Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oral orthodontics, in particular to an oral occlusion trainer. Background Art

[0002] Deep bite is usually caused by abnormal jaw development, which may lead to changes in the morphology of the mandible, resulting in a significant height difference between the upper and lower rows. It may also lead to excessive length of the mandibular limbs or retracted chin, temporomandibular joint disorder, difficulty in opening the mouth, protrusion of the upper teeth and jaw dysplasia caused by weak tension of the masseter muscles and ligaments, and other deep bite symptoms.

[0003] The existing methods for correcting deep overbite patients usually involve wearing braces or performing corrective surgery on the mandible, and monitoring of bite force is essential. Since deep overbite patients have a wide age span and different dental arch shapes, the bite force monitoring in clinical practice is mostly simple mechanical bite trainers, which make the force surfaces of teeth with different tooth shapes uneven, making it difficult to apply to deep overbite patients of all ages. In addition, the bite force range is single and the monitoring strength is insufficient, making effective bite training impossible. Moreover, children under the age of 12 often have fallen deciduous teeth and incomplete permanent teeth, and have not yet met the orthodontic correction guidelines.

[0004] Therefore, it is crucial to improve oral occlusal trainers to adapt to patients of multiple age groups. Summary of the invention

[0030] In the following embodiments, unless otherwise specified, functional components or structures are conventional components or conventional structures used in the art to achieve corresponding functions.

[0031] Embodiment 1:

[0032] Combination Figure 1-2The present embodiment provides an oral occlusion trainer, comprising a first connecting handle 1 and a second connecting handle 2 hinged at one end, a dental tray 3 respectively arranged at the other end of the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2, a resistance connecting part arranged at the hinged end of the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2 and used to adjust the occlusal force range of the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2, and a display part 7 arranged on the first connecting handle 1 or the second connecting handle 2, wherein the resistance connecting part comprises a rotating shaft 4 passing through and connecting the hinged ends of the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2, a resistance spring 5 sleeved on the rotating shaft 4 and elastically supported between the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2, and a knob 6 screwed on the rotating shaft 4 and located on the outside of the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, a first connecting handle 1 and a second connecting handle 2 are hinged at one end to form a certain angle, and the dental trays 3 on the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2 are used to support and match the upper and lower teeth respectively, so as to form a stable mechanical triangle structure, and improve the oral muscles through the opening and closing training of the upper and lower teeth. The angle between the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2 is changed by the knob 6, and the pressure of the resistance spring between the two is adjusted, so that the bite difficulty of different force ranges can be designed to achieve effective training intensity at different stages.

[0034] In order to enable more effective mouth opening training and maximize the training of the muscles in various parts of the oral cavity, in this embodiment, the dental tray 3 connected to the first connecting handle 1 is a crescent-shaped one that matches the upper 3-3 dentition position, and the dental tray 3 connected to the second connecting handle 2 is a crescent-shaped one that matches the lower 3-3 dentition position. If it is a full-mouth training, the temporomandibular joint cannot be opened to the maximum extent. And the dental tray 3 is selected from a dental tray 3 with a total width of 35-40mm, a groove depth of 0.5-0.7mm, and a groove width of 3.0-3.5mm, or a dental tray 3 with a total width of 20-25mm, a groove depth of 0.5-0.7mm, and a groove width of 2.0-2.5mm, so as to adapt to the upper and lower 3-3 dentition positions of deep overbite patients of different age groups. The dental tray 3 is also detachably connected to the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2. A connecting rod 9 is provided at the end of the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2, and a socket 10 matching it is provided on the dental tray 3. The plug-in structure facilitates the removal and installation of different-sized dental trays 3, and also facilitates the cleaning of the removed dental trays 3. Exemplarily, the dental tray 3 is a hard silicone dental tray, which supports the teeth without causing damage such as squeezing the teeth. The first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2 are respectively the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2 of PP and TPE, which combine the elasticity of TPE and the rigidity of PP, have good flexibility and impact resistance, and are chemically resistant and environmentally friendly.

[0035] The inner side of the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2 is provided with a first sensor which is connected to the display unit 7 for communication and used to monitor the distance between the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2. The first sensor is a displacement sensor. The distance between specific positions of the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2 (for example, the middle section of the connecting part) is sensed by the displacement sensor to determine the effective number of bites. For example, when the distance between the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2 is monitored to be less than 1 cm, it is an effective bite, which is recorded by the display unit 7. The resistance spring 5 is provided with a second sensor which is connected to the display unit 7 for communication and used to monitor the pressure of the resistance spring 5. The second sensor is a pressure sensor. The pressure sensed by the pressure sensor is recorded by the display unit 7. The display unit 7 includes a human-machine interface. The display unit 7 displays the feedback results on the human-machine interface according to the feedback signals of the first sensor and the second sensor, that is, the number of bites and the bite force range are displayed on the human-machine interface.

[0036] The hinged ends of the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2 are also provided with a hand grip 8 for easy picking up, and the hand grip 8 is also provided with a hanging hole for hanging, so that it is easy to carry around.

[0037] The method for using the oral occlusion trainer provided in this embodiment 1 is as follows:

[0038] Press the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2 to put them into the oral cavity in a closed state. The upper 3-3 teeth and the lower 3-3 teeth correspond to the dental trays 3 on the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2, respectively. Relax the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2. The movement of the upper and lower teeth will cause the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2 to deform with the required force. At this time, the movement of the teeth will drive the upper and lower jaw muscles to move. At this time, the upper and lower jaw muscles slowly exert force. When the teeth are loosened, the muscles slowly relax, so that the muscle tissue is exercised at multiple frequencies. By rotating the knob 6 toward the inside of the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2 respectively to reduce the angle between the brackets of the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2, the resistance spring 5 is squeezed to increase the resistance between the first connecting handle 1 and the second connecting handle 2, so that the bite force range can be adjusted. And through the communication connection between the display unit 7 and the first sensor and the second sensor, the number of bites and the bite force range are displayed on the human-machine interface.
