Problems solved by technology

Although this kind of snoring prevention braces has a certain snoring effect, it cannot solve the problem of loosening and falling back of the tongue root and soft palate muscles. After wearing for a long time, the tongue root and soft palate will still relax and fall back, blocking the pharyngeal airway again and causing snoring
Practice has proved that this kind of anti-snoring braces can not solve most snoring problems, and the effect will decrease significantly after wearing for a long time

Embodiment Construction

[0024] The structure and beneficial technical effects of the present invention are further illustrated below with accompanying drawings and examples, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to these examples and accompanying drawings.

[0025] Such as Figure 1-4 shown. U-shaped groove bottom plate 8, outer side plate 2 and inner side plate 4 are made into one, and the upper tooth groove 3 and the lower tooth groove 5 etc. that they form, size and shape are basically consistent with existing silica gel anti-snoring braces. In the bottom of the U-shaped groove, the inner conductor 13 is pre-installed, and a small socket (not shown) is installed on the outer side plate, so as to be connected or disconnected with the outer conductor 1 at any time. Take a stomatological medical stainless steel wire, bend it into a clockwork as a bifurcated electrode, wherein the left bifurcated electrode includes the left electrode upper fork 6 and the left electrode lower fork 7, a...

Abstract

The present invention is an electric anti-snoring mouthpiece, which has grooves for upper teeth and grooves for lower teeth. The side plate is composed of a pair of electrodes on both sides of the opening of the inner side plate that are respectively in contact with the soft palate and the base of the tongue. The pair of electrodes are respectively connected to the positive and negative poles of the power supply. The voltage of the power supply is a constant DC power supply of 3-4.5v Or pulse power supply, and a regulating switch. When in use, let the upper teeth and lower teeth of the patient enter the grooves of the upper teeth and the lower teeth respectively and clench them tightly. The two electrodes are respectively in contact with the base of the tongue and the soft palate on the same side. Turn on the power and adjust the voltage to feel comfortable. Slight contraction avoids the oppression and narrowing deformation of the pharyngeal airway by the tongue base and soft palate falling backward, so as to achieve the purpose of eliminating snoring. The invention can effectively eliminate snoring, and at the same time, has simple structure, low manufacturing cost, convenient use, safety, reliability, non-toxicity and harmlessness, and the symptoms of users are obviously alleviated or the elimination rate reaches 99%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electric-stimulated anti-snoring mouthpiece. Supplies for snoring patients to eliminate snoring. Background technique [0002] Snoring is a very common symptom. During sleep, the muscles of the base of the tongue and the soft palate relax and fall back, compressing the pharyngeal airway and narrowing it. When the breathing air passes through, the surrounding tissues vibrate and make noise. Severe snoring not only seriously affects the sleep of relatives and friends, but also causes sleep apnea, which leads to hypoxia and damages the body, leading to a series of diseases in the heart, brain, liver, kidney and other organs, and even death due to breathing stop during sleep. [0003] In the existing technology, the anti-snoring braces are a kind of silicone product, which has a thickness of about 4 mm, and is consistent with the shape of the dentition. groove. When wearing it, the lower jaw must be stretched forward so that ...
