[0002] A short tongue tie is a congenital developmental abnormality that may limit the movement of the tongue and affect normal swallowing, pronunciation and other functions, so surgery is required for correction. Tongue tie repair surgery can be performed in a dental clinic and recovery is relatively fast after surgery. During the tongue tie repair surgery, the mouth needs to be kept open. Facial muscles tend to become sore and weak if kept open for a long time, which makes it difficult for patients to cooperate. Especially young children need to use auxiliary tools to keep their mouths open for a long time. However, the surfaces of current surgical auxiliary instruments are all smooth and cannot stay stably in the mouth, and the tongue cannot be kept in the upturned state. Utility Model Content

[0022] The utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the preferred embodiment of the tongue stopper and opener for tongue tie correction of the utility model comprises a posterior teeth support 1, a tongue stopper 2, an upper front teeth support 3 and a handle 4. The posterior teeth support 1 is two, and the two posterior teeth support 1 is connected to the upper front teeth support 3 at the same time, and the upper front teeth support 3 is used to support the upper front teeth; the upper teeth and lower teeth in the posterior teeth area are engaged with the top and bottom surfaces of the posterior teeth support 1 to support the teeth in the posterior teeth area. The tongue stopper 2 is connected to the posterior teeth support 1 and the upper front teeth support 3. Of course, in other embodiments, it can also be connected only to the upper front teeth support 3 or only to the posterior teeth support 1; the tongue stopper 2 is used to block and protect the tongue, so that the tongue is kept in an upward and backward flipped state to expose the tongue frenulum. The tongue stopper 2 is provided with a surgical channel 21 for facilitating surgery, so that surgical instruments can pass through the surgical channel 21 to correct the tongue tie and complete the surgery; when viewed from above, the surgical channel 21 is in an inverted V shape, so that the tongue tie is exposed while reducing the exposure of other parts of the tongue to protect the tongue; the lower edge of the tongue stopper 2 of the surgical channel 21 is connected, which can increase the space of the surgical channel 21 and facilitate the operation of surgical instruments. The handle 4 is connected to the upper front teeth support 3, and the handle 4 is used to facilitate the removal of the entire tongue stopper surgical channel 21; the angle between the handle 4 and the upper front teeth support 3 is 135°, which can facilitate the removal of the handle 4 when biting. The contours of the posterior teeth support 1, the tongue stopper 2, the upper front teeth support 3 and the handle 4 are all arc-shaped, ensuring that the posterior teeth support 1, the tongue stopper 2, the upper front teeth support 3 and the handle 4 will not damage the oral cavity, thereby protecting the oral cavity. The tongue stopper 2, the upper front teeth support 3 and the handle 4 are integrally formed, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing and reduces assembly steps, such as integrally formed by 3D printing, or mold casting, etc. The posterior teeth support 1 is made of silicone, the tongue stopper 2 is made of silicone, and the upper front teeth support 3 is made of silicone, which is convenient for high-temperature disinfection and repeated use. It should be known that the hardness of the posterior teeth support 1, the tongue stopper 2 and the upper front teeth support 3 made of silicone can support the bite force of the oral cavity and will not deform; in other embodiments, the posterior teeth support 1, the tongue stopper 2 and the upper front teeth support 3 are all provided with a silicone protective layer, and the silicone protective layer is bonded to the posterior teeth support 1, the tongue stopper 2 and the upper front teeth support 3 by a high-temperature resistant adhesive. The posterior teeth support 1 supports the posterior teeth area, and the upper front teeth support 3 supports the upper front teeth, which can make the entire oral cavity unable to close, and can allow young children to open their mouths for a long time, which is convenient for tongue tie correction.

[0024] The top surface of the support body is provided with an upper alveolar groove 11 for positioning the upper teeth, and the upper teeth of the posterior teeth area are engaged in the upper alveolar groove 11. The bottom surface of the support body is provided with a lower alveolar groove 12 for positioning the lower teeth, which can effectively prevent the upper and lower teeth from sliding in the oral cavity on the corresponding top and bottom surfaces, and can stably support the upper and lower teeth; the posterior teeth support body 1 is provided with anti-slip teeth 13 at the bottom of the upper alveolar groove 11 and the lower alveolar groove 12 to prevent the upper and lower teeth of the posterior teeth area from sliding in the upper alveolar groove 11 and the lower pressure groove, so that the occlusion is stable. The top surface of the posterior teeth support body 1 is an inclined surface, so that all the upper and lower teeth of the posterior teeth area can maintain a natural open state after the oral cavity is opened, so that all the upper and lower teeth can bite into the posterior teeth support body 1.

[0025] The inner wall of the tongue stopper 2 is parabolic, which is convenient for the tongue to adapt to the shape of the tongue after the tongue is turned back, so that the tongue can be kept relatively comfortable and the frenulum can be well exposed to the outside, which is convenient for surgery. The tongue stopper 2 is provided with a plurality of holes 22 for observing and sucking away saliva and blood.

[0026] When in use, the entire mouth opener is placed in the oral cavity, the upper teeth and lower teeth of the posterior teeth area bite into the upper alveolar 11 and lower alveolar 12 of the posterior teeth support body 1, and the upper teeth of the anterior teeth area bite into the upper anterior teeth support body 3. At the same time, the tongue is rolled up and then relaxed and naturally placed on the tongue block, and then the operation can be started. The surgical instrument passes through the surgical channel 21 on the tongue block body 2 to perform the tongue tie operation. During the operation, the tongue tie can be observed through the hole 22, and saliva and blood can also be sucked away. The posterior teeth support body 1 and the upper anterior teeth support body 3 can ensure that the oral cavity is always in an open state, ensuring that the tongue frenulum repair operation is carried out smoothly.

[0027] The above are only implementation methods of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structure made using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, directly or indirectly used in other related technical fields, are also within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
