[0025] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment proposes a functional dental pad for stabilizing the maxillofacial region during movement, including a dental pad body 1, with a dental groove 2 formed at the top of the dental pad body 1, and a comfort protection component 3 disposed on the inner wall of the dental pad body 1. The comfort protection component 3 includes an outer layer 31 disposed on the inner wall of the dental pad body 1, a middle layer 32 disposed below the outer layer 31, and an inner layer 33 disposed below the middle layer 32. Both the middle layer 32 and the inner layer 33 are disposed on the inner wall of the dental pad body 1.
[0028] The outer layer 31 is located between the dental pad body 1 and the middle layer 32. The interior of the outer layer 31 is made of polycarbonate and thermoplastic polyurethane. The rigid material of the outer layer 31 provides strong protection and can effectively disperse external forces, reducing the impact of direct impact on the teeth and jawbone.
[0029] The intermediate layer 32 is located between the outer layer 31 and the inner layer 33. The interior of the intermediate layer 32 is provided with an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. The material of the intermediate layer 32 has good elasticity and softness, which can absorb and disperse external forces and reduce the impact force transmitted to the teeth and jawbone.
[0030] The inner layer 33 is located between the middle layer 32 and the main body 1 of the dental pad. The inner layer 33 is filled with soft EVA material and soft foam. The inner layer 33 provides comfort, ensures that the dental pad fits the mouth when worn, increases the comfort of wearing, and reduces friction or discomfort.
[0031] In this embodiment, the dental pad body 1 is snapped up onto the teeth, corresponding to the alveolar 2, thus protecting the teeth. The outer layer 31, located on the surface of the dental pad body 1, is made of materials such as polycarbonate and thermoplastic polyurethane, providing robust protection and effectively dispersing external forces, reducing the impact of direct impacts on the teeth and jawbone. This prevents direct external force damage to the teeth during sports activities, such as fractures or pressure injuries. The middle layer 32 contains an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer material. These materials have excellent elasticity and softness, absorbing and dispersing external forces, reducing the transmission of impact forces to the teeth and jawbone, helping to alleviate the impact during sports activities and reducing pressure on the maxillofacial structures, especially... Playing a crucial protective role in high-impact sports, the inner layer 33 is located on the surface of the alveolar bone 2, directly contacting the teeth. The interior of the inner layer 33 is filled with soft EVA material and soft foam, which can provide comfort and ensure that the mouthpiece fits the mouth when worn, increasing wearing comfort and reducing friction or discomfort. The soft material can better conform to the shape of the teeth, avoiding pressure on the teeth and oral mucosa during long-term wear, and enhancing stability to prevent the mouthpiece from slipping. The different materials of each layer work together to effectively disperse external forces during sports and reduce local pressure. The soft inner layer 33 ensures wearing comfort and avoids discomfort caused by long-term wear. The combination of the hard outer layer 31 and the middle layer 32 reduces the risk of tooth injury, jaw fracture, etc.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] like Figures 1-5 As shown, based on the same concept as in Embodiment 1 above, a fixing component 4 is provided on the outer wall of the dental pad body 1. The fixing component 4 includes a connecting block 41. The side of the connecting block 41 is fixedly connected to the side of the dental pad body 1. A fixing ring 42 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting block 41. A bolt 45 is rotatably connected to the end of the fixing ring 42 away from the connecting block 41. A fixing ring 43 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting block 41. A groove 44 is provided at the end of the fixing ring 43 away from the connecting block 41. The fixing ring 42 and the fixing ring 43 are connected by the groove 44 and the bolt 45, thereby fixing the dental pad body 1 to the teeth.
[0034] The slot 44 is located on the displacement trajectory of the bolt 45. The inner wall of the slot 44 is provided with threads, and the thread design is conducive to connecting the bolt 45 with the slot 44.
[0035] Several fixing rings 42 and 43 are provided. The fixing rings 42 and 43 are located on the surface of the dental pad body 1. The presence of several fixing rings helps to stably fix the dental pad body 1 to the teeth.
[0036] Several bolts 45 are provided, and several slots 44 are provided. The design of the slots 44 is conducive to connecting the first fixing ring 42 and the second fixing ring 43.
[0037] In this embodiment, rotating the first fixing ring 42 and the second fixing ring 43 along the connecting block 41 moves the first fixing ring 42 and the second fixing ring 43 in opposite directions, which in turn moves the slot 44 and the bolt 45 in the same direction, allowing the bolt 45 to pass through the slot 44. Then, rotating the bolt 45 connects the bolt 45 with the thread on the slot 44, thus connecting the first fixing ring 42 and the second fixing ring 43 together and wrapping around the dental pad body 1. This connects the dental pad body 1 to the teeth. Through the rotational connection of the first fixing ring 42 and the second fixing ring 43, the dental pad can be tightly fixed to the teeth, preventing the dental pad from loosening or sliding during movement, thereby providing more stable support for the maxillofacial region. Especially in the case of violent exercise or impact, a stable dental pad can effectively prevent maxillofacial injury or tooth movement.
[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
