Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of oral technology, and in particular relates to a multifunctional integrated double-jaw brace and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As we all know, snoring not only seriously affects the sleep quality of oneself and one's family, but also poses serious health risks. Snoring can reduce ventilation, lead to insufficient blood oxygen concentration, and cause prolonged organ hypoxia, which in turn can disrupt metabolism and reduce various bodily functions, causing significant harm to the body. Statistics show that 50% of patients with obstructive sleep apnea suffer from hypertension, which can lead to coronary heart disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, and other conditions.

[0003] Snoring is a type of snoring sound that occurs when people are asleep due to the relaxation of the jaw joint and the backward drop of the tongue, which causes airway compression and reduced tracheal ventilation. When people sleep on their backs due to fatigue, alcohol, etc., their muscles relax, and they breathe through their mouths, making the snoring louder and the discomfort caused by snoring more obvious. Clinical trials have shown that keeping the jaw closed during sleep is effective in preventing snoring and improving sleep quality. Therefore, it is imperative to solve the problem of mouth breathing caused by the mandibular droop, and it is very necessary to develop a product that can help people avoid mouth breathing while sleeping.

[0004] Many existing snoring control devices utilize a split-body design with an adjustable mandibular advancement mechanism. These devices are complex, expensive, bulky, and thick, making them uncomfortable to wear. Therefore, developing a low-cost, comfortable, integrated bimaxillary brace has significant economic and social benefits. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a multifunctional integrated bimaxillary braces and a manufacturing method thereof.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in the present invention is as follows: A multifunctional integrated double-jaw brace, characterized in that the multifunctional integrated double-jaw brace comprises a maxillary brace, a mandibular brace and an adhesive.

[0007] An upper boss is provided on the outer side of the maxillary brace, a lower boss is provided on the outer side of the mandibular brace, and the adhesive is located between the upper boss and the lower boss.

[0008] The upper boss and the lower boss may be in the shape of a circular column, a square column or an elliptical column.

[0009] The upper boss includes a first upper boss at the left upper molar position, a second upper boss at the right upper molar position, and a third upper boss at the upper central incisor position; the lower boss includes a first lower boss at the left lower molar position, a second lower boss at the right lower molar position, and a third lower boss at the lower central incisor position. The first upper boss and the first lower boss are connected by the adhesive, the second upper boss and the second lower boss are connected by the adhesive, and the third upper boss and the third lower boss are connected by the adhesive. The purpose of bonding the first upper boss and the first lower boss, the second upper boss and the second lower boss by the adhesive is to fix the upper and lower braces, thereby preventing snoring with the mouth open; the purpose of bonding the third upper boss and the third lower boss by the adhesive is to seal the front teeth and stabilize the occlusion of the upper and lower braces.

[0010] The first upper boss and the second upper boss are 1-2 mm higher than the occlusal plane of the maxillary braces molars, the third upper boss is 0-2 mm higher than the occlusal plane of the maxillary braces molars, the first lower boss and the second lower boss are 1-2 mm higher than the occlusal plane of the mandibular braces molars, the third lower boss is 0-2 mm higher than the occlusal plane of the mandibular braces molars, and the adhesive height is 0.5-1 mm.

[0011] The first upper boss and the second upper boss are arranged at the molar position of the maxillary braces 1, and the molars can be the first premolar, the second premolar, the first molar and the second molar; the first lower boss and the second lower boss are arranged at the molar position of the mandibular braces, and the molars can be the first premolar, the second premolar, the first molar and the second molar.

[0012] The multifunctional integrated double-jaw braces can be used to stop snoring and prevent teeth grinding.

[0013] A method for manufacturing a multifunctional integrated bimaxillary braces is characterized in that the manufacturing process is: taking a mold - modeling - 3D printing a dental mold - laminating - cutting and polishing - bonding.

[0014] The molding process is as follows: a tooth impression or CBCT (oral scan) method is used to obtain a tooth data model of the patient's upper and lower jaws in a resting state, and the upper and lower jaw bonding positions are established according to the safe range of the resting jaw position; the modeling process is as follows: a raised platform is designed on the occlusal surface of the left and right molars of the patient's upper / lower jaw tooth data model, and the height of the raised platform is 1-2mm; a raised platform is designed at the central incisor position of the upper / lower jaw tooth model, and the height of the raised platform is 0-2mm; a 0.5-1mm adhesive bonding space is reserved in the middle of the corresponding upper and lower jaw raised platforms, thereby establishing a data model of the patient's dental mold; the 3D dental mold printing process is as follows: a 3D printer is used to print the patient's dental mold The data model is 3D printed to obtain physical models of upper and lower jaw dental molds; the lamination process is: using a lamination machine and a dental film to lamination and form the physical model of the dental mold to obtain the upper and lower jaw braces semi-finished products of the required patient; the cutting and polishing process is: using a tool or laser to cut the upper and lower jaw braces semi-finished products along the gum line, and using a polishing head to polish the edges to obtain the upper and lower jaw braces of the required patient; the bonding process is: using commercially available UV glue to apply on the bosses of the upper and lower jaw braces, and then aligning the bosses of the upper and lower jaw braces, using a UV lamp to irradiate for 10S to fix the occlusal position, and then applying UV glue again around the boss connection surfaces of the upper and lower jaw braces to tighten them, and then using a UV lamp to irradiate until the UV glue is cured.

[0015] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The present invention provides a multifunctional integrated double-jaw brace. The maxillary brace and the mandibular brace are bonded together with an adhesive to form an integrated structure. The structure is simple and can effectively prevent mouth breathing. The upper and lower bosses with a height of <2 mm are provided to adjust the distance between the two jaws, making the double-jaw brace comfortable to wear. In addition, the double-jaw brace of the present invention can be used not only to stop snoring but also to prevent teeth grinding, thus having multiple functions. The manufacturing method of the multifunctional integrated double-jaw brace of the present invention has a simple process, does not require the mold design of traditional silicone anti-snoring braces, and is low in cost. The present invention has high practical value and deserves to be widely promoted and applied. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
