Functional snore guard

Abstract

The invention relates to a functional snore guard, and relates to the technical field of medical appliances. The defects of the current snore guard that the size is larger, the foreign body sensation is strong, and the snore guard is in loose contact with an oral cavity to rub teeth and mucosa, which easily leads to tooth and mucosal injury, are overcome. The functional snore guard comprises a fixing component matched with an upper jaw of the oral cavity, wherein a hook fixedly connected with teeth is arranged on the periphery of the fixing component, and the fixing component is movably connected with a flip plate through a movable shaft; and the flip plate flips to stimulate the lingualis under the self-weight action when the root of tongue falls back to cause swallowing reflex to allow the tongue to return. The purpose of snoring stop is achieved by the training and stimulating reflection of the flip plate to the tongue. On the one hand, the appliance can be worn on all day, the lingualis is trained in a sober state, so that the lingualis is always in a normal position; and on the other hand, when the root of tongue falls back, the flip plate can stimulate the back of the tongue to cause the swallowing reflex to allow the tongue to return, so that the occurrence of fall-back of the tongue is reduced or eliminated so as to achieve the purpose of snoring stop.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to an appliance for tongue training and reflex stimulation to prevent snoring. Background technique [0002] The tongue is a muscular organ, rich and varied nerves and muscles enable the tongue to undergo many changes in a short period of time. The shape of the normal tongue is flat, which is consistent with the shape of the mandibular dental arch. It is located in the mandibular lingual arch. [0003] Tongue root drop is a change form of the tongue, which usually occurs during sleep. First, the tongue muscles contract into a ball. At the root of the tongue, the tongue becomes shorter and thicker, and the back of the tongue is arched, filling the pharynx and blocking the airway. When the human body is lying on its back, under the action of gravity, the tongue group hangs backward, which aggravates the airway obstruction. When the breathing airflow passes through the airway,...
