Problems solved by technology

[0004] Most of the existing devices used to prevent snoring during sleep use the method of stretching the mandible forward to widen the air passage in the throat, thereby preventing the occurrence of snoring. However, if the mandible cannot be stretched in place or stretched too much not only cannot effectively solve the problem of snoring, but also bring discomfort to the human body

Embodiment Construction

[0027] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] see figure 1 , figure 2 , the present invention includes an upper brace 5 and a lower brace 1, and the lower brace 1 is provided with a stopper 2 for preventing the tongue root from falling backward; see image 3 , Figure 4 The stopper 2 has a wedge-shaped structure, the two ends of the stopper 2 are respectively connected to the inner side of the lower brace 1, the thickness of the front end of the stopper 2 is smaller than that of the rear end, and the thickness changes evenly; the lower surface of the stopper 2 is in close contact with the rear of the tongue, The upper surface is an arched structure adapted to the roof of the mouth. The maximum thickness at the rear end of the block 2 is 10-15mm. The lower surface of the block 2 is uniformly provided with protrusions for increasing friction. Both sides of the inner side of the lower braces 1 ...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of oral cavity correction, and in particular relates to an anti-snore device. The anti-snore device comprises a lower tooth socket, a block used for preventing a root of a tongue from dropping backwards is arranged on the lower tooth socket, the block is of a wedge shape, two ends of the block are connected with inner sides of the lower tooth socket respectively, the thickness of the front end of the block is smaller than that of the rear end of the block, and the thickness changes evenly; the lower surface of the block is in close contact with the rear portion of a tongue body. The block is arranged on the lower tooth socket, the block is designed wedge-shaped, thicker rear portion of the block can effectively prevent a phenomenon of the root of the tongue dropping backwards from occurring during sleeping. Accordingly, the anti-snore device effectively cures snoring.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of orthodontics, and in particular relates to an anti-snoring device. Background technique [0002] Snoring occurs when a person breathes before the air enters the throat, when the air cannot pass easily through the throat due to the narrowing of the throat. Thus, snoring is a symptom indicative of difficulty breathing during sleep. When a person breathes, air passes through soft body parts such as the palate, uvula, tonsils, and tongue. During the day, the surrounding muscles help maintain these body parts in their original position, allowing the passage of air without obstruction and sound. However, during sleep, these muscles relax and sag, narrowing part of the air passage. As a result, the soft tissue vibrates as air passes through the narrowed air passage, creating the snoring sound. [0003] In extreme cases, air passages may be temporarily blocked due to severe muscle relaxation or high obesity d...
