Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral support technology, and in particular to an oral support for children to prevent biting injuries. Background Technology

[0002] Oral health is crucial for children's healthy growth, so protecting their teeth should begin in early childhood. Children who learn about dental care from a young age and practice scientifically protect their teeth will benefit throughout their lives. When children experience dental problems, timely treatment is necessary. During invasive dental treatments for children, local anesthesia is often used to alleviate pain during the procedure.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN202222891920.X discloses an oral support device, which includes a connecting part and two supporting parts. The supporting parts are used to support the oral cavity, and a supporting part is provided at each end of the connecting part to improve the stability of the support.

[0004] The aforementioned device is placed inside the child's teeth to support the oral cavity, but it cannot adjust the support between the child's lower lip and lower teeth. Due to limited self-control, children often intentionally or unintentionally bite their lip and cheek tissues, especially the lower lip, after using local anesthetics for oral cavity, causing traumatic ulcers. Therefore, we propose an oral support device to prevent children from biting. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing the following technical solution: A child's oral support for preventing bites includes an upper support frame and a lower support frame. The upper and lower support frames are arranged in an arc shape and are located between the child's lower teeth and lower lip. A support adjustment mechanism is provided between the upper and lower support frames. A lower gingival pad is fixedly provided on the inner side of the lower support frame, and an upper protective layer is fixedly provided on the inner side of the upper support frame. A lower lip support arc frame is fixedly provided on the upper outer side of the upper support frame. Support positioning mechanisms are fixedly provided at both ends of the upper support frame, and a liquid guiding mechanism is fixedly provided on the upper support frame.

[0006] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the support adjustment mechanism includes threaded holes respectively opened on one side of the opposite surfaces of the upper support frame and the lower support frame, a miniature bidirectional threaded rod threaded between the two threaded holes, a screw fixedly provided in the middle of the two threads of the miniature bidirectional threaded rod, a central sliding hole opened in the middle of the upper support frame and the lower support frame, a central sliding rod slidably connected between the two central sliding holes, and side sliding holes respectively opened on the other side of the opposite surfaces of the upper support frame and the lower support frame, a side sliding rod slidably connected between the two side sliding holes.

[0007] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a spring is sleeved on the outer side of the side slide rod, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the upper support frame, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the lower support frame.

[0008] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the support positioning mechanism includes a connecting frame fixedly installed at the end of the upper support frame, and a toothed frame is fixedly installed on the connecting frame.

[0009] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a tooth support block is provided above the tooth frame, and the tooth support block is arranged in a T-shape.

[0010] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the liquid guiding mechanism includes a set of through holes opened on the upper support frame, in which liquid guiding tubes are fixedly installed, and an arc tube is fixedly installed above the two liquid guiding tubes, with a pipe joint fixedly installed on the arc tube.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. When children use oral support devices, the structure of the support adjustment mechanism allows for flexible adjustment of the distance between the upper and lower support frames, making it suitable for children with different oral vestibule sizes.

[0012] 2. The structure of the lower lip support arc can support the inner side of the child's lower lip outward, thereby supporting the child's lips and reducing the occurrence of biting after numbness of the lower lip.

[0013] 3. Through the structural design of the support positioning mechanism, the tooth bracket is installed on the occlusal surface of the child's lower teeth, so that the upper support is positioned in front of the child's lower teeth, thereby stably placing the oral support between the child's lower teeth and lower lip. When the child closes their mouth, they bite on the tooth support with their posterior teeth, thereby reducing the occurrence of biting injuries after numbness of the lower lip.

[0014] 4. Through the structure of the liquid guiding mechanism, an external micro-liquid pump can be connected to the sleeve connector. The saliva between the lower teeth and lower lip enters the arc tube through the liquid guiding tube, which can draw out the saliva between the child's lower teeth and lower lip, reducing the accumulation of saliva between the child's lower teeth and lower lip.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following provides a more detailed description of the utility model. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a child-friendly mouth support to prevent bites, comprising an upper support frame 1 and a lower support frame 2. Both the upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2 are made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), possessing excellent chemical stability and lubricity, not reacting with saliva or oral tissues, having a low coefficient of friction, and providing good comfort. The upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2 are arranged in an arc shape, similar to the curvature of a child's teeth. The upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2 are located between the child's lower teeth and lower lip. The lower support frame 2 is inserted into the child's... A support adjustment mechanism is installed between the upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2, between the gums and lower lip. This mechanism allows for stable and flexible adjustment of the gap between the upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2, suitable for children with different oral vestibule sizes. A lower gum protection pad, made of medical-grade silicone, is fixedly installed on the inner side of the lower support frame 2. When the lower support frame 2 is inserted between the child's gums and lower lip, the lower gum protection pad conforms to the child's gums, providing support. To provide protection and enhance the child's user experience, an upper protective layer 3 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the upper support frame 1. The upper protective layer 3 fits snugly against the lower part of the child's lower teeth, providing protection for the child's teeth. A lower lip support arc frame 4 is fixedly installed on the upper outer side of the upper support frame 1. The lower lip support arc frame 4 is made of medical-grade silicone. Through the structure of the lower lip support arc frame 4, the inner side of the child's lower lip can be supported outward, thereby supporting the child's lips and reducing the occurrence of biting after numbness of the lower lip. Support positioning mechanisms are fixedly installed at both ends of the upper support frame 1. Through the structure of the support positioning mechanism, the upper support frame 1 can be positioned on the occlusal surface of the child's lower teeth, thereby stably placing the oral support between the child's lower teeth and lower lip. A liquid guiding mechanism is fixedly installed on the upper support frame 1. Through the structure of the liquid guiding mechanism, a liquid pump can be connected to the liquid guiding mechanism to extract saliva between the child's lower teeth and lower lip, reducing the accumulation of saliva between the child's lower teeth and lower lip.

