Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oral muscle training, in particular to a masseter muscle training device. Background Art
[0002] The normal function of the oral and maxillofacial area is extremely important. It helps with eating, chewing, swallowing, correct pronunciation, and the expression of various expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. These movements are inseparable from the movement of the oral muscles. The disuse and atrophy of facial muscles (such as the buccinator and levator anguli oris) will make people's faces sunken and no longer plump, and they will not be able to express the desired expressions freely, which can easily have a negative impact on interpersonal communication. People will not be able to chew and swallow well, resulting in poor digestion of food, nutrient loss, malnutrition, and even food or saliva entering the respiratory tract, causing aspiration pneumonia and lung infection. Correct pronunciation also requires the assistance of oral muscles, such as the movement of the lips, tongue, and soft palate. Otherwise, inaccurate pronunciation will also be a barrier to communication.
[0003] Especially for the elderly, due to the degeneration of oral function, their swallowing ability is getting worse and worse. If they are not careful, saliva and food will enter the trachea or lungs, causing aspiration pneumonia, and even life-threatening. Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of aspiration pneumonia, oral exercises that encourage the elderly to keep their mouths clean and enhance oral movements have emerged. However, oral exercises are suitable for people who are conscious and have the ability to move independently. For people who are unconscious or have lost the ability to act independently, external force is needed to achieve the above-mentioned oral muscle exercises. However, in clinical work, the shortage of nursing human resources has made the implementation of oral muscle exercises within the clinical scope very limited.
[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to provide a masseter muscle training device to solve the technical defects proposed in the above technology. Utility Model Content

The silicone fixing belt can withstand repeated cleaning and disinfection and has excellent waterproof performance.
[0018] (3) By providing a fixing strap, a silicone anti-slip layer and ventilation holes, the fixing strap can be worn on the face when the device is used. The built-in massage balls on the inside of the fixing strap can massage both sides of the user's cheeks. The silicone anti-slip layer and ventilation holes on the fixing strap can maintain breathability when worn. The silicone anti-slip layer on the fixing strap does not absorb liquid and is not easy to breed bacteria. This product can be used on patients who are conscious or unconscious but in stable condition. This product is rechargeable and does not directly contact the AC power supply, which is more convenient and safer. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
