Satsuma style small face mouthpiece / facial aligner

Abstract

To provide a mouthpiece that solves problems such as a long face, choking, and pain in the temporomandibular joint caused by downward and backward movement of the jaw position with aging, and corrects the jaw position to improve the aesthetics and health of a user. [Solution] The mouthpiece is an orthodontic appliance designed to align the jaw bone structure. It has a U-shaped tray shape that corresponds to the maxillary dentition. It is deformable by immersing it in hot water to soften it before use, allowing it to fit snugly against the user's maxillary dentition. The mouthpiece comes in at least three different hardness variations, and the user can select the optimal hardness from these multiple hardness options depending on the condition of the jaw muscles and biting pressure. By placing this device in the mouth, the jaw position is guided to the normal position.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a mouthpiece intended to improve the aesthetics and health of the human face. [Background technology]

[0002] Until now, there have been mouthpieces to protect teeth at dentistry etc., but there have been no examples of mouthpieces aimed at improving aesthetics and promoting health like this invention. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] As people age, the position of their lower jaw moves downward and backward, causing a long face and choking. When the lower jaw moves downward and backward, it tries to maintain that position due to biological homeostasis, resulting in a long face and choking. This is why older people tend to have longer faces and are more prone to choking than when they were younger. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] By using this mouthpiece, the lower jaw can be positioned upward and forward, returning it to its original position in younger years, resulting in improved aesthetics and jaw function. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] With continued use, the jaw will settle into its natural position through biological homeostasis. Furthermore, wearing the mouthpiece reduces the amount of force exerted on the jaw, which helps prevent clenching of the teeth. Wearing the mouthpiece also stimulates the salivary glands, increasing saliva production compared to when not in use. Increased saliva production can also be expected to improve immunity. All of this leads to improved aesthetics and health. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0006] [Figure 1] 1 is a diagram showing the shape of the upper part of the present invention; [Figure 2] 1 is a diagram showing the lower part of the present invention; FIG. [Figure 3] 1 is a diagram showing the three different hardnesses mentioned in claim 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] Place Figure 1 in a bowl or similar and pour in boiling water at about 100°C. Leave it for about 30 seconds, and when the shape of Figure 1 has slightly shrunk, use chopsticks or something similar to remove it from the water. Compare it to before it was placed in the water and make sure that it has softened. At this time, be careful not to let the two ends of the U-shape stick to each other. Place this device over your upper jaw teeth. Be careful not to roll in your upper lip. Lightly bite down on your upper and lower teeth over the device, starting with your front teeth and then your back teeth. Then, while still lightly biting down, apply light pressure to your cheeks with both hands and point your lips to form the device. [Example]

[0008] An embodiment will be described below with reference to the attached drawing 1. 1. A shape designed to be flexible and deformable to fit the shape of the oral cavity of each user. 2. A shape with sufficient height to fit the dentition of each user. 3. A curved structure to be placed inside the oral cavity, and a shape designed to prevent pain during use.

[0009] An embodiment will be described below with reference to the attached drawing 2. 4 A protrusion designed as a guide for aligning the lower front teeth when creating the mouthpiece. 5 A gently curved shape to fit the lower jaw dentition of each user. 6 A curved structure is used as the surface to be placed inside the oral cavity, and the shape is designed to prevent pain during use.

Claims

[Claim 1] The "Satsuma Style Small Face Mouthpiece / Facial Aligner" (hereinafter referred to as this device) corrects facial habits such as facial distortion, asymmetry, and clenching, aligns the jaw bones, and relieves pain in the temporomandibular joint. After softening the device by placing it in hot water, it becomes an orthodontic device with the optimal shape for each individual. The above effects can be achieved by placing this device in the mouth and using it for 90 seconds three times a day continuously for at least two weeks. The shape of this invention was developed in-house. The shape has been perfected through research to make it easy for anyone to create and adapt to the alignment of teeth. This device also comes in three different hardness levels thanks to a special material blend. This allows you to treat your jaw condition with the orthodontic appliance of the hardness that is most suitable for you.
