Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a detachable oral vestibule shield. Background Art

[0002] The vestibular shield is an orthodontic appliance that is mainly used to correct mouth breathing, finger sucking, lip biting and tongue sticking out, etc. It prevents people with the habit of lip biting from placing their lower lip on the lingual side of their upper incisors, prevents people with the habit of finger sucking from putting their fingers in their mouths, and helps mouth breathing patients get used to breathing with their mouths closed.

[0003] However, the existing vestibular shields are often used for patients with maxillary protrusion in clinical practice. Most of the patients have poor compliance and wear the shields for a short time, which prolongs the treatment time. In order to inhibit the retraction of the patient's front teeth, the vestibular shield is often placed loosely in the mouth, which makes it easy for the vestibular shield to shift, and the excessive width greatly reduces the comfort of the patient. In addition, the mouth-breathing patch worn at night is easily torn by the patient's lower lip in the sleep state, which is not conducive to improving the current situation of mouth breathing.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new type of oral vestibular shield, which not only needs to improve the stability of the vestibular shield when worn, but also needs to be worn at night and improve the mouth breathing situation at night. Utility Model Content
