Description

DENTAL BRACKET PROTECTION

The invention relates to a new dental brace protector, specifically an innovative and functional protector that can be snapped into an orthodontic appliance to obtain a better appearance and to prevent inflammatory mucosal tissue defects and caries.

Tooth crookedness is a common dental defect that must be corrected using orthodontic wires and braces to bring the crooked teeth into the ideal line.

The appearance of the teeth is affected by the use of the orthopedic appliance to correct the defect because the brackets and wires must be attached to the tooth surfaces.

Sometimes the brackets and wires cause inflammatory mucosal tissue defects and caries. This discomfort caused by the orthodontic appliance has not been improved yet.

Therefore, to solve the above problems, we present an innovatively designed brace protector. This specially designed protector can be attached to a brace of the orthodontic appliance.

The main wire of the brace is snapped into a hole in the brace protector provided for a wire, which

thus held in place by the bracket. This gives the patient a better appearance and can prevent inflammatory mucosal tissue defects and caries.

The characteristics of the invention are described below:

1. Possible arrangement above the orthodontic appliance

2. Achieve a better look

3. Tightly holding the wire and improving its effect

4. Covering the orthodontic appliance and preventing inflammatory mucosal tissue defects and caries

5. Fluorides can be applied to prevent tooth decay

6. Molded from thin silicone material with good elasticity to hold the wire tightly and increase its effectiveness

7. with rounded edge and hollow interior for easy accessibility

Fig. 1 and 2 show that the brace guard, also called aesthetic brace guard, has a border 12, a hollowed-out interior area 13 and a cover 11. Holes 14,15 are provided on both sides of the cover 11 to engage the wire therein. There is then a further opening 16 in the inner surface of the cover 11, as well as a slot 19 and the holes 14,15 for the main wire.

The protector itself is made of thin silicone material and has good elasticity.

As shown in Fig. 4, the opening 16 and slot 19 on the inner surface of the cover 11 allow for quick attachment of the cover 11 to place it. The cover 11 is placed by first inserting the clip 17 through the opening 16 and then enclosing it in the inner cavity 13 so that the cover 11 can tightly cover the clip 17.

The main wire 18 is attached here to the clamp 17 by the binding wire 20. At the same time, however, the main wire 18 should run through the wire holes 14 by placing the slot 19 of the inner surface of the cover 11 over the wire.

In this way, the clamp 17 is completely covered by the cover 11 to achieve the aesthetic purpose and to avoid inflammatory mucosal tissue defects.

In accordance with the above embodiment, fluorides can be introduced into the inner cavity 13 of the cover 11 to prevent caries whenever necessary.

Since the cover 11 is made of thin silicone material, it has good elasticity. Therefore, the brackets 17 can be tightly enclosed. The dentist can place the cover 11 as a tight cover over the bracket 17, as well as over buttons or other places on the entire dental bracket, either on the lip side or on the tongue side.

The design itself is characterized by simplicity, but nevertheless allows for a better appearance, prevention of inflammatory mucosal tissue defects and good wire clamping due to the round border and the hollow interior.
