Ligula habit appliance

Abstract

The invention provides a ligula habit appliance. A main body material is a latex component, and is in an adjustable metallic framework structure. The appliance comprises a lip bumper, a drag hook, a palate bead and an occlusal pad, wherein an metallic framework of which the deformation can be adjusted is added to inside of a latex main body of the lip bumper, so that adjustment according to different soft tissue conditions of different patients is facilitated, and lip and cheek frenum and mucosa are prevented from being oppressed; a metal ring retractor extends out of an incisor teeth position in an upper jaw of the outer side of the lip bumper, and can penetrate through an index finger, so that training of lip muscle functions is facilitated; the palate bead is located on the inner side of the appliance; an ellipsoid of which the diameter is 5*10mm is arranged on the position corresponding to incisive papilla of the upper jaw, and is suitable for training the tongue muscle position; and the occlusal pad is made of a simple latex material, and comprises canine teeth, lateral teeth and incisor teeth on the left side and the right side; second molar teeth, which extend to a posterior area, of the occlusal pad are adopted as a special design for open-bite patents.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a lip tongue habit corrector, which is used for functional training of labioglossus muscles and assists in the correction of malocclusion. technical background [0002] 1. The function of functional correction: [0003] Function determines the shape of the teeth, jaw, and face, and the shape affects the function. The abnormality and imbalance of any group of muscle strength among them will cause tooth, jaw, and face deformities. In the past, orthodontic treatment often focused on the teeth and bones while ignoring the role of soft tissues in the mouth and around the mouth. In fact, the normal shape and function of the soft tissues in the mouth and around the mouth have a great impact on maintaining the normal position of the dentition. Functional orthotics refer to a class of orthotics that promote occlusal development and craniofacial bone growth by changing the muscular environment of the maxillofacial region. [0004] 2. H...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0008] Most of the correction of lip and tongue bad habits is eliminated by comprehensive means. Oral appliance is an important treatment method. For the correction of tongue habits, tongue spurs and or palatal nets are mostly used, and oral vestibular shields are often used for lip muscle dysfunction. Patients with abnormal lip and tongue function at the same time, currently there is no suitable orthotic to train the function of lip and tongue muscles to coordinate with the development of the maxillofacial region
