Abstract

Buccal protector for fixed orthodontic device, in the form of two models, the first model comprising a flexible planar silicone strip (1) with edges projecting downwards (2) and inwards (3), forming an internal channel (4) that acts as fastening area for the brackets. The flexible planar silicone strip (1) acts as a wall, preventing direct contact between the brackets and the wearer's lips. The second model comprises a flexible planar silicone strip (1) with edges projecting downwards (2) and inwards (3), forming an internal channel (4) that acts as fastening area for the brackets; and perforated ends (5) that serve to allow movement of the orthodontic wire. The component functions as a protective layer covering all the brackets at one and the same time, preventing direct contact between the orthodontic accessories of the fixed device and the soft parts of the oral mucosa.

Description

"PROTETOR BUCAL PARA APARELHO "Mouthguard for Appliance
ORTODÔNTICO FIXO". FIXED ORTHODONTIC ".
A presente patente modelo de utilidade tem por objetivo um protetor bucal para aparelho ortodôntico fixo. O aparelho ortodôntico fixo é composto de diversos componentes. Um dos seus componentes é o braquete. Os braquetes são estruturas de metal (ou cerâmica ou plásticos), com pequenas garras de fixação, que são diretamente colados sobre os dentes e servem de suporte para os fios ortodônticos. The present utility model object is for a mouth guard for fixed orthodontic braces. The fixed orthodontic appliance is made up of several components. One of its components is the bracket. Brackets are metal (or ceramic or plastic) structures with small clamping jaws that are directly glued over the teeth and support orthodontic wires.
Ocorre que o uso do aparelho ortodôntico fixo, com os componentes atualmente conhecidos, permite o contato direto entre os braquetes e as partes moles da mucosa oral do usuário, causando extremo desconforto, quando não feridas e aftas nos mesmos. The use of the fixed orthodontic appliance, with the currently known components, allows direct contact between the brackets and the soft parts of the user's oral mucosa, causing extreme discomfort when not injured and canker sores.
São conhecidos dois modelos de protetores bucais de uso diário para aparelho ortodôntico fixo. O primeiro apresenta-se na forma de um arco, feito no material EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer); sendo que esse arco apresenta perfil em U, e pontos de encaixe fixos no interior desse perfil para a fixação sobre o fio ortodôntico. O segundo modelo apresenta-se como um bastão de cera, que se deforma e se molda sobre o aparelho fixo. Two models of daily mouth guards for fixed orthodontic braces are known. The first is in the form of an arch made of EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) material; This arch has a U-profile, and fixed points inside this profile for fixation on the orthodontic wire. The second model is presented as a wax stick that deforms and molds over the fixed apparatus.
Contudo, alguns inconvenientes podem ser atribuídos aos dois modelos. No primeiro caso, o protetor apresenta pontos fixos para a sua fixação no fio ortodôntico, os quais não se adéquam às variações de tamanho de arco dentário e de distanciamento entre os dentes, o que o torna incompatível a muitos tamanhos de arcadas. No segundo caso, devido às propriedades físicas do material (cera), torna-se difícil a sua aplicação e remoção no aparelho. Também se torna difícil realizar a sua higienização, o que lhe reduz a vida útil. However, some drawbacks can be attributed to both models. In the first case, the protector has fixed points for attachment to the orthodontic wire, which do not fit the variations in dental arch size and tooth spacing, which makes it incompatible with many arch sizes. In the second case, due to the physical properties of the material (wax), its application and removal in the apparatus becomes difficult. It is also difficult to clean, which reduces its useful life.
Tendo em vista esses problemas, e no propósito de superá-los, foi desenvolvido o protetor bucal para aparelho ortodôntico fixo, objeto da presente patente. O referido protetor bucal pode ser apresentado em dois modelos. In view of these problems, and in order to overcome them, the mouthguard for fixed orthodontic braces, object of the present patent, was developed. Said mouthguard can be presented in two models.
O primeiro modelo consiste numa tira plana de silicone (ou de quaisquer outros materiais de propriedades semelhantes às do silicone), provido de bordas projetadas para baixo e para dentro, as quais atuam como pontos de fixação da peça sobre os braquetes, e ainda atuam revestindo as extremidades dos braquetes, isolando-os do contato direto com a mucosa oral. A tira de silicone atua se deformando em torno da arcada dentária, revestindo a parte frontal dos braquetes, evitando-se, desse modo, o contato direto entre os braquetes e a mucosa oral. Os desenhos anexos mostram detalhadamente a forma do protetor. The first model consists of a flat silicone strip (or any other material having silicone-like properties), provided with downward and inwardly projecting edges, which act as attachment points on the brackets, and still act as a coating. the ends of the brackets, isolating them from direct contact with the oral mucosa. The silicone strip acts by deforming around the dental arch, covering the front of the brackets, thus avoiding direct contact between the brackets and the oral mucosa. The accompanying drawings show in detail the shape of the protector.

