摘要
目的研究瞬态咬合力作用下个性化舌侧自锁矫治器的应力分布特点,并以此为基础对其进行优化。方法采用CT扫描、逆向工程和计算机辅助设计技术构建全牙列、个性化舌侧矫治器及弓丝的整体三维模型,对其进行咬合过程的瞬态动态动力学非线性分析及优化设计,并通过制造出优化后的舌侧矫治器进行试验研究,验证有限元模型的可靠性。结果托槽底板处产生的等效应力均要大于托槽体上其他部位的应力;通过在托槽盖上设置加强筋,使得托槽盖的最大等效应力降低了60.9%,避免了弓丝与托槽盖作用时过大的应力集中;托槽盖加载试验结果与模拟结果基本吻合。结论临床进行舌侧正畸时,应关注咬合力作用点与矫治器的相对位置,避免影响矫治器的自锁性能;通过对矫治器进行优化,可将弓丝的弹性势能更加有效地传递到牙齿上,减少正畸力的损耗。
Objective To study the characteristics of stress distributions on a customized lingual self-locking orthodontic appliance under transient occlusal force and optimize its structure. Methods A whole 3D model including denture, appliances and wire was established by CT scanning, reverse engineering method and CAD technology; transient nonlinear dynamic analysis on this model during occluding and its structural optimization were conducted, and the optimized lingual appliance was made based on rapid prototyping technology to verify reliability of the finite element model. Results The equivalent stress on the bracket bottom was larger than that on other parts of the bracket; the maximum equivalent stress on the bracket cover was decreased by 60.9% after installing a reinforcing rib on it, which could effectively prevent stress concentration caused by the contact between the arch wire and bracket cover. The simulation results fundamentally agreed with the loading experiment on the bracket cover. Conclusions For lingual orthodontic treatment in clinic, the relative position between interaction points of the occlusal force and brackets should be concerned so as to avoid impairing the self-locking function; through optimizing the appliance design, the elastic potential energy of arch wire can be transferred more effectively to the teeth and reduce losses of the orthodontic force.
