Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of oral snore preventers, and particularly relates to a snore preventer device. Background Art
[0002] A snore preventer is a device that helps reduce or eliminate snoring symptoms. It mainly includes types such as oral orthodontic appliances and electronic snore preventers. Oral orthodontic appliances are usually customized according to the patient's tooth model. By stretching the mandible forward or restricting the tongue from falling back, the airway space is enlarged, and the airflow obstruction is reduced, thereby alleviating snoring. Electronic snore preventers mostly utilize biosensing technology. When snoring is detected, they will emit gentle electrical pulses or vibrations to stimulate the neuromuscles and adjust the breathing state during sleep. Snore preventers are convenient to use, do not require surgery, and have good effects on mild and moderate snoring patients. They can improve sleep quality and reduce health risks caused by snoring. At the same time, snore preventers also have some limitations. For example, oral orthodontic appliances may cause oral discomfort, and electronic snore preventers may not be obvious in the treatment of severe snoring patients, and both require patients to use them consistently to achieve better effects.
[0003] Most of the existing snore preventers are fixed types and cannot adjust the position of the mandible during use. When the mandible protrudes forward too much, discomfort will occur, resulting in the situation of being unable to fall asleep or affecting sleep quality. At the same time, some existing adjustable snore preventers mostly have relatively complex structures, which in turn lead to obvious oral foreign body sensations, increasing discomfort, and the adjustment method is relatively cumbersome. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and provide a snore preventer device.
[0005] The technical solution adopted to solve the above technical problem is: to provide a snore preventer device, including an upper tooth shell and a lower tooth shell. Customized dental appliance components are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both the upper tooth shell and the lower tooth shell. Silicone pads are fixedly connected to the front ends of the mutually approaching sides of the upper tooth shell and the lower tooth shell. Adjusting and limiting mechanisms are fixedly connected to the rear ends of both sides of the bottom of the upper tooth shell. Sliding adjusting mechanisms are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two adjusting and limiting mechanisms. Linking silicone mechanisms are fixedly connected between the bottoms of the two sliding adjusting mechanisms and the top of the lower tooth shell. Adjusting groove mechanisms are arranged at the tops of the two linking silicone mechanisms. Two side limiting plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the lower tooth shell. Opening and closing limiting mechanisms are fixedly connected to the front ends of both sides of the top of the lower tooth shell on the side of the side limiting plates.
[0006] Further, the customized dental appliance assembly includes a soft connection gasket fixedly connected to the inner surface of the bottom of the upper dental shell or the lower dental shell. A silicone dental appliance main body is fixedly connected between the soft connection gasket and the upper dental shell or the lower dental shell. The silicone dental appliance main body includes an integrally connected incisor engaging groove and two molar engaging grooves.
[0007] Through the above technical solution, during use, the overall snore stopper is cleaned, then the mandible is advanced forward, the overall device is engaged in the oral cavity, and the upper and lower rows of teeth are stuck inside the corresponding silicone dental appliance main body. The silicone dental appliance main body is a customized structure that can fully engage with the user's tooth structure to ensure the stability of the engagement.
[0008] Further, the adjustment and limit mechanism includes a fixed connection plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper dental shell. Side limit tracks are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed connection plate. A port sealing plate is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixed connection plate. An adjustment block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed connection plate.
[0009] Through the above technical solution, during the use process, the upper dental shell and the adjustment and limit mechanism are an integral structure, connected to the maxilla, and are relatively stationary as a whole. Except for the corresponding customized dental appliance assembly, the other components are movable components, connected to the mandible, and drive the other components to move when the mandible is adjusted.
[0010] Further, the sliding adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment sliding plate slidably connected to the bottom of the adjustment and limit mechanism. Side limit strips are fixedly connected to both sides of the adjustment sliding plate. A clamping connection plate is fixedly connected to one side of the adjustment sliding plate. Two fixed blocks are fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping connection plate on the side far from the adjustment sliding plate.
