DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The technical solution in this embodiment will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some of the embodiments, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this solution, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the protection scope of this solution.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment designs a braces type anti-snoring device, including an upper brace 3, a lower brace 1, a brace mounting seat 2 and other components.

[0032] The upper braces 3 and the lower braces 1 are both fixedly arranged on the braces mounting seat 2; the upper braces 3 and / or the lower braces 1 can be fixedly connected to the braces mounting seat 2; the upper braces 3 and / or the lower braces 1 can also be detachably connected to the braces mounting seat 2 by means of a snap connection, a screw connection or a snap connection, so as to facilitate the mutual disassembly and replacement of the three, so as to better match the tooth shapes of different people and improve versatility and popularity.

[0033] The upper surface of the upper brace 3 is provided with an upper tooth groove 32, and the upper tooth groove 32 is used to fit the teeth of the upper jaw; when the upper brace 3 is installed on the teeth of the upper jaw, the position of the brace type anti-snoring device can be fixed, thereby providing conditions for the brace type anti-snoring device to support the lower jaw. The height of the front side of the upper brace 3 can be 13.415mm±2mm, and the height of the upper brace 3 decreases from front to back.

[0034] A lower tooth socket 12 is provided on the lower surface of the lower brace 1, and the lower tooth socket 12 is used for engaging the teeth on the lower jaw. When the teeth of the lower jaw are bitten onto the lower brace 1, the lower brace 1 can support the lower jaw, thereby limiting the relative front and rear positions of the lower jaw and the upper jaw, restricting the lower jaw from moving backward, and preventing the lower jaw from moving backward in a lying state, causing the relaxed tongue and other muscle tissues to block the trachea.

[0035] When the upper and lower braces 3 and 1 are connected to the braces mounting seat 2 by means of a snap connection: one or more upper protruding snaps 31 are provided on the lower surface of the upper braces 3, and the braces mounting seat 2 is provided with a first snap connection hole 23 corresponding to the upper protruding snaps 31. One or more lower protruding snaps 11 are provided on the upper surface of the lower braces 1, and the braces mounting seat 2 is also provided with a second snap connection hole corresponding to the lower protruding snaps 11.

[0036] As another implementation of the above scheme: the first clamping hole 23 and the second clamping hole both have a plurality of clamping positions arranged in a straight line, and the front-to-back position of the upper brace 3 changes when the upper protruding buckle 31 is connected to different clamping positions of the first clamping hole 23, and the front-to-back position of the lower brace 1 changes when the lower protruding buckle 11 is connected to different clamping positions of the second clamping hole. The upper protruding buckle 31 and the lower protruding buckle 11 are both matched with the shape of the corresponding clamping position. When the upper protruding buckle 31 is a quadrangular prism, the shape of the clamping position is also a quadrangular prism hole; the first clamping hole 23 and the second clamping hole can be a long strip hole structure formed by the intersection of multiple quadrangular prism holes. The arrangement direction of the clamping positions is the front-to-back direction, specifically: the length direction of the first clamping hole 23 is the same as the front-to-back direction of the upper brace 3, and the length direction of the second clamping hole is the same as the front-to-back direction of the lower brace 1.

[0037] The lower protruding buckle 11 and the upper protruding buckle 31 can both adopt a double prism structure, and the double prism structure is a structure formed by the intersection of two quadrangular prisms, see Figure 3 .

[0038] The dental brace mounting seat 2 may adopt a flat block-shaped structure, and the upper dental brace 3 and the lower dental brace 1 are fixed to the upper surface and the lower surface of the dental brace mounting seat 2 respectively; or the dental brace mounting seat 2 may also include an upper connecting portion 21, a U-shaped connecting portion 22 and a lower connecting portion 24, such as Figure 2As shown; the upper connecting portion 21 is arranged above the lower connecting portion 24, and the two ends of the U-shaped connecting portion 22 are respectively connected to the upper connecting portion 21 and the lower connecting portion 24. The upper connecting portion 21 and the lower connecting portion 24 are both U-shaped, and the two ends of the upper connecting portion 21 are correspondingly connected to the two ends of the lower connecting portion 24 through the respective U-shaped connecting portions 22.

[0039] The upper connecting part 21 and the lower connecting part 24 are flat block structures. When the upper braces 3 and the lower braces 1 are connected to the braces mounting seat 2, the lower surface of the upper braces 3 fits with the upper connecting part 21, and the upper surface of the lower braces 1 fits with the lower connecting part 24.

[0040] The upper braces 3 and the lower braces 1 can be made of TPE silicone material with a hardness of 60HB; the braces mounting bases 2 can also be made of TPE silicone material with a hardness of 90HB.

[0041] The above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clarifying the description, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods; it is not necessary and impossible to list all implementation methods exhaustively. However, obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the present technology.
