Then, one end of the inflation tube 3 passes through the middle of the support plate 1, and the arc-shaped plate 22 at the end of the outer bladder 2 passes through the arc-shaped opening 11 on the support plate 1. Subsequently, the medical staff tighten the nut 44 on the support plate 1, causing the nut 44 to push the clamping plate 43 to move inside the moving groove 12 on the support plate 1. After the clamping plate 43 moves, the arc-shaped plate 22 is pressed tightly against the inner wall of the arc-shaped opening 11. The outer capsule 2 is fixed in place. Then, the outer capsule 2 is inserted into the patient's mouth. According to the patient's chewing needs, air is injected into the inner side of the inflatable capsule 31 by inserting an external syringe into one end of the inflation tube 3. After the inflatable capsule 31 expands, the outer capsule 2 supports the expansion. After adjusting to a suitable chewing size for the patient, the syringe is removed and the inner thread cap 34 is tightened on the outer side of one end of the inflation tube 3 to seal the inflatable capsule 31. The patient can then chew the outer capsule 2 for exercise. The overall tool has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and can be reused.
