Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical equipment, in particular to an oral appliance. Background Art

[0002] A brace is a device used to treat malocclusion, also known as an orthodontic appliance. The brace consists of two braces, the upper and lower braces, which can generate force, or through the functional force of the masticatory muscles and perioral muscles, change the deformed frontal bone, misaligned teeth and periodontal supporting tissues, so as to facilitate the normal growth and development of the maxillofacial region.

[0003] For example, a Chinese utility model patent (CN219461453U) discloses an oral appliance, which states: "An inner mandibular correction block is provided on the inner side of the mandibular outer correction block, an outer mandibular correction block is provided above the outer mandibular correction block, an inner mandibular correction block is provided on the inner side of the outer mandibular correction block, a mandibular connecting block is fixedly connected between the outer mandibular correction block and the inner mandibular correction block, and an upper mandibular connecting block is fixedly connected between the outer mandibular correction block and the inner mandibular correction block", and proposes: "During rest at night, the patient will involuntarily open his mouth to breathe through his mouth due to the deformity of the teeth and jaw, If the patient breathes with the mouth open for a long time, the tooth-jaw relationship will continue to change, the upper jaw will remain in a high position, causing the upper jaw to protrude, and the teeth will continue to be deformed. This will not only affect the correction effect, but also enter a vicious cycle of continuous deformity of the lower jaw due to mouth breathing, and continued deformity of the lower jaw leading to continued mouth breathing. In addition, since the air does not pass through the nose, the nose's filtering and warming of the air will be affected. Some children always have pharyngitis, sore throat, or repeated respiratory tract infections. Therefore, when performing oral correction on patients, forcing patients to close their mouths and breathe through their noses is also the key to treatment.

[0004] Based on the above, it can be seen that the following technical problems exist in the prior art: patients cannot breathe through their mouths voluntarily due to jaw deformity when resting at night.

[0041] The inner sides of the first and second braces are fixedly connected with a gap block 17, so when the first and second braces 1 are prefabricated, the gap block 17 can be prefabricated according to the size and position of the missing teeth of the patient with premature loss of deciduous teeth to prevent the tooth gap from narrowing;

[0042] The use process of the oral appliance provided by the utility model is as follows: when the patient needs to rest and close his mouth, the four anti-wear sleeves 13 are slidably connected to the four sliding rails 18 respectively. Because the anti-wear sleeve 13 is skin-friendly, the anti-wear sleeve 13 can reduce the friction between the braces 1 and the braces 2 and the inside of the oral cavity and the foreign body sensation in the oral cavity. Then the braces 1 and the braces 2 are respectively installed on the upper and lower jaws of the patient. Then the connecting column 9 is pulled out from the inner side of the merging groove 27, and then the end of the connecting column 9 away from the merging groove 27 is slid into the inner side of the merging groove 16. Due to the elastic effect of the spring 10, the part of the connecting column 9 pulled out can be reset to make the closing block One 4 is connected with the closing block two 5 so that the braces one 1 and the braces two 2 are closed, and the connecting hook 13 is clamped to the outside of the fixing block 11. Since the two ends of the connecting hook 13 are in the shape of hooks, when the two ends of 13 hook the outsides of the two fixing blocks 11, because the fixing ball 12 fits with the connecting hook 13, the squeezing of the connecting hook 13 by the fixing ball 12 can further stabilize the closed state of the patient's mouth, fit the anti-wear sleeve two 14 with the closing block one 4 and the closing block two 5, and then press to make the wrapping groove one 15 fit with the connecting hook 13, and the wrapping groove two 16 fit with the connecting column 9. Since the anti-wear sleeve two 14 is made of flexible material, it is more comfortable to wear.