[0011] Through the above technical solution, in the closed state, the adjustment block is engaged in the adjustment slot mechanism, thereby realizing the fixation between the overall adjustment slot mechanism and the linkage silicone mechanism and the upper dental shell, realizing the limit fixation between the upper dental shell and the lower dental shell, avoiding the retraction of the mandible. At the same time, the clamping connection plate is inside the opening and closing limit mechanism, and the two fixed blocks are at the bottom of the corresponding inclined plane blocks, and the clamping of the fixed blocks is completed through the corresponding integral clamping block, so that the overall sliding adjustment mechanism and the opening and closing limit mechanism realize the vertical limit, thereby avoiding the upper and lower separation of the upper dental shell and the lower dental shell.
[0012] Further, the adjustment sliding plate and the two side limit strips are an integral structure, and the front and rear ends of the bottom of the clamping connection plate are inclined plane structures.
[0013] Through the above technical solution, it is ensured that the inclined plane structure at the bottom of the clamping connection plate can be stably inserted into the opening and closing limit mechanism during subsequent closing.
[0014] Further, the linkage silicone mechanism includes a first fixed silicone sheet fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding adjustment mechanism. One end of the first fixed silicone sheet is fixedly connected to a first inclined silicone seat. The other side of the first inclined silicone seat is fixedly connected to a U-shaped elastic silicone sheet. The other end of the U-shaped elastic silicone sheet is fixedly connected to a second fixed silicone sheet at the bottom of the first inclined silicone seat. The other end of the second fixed silicone sheet is fixedly connected to a second inclined silicone seat. An installation groove corresponding to the adjustment slot mechanism is formed at the top of the first inclined silicone seat.
[0015] Through the above technical solution, in the closed state, the fixation between the adjustment limiting mechanism and the adjustment slot mechanism is used to fix the first inclined silicone seat. Further, when the lower jaw wants to drive the second inclined silicone seat to move downward, the inclination and extrusion force of the first inclined silicone seat are used to limit the second inclined silicone seat, avoiding the retraction of the lower jaw.
[0016] Further, the second fixed silicone sheet and the second inclined silicone seat are of an integral structure and are both fixedly connected to the top of the lower tooth housing. The integral structure of the first fixed silicone sheet and the first inclined silicone seat and the integral structure of the second fixed silicone sheet and the second inclined silicone seat are in a centrosymmetric structure and are in mutual contact.
[0017] Through the above technical solution, during adjustment, when the lower jaw extends and then opens, first, the integral structure of the second fixed silicone sheet and the second inclined silicone seat moves forward with the lower jaw, disengaging from the first fixed silicone sheet and the first inclined silicone seat, causing the U-shaped elastic silicone sheet to deform. Then, as the lower jaw opens, the second fixed silicone sheet and the second inclined silicone seat move. At this time, the first inclined silicone seat has no support, causing the adjustment slot mechanism to fall, thereby releasing the limit with the adjustment limiting mechanism.
[0018] Further, the adjustment slot mechanism includes an installation housing clamped on the top of the linkage silicone mechanism. The inner wall of the installation housing is fixedly connected to a slot base. A plurality of integral limiting protrusions are fixedly connected inside the slot base. A strengthening connecting piece is fixedly connected to the bottom of the installation housing.
[0019] Through the above technical solution, during closing, the adjustment block is inserted between the plurality of limiting protrusions to achieve limiting fixation and avoid the retraction of the lower jaw.
[0020] Further, the opening and closing limiting mechanism includes a side fixing seat fixedly connected to the top of the lower tooth housing. A triangular guiding bar is fixedly connected to the top of the side fixing seat. Side closing plates are fixedly connected to both the front and rear ends of the side fixing seat. Two receiving grooves are formed on one side of the side fixing seat. The inner walls of the two receiving grooves are both slidably connected with inclined surface movable blocks. Two return springs are installed between one side of each of the two inclined surface movable blocks and the inner wall of the receiving groove. An integrated clamping block is fixedly connected to the other side of each of the two inclined surface movable blocks.
