Benefits of technology
[0009]Another objective of this invention to provide a kind of orthodontic maxillary micro implant where the surface area of the orthodontic maxillary implant is small, so that after implanting, it won't affect the function of the orthodontic patients tongue and won't result in the orthodontic patient having a speech impediment or difficulty in swallowing and chewing. It also won't result in difficulty to maintain oral hygiene.
Problems solved by technology
Although conventional orthodontic plates correct the orthodontic patients teeth, they have the following drawbacks: 1. Placement of the device is not easy: every tooth's growth and placement angle varies, and conventional orthodontic plates are not easy to adjust, resulting in inconvenience when affixing the orthodontic plate; 2. The resin plate area is too large: conventional orthodontic plates 1 require a large surface area and increased thickness in order to provide sufficient grip for keeping the resin plate 11 affixed.
As a result, the tongue space is reduced and difficulties in talking, chewing and swallowing arise, as well as difficulty in maintaining oral hygiene; 3. Restrictions in functions: current placement of the orthodontic device is by the premolar being attached to the maxilla, so when the molars move backward, it inevitably results in the anterior teeth moving forward and the lips protruding outwards as a result.

Embodiment Construction
[0021]With reference to FIGS. 3a to 5 for an orthodontic maxillary micro implant of the present invention, the orthodontic maxillary micro implant comprises a plate 21 and a corrective accessory 22.
[0022]In FIGS. 3a and 3b, the plate 21 comprises: a first locking hole 211 and a second locking hole 212 situated at each end of the plate 21, and penetrating through the plate 21, and situated opposite to each other; a third locking hole 213 is situated between the first locking hole 211 and the second locking hole 212; and a first circular protrusion 214 and a second circular protrusion 215 extend from the top and bottom surfaces of plate 21 respectively.
[0023]In FIGS. 4a and 4b, the corrective accessory 22 comprises a main body 221, a fourth fixed locking hole 222 situated at a central position on the main body 221, and a first groove 223 and a second groove 224 formed on opposite sides of the main body 221 respectively for accommodating at least one orthodontic wire 225.

An orthodontic maxillary micro implant includes a plate and a corrective accessory. The plate is implanted into the keratinized epidermal tissue in the maxilla of the orthodontic patient's oral cavity. First and second locking elements are passed through first and second locking holes situated at both ends of the plate respectively to secure the plate to the maxilla, and finally a third locking element is affixed through a fourth locking hole situated on the corrective accessory and a third locking hole situated on the plate to secure the corrective accessory to the maxilla. The orthodontic maxillary micro implant overcomes the difficulty of tongue operation and reduced oral hygiene maintenance caused by the large surface area that a conventional maxillary device occupies. With the use of orthodontic wires, the orthodontic maxillary micro implant becomes an orthodontic accessory allowing the patient's teeth to be moved backward, pulled forward, pushed sideways or retracted.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the invention This invention relates to an orthodontic maxillary micro implant, more specifically an orthodontic maxillary micro implant inserted into the maxilla of the oral cavity for orthodontics.[0002]2. Description of Related Art[0003]Conventional orthodontic plates 1 are composed of a plate 11 made of resin, and two corrective parts 12, 13 fixed into and extending from the plate 11 (As shown in FIG. 1), these corrective parts 12, 13 are made up of orthodontic O-rings 121, 131 and wires 122, 132 respectively.[0004]When using conventional orthodontic plates 1 for orthodontic correction on the posterior teeth, an adhesive is used to affix the resin plate 11 to the maxilla of the orthodontic patient's oral cavity (As shown in FIG. 2), and ends of these corrective parts 12,13 are orthodontic O-rings 122, 132 attached to both sides of posterior teeth on the maxilla of the orthodontic patients oral cavity, the other ends 122, 132 having wi...
