In addition, the bite expansion pipe is a deformable pipe. In this way, the reciprocating flow realizes the expansion or contraction of the volume of the bite expansion pipe. In actual work, the volume of the bite expansion pipe that expands and contracts can realize the opening and closing of the oral cavity. In this way, active oral mastication training is realized. The bite expansion pipe in the bite training part is placed in the oral cavity. In this way, the oral cavity of the training patient can be conveniently realized, and active bite training can be realized.

In this way, the manufacturing is facilitated, and the manufacturing difficulty is reduced. In practical work, the occlusal compaction sleeve is arranged on the occlusal expansion pipe. After the liquid in the occlusal expansion pipe is heated by the heating part, the heat is transferred to the plastic hot deformation mud. In this way, the plastic hot deformation mud is easy to deform, and the occlusion mark of the tooth customization can be easily achieved, so that the customized service can be achieved.
[0011] Further, the communicating pipe is further provided with a connecting pipe opening, and the connecting pipe opening is arranged on a section of the communicating pipe away from the pump body.
