420 is smaller than that of the right end portion 430 , and the middle connecting portion 420 is used to leave a space for bending between the wall of the airbag 400 and the inner wall of the deformable tube 300 .

The arrangement of the middle connecting portion 420 makes a space available for bending vacant between the wall of the airbag 400 and the inner wall of the deformable tube 300 , which facilitates the bending of the deformable tube 300 . At the same time, when the deformable tube 300 is bent, the airbag 400 will not be squeezed, and the pressure of the airbag 400 will be changed, which also keeps the straightening force of the orthodontic appliance stable.

Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the middle part of the deformable tube 300 is provided with an easy-break area 320 , and the middle connecting part 420 is arranged in the easy-break area 320 .

In some embodiments of the present invention, the outer wall of the airbag 400 is provided with a protective layer.

The provision of the protective layer ensures that the acute angles and spurs that may be formed when the deformable tube 300 is bent will not damage the airbag 400 , thereby ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the airbag 400 . It can be understood that the protective layer is generally made of a flexible material, such as a rubber layer and a silicone layer.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the inner wall of the deformable tube 300 is provided with a protective layer.

The provision of the protective layer ensures that the acute angles and spurs that may be formed when the deformable tube 300 is bent will not damage the airbag 400 , thereby ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the airbag 400 . It can be understood that the protective layer is generally made of a flexible material, such as a rubber layer and a silicone layer.

In some embodiments of the present invention, a flexible protective sleeve is further included, and the flexible protective sleeve is sleeved on the deformable tube 300 .

The arrangement of the flexible protective cover ensures that the acute angles and spurs that may be formed when the deformable tube 300 is bent will not damage the oral cavity and tongue of the human body, thereby ensuring the safety of the user. It can be understood that since the flexible protective cover needs to be bent together with the deformable tube 300, it needs to be made of a flexible material, and since the flexible protective cover needs to be installed in the human oral cavity, it needs to be made of materials that are non-toxic to the human body. The material of the flexible protective cover can be silicone or latex.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the deformable tube 300 is a gooseneck structure.

The gooseneck is a composite metal tube covered with metal spring steel wire. There are spiral patterns outside the hollow. The tube hole can accommodate objects of a certain size.
