Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of oral correction, in particular, to a snore-preventing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The incidence of sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is currently on the rise, which is closely related to the improvement of people's living standards, the development of medical diagnosis technology, and the gradual attention to their own health. Among the respiratory disorder system diseases, OSAHS is the second disease next to asthma. Clinically, it can be treated by surgery, breathing machine and oral appliance. Since patients cannot tolerate surgery or cannot accept expensive and inconvenient breathing machine treatment, oral appliances have been widely used in the treatment of mild and moderate OSAHS patients.

[0003] The oral appliance is also called a snore-preventing device, which mainly uses physical intervention. The basic principle is to help patients reduce or eliminate snoring problems by slightly moving the lower jaw forward, increasing the airway space, and reducing soft tissue collapse.

[0004] The snore-preventing devices on the market are generally divided into split structure and integrated structure. For the split structure, such as the lock type snore-preventing device disclosed in CN206365972U, the fixer on the upper jaw sleeve and the fixer on the lower jaw sleeve are fixed by using the lock. This scheme has the defects of many product parts and difficulty in storage. In addition, there is also an integrated snore-preventing device, which is connected to the upper and lower jaws and is pre-formed. The defects of this way are strong foreign body sensation, causing discomfort to the user, and since pre-forming is used, but the dental conditions in each person's oral cavity are different, precise matching cannot be achieved.

[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art need to improve the existing snore-preventing device to overcome the above-mentioned defects. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0006] The main purpose of the present application is to provide a snore-preventing device with simple structure, no additional assembly of sliding blocks, integrated molding, no additional assembly, light, small foreign body sensation, and easy to clean and carry.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, in the first aspect, the present application provides a snore-preventing device, comprising an upper jaw sleeve, a lower jaw sleeve, a first positioning member arranged on the upper jaw sleeve, a second positioning member arranged on the lower jaw sleeve and matched with the first positioning member, and a jaw block for preventing the lower jaw from retreating fixedly arranged on the upper jaw sleeve, wherein the jaw block is located behind the first positioning member.

[0008] Optionally, the upper jaw sleeve, the lower jaw sleeve, the first positioning member and the second positioning member are made of medical silica gel or photosensitive resin.

[0009] Optionally, the upper jaw dental cover and the first positioning member are integrally formed, and the lower jaw dental cover and the second positioning member are integrally formed.

[0010] Optionally, the upper jaw dental cover and the first positioning member are integrally formed by injection molding or 3D printing, and the lower jaw dental cover and the second positioning member are integrally formed by injection molding or 3D printing.

[0011] Optionally, the upper jaw dental cover and the retreat prevention jaw block are integrally formed.

[0012] Optionally, the first positioning member and the second positioning member are hook-shaped.

[0013] Optionally, the upper jaw dental cover and the lower jaw dental cover are orthodontic dental covers.

[0014] Optionally, the first positioning member and the second positioning member each have two groups and are symmetrically arranged on two sides of the corresponding upper jaw dental cover and the lower jaw dental cover.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the snoring prevention device has the beneficial effects that the cooperation of the integrally formed first positioning member and the second positioning member guides the forward extension and positioning of the lower jaw, and the retreat prevention jaw block prevents the retreat of the lower jaw, thereby the structure is simple, no additional assembly slider is needed, and the integrally formed structure does not need additional assembly; the device is light, has little foreign body sensation, and is convenient to clean and carry.

[0026] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0027] As Figs. 1-3As shown, a snore-preventing device includes an upper jaw dental brace 1, a lower jaw dental brace 2, a first positioning member 3 arranged on the upper jaw dental brace 1, a second positioning member 4 arranged on the lower jaw dental brace 2 and matched with the first positioning member 3, and a jaw-retaining block 5 arranged on the upper jaw dental brace 1 and used for stabilizing the occlusion and preventing the lower jaw from retreating. The jaw-retaining block 5 is located behind the first positioning member 3 and has a good stable relationship with the opposite jaw.

[0028] In use, the upper jaw dental brace 1 is installed on the upper teeth of a human body, the lower jaw dental brace 2 is installed on the lower teeth of the human body, and when the upper and lower jaws are combined, the first positioning member 3 and the second positioning member 4 are matched with each other, thereby guiding the lower teeth to protrude to a corresponding position and achieving positioning, which increases the airway space and reduces the soft tissue collapse, thereby helping to reduce or eliminate the snoring problem. At the same time, the jaw-retaining block 5 prevents the lower jaw from retreating.

[0029] In addition, the upper jaw dental brace 1 and the lower jaw dental brace 2 are both orthodontic braces, which can fit the current dental arch shape of the patient while preventing snoring, and can simultaneously perform tooth correction. The braces can be designed individually according to the oral conditions of the patient.

[0030] Preferably, the upper jaw dental brace 1, the lower jaw dental brace 2, the first positioning member 3, and the second positioning member 4 are all made of medical silica gel or photosensitive resin.

[0031] In order to facilitate processing, the upper jaw dental brace 1 and the first positioning member 3, and the lower jaw dental brace 2 and the second positioning member 4 are integrally formed, and the upper jaw dental brace 1 and the jaw-retaining block 5 are integrally formed.

[0032] In addition, in order to achieve individualized design and meet the needs of different groups of people, the upper jaw dental brace 1 and the first positioning member 3, and the lower jaw dental brace 2 and the second positioning member 4 are integrally formed by injection molding or 3D printing.

[0033] In order to facilitate guiding the lower teeth to protrude when the upper and lower jaws are combined, and to achieve positioning after reaching the corresponding position, preferably, the first positioning member 3 and the second positioning member 4 are both hook-shaped.

[0034] In order to improve stability, the first positioning member 3 and the second positioning member 4 both have two groups and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the corresponding upper jaw dental brace 1 and the lower jaw dental brace 2.

[0035] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
