Description

One treats the appliance of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and sleep odontorisis
Technical field
The present invention relates to the appliance worn night, be used for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.Specifically, disclosed technology relates to a kind of appliance, can reorientate lower jaw forward, pushes away forward tongue (mandible go forward).
 
Background technology
Triformed sleep apnea: central (CSA), obstructive (OSA), complicated or mixed sleep apnea (i.e. the combination of maincenter and obstruction), accounts for 0.4%, 84% and 15% respectively in case history.In CSA, it is because respiratory effort lacks that breathing is interrupted, in OSA, even if it is because there is respiratory effort that breathing is interrupted, but existence rationality airflow obstruction, normally owing to snoring.See OSA now, have obstructive sleep apnea more than 1,200 ten thousand U.S. adults.This is a kind of obstacle, occurs breathing repeatedly, but interrupt tout court in sleep.When the muscle at throat rear cannot keep respiratory passage unblocked, cause dyspnea, obstructive sleep apnea will occur.In Overweight people, this phenomenon is more general, but also can occur general population.Such as obstructive sleep apnea occurs some child is because the tonsil in throat expands.Those are suffered to the people of OSA, their respiratory tract subsides when sleeping or blocks.Can shallow breathing be caused like this, or asphyxia, thus cause bitty sleep and low blood oxygen level.OSA is usually again with snoring, and this is called as epithelium healing distress syndrome (UARS), and may can be again that the body illnesses such as, long soft palate narrow by deviation of nasal septum, large concha nasalis, palate cause.This situation process is the same with OSA, and Diagnosis and Treat is also similar.Sleep odontorisis is another kind of sleep disorder, occurs in Most patients with OSA simultaneously.Grinding one's teeth in sleep is lower jaw effectively left and right, front and back or be engaged up and down and unclamp, and this situation is considered to betide all age group.
The sleep apnea patient of some obstructive or other types may by operative treatment.The type of operation depends on the reason of sleep apnea.The example of common treatment sleep apnea operation comprises removes tonsil and proventriculus type, if these organ clogs airways.In the case of child, this method is particularly useful.In the non-response case of advanced person, mandible is broken and extends, and shifts out throat region by before tongue.The another kind of operation needs hole that placement one is little in trachea and pipeline, ensure that air flow energy enters pulmonary by pipeline.This is applicable to the serious case of sleep apnea.In other cases, uvula (at the tissue that throat postmedian is sagging), and may be removed at throat rear portion jaw portion tissue.
The method of another kind of common treatment sleep disordered breathing, do not need Minimally Invasive Surgery, be called as Continuous positive airway pressure ventilation (CPAP), in this case, patient wears a kind of special face shield when sleeping, and covers (or inserting nostril) on nose and mouth.Face shield is by increasing the respiratory passage unblocked breathed air pressure and keep wearer.Such face shield covers most region of face and head, normally uncomfortable, and may leak, and comes off, thus reduces effectiveness.This method can not treat sleep odontorisis.
Further illustrate, the device based on prior art has been designed to treat obstructive sleep apnea.U.S. Patent number 5427117, is issued by Thornton etc., discloses a kind of oral-cavity device, and it comprises adjustable upper lower arch dens supporter.It has arch with adjustable rod and lower arch, and adjustable rod extends out from arch and is connected to lower arch, thus the lower jaw of user is extended forward relative to the upper jaw.Bar is in those references designed in conjunction with lower arch, thus ensures that the mouth of user can not open in use and exceed predetermined amount.
Also have a kind of other device described in No. 5829441st, United States Patent (USP), a kind of lower jaw issued by Kidd etc. extends oral-cavity device, and it comprises adjustable upper lower arch dens supporter.Each upper lower arch dens supporter has the dens supporter body of the U-shaped of an attachment and upper lower tooth, and when device closes according to user oral cavity, the individuality extension situation of lower jaw adjusts.Upper and lower dens supporter suits mutually with the pendency hook being positioned at device front portion.
