Left-and-right movement mechanism for mandible treating device

Abstract

The invention discloses a left-and-right movement mechanism for a mandible treating device. The left-and-right movement mechanism for the mandible treating device includes a motor (1), a transmissionmechanism, a worm (6), a transmission rod (7) and a rack (8); the worm (6) is horizontally arranged, an output shaft (2) on the motor (1) is connected with one end of the worm (6) through the transmission mechanism, the worm (6) is connected with the rack (8) through the transmission rod (7), the length direction of the rack (8) is parallel to that of the worm (6), and the rack (8) is connected with the mandible of a patient. The left-and-right movement mechanism for the mandible treating device overcomes the problems that in the prior art, mandible movement dysfunction is mainly clinically treated by conservative treatment, and patients' mouth opening limitation and other symptoms are not ideally improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of wearable treatment devices for mandibular movement dysfunction, in particular to a left and right movement mechanism used on a mandible treatment device. Background technique [0002] Mandibular motor dysfunction is a common symptom of the oral cavity, which is specifically manifested as difficulty in opening the mouth and limited opening. It belongs to temporomandibular joint disorder syndrome clinically. Usually the patient's mouth opening is small, the mouth opening process is extremely painful, accompanied by pain and noise in the temporomandibular joint area, masticatory muscle weakness, unable to complete the normal masticatory function, which seriously affects the patient's oral cavity and affects the patient's life. bring great inconvenience. Clinical statistics at home and abroad have found that patients with mandibular motor dysfunction and temporomandibular joint disorder syndrome account for a relative...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In view of the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to overcome the problems in the prior art that the treatment of mandibular motor dysfunction is mostly conservative and the improvement of symptoms such as limited opening of the patient is not ideal, so as to provide a It can provide auxiliary movement that matches the movement track of the human jaw, so as to help the patient's jaw move left and right, and avoid masticatory muscle dysfunction and further deterioration of adhesions around the temporomandibular joint. The left and right movement mechanism used on the jaw treatment device
