A method of treating a soft palate in a patient may involve advancing a tissue treatment portion of a soft palate treatment device through the patient's mouth, contacting a treatment surface of the tissue treatment portion with mucosal tissue of the soft palate, and delivering energy from the tissue treatment portion through the mucosal tissue to a target tissue in the soft palate beneath to the mucosal tissue, to change at least one property of the target tissue. The method may further involve cooling the mucosal tissue with a cooling member on the treatment surface of the tissue treatment portion and removing the tissue treatment portion from the mouth.

This utility model discloses a palatal support occlusal oral device, comprising an upper dental brace and a palatal support. The upper dental brace has a structure that engages with the upper teeth, including the buccal surface, lingual surface, and occlusal surface of the upper teeth. The palatal support includes a hard palate region corresponding to the hard palate and a soft palate region corresponding to the soft palate. Pressure sensors are respectively provided on at least the occlusal surface of the upper teeth and on both the hard and soft palate regions. This utility model, by placing sensors at multiple points on the tongue, palate, and occlusal surface, can detect pressure data at multiple points, thereby enabling coordinated analysis of multi-stage chewing and swallowing movements.

This invention provides a device for treating snoring, comprising a support segment with a connecting segment at its tail end. The support segment is composed of multiple elastic keels, each connected at its tail end to the connecting segment. Each elastic keel expands outwards when the support segment is extended. It also includes an insertion tube, which is hollow and allows the support segment to retract and be placed within it. The support segment, which can be inserted into the pharynx for further expansion, opens the airway and prevents snoring caused by soft palate or pharyngeal collapse. After the support segment is delivered to its position via the insertion device, the device is dislodged, allowing the support segment to expand and support the soft palate or posterior tongue root. Alternatively, it can be delivered to a designated location via a delivery tube, and by pulling the inner core outwards, the elastic keels of the support segment bend and expand to support the soft palate or posterior tongue root, thus opening the airway and treating snoring. This method does not require removal of the soft palate and therefore does not affect the patient's eating.

Disclosed herein is a method of treating neurodegenerative diseases involving accumulation of abnormal proteins in the central nervous system (CNS) of a user. The method includes utilizing an intraoral device to apply photobiomodulation and vibration to specific points on hard and soft palates of the user to stimulate the user's glymphatic system and decongest hyperphosphorylated tau and amyloid proteins and toxins, and simultaneously with the utilization of the intraoral device, applying a transcranial device to exert vasopneumatic compression and photobiomodulation on the user's head and neck to stimulate the user's lymphatic system and enhance the flow of lymphatic fluid towards the subclavian lymphatic pathway.
