Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of protective braces technology, specifically relating to a tooth-separating motion protective brace. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the protective mouthguards have gained widespread recognition in the industry for their effectiveness in protecting athletes' mouths in various sports, such as basketball, rugby, and boxing. Many doctors and coaches recommend that athletes wear protective mouthguards during sports activities.

[0003] Sports mouthguards can be divided into three categories based on their usage characteristics: universal, thermoplastic, and custom-made. Universal mouthguards have a fixed appearance and limited fit to teeth; athletes choose the appropriate size based on their own dental arch size. Thermoplastic mouthguards are made of thermoplastic material, which is soaked in hot water and then worn on the teeth to be shaped by biting down. This type of mouthguard provides a better fit to the teeth. Custom-made mouthguards are made according to the user's dental mold, offering the highest fit and comfort.

[0004] Universal and custom-made braces come in two types: single-row and double-row, with double-row braces offering better protection. Typically, double-row braces have the upper and lower teeth sections connected together, with a small opening in the center for ventilation. While this type of brace provides good protection for the mouth, because the upper and lower teeth cannot move relative to each other, the brace can detach and lose its protective effect if the lower jaw experiences significant displacement due to impact. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dental arch separation type movement protection brace to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A dental arch separation type movement protection brace includes an upper protection brace, a lower protection brace, and a triple periodic minimal curved surface structure. The upper protection brace is disposed above the lower protection brace. The upper and lower protection braces are provided with the triple periodic minimal curved surface structure. The lower end of the upper protection brace abuts against the upper end of the triple periodic minimal curved surface structure, and the upper end of the lower protection brace abuts against the lower end of the triple periodic minimal curved surface structure.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, two triple periodic minimal curved surface structures are provided, and the two triple periodic minimal curved surface structures are symmetrically arranged between the upper protective brace and the lower protective brace.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, two triple periodic minimal curved surface structures are respectively disposed on the molar areas on both sides of the upper and lower protective braces.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the upper protective dental brace is printed by a 3D printer using ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer material.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the lower protective dental brace is printed by a 3D printer using ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer material.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the triple periodic minimal curved surface structure is printed by a 3D printer using ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer material.

[0013] Beneficial effects: The upper protective mouthguard of this utility model is set above the lower protective mouthguard. The two are designed separately, which allows for ventilation between them and ensures the protective effect on the mouth. The triple periodic minimal curved surface structure set between the upper and lower protective mouthguards can, on the one hand, allow the mouthguard to have a certain degree of mobility when the jaw is displaced due to impact, making it less likely to fall off. On the other hand, it can also achieve the function of energy absorption and cushioning, thus achieving a better protective effect. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the present utility model will be briefly introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and descriptions of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the following description of the structure of the accompanying drawings is only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on this utility model.

[0019] Example:

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a dental arch separation type movement protection mouthguard, including an upper protection mouthguard 1, a lower protection mouthguard 2, and a triple periodic minimal curved surface structure 3. The upper protection mouthguard 1 is placed above the lower protection mouthguard 2. First, the two are separated, leaving a breathable gap between them to ensure the protection effect on the mouth. Then, the upper protection mouthguard 1 and the lower protection mouthguard 2 are provided with the triple periodic minimal curved surface structure 3. The lower end of the upper protection mouthguard 1 abuts against the upper end of the triple periodic minimal curved surface structure 3, and the upper end of the lower protection mouthguard 2 abuts against the lower end of the triple periodic minimal curved surface structure 3. On the one hand, this allows the mouthguard to have a certain degree of mobility and is not easy to fall off. On the other hand, it can achieve the function of energy absorption and cushioning.

[0021] When manufacturing this dental arch separation type movement protective brace, the approximate shape and relative position of the upper and lower parts of the protective brace are first determined based on the user's dental mold. Then, Boolean operations are performed in the software to obtain the upper protective brace 1 and the lower protective brace 2, which are perfectly adapted to the dental mold. Then, a triple periodic minimal curved surface structure 3 is made to connect the upper protective brace 1 and the lower protective brace 2, and it is then assembled between the upper protective brace 1 and the lower protective brace 2.

[0022] The upper protective mouthguard 1 of this utility model is set above the lower protective mouthguard 2. The two are designed separately, so that a breathable gap is maintained between them to ensure the protective effect on the mouth. The triple periodic minimal curved surface structure 3 set between the upper protective mouthguard 1 and the lower protective mouthguard 2 can, on the one hand, allow the mouthguard to have a certain degree of mobility when the jaw is displaced due to impact, making it less likely to fall off. On the other hand, it can also achieve the function of energy absorption and cushioning, thus better achieving the protective effect.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment of this example, it should be further explained that two triple periodic minimal surface structures 3 are provided, and the two triple periodic minimal surface structures 3 are symmetrically arranged between the upper protective brace 1 and the lower protective brace 2, thereby making the upper protective brace 1 and the lower protective brace 2 more stable when connected by the triple periodic minimal surface structures 3.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, it should be further explained that the two triple periodic minimal curved surface structures 3 are respectively disposed on the molar regions on both sides of the upper protective brace 1 and the lower protective brace 2. The molar regions are the main stress-bearing locations under normal circumstances. The fact that the two triple periodic minimal curved surface structures 3 are both disposed on the molar regions can make the overall structure more stable.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, it should be further noted that the upper protective brace 1 is printed by a 3D printer using ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer material. Similarly, preferably, the lower protective brace 2 is printed by a 3D printer using ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer material, and the triple periodic minimal curved surface structure 3 is printed by a 3D printer using ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer material. The three are made of the same material, which can avoid reactions between different materials. Moreover, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is non-toxic, odorless, and belongs to environmentally friendly materials.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