[0021] Through the above technical solution, after adjusting the position of the lower jaw, the lower jaw closes and then drives the upper tooth housing and the lower tooth housing to close. At this time, the clamping connecting plate is inserted into the opening and closing limiting mechanism. The fixed clamping block squeezes the inclined surface movable block by pressing the inclined surface of the upper half of the inclined surface movable block until the fixed clamping block resets to the bottom of the inclined surface movable block. Under the action of the return spring, the inclined surface movable block is reset, and then the integrated clamping block limits the fixed clamping block, preventing the upper tooth housing and the lower tooth housing from opening, thereby avoiding the situation of the user's mouth opening during sleep. At the same time, the limiting effect between the adjusting clamping block and the adjusting clamping groove mechanism is also ensured. When opening, the lower jaw is protruded forward, so that the overall opening and closing limiting mechanism moves forward relative to the sliding adjustment mechanism, driving the two inclined surface movable blocks to move forward, and the two stationary fixed clamping blocks are disengaged from the corresponding integrated clamping block restrictions. At this time, the lower jaw can be opened.
[0022] Further, the side of the inclined surface movable block away from the return spring is a triangular double-inclined surface structure. The inclined surface movable block and the integrated clamping block are of an integrated structure, and the integrated clamping block is of an inverted trapezoidal structure.
[0023] Through the above technical solution, it is ensured that when the fixed clamping block descends, the upper inclined surface of the triangular shape compresses the inclined surface movable block to complete the clamping. After the overall inclined surface movable block moves forward, the fixed clamping block can disengage from the integrated clamping block structure and rise along the lower inclined surface of the inclined surface movable block. At the same time, the integrated clamping block of the inverted trapezoidal structure can provide guidance for the rising of the inclined surface movable block.
[0024] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) By designing an adjustment and limiting mechanism, a sliding adjustment mechanism, a linkage silicone mechanism, an adjustment slot mechanism, and an opening and closing limiting mechanism, the mandible can be opened by moving the mandible forward a small distance, and then the position of the mandible can be adjusted within the set range of the device to ensure the wearing comfort. After opening the mandible and adjusting it to a comfortable position, then closing the mandible. At this time, the first-step limiting can be achieved through the adjustment and limiting mechanism and the adjustment slot mechanism, avoiding the retraction of the mandible. At the same time, the clamping and limiting of the sliding adjustment mechanism and the opening and closing limiting mechanism can prevent the upper and lower jaws from opening autonomously during sleep, and also ensure the stability of the first-step limiting. Users can realize the adjustment of the snore stopper by moving the mandible forward, opening the mandible, adjusting the mandible, and closing the mandible. The operation is simple, and the structure is simple. (2) By designing a linkage silicone mechanism, when the mandible is closed, the transmission of the supporting force is realized through the mutual fitting of the inclined surfaces between the first inclined surface silicone seat and the second inclined surface silicone seat in the linkage silicone mechanism, avoiding the retraction of the mandible. At the same time, through the movable U-shaped elastic silicone sheet, it can also be realized that when the mandible moves forward, the second inclined surface silicone seat and the first inclined surface silicone seat can be separated without affecting each other. When the mandible is opened, the overall linkage silicone mechanism can also drive the sliding adjustment mechanism to move with the mandible, ensuring that the sliding adjustment mechanism and the opening and closing limiting mechanism can achieve alignment and clamping when closed.

Detailed implementation manners
[0027] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0028] Such as Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, a snore stopper device according to this embodiment includes an upper dental shell 1 and a lower dental shell 2. Customized dental brace assemblies 3 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the upper dental shell 1 and the lower dental shell 2. The customized dental brace assembly 3 includes a soft connection gasket 301 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the bottom of the upper dental shell 1 or the lower dental shell 2. A silicone dental brace body 302 is fixedly connected between the soft connection gasket 301 and the upper dental shell 1 or the lower dental shell 2. The silicone dental brace body 302 includes an incisor engaging groove 3021 and two molar engaging grooves 3022 which are integrally connected. During use, the whole snore stopper is cleaned, then the mandible is advanced forward, and the whole device is engaged in the oral cavity, and the upper and lower rows of teeth are stuck inside the corresponding silicone dental brace body 302. Among them, the silicone dental brace body 302 is a customized structure, which can completely engage with the tooth structure of the user to ensure the stability of the engagement. Silicone pads 4 are fixedly connected to the front ends of the mutually approaching sides of the upper dental shell 1 and the lower dental shell 2.
