This product is a lip piece for nasal breathing during sleep. Traditionally, mouthpieces are worn between the upper and lower teeth inside the mouth, but this lip piece is placed between the upper and lower gums and lips, covering the entire lip, and has a slightly elongated ring shape. It utilizes the principle that even ordinary people can achieve nasal and diaphragmatic breathing by opening their mouths wide like singers. One piece can be fitted to set two sizes, slightly elongated vertically and slightly horizontally. This allows for adjustments to the size of the person's mouth and jaw closure, adjustment of the amount of air, and multi-purpose use such as daytime fitting practice or nighttime sleep use. The material is synthetic resin, and you can choose between a harder (plastic) and a softer (elastomer) version. When this product is worn on the lips, the larynx opens, ensuring an open airway during sleep, allowing for smooth nasal breathing, and preventing snoring and sleep apnea. Furthermore, since it prevents mouth breathing even when the mouth is open, it can prevent various problems associated with mouth breathing. It can be used by a wide range of ages, from infants with underdeveloped lower jaws who grind their teeth, to adults with teeth clenching, dry mouth, temporomandibular joint disorders, and elderly people at risk of aspiration, and is harmless. Once the discomfort of wearing it is overcome, it promotes restful sleep with light and safe nasal breathing. Other benefits include improved blood flow to the muscles around the mouth, while at the same time creating a slight tension in the lips, which is good for blood flow to the brain. The lips relax and the salivary glands work, so saliva is produced, but the structure prevents saliva from spilling out of the mouth. The base of the tongue is more easily moved forward, so the epiglottis (the lid for swallowing) moves. It is also expected to help prevent silent aspiration pneumonia.

The subject of the invention, the smart teeth clenching splint (100), is an innovative digital health solution developed to detect, analyze, and, when necessary, provide instant behavioral feedback to the user based on individual thresholds, in line with the analysis of data obtained from multiple sensors, involuntary bruxism, i.e., teeth clenching and grinding, which occurs in individuals, especially during sleep at night, by analyzing artificial intelligence algorithms. Instead of the passive mechanical protection offered by the existing classic night guards used today, the smart teeth clenching splint (100) actively detects, records, and analyzes the behavior; thanks to the instant feedback provided to the user, it enables this habit to be noticed and controlled over time. Thus, it contributes to the protection of dental and jaw health and to the prevention of long-term negative effects such as temporomandibular joint disorders, headaches, and tooth wear caused by bruxism.

We provide bite blocks, medical structures for protecting teeth. [Solution] The bite block of the present invention comprises a tooth protection member 11 having a perforation and a sleeve 12 provided on the front side of the tooth protection member and communicating with the perforation, wherein the sleeve communicates with the perforation, allowing for the insertion of an endotracheal tube and entry into the user's oral cavity. When in use, the tooth protection member is positioned between the user's upper and lower jaws and is placed in the user's mouth and bitten, preventing the user's teeth from moving or breaking in the event of a reflexive teeth clenching.
