Description

설측 견인용 치열교정기구 및 그 제조방법Orthodontic appliance for lingual traction and its manufacturing method
본 발명은 치열교정기구 및 그 제조방법에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 치열을 설측으로 견인하는데 사용되는 설측 견인용 치열교정기구 및 그 제조방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an orthodontic appliance and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly, to a lingual traction orthodontic appliance used to pull the dentition to the lingual side and a manufacturing method thereof.
현대인에게 있어서 외모, 특히 인상은 취업이나 입학 등의 면접시 사람을 판단하는 하나의 기준으로서 작용하며, 대인관계에서도 큰 비중을 차지하는 등 사회생활에 매우 중요한 요소로 작용하는데, 특히 치아와 치열은 인상을 전체적으로 좌우하는 요인이 된다. 이에 따라 성형수술과 함께 치아, 치열, 또는 안면 골격의 개선을 위한 치과교정술이 성행하고 있다.For modern people, appearance, especially impression, serves as a criterion for judging people during job interviews and admissions, and plays an important role in social life. It is a factor that influences overall. Accordingly, orthodontics for the improvement of teeth, dental dentition, or facial skeleton along with plastic surgery are prevalent.
상기 치과교정술은 부정치열을 바르게 하는 시술, 예를 들면 단순히 비뚤어진 치아를 가지런히 하는 협의의 치열교정술을 포함하는 개념으로서, 성장 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 여러 가지 골격적 부조화를 바로잡아 정상적인 기능을 발휘할 수 있도록 하여 건강한 구강 조직에 기여하며, 더 나아가 얼굴 라인을 수려하게 하여 아름다운 얼굴 이미지를 만들어줄 수 있다.The orthodontics is a concept including an orthodontic treatment, for example, an orthodontic treatment that simply aligns a crooked tooth, and corrects various skeletal inconsistencies that may occur during the growth process, thereby exerting a normal function. By contributing to healthy oral tissues, the facial lines can also be beautiful to create beautiful facial images.
상기 치과교정술은 치열의 점진적 이동을 통해 부정교합 등의 부정치열을 개선하는 치열교정시술(Orthodontic Treatment)과 악골에 대한 외과적 수술을 수행하여 골격적 개선을 부여하는 악교정 수술로 구분될 수 있다.The orthodontics may be divided into orthodontic treatment (Orthodontic Treatment) to improve the orthodontic teeth such as malocclusion through gradual movement of the orthodontic and orthodontic surgery to give a skeletal improvement by performing a surgical operation on the jawbone.
다시 말해서, 아래위 치아의 맞물림에 대한 이상이나 안면 골격구조에 대한 이상이 너무나 심해 치열교정술, 즉 치열교정시술만으로는 치료가 불가능한 경우가 있는데, 이러한 경우에는 얼굴의 골격 자체의 이상을 수술로 바로잡아 기능적이고 심미적인 얼굴을 만들기 위해 악교정 수술이 상기 치열교정술과 함께 병행하여 적용되기도 한다. In other words, the abnormality of the upper teeth and the facial skeletal structure is so severe that orthodontic treatment, orthodontic treatment alone, cannot be treated. In this case, the face skeletal itself is corrected by surgery. Orthognathic surgery may be applied in conjunction with the orthodontics to create a facial that is both aesthetic and esthetic.
즉, 상기 악교정 수술(Orthognathic Surgery)은 치열교정시술만으로는 얼굴모양의 개선과 치아기능의 개선이 불완전할 때 사용될 수 있다. 특히 성장중인 아이들의 경우 치열교정시술을 통해 골격적인 개선을 하는 등의 방법으로 상기 악교정 수술을 피할 수 있지만, 성장이 종료된 성인의 경우는 수술이 치열교정만으로는 어려운 경우가 있는데 이러한 경우에 상기 악교정 수술이 상기 치열교정시술과 병행하여 시술될 수 있다.That is, the orthognathic surgery may be used when an orthodontic treatment is incomplete in improving the shape of the face and improving the dental function. In particular, in the case of growing children, the orthodontic surgery may be avoided by using a method such as skeletal improvement through orthodontic surgery, but in the case of adult growth, the operation may be difficult by orthodontics alone. Surgery may be performed in parallel with the orthodontic procedure.
상기 치열교정시술은 크게 순측 교정과 설측 교정으로 구분할 수도 있는데, 상기 순측 교정이란 치열교정에 사용되는 교정기구를 치아의 표면 중 입술 측의 표면에 부착하여 치열교정을 수행하는 교정법이고, 상기 설측 교정이란 상기 교정기구를 치아의 표면 중 혀측의 표면에 부착하여 치열교정을 수행하는 교정법이다.The orthodontic treatment may be largely divided into a labyrinth and lingual correction, the labyrinth correction is a correction method to perform orthodontics by attaching the orthodontic appliance used for orthodontics to the surface of the lips side of the teeth, The orthodontic appliance is a method of orthodontic treatment by attaching the orthodontic appliance to the surface of the tongue side of the tooth surface.
상기 치열교정기구의 예로는 치열을 바르게 하기 위한 교정 와이어(일반적으로 '호선 와이어'라 칭함)와 상기 교정 와이어의 지지를 위한 와이어 지지구(일반적으로 '브라켓'이라 칭함) 등이 있으며, 상기 브라켓은 상기 치아의 순측 및/또는 설측 표면에 고정된다. 상기 브라켓은 치열을 따라 복수개가 구비되어 상기 교정 와이어에 의해 연결되며, 상기 교정 와이어로부터 가해지는 교정력을 상기 치열에 전달한다.Examples of the orthodontic appliance include a calibration wire (generally referred to as a 'wire wire') and a wire support (generally referred to as a 'bracket') for supporting the orthodontic wire. Is fixed to the labial and / or lingual surface of the tooth.
