AI Technical Summary
When the body is relaxed, the tongue may involuntarily retract and obstruct the airway, leading to breathing difficulties.
A tongue stabilizer was designed that uses the teeth and tongue support structure to fix the tongue and maintain oral ventilation. The tongue position is stabilized and prevented from retracting by components such as the occlusal outer wall, air inlet and outlet support, lower jaw fixator, and tongue tip support.
It effectively prevents the tongue from retracting, keeps the oral airway clear, and avoids breathing difficulties.

[0015] Figure 12 : Tongue fixing device in the oral cavity. Detailed display of the relationship between teeth and tongue fixing device when the tongue fixing device enters the oral cavity, and the opening and closing status of the oral cavity.
[0016] Figure 13 : Tongue fixing device in the oral cavity. Detailed display of the position of the tongue and teeth of the tongue fixing device when the tongue fixing device enters the oral cavity, and the working principle.
[0017] Tongue fixing device main body appearance image reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , specific schematic as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 . The overall working principle is as follows Figure 4 , Figure 5 ,、 Figure 6 , Figure 7 ,、 Figure 9, through 01, 02 and 06 support the teeth, maintain the overall ventilation of the oral cavity, initially let the mouth and teeth can not completely closed, keep the air smooth. The upper and lower teeth bite 06, stabilize the structure of 06 and 08, and force 08 to move downward, 08 fixes the overall panel of 07, so that 07 stabilizes the tongue. 01, 02, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08 are made of soft medical body material, soft in texture, with certain stretchability and stability. Figure 8 It is an air inlet and outlet support for the tongue fixing device, supporting 01 made of soft medical glue material, and the material is medical hard plastic, keeping the air inlet and outlet smooth. Figure 10 , Figure 11 It is a tongue tip support, the protruding point is supported at the position of the lower teeth, forming an inclined plane, allowing the tongue tip to rest on the inclined plane, lifting the tongue tip, cooperating with 07, and fixing the tongue in the oral cavity. As Figure 12 , Figure 13 It is a schematic diagram of the tongue fixing device in the oral cavity, through the interval between the upper and lower teeth, fixing the position of the tongue, keeping the oral cavity normal, preventing the tongue root from being easily produced when the human body relaxes, and the unconscious retraction of the tongue leading to poor breathing.
