Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of orthodontic technology, and in particular to an occlusal plate. Background Technology

[0002] Occlusal splints are removable artificial occlusal devices used to treat temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). Also known as occlusal braces or oral appliances, they alleviate temporomandibular joint and muscle symptoms by adjusting jaw position. They are suitable for eliminating clicking, reducing pain, treating bruxism, and assisting in orthodontic treatment. Types include protrusion positioning, stabilization, and relaxation types. Doctors select the appropriate type based on the patient's condition and combine it with jaw adjustment to determine the therapeutic jaw position to achieve diagnostic and therapeutic effects.

[0003] Currently, during the use of occlusal splints, excessive force can easily be applied during the patient's mouth closure process, leading to splint damage and reducing its lifespan. Therefore, an occlusal splint is proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0020] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.

[0021] The bite plate of the present application embodiment is described below.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4As shown, a biting plate includes a biting plate body 1, a fixing plate 2 is bonded to the bottom surface of the biting plate body 1, a rubber buffer pad 3 is provided on the bottom side of the fixing plate 2, a connecting plate 4 is bonded to the bottom side of the rubber buffer pad 3, and a silicone plate 5 is bonded to the bottom side of the connecting plate 4. When the biting plate body 1 is subjected to downward biting pressure, the pressure is transmitted to the rubber buffer pad 3 through the fixing plate 2. The rubber buffer pad 3 will undergo elastic deformation (be slightly compressed), converting the "rigid impact force" into "elastic deformation force", thereby significantly reducing the pressure transmitted to the connecting plate 4 and the silicone plate 5.

[0023] Threaded sleeve 6, which is fixedly connected to the bottom side surface of the engagement plate 1; Locking component 7 is installed on the bottom side of connecting plate 4. Locking component 7 is used to fix plate 2, rubber buffer pad 3, connecting plate 4 and interlocking plate body 1.

[0024] The fixed plate 2, rubber buffer pad 3, connecting plate 4, and silicone plate 5 are closely fitted together. The silicone is softer than rubber and can provide secondary buffering for residual pressure that the rubber buffer pad 3 has not fully absorbed, further improving the comfort of use.

[0025] The number of locking components 7 is three, and the three locking components 7 are evenly distributed on the bottom side of the connecting plate 4. The bottom end of the locking component 7 is covered by a silicone plate to facilitate the fixing of the connecting plate 4 and prevent local gaps from affecting the buffering effect or the stability of use.

[0026] The locking component 7 includes a locking head 71, a guide rod 72, and a threaded post 73. The locking head 71 is rotatably mounted on the bottom side of the rubber buffer pad 3. The guide rod 72 is fixedly connected to the top side of the locking head 71. The threaded post 73 is fixed to the top of the guide rod 72. The top of the guide rod 72 slides through the pre-set holes in the connecting plate 4, the rubber buffer pad 3, and the fixing plate 2 in sequence (the size of the holes matches the size of the guide rod 72, allowing only sliding and not shaking), ensuring that the threaded post 73 can be accurately aligned with the threaded sleeve 6 on the bottom side of the engagement plate 1. Rotating the locking head 71 causes the guide rod 72 and the threaded post 73 to rotate synchronously. Because the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 6 has internal threads, the threaded post 73 will be screwed into the threaded sleeve 6 through thread engagement. As the rotation goes deeper, the locking head 71 will push the connecting plate 4 upward, and then the connecting plate 4 will press the rubber buffer pad 3 and the fixing plate 2 tightly against the biting plate body 1, so as to prevent the metal or hard material locking head 71 from directly contacting oral tissues (such as gums and buccal mucosa) and prevent scratches or irritation. The softness of the silicone plate can improve the fit between the device and the inside of the mouth, reduce the feeling of foreign objects, and at the same time play a certain sealing role to prevent food residue from entering the gap between the locking part 7 and the connecting plate 4.

[0027] The top of the light rod 72 slides through the connecting plate 4, the rubber buffer pad 3, and the fixing plate 2 in sequence.

[0028] The inner wall of the threaded sleeve 6 is provided with internal threads, and the threaded sleeve 6 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded column 73 through the internal threads.

[0029] In use, all electrical components mentioned in this application are externally connected to a power supply and control switch. The top of the smooth rod 72 slides sequentially through the pre-set holes in the connecting plate 4, the rubber buffer pad 3, and the fixing plate 2 (the hole size matches the smooth rod 72, allowing only sliding and not shaking), ensuring that the threaded post 73 can be accurately aligned with the threaded sleeve 6 on the bottom side of the engagement plate 1. Rotating the locking head 71 causes the smooth rod 72 and the threaded post 73 to rotate synchronously. Because the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 6 has internal threads, the threaded post 73 will pass through... The locking head 71 is screwed into the threaded sleeve 6 through the thread engagement. As it rotates deeper, the locking head 71 will push upward against the connecting plate 4. In turn, the connecting plate 4 will press the rubber buffer pad 3 and the fixing plate 2 tightly against the biting plate body 1, preventing the metal or hard material locking head 71 from directly contacting oral tissues (such as gums and buccal mucosa) and preventing scratches or irritation. The softness of the silicone plate can improve the fit between the device and the inside of the mouth, reduce the feeling of foreign objects, and at the same time play a certain sealing role to prevent food residue from entering the gap between the locking part 7 and the connecting plate 4.

[0030] The advantages of this application are: 1. This type of bite plate features a novel design and simple structure. The locking mechanism, in conjunction with the threaded sleeve, achieves rigid fixation of multiple components without gaps, preventing displacement or deformation during biting, ensuring structural stability, significantly reducing biting impact force, evenly distributing pressure, protecting the gums and alveolar bone, reducing discomfort, and the silicone plate prevents scratches and reduces foreign body sensation. Medical-grade silicone or rubber fits the oral cavity, is non-allergenic, and is compatible with the oral environment.

[0031] The circuits, electronic components, and modules involved are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this application does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