[0029] As Figures 1-6 shown, adjusting and limiting mechanisms 5 are fixedly connected to the rear ends of both sides of the bottom of the upper dental shell 1. The adjusting and limiting mechanism 5 includes a fixed connection plate 501 fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper dental shell 1. Side limiting tracks 502 are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed connection plate 501. A port blocking plate 503 is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixed connection plate 501. An adjusting block 504 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed connection plate 501. During use, the upper dental shell 1 and the adjusting and limiting mechanism 5 are an integral structure and are connected to the maxilla, and are relatively stationary as a whole. Except for the corresponding customized dental brace assembly 3, the remaining components are movable components and are connected to the mandible, and drive the remaining components to move when the mandible is adjusted.
[0030] As Figures 1-12As shown, a sliding adjustment mechanism 6 is slidably connected to the inner walls of both of the two adjustment limit mechanisms 5. The sliding adjustment mechanism 6 includes an adjustment sliding plate 601 slidably connected to the bottom of the adjustment limit mechanism 5. Side limit strips 602 are fixedly connected to both sides of the adjustment sliding plate 601. A clamping connection plate 603 is fixedly connected to one side of the adjustment sliding plate 601. Two fixed clamping blocks 604 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping connection plate 603 on the side away from the adjustment sliding plate 601. In the closed state, the adjustment clamping block 504 is clamped in the adjustment slot mechanism 8, thereby realizing the fixation of the overall adjustment slot mechanism 8 and the linkage silicone mechanism 7 to the upper tooth housing 1, realizing the limit fixation between the upper tooth housing 1 and the lower tooth housing 2, avoiding mandibular retrusion. At the same time, the clamping connection plate 603 is inside the opening and closing limit mechanism 10, and the two fixed clamping blocks 604 are at the bottom of the corresponding inclined surface movable block 1005, and the clamping of the fixed clamping blocks 604 is completed by the corresponding integral clamping block 1007, so that the overall sliding adjustment mechanism 6 and the opening and closing limit mechanism 10 realize vertical limit, thereby avoiding the upper tooth housing 1 and the lower tooth housing 2 from separating up and down. The adjustment sliding plate 601 and the two side limit strips 602 are of an integral structure, and the front and rear ends of the bottom of the clamping connection plate 603 are of inclined surface structures, ensuring that the inclined surface structure at the bottom of the clamping connection plate 603 can stably insert into the opening and closing limit mechanism 10 during subsequent closing.
[0031] As Figures 1-12As shown in the figure, a linkage silicone mechanism 7 is fixedly connected between the bottom of each of the two sliding adjustment mechanisms 6 and the top of the lower tooth housing 2. The linkage silicone mechanism 7 includes a first fixed silicone sheet 701 fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding adjustment mechanism 6. One end of the first fixed silicone sheet 701 is fixedly connected to a first inclined silicone seat 702. The other side of the first inclined silicone seat 702 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped elastic silicone sheet 703. The other end of the U-shaped elastic silicone sheet 703 is fixedly connected to a second fixed silicone sheet 704 at the bottom of the first inclined silicone seat 702. The other end of the second fixed silicone sheet 704 is fixedly connected to a second inclined silicone seat 705. An installation groove 706 corresponding to the adjustment slot mechanism 8 is formed at the top of the first inclined silicone seat 702. In the closed state, the first inclined silicone seat 702 is fixed by the fixation between the adjustment limit mechanism 5 and the adjustment slot mechanism 8. Thus, when the lower jaw wants to drive the second inclined silicone seat 705 to move downward, the second inclined silicone seat 705 is limited by the inclined surface and the extrusion force of the first inclined silicone seat 702, avoiding the retraction of the lower jaw. The second fixed silicone sheet 704 and the second inclined silicone seat 705 are of an integral structure and are both fixedly connected to the top of the lower tooth housing 2. The integral structure of the first fixed silicone sheet 701 and the first inclined silicone seat 702 and the integral structure of the second fixed silicone sheet 704 and the second inclined silicone seat 705 are in a central symmetry structure and are mutually attached. During adjustment, when the lower jaw extends and then opens, first, the integral structure of the second fixed silicone sheet 704 and the second inclined silicone seat 705 moves forward with the lower jaw, separating from the first fixed silicone sheet 701 and the first inclined silicone seat 702, causing the U-shaped elastic silicone sheet 703 to deform. Then, the second fixed silicone sheet 704 and the second inclined silicone seat 705 move with the opening of the lower jaw. At this time, the first inclined silicone seat 702 has no support, causing the adjustment slot mechanism 8 to fall, thereby releasing the limit with the adjustment limit mechanism 5.
