発明の技術分野
本発明は、歯列保護矯正具に関し、さらに詳しくは、各
個人の歯列に応じた形状に変形が容易な歯列保護矯正具
に関する。TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an orthodontic appliance, and more particularly to an orthodontic appliance that can be easily deformed into a shape suitable for each individual's dentition.
発明の技術的背景
歯列の噛合状態が不充分である患者の歯列吻合状態を改
善するため、歯科医院では歯列矯正具が用いられている
。TECHNICAL BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Orthodontic appliances are used in dental clinics to improve the anastomotic condition of patients whose dentition is insufficiently occlusal.
またボクシング、アメリカンフットボールなどの激しい
動作を伴うスポーツでは、歯列を保護するためそして脳
への衝撃を緩和するため、一般にマウスピースと呼ばれ
ている歯列保護具が広く用いられている。Furthermore, in sports that involve intense movements such as boxing and American football, dental protectors, commonly called mouthpieces, are widely used to protect the teeth and reduce shock to the brain.
ところで従来上記のような歯列保護矯正具は、可塑剤が
添加された酢酸ビニル樹脂から形成されていた。このよ
うな歯列保護矯正具は、一般に加熱して軟化させた後、
硬化しないうちに歯列で噛んで各個人の歯列に応じた形
状に変形させて用いている。しかしながら、可塑剤が添
加された酢酸ビニル樹脂から形成された歯列保護矯正具
は、たん加熱して軟化させた後に温度が比較的高いうち
に速やかに噛んで変形させなければならない。By the way, the above-mentioned orthodontic orthodontic devices have conventionally been made of vinyl acetate resin to which a plasticizer has been added. Such orthodontic orthodontic appliances are generally heated and softened, and then
Before it hardens, it is chewed with the teeth and transformed into a shape that suits each individual's teeth. However, orthodontic orthodontic appliances made of vinyl acetate resin to which a plasticizer has been added must be heated to soften them and then quickly chewed to deform them while the temperature is relatively high.
なぜならもし温度が下がった後に噛んだのでは、歯列保
護矯正具はかなり硬化してしまい、各個人の歯列に応じ

可塑剤が添加された酢酸ビニル樹脂からなる歯列保護矯
正具は、加熱後まだ熱いうちに噛んで変形させなければ
ならず、しかも加熱して軟化させた後に変形不能となる
ほどに硬化してしまうまでの時間が短いため、着用者に
は不便であった。This is because if the teeth are chewed after the temperature has dropped, the teeth-protecting orthodontic device will harden considerably and it will be difficult to transform it into a shape that suits each individual's dentition. For this reason, orthodontic orthodontic appliances made of vinyl acetate resin with added plasticizers must be chewed to deform them while they are still hot after heating, and furthermore, they harden to the point that they cannot be deformed after being heated and softened. It was inconvenient for the wearer because it took only a short time to wear off.
発明の目的
本発明は、上記のような従来技術に伴う問題点を解決し
ようとするものであって、歯列保護矯正具を各個人の歯
列形状に応じて変形させる際に、該歯列保護矯正具を加
熱して軟化させた後に、いまだ熱いうちに噛んで変形さ

保護矯正具を提供することを目的としている。Purpose of the Invention The present invention aims to solve the problems associated with the prior art as described above. To provide an orthodontic protective orthodontic device that does not require the protective orthodontic device to be heated and softened and then chewed to deform it while it is still hot, and that it takes a long time to harden after being heated and softened, and is therefore easy to handle. is intended to provide.
発明の概要
本発明に係る第１の歯列保護矯正具は、ポリε−カプロ
ラクトンから形成されていることを特徴としている。Summary of the Invention A first orthodontic protection orthodontic device according to the present invention is characterized in that it is made of polyε-caprolactone.
上記のような本発明に係る歯列保護矯正具ては、ポリε

き、取扱いが容易となる。The orthodontic protection orthodontic device according to the present invention as described above is made of polyε
- Since it is made of caprolactone, it can be slowly deformed to match the shape of the tooth row after being heated and softened, so there is no need to chew while it is hot, and it takes time to chew and deform after being heated and softened. It can be long and easy to handle.
発明の詳細な説明
以下本発明に係る歯列保護矯正具について具体的に説明
する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The orthodontic protective orthodontic device according to the present invention will be specifically described below.
本発明に係る第１の歯列保護矯正具は、ポリε−カプロ
ラクトンから形成されている。The first orthodontic protection orthodontic device according to the present invention is made of polyε-caprolactone.
本発明で用いられるポリε−カプロラクトンは、ε−カ
プロラクトンをそれ自体公知の方法で開環重合させて得
られるもので、公知の物質である。The poly ε-caprolactone used in the present invention is a known substance obtained by ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone by a method known per se.
このようなポリε−カプロラクトンは、軟化温度が１０
０℃以下であって、熱水たとえば沸騰水中に入れること
によって軟化させることができる。Such polyε-caprolactone has a softening temperature of 10
It can be softened by placing it in hot water, such as boiling water, at a temperature of 0° C. or lower.
また上記のポリε−カプロラクトンは、流動性に優れて
おり、加熱軟化した後硬化するまでの時間が酢酸ビニル
樹脂と比較して長く、したがって取扱いが容易である。Moreover, the above-mentioned poly ε-caprolactone has excellent fluidity and takes a longer time to harden after being heated and softened than vinyl acetate resin, so it is easy to handle.
このようなポリε−カプロラクトンは、軟化温度が１０
０℃以下であり、熱水たとえば沸騰水中に入れることに
よって軟化させることができる。Such polyε-caprolactone has a softening temperature of 10
It has a temperature of 0° C. or lower and can be softened by placing it in hot water, for example boiling water.
また上記のポリε−カプロラクトンは、加熱軟化した後
硬化するまでの時間が長く、したがって歯列で噛むこと
によって、各個人の歯列形状に応じて容品に変形させる
ことができる。Further, the above-mentioned poly ε-caprolactone takes a long time to harden after being heated and softened, so that it can be transformed into a product according to the shape of each individual's dentition by chewing with the dentition.
上記のような本発明に係る歯列保護矯正具は、奥歯（臼

く、また前歯と小臼歯まで噛み込んで保護しうるような
形状であってもよい。特に歯列保護具としては、奥歯ま
で噛み込んで保護しうるような形状であることが好まし
く、また咬合状態を改善するための歯列矯正具としては
、前歯と小臼歯まで噛み込んで保護しうるような形状で
あることが好ましい。The dental alignment protection orthodontic device according to the present invention as described above may have a shape that can be bitten and protected up to the back teeth (molar teeth), or a shape that can be bitten and protected up to the front teeth and premolars. It may be. In particular, as a dental protector, it is preferable that the shape is such that it can bite down to the back teeth and protect them, and as an orthodontic appliance to improve occlusal conditions, it is preferable to have a shape that can bite and protect the front teeth and premolars. Preferably, it has a watery shape.
発明の効果
本発明に係る歯列保護矯正具では、ポリε−カプロラク
トンから形成されているため、加熱して軟化させた後に
硬化するまでの時間が長く、したがって熱いうちに噛む
必要がなく、しかも加熱硬化後噛んで変形させるまでの
時間を長くとることができ、取扱いが容易となる。Effects of the Invention Since the orthodontic protective orthodontic device according to the present invention is made of polyε-caprolactone, it takes a long time to harden after being heated and softened, so there is no need to chew it while it is hot. It takes a longer time to chew and deform after heating and curing, making handling easier.
