Abstract
A palatal anchorage device for orthodontic treatment with enhanced support is provided, which includes a body having a form of a triangular truss, screw fixation parts formed on each of three vertex regions of the body, with through-holes formed therein to allow a screw to be placed in a palate, and hook parts extending from both sides of the body and hooking and fixing an elastic body connected to a tooth fixture.
Claims2
A palatal anchorage device for orthodontic treatment with enhanced support, comprising:
- a body having a form of a triangular truss;
- screw fixation parts and formed on each of three vertex regions of the body, with through-holes formed therein to allow a screw to be placed in a palate;
- and
- hook parts extending from both sides of the body and hooking and fixing an elastic body connected to a tooth fixture, wherein
- the screw fixation parts include a front screw fixation part formed on a front vertex of the body, and a pair of rear screw fixation parts formed on both rear vertices of the body, the pair of rear screw fixation parts are symmetrically formed with respect to the front screw fixation part,
- the hook parts are configured to extend from a side of the triangular truss form of the body, or specifically, extend on both sides from both vertices at a rear end of the body such that the front screw fixation part supports the pair of rear screw fixation parts so that the pair of rear screw fixation parts is not moved forward even when a force to move the pair of rear screw fixation parts forward is generated by a pulling force of the elastic body,
- the body has a form of an isosceles triangle, wherein the isosceles triangle has a length of a base of the isosceles triangle less than a height,
- a spacing between the pair of rear screw fixation parts is configured to be shorter than a shortest straight line distance from the pair of rear screw fixation parts to the front screw fixture,
- the hook parts include a plurality of locking protrusions and spaced apart at predetermined intervals to be locked with the elastic body so that the elastic body is fixed in position, and the hook parts further include, at ends of the hook parts, round parts 125 rounded to prevent the elastic body from being caught at the ends of the hook parts when the elastic body is released from the hook protrusions and.
