Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tongue lifters, in particular to a tongue lifter. Background Technique

[0002] A tongue lifter is a medical device used to improve oral and maxillofacial related problems. It mainly lifts the tongue body through a specific design to achieve the purpose of treating or improving certain symptoms. Oral bad habits are one of the common causes of oral deformities in children. For example, long-term habits such as sucking fingers, bad tongue habits, lip biting, mouth breathing, bad cheek habits, and unilateral chewing habits can cause the tongue to be in a low position. And long-term low tongue position will change the force balance in the oral cavity and lead to the occurrence of low teeth under the influence of factors such as swallowing habits. Therefore, in most cases, a tongue lifting trainer is used to correct the low tongue position after it is found.

[0003] When most of the existing tongue lifting trainers are used, they are inserted into the oral cavity, and the tongue lifting trainer is held by hand to repeatedly perform tongue lifting training to gradually improve the phenomenon of low tongue position. Using such a tongue lifting trainer for tongue lifting training in a short time can be accepted by children, but long training time leading to fatigue will cause children to have a rejection reaction, thus affecting the progress of tongue lifting training.

[0004] Therefore, a tongue lifter is proposed. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a tongue lifter to solve the problem that when most of the existing tongue lifting trainers are used, they are inserted into the oral cavity, and the tongue lifting trainer is held by hand to repeatedly perform tongue lifting training to gradually improve the phenomenon of low tongue position. Using such a tongue lifting trainer for tongue lifting training in a short time can be accepted by children, but long training time leading to fatigue will cause children to have a rejection reaction, thus affecting the progress of tongue lifting training as mentioned in the above background technique.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: a tongue lifter, including a resin base, a wing plate is fixedly connected to the resin base, a fixing component for facilitating the taking and wearing of the tongue lifter in the oral cavity is arranged on the resin base, the fixing component includes a bending rod arranged on the resin base, an arrow clip is arranged at one end of the bending rod, and an elastic member is arranged between the arrow clip and the bending rod.

[0013] Advantages of the present utility model:

[0014] By providing a wing plate in a convex shape, the present utility model can well lift the tongue and improve the low position of the teeth. And by providing a fixing component, after the resin base is placed in the oral cavity, pulling the arrow clip drives the connecting rod to move, the connecting rod pulls the tension spring to elongate to generate a force to pull the arrow clip, so that the lower molars between the arrow clip and the side fitting surface are subjected to the pressure from the arrow clip, and then the resin base is limited and fixed on the lower molars, making the tongue lifter not easy to shift. The taking and wearing of the whole tongue lifter is simple and fast. At the same time, the whole tongue lifter can be directly worn in the oral cavity for a long time without the need to use ordinary tongue lifting tools for repeated training, so it is easier for children to accept. And the setting of the hollow opening can save consumables without affecting the supporting effect. Description of the Drawings

[0023] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, a specific embodiment of the present utility model provides a tongue lifter, which includes a resin base 1. A wing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the resin base 1. A fixing component for facilitating the taking and wearing of the tongue lifter in the oral cavity is provided on the resin base 1. By providing the fixing component, it is convenient to place the tongue lifter in the oral cavity for limit fixation, so that the whole tongue lifter is not easy to shift, and thus the tongue can be lifted by placing it in the oral cavity for a long time to improve the low position of the teeth, and at the same time it is also convenient to take it off. The fixing component includes a bent rod 3 provided on the resin base 1. An arrow clip 4 is provided at one end of the bent rod 3. An elastic member is provided between the arrow clip 4 and the bent rod 3.

[0024] As Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, specifically, an arc groove 5 is formed in the resin base 1, an arc rod 6 is fixedly connected in the arc groove 5, and the arc rod 6 is adapted to the arc groove 5. The bending rod 3 is fixedly connected to the arc rod 6. A notch groove 7 is formed in the resin base 1, and the bending rod 3 is fitted to the notch groove 7. A front fitting surface 12 adapted to the front teeth is formed on the resin base 1, and side fitting surfaces 13 adapted to the lower molars are formed on both sides of the resin base 1. When the entire tongue lifter needs to be placed in the oral cavity to lift the tongue, the resin base 1 is placed in the oral cavity so that the front fitting surface 12 on the resin base 1 fits against the inner side of the front teeth, and the side fitting surfaces 13 on both sides fit against the inner side of the lower molars, so that the resin base 1 is placed in the oral cavity in the correct position. Subsequently, the bending rod 3 is fitted into the gap between the lower molars, and then the resin base 1 is further limited and fixed through the connected arc rod 6.

[0025] As Figures 1 to 4 shown in the figure, specifically, an inner circular groove 8 is formed in the bending rod 3, and the elastic member is located in the inner circular groove 8. The elastic member includes a tension spring 9 and a connecting rod 10. The tension spring 9 is fixedly installed in the inner circular groove 8, and the connecting rod 10 is fixedly connected between the tension spring 9 and the arrow-shaped clamp 4. After the resin base 1 is placed in the oral cavity and the bending rod 3 is located in the gap between the lower molars, the arrow-shaped clamp 4 is pulled so that the connecting rod 10 moves in the inner circular groove 8. The movement of the connecting rod 10 causes the tension spring 9 to be stretched and generate a reaction force, pulling the arrow-shaped clamp 4 and making the arrow-shaped clamp 4 located outside the lower molars. The lower molars are located between the arrow-shaped clamp 4 and the side fitting surface 13. At this time, under the reaction force of the tension spring 9, the arrow-shaped clamp 4 is pulled to apply pressure to the lower molars, so that the resin base 1 is fixed in the oral cavity through the fixed cooperation between the arrow-shaped clamp 4 and the lower molars, so that the entire tongue lifter is easy to install and wear in the oral cavity and is not easy to shift. The wing plate 2 is convexly arranged, and a hollow opening 11 is formed in the middle of the wing plate 2. After the installed tongue lifter is under the action of the convex wing plate 2, it can well lift the tongue and improve the low position of the teeth. At the same time, the setting of the hollow opening 11 can save consumables without affecting the supporting effect. When the entire tongue lifter needs to be removed, the arrow-shaped clamp 4 is pulled to make the tension spring 9 stretch, and the arrow-shaped clamp 4 is disengaged from the lower molars and no longer applies pressure to them. Subsequently, the resin base 1 is moved upward so that the lower molars are no longer between the side fitting surface 13 and the arrow-shaped clamp 4. At this time, the arrow-shaped clamp 4 can be loosened and the entire tongue lifter can be removed.
