本発明者が陥入爪の発症について鋭意検討した結果、湾曲状に変形した爪縁部が爪郭または爪溝に嵌入して陥入爪を発症する、というのが今までの定説であったが、それだけでなく、爪側端縁部には爪形を保持するための補強目的で下方へ折り曲がったフランジ状が形成されているのだが、該フランジ状部へ靴や靴下などの締め付けや圧迫によりさらに内方向へ鋭角状を強めた屈曲変形フランジ状部（以下、「屈曲変形部」という）が、爪郭または爪溝の軟部組織を刺激し、腫脹や刺傷を伴う陥入爪が発症していることを判明した。As a result of diligent studies on the development of ingrown toenail by the present inventor, it has been the established theory that the curvedly deformed nail edge fits into the nail fold or nail groove to develop ingrown toenail. However, not only that, a flange shape that is bent downward is formed on the edge of the nail side for the purpose of reinforcement to maintain the nail shape, but tightening of shoes, socks, etc. to the flange shape The flexed deformed flange-shaped part (hereinafter referred to as "flexed deformed part") whose sharpness is further strengthened inward by compression stimulates the soft tissue of the nail fold or nail groove, and ingrown toenail with swelling or puncture develops. It turned out that it was.

これに対し、本出願人が先に提案した前記文献１に掲げた該巻き爪矯正具においては、該巻き爪矯正具の横摺動を円滑にするための横摺動緩衝曲面を下側脚部の両側端部に具備していることで、爪幅略中央の平坦な爪先端縁へ装着された該巻き爪矯正具を該横摺動緩衝曲面の緩衝作用を用いて円滑に横摺動しながら爪縁端部にまで移動することで、湾曲変形した爪を平坦状へ矯正治療する手段であるが、当時、屈曲変形部の存在は知見されておらず、そのため爪甲に発症した湾曲変形部位の矯正を目的とするに留まっており、爪縁端部位の屈曲変形部を平坦状に矯正する機能や手段が付されてないという問題がある。On the other hand, in the incurvated nail straightening tool previously proposed by the present applicant in Document 1, the lower leg has a lateral sliding cushioning curved surface for smoothing the lateral sliding of the incurvated nail straightening tool. By providing the nails on both sides of the portion, the incurvated nail correction tool attached to the flat nail tip edge at approximately the center of the nail width can be smoothly laterally slid by using the buffering action of the lateral sliding buffer curved surface. While moving to the end of the nail edge, it is a means to correct and treat the curved and deformed nail to a flat shape, but at that time, the existence of the bent and deformed part was not known, so the curvature that developed on the nail plate The purpose is only to correct the deformed portion, and there is a problem that the function or means for flattening the bent deformed portion of the incurvated nail edge portion is not provided.

前記文献２に掲げた陥入爪矯正具も本出願人が先に提案した矯正具であるが、
変形爪先端縁が収納できる長手方向両側端部へ渡って開口された収容間隙を備えた略コ字状陥入爪矯正具の該収容間隙へ湾曲変形爪を発症している爪先端縁を収容した状態で、該収納間隙を閉じるように該矯正具本体を上下から挟圧によって塑性変形させることで、収容されている変形爪も平状へ圧潰矯正するのだが、爪側端縁部の屈曲変形部を外方向へ平状に横倒変形する手段を付加した矯正能を有していないため、爪溝内でさらに内方向へ陥入するよう鋭角状に変形した該屈曲変形部を挟圧した場合、該屈曲変形部は爪郭軟部組織の一部を巻き込んだ状態で内方向へ圧潰させてしまうことで、刺傷をさらに悪化させてしまう危険な状況を招く問題がある。また、前記文献１同様、屈曲変形部については当時まだ知見されておらず、該屈曲変形部を安全に平坦化矯正する機能や手段が付されてないという問題がある。The ingrown toenail correction tool listed in Document 2 is also a correction tool previously proposed by the applicant.
Approximately U-shaped invaginated claw correction tool with a storage gap opened across both sides in the longitudinal direction where the deformed claw tip edge can be stored. In this state, the deformed claw that is housed is also crushed and straightened flat by plastically deforming the straightening tool body from above and below so as to close the storage gap. Since it does not have the corrective ability to add a means for laterally laterally deforming the deformed portion in the outward direction, the bent deformed portion deformed in a sharp angle so as to be further inwardly recessed in the claw groove is pressed. If this is the case, the bent and deformed portion may be crushed inward with a part of the soft tissue of the claw fold involved, which may lead to a dangerous situation in which the puncture is further exacerbated. Further, as in Document 1, the bending deformed portion has not been known at that time, and there is a problem that a function or means for safely flattening and correcting the bent deformed portion is not provided.

また、前記文献３に掲げた爪矯正具も本出願人が先に提案したものである。当時、屈曲変形部を知見し、該屈曲変形部位の矯正手段を導入した該爪矯正具を発明したのであるが、該矯正具の矯正手段は、爪幅略中央部の平坦爪先端縁部を該矯正具のスリット部へ差し込み、陥入爪を発症している屈曲変形部にまで横摺動することで、該矯正具に具備する成形用側壁によって屈曲変形部を引っ掛けて削ぎ落とすという効果が得られる。しかし、爪厚が薄かったり、爪質の脆弱化が進んでいたりしている場合、該成形用側壁に屈曲変形部を引っ掛けて摺動する際、該屈曲変形部が削られずに引っ掛けた状態で、生爪を剥いだり、屈曲変形部を含む近傍の爪甲を欠損させたり、爪割りを起こさせたり等、症状をさらに悪化させる危険な状況を招くという問題がある。Further, the nail correction tool listed in Document 3 is also proposed by the present applicant. At that time, he discovered the bent and deformed part and invented the nail straightening tool that introduced the correction means for the bent and deformed part. By inserting it into the slit portion of the orthodontic appliance and sliding it laterally to the bent deformed portion where the ingrown toenail has developed, the effect of hooking the bent deformed portion by the molding side wall provided on the orthodontic appliance and scraping it off is obtained. can get. However, when the nail thickness is thin or the nail quality is becoming weaker, when the bending deformed portion is hooked on the molding side wall and slid, the bent deformed portion is not scraped and is hooked. There is a problem that it causes a dangerous situation such as peeling off the raw nail, missing the nail plate in the vicinity including the bent and deformed part, causing the nail cracking, and the like, which further aggravates the symptomatology.

本発明の目的は、これらの課題を解決し、且つ、第１矯正目的である湾曲変形部位（以下、「第１爪変形部位」という）および第２矯正目的である爪郭軟部組織に埋没した屈曲変形部（以下、「第２爪変形部位」という）など、夫々異なる爪部位に発症した爪変形を安全かつ容易に略平状へ矯正治療が行える、加圧平坦化作用を用いた爪平坦化作用双板を提供することにある。An object of the present invention is to solve these problems and to bury it in a curved deformed portion (hereinafter referred to as "first nail deformed portion") which is the first correction purpose and a nail fold soft tissue which is the second correction purpose. Nail flattening using a pressure flattening action that can safely and easily correct nail deformation that develops in different nail parts such as the flexed deformed part (hereinafter referred to as "second nail deformed part"). The purpose is to provide a chemical action double plate.
