Problems solved by technology

[0017] That is to say, for example, in the case of infants or young children or their own lip closing function problems, it is difficult to maintain the state of closing their lips consciously. Inserting such a mouth breathing preventer into the oral cavity not only makes it difficult to make nasal breathing a habit, In addition, since the vestibular plate closes the opening, there is a risk of affecting breathing if nasal breathing cannot be performed.
Furthermore, in order to keep it in the oral cavity, the thin-walled tongue flap should be set larger, so that the thin-walled part that abuts on the dentition is also formed larger, which also affects the dentition.
In addition, in the case of using a strap, there is a fear that it may be accidentally swallowed because the strap is cut

[0050] This lip closure 10 can be used for infants from lactation to weaning period, and adults who are the object of lip function training for nasal breathing recovery training, but the following description will be made for infants.

[0051] figure 1 It is a schematic perspective view showing the lip closure 10 before it is put into the oral cavity. The lip closer 10 in the figure has the main body 11 that inserts in the oral cavity and outside the oral cavity especially such as figure 2 As shown, the lip outer arrangement portion 12 is in contact with the outer side (outer surface) of the lips. In addition, it is preferable to have a s...

Abstract

A lip closing tool capable of prompting infants to conventionalize nasal respiration by promoting the infants to unintentionally close mouths to maintain the closed state of the mouths. The lip closing tool (10) comprises a lip outer arrangement part (12) brought into contact with the outer surfaces of lips and a body (11) disposed in an oral cavity. The body comprises a dentition outer arrangement part (13) disposed on the outer surface of a dentition and extending in the lateral direction and a lip contact part (16) connecting the lip outer arrangement part to the dentition outer arrangement part, brought into contact with the upper and lower lips, and reduced in wall thickness. The dentition outer arrangement part is generally integrally formed of a flexible material, and comprises irritating parts (15) and (15) so that the portions of the dentition outer arrangement part near the right and left end parts can have large volumes.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an improvement of a lip closer used for lip closure training for infants and the like after breastfeeding. Background technique [0002] In the past, the well-known "pacifier" was used for infants from lactation to after weaning, whose nipple-shaped elastic body was placed in the oral cavity to satisfy his sucking desire. [0003] These pacifiers create lip stimulation by placing a body that mimics the mother's nipple into the infant's mouth. [0004] But, although the shape of the main body of the previous pacifier has an effect on promoting the sucking movement of infants who are in the lactation period, it is not suitable for infants who have passed the lactation period and entered the stage of eating weaning food and common food. [0005] That is to say, since the nipple with a larger cross-sectional diameter adopted in this pacifier is inserted into the oral cavity and maintained, the mouth is in a relatively wide...
