Problems solved by technology

[0014] However, depending on the state of the patient's oral cavity and dentition, there may be cases where it is not possible to fix the oral appliance to the upper teeth due to loss of upper molars, etc.
[0015] In this case, simply changing the part for fixing the oral appliance from the upper teeth (molars) to the lower teeth (molars) will cause great inconvenience and pain to the patient

Abstract

Disclosed is a mandible teeth fixing oral device enabling the mandible to naturally move even when the oral device, to be fixed to the mandible teeth, is worn. The mandible teeth fixing oral device according to one embodiment comprises: a body having a shape corresponding to a set of teeth; a lower groove formed at the lower part of the body such that the mandible teeth are inserted therein; an upper groove formed at the upper part of the body such that the maxilla teeth are inserted therein so as to allow the maxilla to retract at a predetermined distance; and a maxilla tooth guide part formed to extend from the body so as to face the lateral side of the maxilla teeth, wherein the lower groove further includes: a mandible posterior tooth fixing groove formed so as to allow at least one part of the left and right molars of the mandible teeth to strongly engage with each other through frictional force; and a mandible anterior tooth groove formed so as to hold the remaining mandible teeth excluding the left and right molars. When the oral device for fixing the mandible teeth is used, aches, malocclusion, or a temporomandibular joint disorder do not occur, unlike in a conventional oral device, even when the oral device is worn, and the flow of air through the airway is smooth such that sleep apnea, snoring, rhinitis, or paranasal sinusitis can be relieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention discloses an oral appliance, in particular to a mandibular fixed oral appliance with a fixing part between teeth formed on the lower jaw. Background technique [0002] During sleep, the tongue hangs back in the mouth, which puts pressure on the airways and narrows them. [0003] In this state, the inhaled air does not all enter the narrow airways, but instead remains in the mouth. In addition, the remaining air vibrates the soft tissue around the airway, which is called snoring. [0004] Snoring is often accompanied by obstructive sleep apnea. [0005] To prevent snoring and sleep apnea, CPAP (Constant Positive Airway Pressure) is used to force the supply of air to the airways during sleep. However, while such CPAP can be effective for snoring and sleep apnea, it is inconvenient and expensive to use, and sometimes CPAP produces side effects. [0006] In addition, surgical intervention to remove surrounding prolapsed soft tissues, eg, ...
