Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of anti-bruxism jaw pad, especially to a jaw pad for preventing nocturnal bruxism. BACKGROUND

[0002] Anti-bruxism jaw pads, also known as mouth guards or nocturnal bruxism jaw pads, are designed specifically for patients with nocturnal bruxism, aiming to protect the oral cavity from damage. It is a highly effective means of tooth protection, which can significantly reduce tooth wear and help improve sleep quality. However, this treatment method is not without flaws.

[0003] In the state of sleep at night, people's consciousness is relatively blurred, and involuntary behavior is prone to occur. If the jaw pad is not stable or the size is not accurate, there is a risk of being swallowed, which may cause serious consequences such as suffocation or digestive tract injury. In addition, if the jaw pad shifts or falls off during sleep, it may also block the airway, affecting normal breathing, and in extreme cases, it may cause suffocation.

[0004] The material and design of the jaw pad also need to be carefully considered. Too hard material or unreasonable design may damage the oral soft tissues such as gums, tongue, etc. Long-term wearing of unsuitable jaw pads may also cause tooth pain, gum bleeding and other discomfort.

[0005] The wearing of anti-bruxism jaw pads may also affect oral hygiene. Bacteria and food residues may accumulate on the surface of the jaw pad, and if it is not cleaned in time or replaced in place, it may induce oral infection.

[0006] Long-term use of anti-bruxism jaw pads may also cause patients to develop a dependency. Once the use is stopped, the bruxism symptoms may rebound, which needs to be paid attention to by the patients. INVENTION CONTENT

[0028] To make the technical means, creative features, purposes and effects achieved by the utility model easy to understand, the following further describes the utility model in conjunction with specific implementation manners.

[0029] For example, Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, a jaw pad device specially used for preventing nocturnal tooth grinding, the main components include elastic bands 4 and buckle devices 5. Among them, the buckle devices 5 are ingeniously arranged at the end of the two elastic bands 4, so that the two elastic bands 4 can be flexibly and stably connected through the buckle devices 5.

[0030] The other end of the elastic band 4 is fixedly connected with a connecting piece 2, and a conformal jaw pad 1 is ingeniously arranged between the two connecting pieces 2. Through the unique conformal design of the jaw pad, it can be closely attached to the user's mandibular part, and then be stably fixed on the user's head through the elastic band 4 and the buckle device 5, effectively preventing the occurrence of nocturnal tooth grinding phenomenon.

[0031] The design of the conformal jaw pad 1 is extremely ingenious, which mainly consists of a front shell 11 and a side shell 12. The side shell 12 is located at both ends of the front shell 11, and both of them together present the contour shape of the mandible, thereby ensuring the comfort and conformability of the jaw pad. In particular, the upper end of the two side shells 12 is also designed with a conformal protruding part 13, which can extend to the mastoid position of the head, further enhancing the stability and conformability of the jaw pad, so that the mandibular part can be completely supported and fixed.

[0032] In order to further improve the comfort and adaptability of the jaw pad, the inner cavity of the front shell 11 is specially provided with an inner air bag cover 14, which can be closely attached to the user's mental protuberance and mental tubercle part; and the inner cavity of the side shell 12 is provided with a side air bag cover 15, which is attached to the mandibular body and mandibular angle. The design of such air bag cover not only improves the comfort of the jaw pad, but also can be adjusted according to the actual situation of the user to achieve the best conforming effect.

[0033] The front shell 11, the side shell 12 and the conformal protruding part 13 all adopt an integrated design, and the materials selected are any one of high-quality materials such as fiber-reinforced plastic composite material, PC / PMMA composite board or PC / ABS alloy material, to ensure the firmness and durability of the jaw pad and comfortable experience.

[0034] The design of the conformal protruding part 13 is also unique, which adopts a combination of front protrusion and rear protrusion, and a horn-shaped design, which can better conform to the shape of the head. In addition, the side wall of the protruding part is also provided with a plurality of mounting hole positions 16, which are designed as stepped holes and are provided with arc-shaped edges, so that the connecting piece 2 can be flexibly adjusted according to different head shapes.

[0035] The design of the connecting piece 2 also takes into account the human factor, with a "T" shaped cross-section and a rubber cover on the inner end to increase comfort. The elastic band 4 is attached to the end of the connecting piece 2 through a hole and is connected using adhesive. In addition, the outer end of the connecting piece 2 has a screw hole, allowing the elastic band 4 and the connecting piece 2 to be fixed and connected by a fastening bolt 3. This dual installation method provides users with more options and convenience.

[0036] This jaw pad device not only has a clever design and high-quality materials, but also has powerful functions and high comfort. It can effectively prevent the occurrence of nocturnal bruxism and protect the user's oral health and sleep quality.

[0037] When installing: Ensure that the jaw pad device (including the elastic band 4, buckle device 5, connecting piece 2, and fitted jaw pad 1) is intact and prepare the necessary tools (such as fastening bolts 3, adhesives, etc.).

[0038] Connect the two ends of the elastic band 4 through the buckle device 5 to ensure stable connection. Adjust the length of the elastic band 4 to fit the user's head size. Fix the connecting piece 2 to the other end of the elastic band 4. Ensure that the connecting piece 2 is securely installed on the elastic band 4 and check for any looseness.

[0039] Place the fitted jaw pad 1 between the two connecting pieces 2 so that the front shell 11 and the side shell 12 are tightly fitted to the connecting pieces 2. Adjust the position and angle of the connecting pieces 2 to ensure that the jaw pad tightly fits the user's lower jaw area.

[0040] According to the actual situation of the user, adjust the mounting hole 16 of the fitted protrusion 13 and the screw hole of the connecting piece 2, and use the fastening bolt 3 or adhesive to further fix the jaw pad device. Ensure that the jaw pad is securely fixed to the user's head and that the comfort level is optimal.

[0041] Jaw pad usage process: Before wearing the jaw pad, the user should ensure that the face and lower jaw area are clean and free of foreign objects. At the same time, check if the jaw pad is intact and replace it if it is damaged. Align the fitted jaw pad 1 part of the jaw pad with the lower jaw area, gently wrap the elastic band 4 around the head and tighten it to the appropriate position. Adjust the buckle device 5 and the length of the elastic band 4 to ensure that the jaw pad is securely fixed to the user's head.

[0042] When wearing the jaw pad for the first time, the user may feel a little uncomfortable or foreign. This is a normal phenomenon and the user needs to give themselves some time to adapt. It is recommended to gradually increase the wearing time during the initial wearing period to help oneself better adapt to the jaw pad.

[0043] During use, the user should clean the jaw pad and the elastic band 4 regularly to keep them hygienic and dry. At the same time, attention should be paid to check whether the jaw pad is damaged or deformed, and if so, it should be replaced in time. The jaw pad device is mainly designed for preventing bruxism at night. The user can sleep soundly after wearing the jaw pad before going to sleep. The jaw pad can effectively protect the oral health and sleep quality of the user.