A fig. 2 o mostra em perspectiva traseira;  Fig. 2 shows it in rear perspective;
A fig. 3 o mostra em corte;  Fig. 3 shows it in section;
De conformidade com o quanto ilustram as figuras acima relacionadas, o protetor bucal consiste numa tira plana flexível de silicone (1), com bordas projetadas para baixo (2) e para dentro (3), formando um canal interno (4) onde se encaixam as garras dos braquetes. O protetor bucal pode ser desenvolvido em diferentes tamanhos a fim de se adequar aos diferentes tamanhos de usuários. As illustrated by the above figures, the mouthguard consists of a flexible silicone flat strip (1) with downwardly projecting (2) and inwardly projecting (3) edges forming an inner channel (4) where they fit together. the clamps of the brackets. The mouthguard can be developed in different sizes to suit different user sizes.
O segundo modelo consiste numa tira plana de silicone (ou de quaisquer outros materiais de propriedades semelhantes às do silicone), provido de bordas projetadas para baixo e para dentro, as quais atuam como pontos de fixação da peça sobre os braquetes, e ainda atuam revestindo as extremidades dos braquetes, isolando-os do contato direto com a mucosa oral; perfurado em suas extremidades, de modo a permitir a movimentação do fio ortodôntico através desse furo. A tira de silicone atua se deformando em torno da arcada dentária, revestindo a parte frontal dos braquetes, evitando-se, desse modo, o contato direto entre os braquetes e a mucosa oral. The second model consists of a flat silicone strip (or any other material having silicone-like properties), provided with downward and inwardly projecting edges, which act as attachment points for the brackets, and still act as a coating. the ends of the brackets, isolating them from direct contact with the oral mucosa; perforated at its ends to allow the orthodontic wire to move through this hole. The silicone strip acts by deforming around the dental arch, covering the brackets, thus avoiding direct contact between the brackets and the oral mucosa.
Os desenhos anexos mostram detalhadamente a forma do protetor. The accompanying drawings show in detail the shape of the protector.
A fig. 4 o mostra em perspectiva frontal; Fig. 4 shows it in front perspective;
A fig. 5 o mostra em perspectiva traseira;  Fig. 5 shows in rear perspective;
A fig. 6 o mostra em corte;  Fig. 6 shows it in section;
De conformidade com o quanto ilustram as figuras acima relacionadas, o protetor bucal consiste numa tira plana flexível de silicone (1), com bordas projetadas para baixo (2) e para dentro (3), formando um canal interno (4), no qual se encaixam as garras dos brackets; perfurado em suas extremidades (5), por onde corre o fio ortodôntico. As illustrated by the above figures, the mouthguard consists of a flexible flat silicone strip (1) with downwardly projecting (2) and inwardly (3) edges forming an inner channel (4) in which fit the brackets' claws; perforated at its ends (5), through which the orthodontic wire runs.
O protetor bucal pode ser desenvolvido em diferentes tamanhos a fim de se adequar aos diferentes tamanhos de usuários. The mouthguard can be developed in different sizes to suit different user sizes.
