The invention relates to medical equipment, namely to devices used for correction of malocclusion, the alignment incorrectly positioned teeth and restore the functioning of the dentition, and can be used in orthodontics, prosthodontics.
According to statistics, 90% of the population has malocclusion and need orthodontic treatment. Bite correction is important, as it can cause the development and progression of periodontal disease leads to tooth mobility, denuding the necks of the teeth, etc. the Inability to efficiently clean the teeth leads to the formation of plaque, calculus, caries.
It is known that the hygienic condition of the mouth in the presence of dental anomalies and deformations worse, there are inflammatory processes in periodontal tissues, increases the damage of teeth with caries.
In recent years, dramatically increased the number of patients with periodontal disease. With the progression of this disease healthy teeth become loose and even fall out.
Known currently used fixed orthodontic appliances, braces contain locks or brackets (bracket in translation from English means bracket), which are bonded to the teeth using a special glue in the grooves of which the PCC who repents elastic wire - orthodontic arch (1).
The arc is placed in the bracket with the cap and rubber ligatures, which skaplivaet myself plaque that significantly impairs oral hygiene and gum condition.
Known bruketa system for orthodontic treatment containing braces, ligature wire, located in the body of the bracket microchip with a microcontroller, microactuator and the piezoelectric element (2).
This device also has a rubber ligature performing additional functions of vibration elements. The inability to efficiently clean the teeth leads to the formation of plaque, calculus, caries.
The purpose of the invention is the elimination of complications after treatment with orthodontic braces.
This objective is achieved in that the bracket is equipped with light emitting elements made in the form of LEDs.
The impact of optical radiation on the attachment brackets on the tooth surface provides the effect of surface bactericidal action, stops the growth of fungi, leads to conformational rearrangements in the protein matrix of enamel and improves its functional properties, enhancing the exchange and diffusion processes.
Figure 1 shows a bracket for orthodontic treatment (in section), figure 2 - block diagram of the execution of the electrical part.
Break the t includes a housing 1, in the grooves which is placed ligature wire 2. In the case of braces placed light-emitting elements 3 (e.g., LEDs)operating in the range of ultraviolet, blue, green, red or infrared radiation.
Management options emission light-emitting elements provides the microcontroller 4, which is in the form of a microchip and is located in the body of the bracket or outside the bracket in the external control unit.
The power supply provides an integrated microactuator 5 or the external power source 6.
Transmission of electricity is a technology radioresource transmission line (Wireless Resonant Energy Link (WREL))" on agreed resonators. As the receiving antenna is used ligature wire, electrically connected to the radiating element or a microcontroller.
A variant of power from the piezoelectric element 7, which is located in the bracket system operating at naduzywany pads opposite the teeth of the other jaw. The sensor can also be used for charging microactuator 5, located in the braces.
The proposed orthodontic bracket e provides the impact of optical radiation on the attachment on the tooth surface.
Ultraviolet and blue light is provide the effect of surface bactericidal action, and infrared radiation enhances this effect, and also stops the growth of bacteria.
Green light is effective when the disease of diabetes, and stops the growth of fungi.
Red and infrared improve blood flow neurovascular bundle of the tooth. Lead to conformational rearrangements in the protein matrix of enamel and improve its functional properties, enhancing the exchange and diffusion processes.
Colors and modes light-emitting elements in accordance with the method of sterilization of the surface of the tooth and prevention of inflammatory processes can shorten the time of treatment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to dentistry and is intended for correction of detected by early diagnostics temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunctions. Anthropometry of face is carried out in order to determine displacement of lower jaw and measure the height of lower third part of face. Displacement of lower jaw is determined in sagittal, transversal and distal directions. In order to determine distal displacement of lower jaw Eshler-Bittner test is applied. To determine lateral displacements occlusography is carried out in habitual occlusion, results are obtained by computer program T-Scan. Orthopantomography is performed and value of joint spaces is determined. If secondary displacements of lower law in sagittal and/or transversal and/or distal directions are determined, joint spaces of various value on orthopantomogram and change of height of lower third part of face are present, dysfunction of TMJ is diagnosed. Lower jaw is installed in neutral state in central occlusion, mouthguard with bite sites for fixation of lower jaw in said position is made. Occlusography is repeated in central occlusion together with mouthguard, difference of initial and blocking contacts is determined and in case if contact is advanced, selective lapping is carried out. Conclusion about elimination of dysfunction is made on the basis of patient's subjective sensations, anthropometric data and holding of lower jaw in position without displacement in sagittal and transversal planes. Final correction of mouthguard is performed in central occlusion under control of OPTG with central position of TMJ head in glenoid fossa, after which mouthguard from silicon is replaced with plastic. Myotherapy is administered and orthodontic treatment and/or dental prosthetics is performed after adaptation in accordance with indications.
EFFECT: method makes it possible to detect and prevent TMJ diseases before development of expressed pathologic joint symptoms due to correction of TMJ dysfunction before clinical symptoms of joint pathology develop.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medicine, namely to orthodontic dentistry, and is intended for retaining stable result after performed orthodontic treatment. Non-detachable retainers are fixed on upper and lower dentitions after passive fitting. Non-detachable bite sites from composite material, imitating expressed incisive papillae are made on palate surface of incisors 1.1 and 2.1. Retainer on lower dentition is fixed on the segment from 4.4 to 3.4 teeth. Length of retainer on upper dentition depends on initial anomaly of teeth position and method of treatment. In case of initial vestibular position of canines and treatment of deep overbite without extraction of teeth 1.4 and 2.4 retainer is fixed from 1.3 to 2.3 teeth. In case of extraction of teeth 1.4 and 2.4 retainer is continued to 1.5 and 2.5 teeth. In case of absence of vestibular position of canines and treatment of deep overbite without extraction of 1.4 and 2.4 teeth retainer is installed from 1.2 to 2.2 teeth.
EFFECT: method makes it possible to increase retention efficiency due to possibility of simultaneous control of teeth position and occlusion in vertical plane by means of non-detachable retention.

SUBSTANCE: removable individual replaceable myogymnastic element (RIRME) representing an individually curved orthodontic wire having a many-sided bead is fixed for 2 hours a day and for a period of logopaedic treatment into closed canals of the palatal plate of the removable appliance. A patient moves his/her tongue: touches the bead and displaces it in different directions along the wire trajectory. As the range of motions increases, the RIRME is changed by a new one with the complex trajectory and a smaller bead. The lessons are continued until the tongue functions are recovered completely.
EFFECT: method enables shortening the rehabilitation period that is ensured by orthodontic treatment in a combination with functional correction and use of the myogymnastic element that is complicated in the process of treatment.