[0032] As Figures 1-12 shown in the figure, adjustment slot mechanisms 8 are provided at the top of each of the two linkage silicone mechanisms 7. The adjustment slot mechanism 8 includes an installation housing 801 engaged with the top of the linkage silicone mechanism 7. The inner wall of the installation housing 801 is fixedly connected to a slot base 802. A plurality of integral limit protrusions 803 are fixedly connected inside the slot base 802. A strengthening connecting member 804 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the installation housing 801. When closed, the adjustment block 504 is inserted between the plurality of limit protrusions 803 to achieve limit fixation and avoid the retraction of the lower jaw. Two side limit plates 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the lower tooth housing 2.
[0033] As Figures 1-17As shown, both sides of the top of the lower tooth housing 2 are fixedly connected to the front end of the side limit plate 9 with an opening and closing limit mechanism 10, and the opening and closing limit mechanism 10 includes a side fixing seat 1001 fixedly connected to the top of the lower tooth housing 2, and the top of the side fixing seat 1001 is fixedly connected to a triangular guide strip 1002, and the front and rear ends of the side fixing seat 1001 are fixedly connected to a side blocking plate 1003, and one side of the side fixing seat 1001 is provided with two receiving grooves 1004, and the inner walls of the two receiving grooves 1004 are slidably connected with an inclined movable block 1005, and one side of the two inclined movable blocks 1005 and the receiving groove 100 4, two return springs 1006 are installed between the inner walls, and the other sides of the two inclined movable blocks 1005 are fixedly connected with an integrated clamping block 1007. After adjusting the position of the lower jaw, the lower jaw merges to drive the merger of the upper tooth housing 1 and the lower tooth housing 2. At this time, the clamping connecting plate 603 is inserted into the opening and closing limit mechanism 10, and the fixed clamping block 604 squeezes the inclined surface of the upper half of the inclined movable block 1005 to squeeze the inclined surface of the inclined movable block 1005 until the fixed clamping block 604 is reset to the bottom of the inclined movable block 1005, and the inclined movable block 1005 is reset under the action of the return spring 1006, so that The integrated card block 1007 is used to limit the fixed card block 604 to prevent the upper tooth housing 1 and the lower tooth housing 2 from opening, thereby preventing the user from opening the mouth when sleeping. At the same time, the limiting effect between the adjustment card block 504 and the adjustment card slot mechanism 8 is also ensured. At the same time, when opening, the lower jaw is extended forward, so that the overall opening and closing limiting mechanism 10 moves forward relative to the sliding adjustment mechanism 6, thereby driving the two inclined movable blocks 1005 to move forward, so that the two stationary fixed card blocks 604 are separated from the corresponding integrated card blocks 1007. At this time, the lower jaw can be opened, and the inclined movable block 1005 is away from One side of the reset spring 1006 is a triangular double-bevel structure, the inclined movable block 1005 and the integrated clamping block 1007 are an integrated structure, and the integrated clamping block 1007 is an inverted trapezoidal structure, which ensures that when the fixed clamping block 604 descends, the inclined movable block 1005 is compressed by the triangular upper slope and then the engagement is completed. After the overall inclined movable block 1005 moves forward, the fixed clamping block 604 can be separated from the integrated clamping block 1007 structure and rise along the lower slope of the inclined movable block 1005. At the same time, the integrated clamping block 1007 with the inverted trapezoidal structure can provide guidance for the rise of the inclined movable block 1005.
