Muscular function appliance for preventing and treating early-stage dental-maxillofacial deformities

Abstract

The invention discloses a muscular function appliance for preventing and treating early-stage dental-maxillofacial deformities. The basic structure of the muscular function appliance comprises a lip and cheek screen, upper and lower tooth eruption rails, lip thorns, a tongue ring, a tongue bracket, breathing holes, a lip ring hole and a lip ring. The appliance mainly corrects the bad maxillofacial muscular functions through the different designs of the parts to influence development of the maxilla and the mandible, the correcting concept is added into the appliance, and therefore the purpose of correcting the dental-maxillofacial deformities is achieved. According to the appliance, development of the maxilla or the mandible is stimulated by adjusting the height of the lip and cheek screen and the positions of the lip thorns according to the pathogenesis and the disease symptoms of a patient; the surface of the appliance is provided with the breathing holes and the lip ring hole (used by being matched with the lip ring), and the breathing holes and the lip ring hole are used for mouth breathing habit correcting and lip muscle training respectively; the tongue ring is mainly used for guiding a tongue body to be placed at the correct position to coordinate the relative position relation of the maxilla and the mandible. The prepared muscular function appliance is better in pertinence, more stable in treatment effect, more convenient to use and capable of meeting the requirements of orthodontics of the patient and clinical application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedical device improvement, and specifically relates to a muscle function appliance for preventing and treating early dental and maxillofacial deformities based on different types of clinical dental and maxillofacial deformities. Background technique [0002] With the continuous progress of society, people pay more and more attention to the aesthetics and function of the dento-maxillofacial. Many dental and maxillofacial deformities are caused by various muscle dysfunctions in early development, so more and more patients and doctors have begun to notice that bad mouth breathing, tongue habits and swallowing movements can lead to irregular dentition and affect the appearance and function. Myofunctional appliances are often used to correct dental, muscular and mild skeletal dentofacial deformities in growing children and adolescents. It can give full play to the natural growth potential of the body, get...

Problems solved by technology

In recent years, the concept of early orthodontics has become more and more popular, but orthodontists lack simple and efficient orthodontic treatment methods. Up to now, there is still no classification method for the concept of overcorrection, muscle function appliances, and clinical dental and maxillofacial deformities.
