Orthodontic neckband for measuring and controlling tension

Abstract

The invention discloses an orthodontic neckband for measuring and controlling tension. The orthodontic neckband comprises a neckband body, a tension sensor, a microcomputer, a timer and a bluetooth module, wherein buckle belts are arranged at two ends of the neckband body and are connected with a headgear; a tension sensor is connected in the middle of the neckband body in series or the tension sensor is connected between the neckband body and the buckle belts; and the tension sensor, the timer and the bluetooth module all are connected with the microcomputer. According to the orthodontic neckband for measuring and controlling the tension, the problems that a patient cannot accurately describe the wear time of the orthodontic neckband and the orthodontic traction force cannot be accurately measured in the clinical treatment process are solved; through combination of the small-range tension sensor, the microcomputer, the bluetooth module and the neckband, the wear time of the neckband is objectively reflected to a physician; the orthodontic force of an intraoral appliance is quantified through the tension sensor of the micro-range tension sensor; an orthodontist more objectively and accurately selects the next treatment plan; and the patient is timely reminded when the orthodontic force is abnormal due to a few of uncontrollable factor and unnecessary damage is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical devices, and relates to an orthodontic neckband for measuring and controlling the tension of the orthodontic department, which is applied to the accurate measurement of the wearing time of the orthodontic neckband by orthodontists and patients and the measurement of the orthodontic tension. Background technique [0002] At present, with the rapid development of society, in the clinical practice of stomatology, more and more patients choose to receive orthodontic treatment to improve their quality of life. During orthodontic treatment, patients often need to wear low-level traction extraoral anchorage appliances at night to assist treatment, mainly including extraoral arches, neck straps, internal fixation or movable appliances, etc. The wearing time and the strength of the orthodontic force are one of the important reference indicators for orthodontists to judge the treatment effect and adjust the treatment...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The wearing time and the strength of the orthodontic force are one of the important reference indicators for orthodontists to judge the treatment effect and adjust the treatment plan: if the wearing time of the neckband is too short, it will affect the effect of orthodontic treatment; It will cause adverse reactions such as increased tooth looseness, tooth pain, pulp reaction, root resorption and alveolar height reduction, while too weak orthodontic force will obviously affect the quality of orthodontics

However, in current clinical practice, the wearing time of the low-level traction external anchorage appliance is often told by the patient to the doctor orally during the follow-up visit. Strong, great influence on the formulation and implementation of personalized orthodontic treatment plan
