[0026] The present utility model will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present utility model, but do not limit the present utility model in any form. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several changes and improvements can still be made. These all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] The present utility model discloses a tooth orthodontic appliance with a soothing function. By arranging a pacifier on the inner side of the middle part of the tongue guard, a child can suck the pacifier when wearing the tooth orthodontic appliance, improving the comfort of the child wearing it, solving the problem that the child will have a bored psychology when wearing the tooth orthodontic appliance for a long time, and at the same time solving the problem that sucking a traditional pacifier will cause incomplete development of teeth and oral muscles. The child can promote the balance inside and outside the muscles while obtaining soothing, thereby preventing dental malocclusion.

[0028] According to the tooth orthodontic appliance with a soothing function provided by the present utility model, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, it includes an upper occlusion part and a lower occlusion part. An upper lip guard 1 and an upper tongue guard 3 are respectively arranged on the outer side and the inner side of the upper occlusion part, and a lower lip guard 2 and a lower tongue guard are respectively arranged on the outer side and the inner side of the lower occlusion part; a pacifier part 4 is arranged on the inner side of the junction of the upper tongue guard 3 and the lower tongue guard. The upper and lower ends of the pacifier part 4 are respectively used to contact the upper jaw and the tongue top. By arranging the pacifier part 4 on the inner side of the tongue guard, it can play a soothing role when a child wears it. The child can suck the pacifier part 4 by pressing the tongue top and the upper jaw against it to achieve the sucking action;

[0029] Compared with traditional tooth orthodontic appliances, the tooth orthodontic appliance with a soothing function can play a soothing role and reduce the bored psychology of children; although traditional pacifiers can also play a soothing role, since children will habitually bite the root of the pacifier with their teeth, it is easy to cause poor tooth development. And when using a traditional baby bottle pacifier, due to inhaling air, the muscles of the cheek part will deform, resulting in unbalanced oral muscles. However, the present utility model can prevent the problems of unbalanced oral muscles and poor tooth development when a child sucks, promote the balance inside and outside the muscles while obtaining soothing, thereby preventing dental malocclusion.

[0030] In a preferred example, the pacifier part 4 and the upper tongue guard 3 are integrally formed. The pacifier part 4 includes a silicone pacifier. Medical-grade silicone is selected as the material of the pacifier part 4 and the main body of the tooth orthodontic appliance to ensure its good elasticity and wear resistance.

[0031] In a preferred example, the nipple part 4 includes a sucking part and a connecting part. The sucking part is connected to the inner side of the upper tongue guard 3 through the connecting part. The diameter of the sucking part is larger than that of the connecting part. The size of the connection between the nipple part 4 and the main body of the dental orthosis is relatively thin, enabling the nipple part 4 to not only serve as a nipple for the child to suck, but also as a tongue top to train the tongue muscles.

[0032] In practical applications, in order to adapt to the situation of a relatively small oral cavity space, while maintaining the strength of the connection, the size of the sucking part of the nipple part 4 can also be selected to be equal to or smaller than that of the connecting part.

[0033] In a preferred example, as Figure 4 shown, the upper lip guard 1 includes an intraoral upper lip guard and an extraoral upper lip guard arranged from the inside to the outside. The lower lip guard 2 includes an intraoral lower lip guard and an extraoral lower lip guard arranged from the inside to the outside. There is a tooth supporting structure between the upper occlusal part and the lower occlusal part. An upper dental alveolus is formed between the intraoral upper lip guard, the upper tongue guard 3 and the top of the tooth supporting structure. A lower dental alveolus is formed between the intraoral lower lip guard, the lower tongue guard and the bottom of the tooth supporting structure. The tooth supporting structure extends outward to form a lip supporting structure. An upper lip groove 5 is formed between the intraoral upper lip guard, the extraoral upper lip guard and the top of the lip supporting structure. A lower lip groove 6 is formed between the intraoral lower lip guard, the extraoral lower lip guard and the bottom of the lip supporting structure. When worn, the upper lip and the lower lip of the child are respectively located between the two layers of upper lip guards and the two layers of lower lip guards. By the upper lip and the lower lip respectively abutting against the upper and lower sides of the lip supporting structure, the action of lip sucking can be simulated, thereby training the lip muscles.

[0034] In a preferred example, it further includes a handle, which is installed outside the extraoral upper lip guard, outside the extraoral lower lip guard or outside the lip supporting structure for easy removal. The nipple part is a hollow structure, and the hollow structure communicates with the outside through an air hole provided in the tooth supporting structure between the upper occlusal part and the lower occlusal part.
