Claims (7)

  1. A support member (100) attached to and fixed to a tooth (900), and A wire (500) installed at regular intervals in the direction of the tooth root from the above support member (100), and A dental orthodontic device comprising an elastic cord (200) installed between the support member (100) and the wire (500) to pull the support member (100).
  2. In Article 1, A dental orthodontic device in which a loop (120) is formed on the support member (100) and the elastic cord (200) is hooked onto the loop (120).
  3. In Article 1, The above-mentioned support member (100) is a dental orthodontic device in which the lower part is formed to be wider than the upper part to improve support strength.
  4. In Article 1, It further includes an extension (400) that is connected to the upper end of the wire (500) and installed to hang down. A dental orthodontic device in which the elastic cord (200) is connected to the lower part of the extension (400).
  5. In Paragraph 4, A dental orthodontic device further comprising an auxiliary wire (300) installed to wrap around the middle part of the extension (400) and the tooth (900) and to pull the tooth (900) toward the extension (400).
  6. In Paragraph 4, A dental orthodontic device further comprising an elastic body (480) installed between the extension (400) and the tooth (900).
  7. In Paragraph 4, The extension (400) is formed with two legs (420) that are coupled to the wire (500), and the lower ends of the two legs (420) are connected to each other by a connecting part (440). The above-mentioned connecting part (440) is formed with a middle part that is convex upward, so that the elastic cord (200) is caught in the middle part of the connecting part (440) in a dental orthodontic device.

Description

Orthodontic devices The present invention relates to a dental orthodontic device, and more specifically, to a dental orthodontic device that allows for installation and treatment even in situations where sufficient installation space is not secured due to occlusion with opposing teeth. Orthodontic treatment is a procedure performed to improve malocclusion and correct jaw deformities, and generally utilizes fixation devices consisting of brackets and wires. The above orthodontic device is operated by attaching brackets to the teeth and connecting them with wires. Both ends of the wire are fixed to brackets installed on the jawbone or other teeth, thereby allowing the wire to apply force to the teeth to be corrected over a long period of time. As a result, the teeth gradually move to the target position, thereby achieving correction. The above-mentioned orthodontic treatment involves moving the position of the teeth toward the lips or tongue, and there is also intrusion orthodontics, which corrects the teeth by pushing them into the bone, that is, toward the alveolar bone. Meanwhile, in the case of intrusion correction, as illustrated in Fig. 1, a situation occurs where the occlusion between teeth is so tight that the upper or lower jaw covers part of the teeth on the opposite side. In this case, sufficient space is not secured to attach and fix the orthodontic device to the teeth. Although brackets must be attached to the tooth surface and wires installed at a certain distance from the teeth, installation is difficult because sufficient space is not secured to perform such procedures. To address the aforementioned problems, a method has been proposed in which resin is added to the molars to lift the occlusion, and then the orthodontic appliance is fixed to the teeth. However, this procedure presents various issues, such as the complexity, difficulty, and time-consuming nature of the process—including the addition of resin and the need to readjust the occlusion using the added resin—and the discomfort it causes to the patient. FIG. 1 is an example diagram showing teeth with a tight occlusal structure. FIG. 2 is a front view showing the state in which a tooth orthodontic device according to the present invention is installed. FIG. 3 is a side view showing the state in which a tooth orthodontic device according to the present invention is installed. FIG. 4 is an illustrative diagram showing another embodiment of a support member according to the present invention. FIG. 5 is an exemplary diagram showing a state in which an extension is installed in a dental orthodontic device according to the present invention. FIG. 6 is an exemplary diagram showing the state in which an extension with a loop formed at the bottom is installed according to the present invention. FIG. 7 is an example diagram showing the installation state of an extension with two legs formed. FIG. 8 is an illustrative diagram showing another embodiment of an extension having two legs formed therein. FIG. 9 is an exemplary diagram showing a state in which an extension is installed in a dental orthodontic device according to the present invention, and the teeth are pulled toward the lips. FIG. 10 is an exemplary diagram showing a state in which an auxiliary wire is installed in a dental orthodontic device according to the present invention. FIG. 11 is an example of an extension with a ring formed in the middle part. The present invention proposes a dental orthodontic device comprising a support member attached to and fixed to a tooth, a wire installed at a constant distance from the support member in the direction of the tooth root, and an elastic cord installed between the support member and the wire to pull the support member. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings, FIGS. 2 to 11, with reference to preferred embodiments. FIG. 2 is a front view showing the state in which a dental orthodontic device according to the present invention is installed, FIG. 3 is a side view showing the state in which a dental orthodontic device according to the present invention is installed, and FIG. 4 is an illustrative diagram showing another embodiment of a support member according to the present invention. As described above, the orthodontic device according to the present invention includes a support member (100), a wire (500), and an elastic cord (200). The support member (100) is attached to the surface of the tooth (900) to be corrected and is formed in the shape of a thin plate with a predetermined surface area. When the support member (100) is formed in the shape of a thin plate in this way, it can be easily attached and fixed even in narrow spaces between teeth with close occlusion. The support member (100) may be formed with a lower portion (tooth root direction, hereinafter the same) having a wider width than the upper portion. For example, as illustrated in the drawing, it is formed in a trapezoidal sha