[0034] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows. When in use, the overall anti-snoring device is cleaned, and then the mandible is moved forward. The overall device is clamped in the oral cavity, and the upper and lower rows of teeth are clamped inside the corresponding silicone dental tray body 302. At this time, the upper dental shell 1 and the lower dental shell 2 are in a closed state, and at this time, the adjustment block 504 is clamped in the groove formed by the plurality of limit bumps 803, thereby realizing the fixation of the overall adjustment slot mechanism 8 and the linkage silicone mechanism 7 to the upper dental shell 1, and further realizing the limit fixation between the upper dental shell 1 and the lower dental shell 2, avoiding the retraction of the mandible. At the same time, the clamping connection plate 603 is inside the opening and closing limit mechanism 10, and the two fixed blocks 604 are at the bottom of the corresponding inclined surface movable block 1005, and the clamping of the fixed block 604 is completed through the corresponding integral block 1007, so that the overall sliding adjustment mechanism 6 and the opening and closing limit mechanism 10 realize the vertical limit, thereby avoiding the upper dental shell 1 and the lower dental shell 2 from separating up and down; When it is felt that the mandible extends too far and causes discomfort, at this time, the mandible is extended forward a small distance. At this time, the mandible will drive the lower dental shell 2 to extend forward through the lower teeth. At the same time, the lower dental shell 2 drives the second fixed silicone sheet 704 and the second inclined surface silicone seat 705 fixed thereto to move forward, and the U-shaped elastic silicone sheet 703 deforms. Due to the clamping and fixation between the adjustment block 504 and the adjustment slot mechanism 8, at this time, the first fixed silicone sheet 701, the first inclined surface silicone seat 702 and the overall sliding adjustment mechanism 6 remain stationary. At the same time, due to the forward extension of the lower dental shell 2, the overall opening and closing limit mechanism 10 moves forward, thereby driving the two inclined surface movable blocks 1005 to move forward, so that the two stationary fixed blocks 604 are disengaged from the restriction of the corresponding integral block 1007. At this time, the mandible can be opened, and the fixed block 604 will rise along the inclined surface of the moved inclined surface movable block 1005 until it is withdrawn from the opening and closing limit mechanism 10. At this time, the upper dental shell 1 and the lower dental shell 2 are separated. At the same time, the first inclined surface silicone seat 702 will also drop due to the loss of support, thereby driving the adjustment slot mechanism 8 to release the limit with the adjustment block 504. At this time, under the elastic reset of the deformed U-shaped elastic silicone sheet 703, with the movement of the lower dental shell 2, the second fixed silicone sheet 704 and the second inclined surface silicone seat 705, the first fixed silicone sheet 701 and the first inclined surface silicone seat 702 will be driven by the U-shaped elastic silicone sheet 703 to slide on the adjustment limit mechanism 5 through the sliding adjustment mechanism 6. During the process of adjusting the mandible, the sliding adjustment mechanism 6, the linkage silicone mechanism 7, the adjustment slot mechanism 8, the opening and closing limit mechanism 10 and the lower dental shell 2 move simultaneously, and there is a relative displacement compared with the upper dental shell 1 and the adjustment limit mechanism 5; At this time, the user adjusts the mandible to a proper position and then closes the mandible. First, the whole of the second fixed silica gel sheet 704 and the second inclined silica gel seat 705 are mutually attached to the whole of the first fixed silica gel sheet 701 and the first inclined silica gel seat 702. Then, it drives the adjusting groove mechanism 8 to move to the bottom of the adjusting block 504, and realizes clamping through the adjusting block 504 between a plurality of limiting protrusions 803, so as to avoid mandibular retrusion. At the same time, due to the combination of the upper tooth housing 1 and the lower tooth housing 2, the clamping connection plate 603 is inserted into the opening and closing limiting mechanism 10. The fixed block 604 squeezes the inclined surface of the upper half of the inclined surface movable block 1005 until the fixed block 604 is reset to the bottom of the inclined surface movable block 1005. Under the action of the reset spring 1006, the inclined surface movable block 1005 is reset, and then the integral block 1007 limits the fixed block 604 to prevent the upper tooth housing 1 and the lower tooth housing 2 from opening, thus avoiding the situation of the mouth opening when the user is sleeping, and at the same time ensuring the limiting effect between the adjusting block 504 and the adjusting groove mechanism 8.
[0035] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
