Problems solved by technology

However, if bruxism occurs too frequently, this will lead to an increase in the force of chewing, so that the normal, conscious chewing action when eating is carried with too much force, so that painful stimuli that in turn cause the above-mentioned vicious circle occur.

Embodiment Construction

[0030] The drawings are purely schematic and not to scale. Some particular dimensions may have been exaggerated or reduced in scope for clarity. Corresponding parts are provided with the same reference numerals in the figures.

[0031] Fig. 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a device for preventing bruxism according to the invention. In addition to the part shown to be worn in the user's mouth, the device includes, inter alia, an external part having a power supply, a control unit with electronic memory carrying operating software, and the necessary or desired optional other components. The latter, however, are not further shown in the figures for the sake of clarity, but are assumed to be substantially clear to a person skilled in the art.

[0032] The device comprises a jaw rest 1 of thermoplastic synthetic material, such as biocompatible synthetic resin, which is placed entirely on the outside of the upper jaw of the user during use. One or more elements 2 of the b...

Abstract

A device for preventing bruxism comprises a carrier (1) intended for receiving in a mouth of a user. The carrier (1) comprises at least a part (2,3) of an electronic biofeedback system. According to the invention the carrier comprises a jaw-shaped body which is adapted to lie only on an outer side against at least a part of a jaw of the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for preventing bruxism, comprising a bracket intended to be housed in the mouth of a user, the bracket comprising at least part of an electronic biofeedback system. Background technique [0002] Bruxism is an involuntary or subconscious dysfunction occurring day or night, which occurs as a static or dynamic contact between the masticatory surface complexes of the lower and upper jaws, where significant neuromuscular activity occurs. These exposures cannot form part of normal physiological function. Bruxism is also known as clenching and / or grinding of the teeth. [0003] It is suspected that, in most cases, bruxism is caused by tension resulting from the suppression of the flight response. The panic response is a normal instinctive phenomenon not only in animals but also in humans in nature. During rest, the parasympathetic nervous system part of the nervous system is active. The shock response disrupts this rest a...
