Abstract
An orthodontic anchor device (10) for a surgical traction element is described. The anchor device comprises a fixing device (12), which can be fixed in or to a bone in the mouth region, as well as a clamping device (18) coupled to the fixing device (12). The clamping device (18) has at least one locating region for the traction element as well as an oblique surface which can rotate relative to the locating region or which co-operates with a rotatable element. In order to produce a clamping force which fixes the traction element, a relative rotation takes place between the oblique surface and the rotatable element or between the oblique surface and the locating region.
Claims26
A device for anchoring a first surgical traction element in the mouth region, comprising
- a fixing device, which can be fixed in or to a bone;
- and
- a clamping device, coupled to the fixing device, with at least one locating region for the first traction element and with an oblique first surface which is rotatable relative to the locating region or configured to co-operate with a rotary element for producing a clamping force which fixes the first traction element upon a relative rotation taking place between the oblique first surface and one of the locating region and the rotary element.
A bone anchoring system comprising:
- a first traction element;
- and
- an anchoring device for anchoring a first surgical traction element in the mouth region, the anchoring device comprising a fixing component, which can be fixed in or to a bone and a clamping component, coupled to the fixing component, with at least one locating region for the first traction element and with an oblique first surface which is rotatable relative to the locating region or configured to co-operate with a rotary element for producing a clamping force which fixes the first traction element upon a relative rotation taking place between the oblique first surface and one of the locating region and the rotary element.
A device for anchoring a surgical traction element in a region of a mouth, comprising:
- a fixing component which is to be fixed in or to a bone;
- and
- a clamping component coupled to the fixing component, the clamping component comprising at least one locating region for the traction element and at least one oblique surface, the oblique surface being rotatable relative to the locating region for producing a clamping force which fixes the traction element upon a relative rotation between the oblique surface and the locating region.
A device for anchoring a surgical section element in a region of a mouth, comprising:
- a fixing component which is to be fixed in or to a bone;
- and
- a clamping component coupled to the fixing component, the clamping component comprising at least one locating region for the traction element, an oblique surface and a rotary element, the oblique surface cooperating with the rotary element for producing a clamping force which fixes the traction element upon a relative rotating between the oblique surface and the rotary element.
A method of performing an orthodontic surgery, comprising:
- providing an anchoring device for anchoring a surgical traction element in a region of a mouth, the anchoring device including an oblique surface and a locating surface;
- fixing a first end of the surgical traction element to at least one tooth;
- arranging an opposite second end of the surgical traction element in a region between the oblique surface and the locating surface;
- rotating one of the oblique surface, the locating surface and a rotary element co-operating with the oblique surface to fix the second end of the surgical traction element between the oblique surface and the locating surface.