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 3The support adjustment mechanism includes threaded holes 5 on one side of the upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2, respectively. A miniature bidirectional threaded rod 6 is threaded between the two threaded holes 5. A screw 7 is fixedly installed in the middle of the two threads of the miniature bidirectional threaded rod 6. The screw 7 allows the user to rotate the miniature bidirectional threaded rod 6, thereby adjusting the distance between the upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2. A central sliding hole 8 is opened in the middle of the upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2. A central sliding rod 9 is slidably connected between the two central sliding holes 8 to improve the stability of the adjustment between the upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2. Side sliding holes 10 are opened on the other side of the upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2, respectively. A side sliding rod 11 is slidably connected between the two side sliding holes 10 to improve the stability of the adjustment between the upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2.

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 A spring 12 is sleeved on the outer side of the side slide rod 11. One end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the upper support frame 1, and the other end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the lower support frame 2. The spring 12 is a type of compression spring. When the distance between the upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2 is adjusted, the stability of the adjustment of the upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2 is improved by the spring 12 sleeved on the outer side of the side slide rod 11.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 The support positioning mechanism includes a connecting frame 13 fixedly installed at the end of the upper support frame 1, and a tooth holder 14 fixedly installed on the connecting frame 13. Through the structural arrangement of the support positioning mechanism, the upper support frame 1 can be positioned on the occlusal surface of the child's lower teeth, thereby stably placing the oral support between the child's lower teeth and lower lip.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 The tooth bracket 14 is provided with a tooth support block 15 above it. The tooth support block 15 is T-shaped and made of silicone. When the tooth bracket 14 is installed on the child's lower teeth occlusal surface, the child closes his mouth and bites on the tooth support block 15 with his back teeth, thereby supporting the upper jaw and reducing the occurrence of biting injury after numbness of the lower lip.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 3The liquid guiding mechanism includes a set of through holes 16 opened on the upper support frame 1. A liquid guiding tube 17 is fixedly installed in the through holes 16. An arc tube 18 is fixedly installed above the two liquid guiding tubes 17. A pipe connector 19 is fixedly installed on the arc tube 18. Through the structure of the liquid guiding mechanism, an external micro liquid pump can be connected to the pipe connector 19. The saliva between the lower teeth and the lower lip enters the arc tube 18 through the liquid guiding tube 17, which can draw out the saliva between the child's lower teeth and lower lip, reducing the accumulation of saliva between the child's lower teeth and lower lip.

[0024] When a child uses an oral support, the adjustable mechanism allows for flexible adjustment of the distance between the upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2, making it suitable for different children. By turning the screw 7, the miniature bidirectional threaded rod 6 rotates, causing its two threads to rotate on the threaded holes 5 on the opposite sides of the upper and lower support frames 1 and 2, respectively. This adjusts the distance between the upper and lower support frames 1 and 2. Simultaneously, the middle sliding rod 9... The upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2 slide in the middle sliding hole 8, which improves the stability of the adjustment between the upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2. Moreover, the side sliding rod 11 slides in the side sliding hole 10 on the other side of the opposite face of the upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2. A spring 12 is sleeved on the outer side of the side sliding rod 11. The spring 12 deforms under the external force. Due to the restoring force of the spring 12, it generates a reaction force on the upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2, so that the upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2 are stably supported. By using the structure of the lower lip support arc frame 4, the inner side of the child's lower lip can be supported outward, thereby supporting the child's lips and reducing the occurrence of biting after the lower lip becomes numb. By using the structure of the support positioning mechanism, the tooth bracket 14 is installed on the child's lower tooth occlusal surface, so that the upper support bracket 1 is positioned on the child's lower tooth occlusal surface, thereby stably placing the oral support between the child's lower teeth and lower lip. When the child closes his mouth, he bites on the tooth support block 15 with his posterior teeth, thereby supporting the maxilla and reducing the occurrence of biting injuries after numbness of the lower lip. Through the structure of the liquid guiding mechanism, an external micro-liquid pump can be connected to the sleeve connector 19. The saliva between the lower teeth and lower lip enters the arc tube 18 through the liquid guiding tube 17, which can draw out the saliva between the child's lower teeth and lower lip, reducing the accumulation of saliva between the child's lower teeth and lower lip.

[0025] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
