[0027] The present utility model will be further described in detail below by means of the drawings and examples. Through these descriptions, the characteristics and advantages of the present utility model will become clearer and more explicit.

[0028] The special word "exemplary" here means "as an example, embodiment or illustrative". Any embodiment described as "exemplary" here does not necessarily mean that it is superior or better than other embodiments. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated.

[0029] According to the temporomandibular joint disease relaxation decompression device provided by the present utility model, as shown in Figure 1 Fig. 1, it comprises a base plate 1 which is an arc shape matched with a dental arch, and a telescopic mouthpiece 2 is arranged on the base plate 1.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the TMJ relaxation decompression device further comprises a handle 3, one end of which is connected with the base plate 1, facilitating the placement of the base plate 1 into the oral cavity, so that the dental pad 2 enters between the upper and lower teeth, and the expansion and contraction of the dental pad 2 supports the opening and closing of the oral cavity, thereby achieving the auxiliary training effect.

[0031] Preferably, the dental pad 2 has two, which are respectively arranged at the two ends of the base plate 1, i.e. corresponding to the left and right posterior teeth positions of the human body.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the other end of the handle 3 is provided with a controller for controlling the expansion and contraction of the dental pad 2.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the dental pad 2 is a water bag, and the controller is a liquid injection mechanism, which controls the expansion and contraction amount of the dental pad 2 by injecting liquid into the dental pad 2. Traditional bite plates generally use hard plastic, which is difficult to insert into the oral cavity, difficult to adjust the thickness, and also has the problem of insufficient flexibility, causing increased pain when used by patients.

[0034] In the present application, when the dental pad 2 is a water bag, compared with other expansion and contraction mechanisms, the expansion and contraction can be achieved by injecting liquid, thereby achieving the auxiliary joint movement effect by supporting the teeth, and also providing appropriate support strength and flexibility to increase the buffering effect when the patient moves the joint and reduce the pain of the patient. In addition, the patient can also independently control the flexibility of the device, i.e. by injecting the volume of liquid, the patient can independently control the hardness of the dental pad, thereby obtaining better use comfort.

[0035] More preferably, a pipeline is arranged in the base plate and the handle, and the dental pad and the controller are connected through the pipeline.

[0036] Preferably, a valve is arranged on the pipeline, which facilitates the cutting off of the pipeline to maintain the pressure in the dental pad when the liquid in the dental pad reaches the required amount.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The dental pad 2 comprises a pad plate 21 and a bellows 22, the pad plate 21 is arranged at the upper and lower ends of the dental pad 2, and the bellows 22 is arranged at the middle part of the dental pad 2. The bellows structure of the bellows 22 realizes the expansion and contraction of the dental pad 2 in the upward and downward directions. When there is no liquid in the dental pad 2, the bellows contracts, and the pad plate 21 is close to the base plate 1; when liquid is injected into the dental pad 2, the bellows gradually expands, thereby moving the pad plate 21 away from the base plate 1.

[0038] In the present application, the specific structure of the controller is not limited, and those skilled in the art can freely arrange according to the actual needs, as long as the liquid capacity entering the pad plate 21 can be controlled, for example, a latex ball is used.

[0039] Preferably, the controller is a syringe, which is widely used, low in cost and easy to suck liquid.

[0040] In the description of the present application, it should be explained that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", "front", "back" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship in the working state of the present application, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth" are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0041] In the description of the present application, it should be explained that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting" and "connecting" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integral connection; it can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection; it can be direct connection, or indirect connection through intermediate medium, or communication between two elements. For ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0042] The above describes the present application in combination with the preferred embodiments, but these embodiments are only exemplary and only serve to illustrate. On this basis, various substitutions and improvements can be made to the present application, which all fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
