Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oral cavity, in particular to an improved mouth breathing corrector. Background Art

[0002] Most children who breathe through their mouths have allergic rhinitis, abnormal nasopharyngeal structure, enlarged tonsils and adenoids, or upper respiratory tract infection. Some have normal nasal passages but habitually breathe through their mouths. Children have poor nasal ventilation, so they breathe through their mouths. Open-mouth breathing destroys the normal balance of air pressure in the oral and nasal cavities and affects the normal development of the oral and nasal cavities. Long-term open-mouth breathing can easily lead to protruding upper front teeth, narrow face, open lips and exposed teeth, narrow upper dental arch, high arched palate, and retracted chin (bird beak deformity).

[0003] Traditional vestibular shield appliance: When the vestibular shield is worn in the oral vestibule, the connection between the oral cavity and the outside of the mouth is cut off, and the airflow cannot enter the mouth through the oral vestibule. Therefore, the patient is forced to breathe through the nasal cavity. At the same time, the force of the lip muscle contraction is transmitted to the maxillary incisor through the vestibular shield, which can move the incisor to the lingual side and correct its protrusion. Therefore, during the wearing of the vestibular shield, the patient must be advised to consciously close the lips to contract the lip muscles and increase the tension.

[0004] Vestibular shield appliances have the following disadvantages:

[0005] 1. Most mouth-breathing patients have mandibular retrusion, and traditional vestibular shields are not effective in correcting mandibular retrusion.

[0006] 2. Use this appliance to correct other bad oral habits, such as biting the lower lip. Because the appliance is held in the mouth and has no certain retention force, the child will lift the appliance up and bite the lower lip further, which is counterproductive.

[0007] 3. The force of the lip muscle contraction of the traditional orthodontic appliance is transmitted to the maxillary incisor through the vestibular shield, which can move the incisor toward the lingual side and correct its protrusion. If the child does not wear it for enough time and the treatment cycle is long, the effect is not obvious.

[0008] In summary, the utility model designs an improved mouth breathing corrector. Summary of the invention

[0009] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model aims to provide an improved mouth breathing corrector with reasonable structural design, convenient and reliable use, the function of guiding the mandible, effectively correcting bad habits such as biting the lower lip, retracting the front teeth, and improving the therapeutic effect.

[0010] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model is realized through the following technical scheme: an improved mouth breathing corrector, including a main body, an extraoral arch tube, an extraoral bow, a high-position head cap and a tongue support, a tongue support is provided at the inner mandibular protrusion position of the main body, an extraoral arch tube is provided at the upper jaw position on the surface of the main body, an extraoral bow is plugged into the extraoral arch tube, and the high-position head cap is connected to the outer end hook of the extraoral bow through traction.

[0011] Preferably, the high-position head cap is provided with an adjustment buckle so as to be suitable for children with different head circumference sizes.

[0012] Preferably, the tongue support is used for engaging the mandibular teeth.

[0013] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. Increase the mandibular guiding function of the traditional orthodontic appliance;

[0015] 2. When correcting bad habits such as biting the lower lip, increase the retention force so that the appliance cannot be lifted freely;

[0016] 3. Add an extraoral arch tube in the premolar area and cooperate with a high-position head cap. This not only has the functional correction force of the muscles, but also the mechanical force outside the mouth to further retract the front teeth and improve the therapeutic effect.

[0024] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-6 The present specific implementation adopts the following technical scheme: an improved mouth breathing corrector, comprising a main body 1, an extraoral arch tube 2, an extraoral bow 3, a high-position head cap 4 and a tongue support 5. A tongue support 5 is provided at the inner mandibular protrusion position of the main body 1, an extraoral arch tube 2 is provided at the upper jaw 45° position on the surface of the main body 1, the extraoral bow 3 is plugged onto the extraoral arch tube 2, and the high-position head cap 4 is connected to the outer end hook of the extraoral bow 3 through traction.

[0026] It is worth noting that the high-position head cap 4 is provided with an adjustment buckle, so that it can be suitable for children with different head circumference sizes.

[0027] In addition, the tongue support 5 is used for engaging the mandibular teeth to prevent the chin from shifting, and can be made at the position where the chin is protruded to achieve mandibular protrusion.

[0028] The improved appliance of this specific embodiment is based on the original appliance, and the tongue support of the mandible is added, and it is made in the mandibular protrusion position. In this way, the improved appliance has an additional mandibular leading function, and the mandibular position is relatively fixed, and the child will not move the appliance position at will. In addition, an extraoral arch tube can be added at a position of 45° on the surface of the body (vestibular shield) to apply extraoral force, so that the effect of the appliance in retracting the front teeth and rotating the mandible counterclockwise is more obvious.

[0029] The above shows and describes the basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected. The scope of protection claimed by the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
