Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of anti-snoring equipment, in particular to a card slot type anti-snoring device. Background Art

[0002] The soft tissues such as the tongue root sink under gravity, causing the airway to narrow. When the air passes through these narrow places during breathing, it will encounter greater resistance. This resistance will cause the mucous membrane or secretions in the narrow part of the airway to vibrate or rub, resulting in snoring.

[0003] In order to fundamentally solve the problem of snoring, it is necessary to use a snoring stopper to move the lower jaw forward to prevent the tongue root, soft palate, etc. from blocking the airway. The commonly used snoring stopper is a snoring stopper worn on the teeth. In order to make the snoring stopper fit the patient's teeth, the existing snoring stopper needs to first collect the patient's tooth model, and then make a toothbrush that only fits the patient according to the tooth model. Since the shape of people's teeth is different, the snoring stopper used by each patient needs to be customized, which takes a long time and has a high cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a card slot type snoring stopper to solve the above problems, which can relieve snoring and reduce the use cost.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is a slot-type snoring stopper, which includes a bracket, a wearing part is arranged at intervals along the lower dental arch on the upper side of the bracket, a slot matching the mandibular teeth is arranged at the lower end of the wearing part, and at least one wearing part on the lip side is provided with an upper jaw baffle at the upper end, and the maxillary teeth abut against the throat side of the upper jaw baffle, so as to prevent the mandible from moving toward the throat side, thereby alleviating snoring. At the same time, compared with the integral braces, the utility model achieves the purpose of fixing the bracket through multi-point positioning, so that the cost of a single product can be reduced through mass production, thereby reducing the use cost of the wearer.

[0006] Furthermore, the bracket is U-shaped, and such a bracket shape can facilitate the placement of the tongue to improve wearing comfort.

[0007] Furthermore, a tongue support plate is provided at the lower end of the middle part of the bracket, and the tongue support plate is connected to the support arms on both sides of the bracket to improve the structural strength of the bracket and prevent it from being easily deformed; and when the bracket is worn normally, the tip of the tongue is placed at the upper end of the anti-detachment part to avoid the tip of the tongue being inserted between the bracket and the teeth, thereby pushing the bracket off the teeth; at the same time, the tongue is located at the upper end of the tongue support plate, so that the tongue in a natural state will give the bracket a downward force, so that the bracket will not detach from the mandibular teeth.

[0008] Furthermore, a flexible layer is provided on the inner wall of the slot to improve wearing comfort and enable the bracket to adapt to more types of teeth and dental arches.

[0009] Furthermore, a soft rubber layer is provided on the throat side of the maxillary baffle to improve wearing comfort and achieve the effect of adjusting the crossbite distance.

[0010] Beneficial effects of the utility model: Compared with braces that are worn on the mandibular teeth as a whole, the technical solution recorded in this application only has the wearing part stuck on the teeth, so that the bracket is less restricted by the dental arch. When producing the bracket, it is only necessary to design brackets of different sizes to fit the mouths of most people. The wearer only needs to choose a suitable bracket according to the size of his or her own mouth. The cost of a single product can be reduced through mass production, thereby reducing the cost of use for the wearer. After wearing, the maxillary teeth are against the maxillary baffle to prevent the mandible from falling back, thereby preventing the tongue root, soft palate, etc. from blocking the respiratory tract, thereby effectively alleviating snoring.

[0017] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the utility model, the utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory and should not have any limiting effect on the protection scope of the utility model.

[0018] Example 1: Figure 1-5As shown, this embodiment discloses a slot-type snoring stopper, which includes a bracket 1. The bracket 1 can be placed on the lower end of the tongue in a plate shape. The bracket 1 in this embodiment is U-shaped to match the lower dental arch. The bracket 1 is placed between the tongue and the teeth to reduce the foreign body sensation when worn. The bracket 1 is made of hard materials such as plastic and metal that meet hygienic requirements, preferably alloy materials with a certain deformation ability, so that the wearer can fine-tune the shape of the bracket 1 according to their own needs. In order to improve the wearing comfort, a layer of soft glue can be coated on the hard material, and the material of the soft glue can be selected from silicone, latex, etc. A tongue support plate 5 is provided at the lower end of the middle part of the bracket 1.

[0019] The buccal side of the bracket 1 is provided with a wearing portion 2 along the lower dental arch, the lower end of the wearing portion 2 is provided with a slot 3 adapted to the mandibular teeth, and at least one upper end of the wearing portion 2 on the lip side is provided with a maxillary baffle 4.

[0020] Since different people's teeth have different thicknesses and shapes, in order to adapt to these differences and ensure the firmness of the fit between the wearing part 2 and the teeth, a flexible layer is provided on the inner wall of the card slot 3. The flexible layer can be deformed to adapt to different teeth, and the flexible layer can clamp the teeth; a soft rubber layer 6 is provided on the throat side of the maxillary baffle 4; the flexible layer and the soft rubber layer 6 can be made of silicone, latex, etc. that meet hygiene requirements.

[0021] Specific usage method: the wearer selects a bracket 1 that matches his / her oral structure, then puts the cleaned and disinfected bracket 1 into the oral cavity and pushes the bracket 1 toward the throat until all the slots 3 are stuck on the mandibular teeth, and the tip of the tongue is placed on the upper end of the tongue support plate 5. After the bracket 1 is placed, the oral cavity is closed normally. When the oral cavity is closed, the outer side of the maxillary incisors abuts against the throat side of the maxillary baffle 4, thereby preventing the lower jaw from moving toward the throat side, so as to achieve the purpose of relieving snoring.

[0022] This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the utility model. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the utility model. The above is only a preferred implementation method of the utility model. It should be pointed out that due to the limitations of textual expression and the objective existence of infinite specific structures, ordinary technicians in this technical field can make several improvements, modifications or changes without departing from the principles of the utility model, and can also combine the above technical features in an appropriate manner; these improvements, modifications, changes or combinations, or the direct application of the concept and technical solution of the utility model to other occasions without improvement, should be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
