Description

anti-snoring device

technical field

The utility model belongs to the technical field of orthodontics, in particular to an anti-snoring device.

Background technique

Snoring occurs when a person breathes before the air enters the throat, when the air cannot pass easily through the throat due to the narrowing of the throat. Thus, snoring is a symptom indicative of difficulty breathing during sleep. When a person breathes, air passes through soft body parts such as the palate, uvula, tonsils, and tongue. During the day, the surrounding muscles help maintain these body parts in their original position, allowing the passage of air without obstruction and sound. However, during sleep, these muscles relax and sag, narrowing part of the air passage. As a result, the soft tissue vibrates as air passes through the narrowed air passage, creating the snoring sound.

In extreme cases, air passages may be temporarily blocked due to severe muscle relaxation or high obesity during sleep. At this point, the air is not advancing towards the lungs at all. This condition is called obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. When this condition persists for a long time, since fresh air is not being supplied to the lungs, the brain detects the lack of air and therefore orders the body to wake up and the muscles to contract to reopen the air passages. The patient can then take a deep breath and resume breathing. If this phenomenon occurs repeatedly every night, the patient cannot get more sleep and thus feels tired and very sleepy during the day. This may lead to accidents such as car accidents. Also, when the phenomenon continues for a long time, the burden on the heart or lungs increases so that serious side effects such as hypertension, arrhythmia, and myocardial infarction may occur.

Most of the existing devices used to prevent snoring during sleep use the method of stretching the mandible forward to widen the air passage in the throat, thereby preventing the occurrence of snoring. However, if the mandible cannot be stretched in place or stretched too much At the same time, it not only cannot effectively solve the snoring problem, but also brings discomfort to the human body.

Further, the array of upper hooks is arranged symmetrically on the lower surface of both sides of the upper mouthpiece, and the array of lower hooks is symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of both sides of the lower mouthpiece.

Further, the array has 1-3 columns and 2-8 rows.

Further, the lower hooks are arranged vertically, or arranged obliquely upwards.

Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial technical effects: by setting a stopper on the lower braces, and designing the stopper to be wedge-shaped, the back part of the thicker stopper can effectively prevent the tongue base from falling backward during sleep occur, thereby effectively treating snoring.

Further, the comfort is increased by setting the upper surface of the block to be arched.

Further, the frictional force is increased and the therapeutic effect is improved by providing protrusions on the lower surface of the stopper.

Further, by setting the slide rail, the user can adjust the position of the stopper back and forth according to the requirement, which is more convenient and comfortable to use.

Further, by setting an array of upper hooks protruding downward on the lower surface of the upper brace and an array of lower hooks protruding upward on the upper surface of the lower brace, the upper hook can be engaged with the lower hook, thereby stretching the mandible forward for a certain distance, thereby Keep breathing unobstructed during sleep and effectively treat snoring. And through the hooks set in the array, when the position of the lower jaw is not suitable, just move the lower jaw forward, separate the lower hook from the upper hook, find a suitable position, and hook the upper hook and the lower hook tightly. The device does not need to be taken out and is convenient to use.

Further, by setting the lower hook obliquely upward, it is convenient to disengage from the upper hook.

Detailed ways

Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the utility model is described in further detail.

Referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the utility model comprises an upper brace 5 and a lower brace 1, and the lower brace 1 is provided with a stopper 2 for preventing the back of the tongue root; referring to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the stopper 2 is a wedge-shaped structure, and the stopper 2 The two ends of the block 2 are respectively connected to the inner side of the lower brace 1, the thickness of the front end of the block 2 is smaller than that of the rear end, and the thickness changes evenly; the lower surface of the block 2 is in close contact with the rear of the tongue, and the upper surface is adapted to the palate of the oral cavity. Vaulted structure. The maximum thickness at the rear end of the block 2 is 10-15mm. The lower surface of the block 2 is uniformly provided with protrusions for increasing friction. Both sides of the inner side of the lower brace 1 are respectively provided with slide rails 4, and the slide rail 4 is provided with a draw-in groove 8 for limiting. Limit block 7. Find a suitable position by adjusting the position of the stopper 2 on the slide rail 4, and fix it by the stopper 7. The material of the stopper 2 is elastic medical silica gel.

The lower surface of the upper cover 2 is provided with upper hooks 3 arranged in an array, and the upper hooks 3 protrude downward, and the direction of the hooks is forward; The lower hook 6 protrudes upwards, and the direction of the hook is backward, and can engage with the upper hook 3 . The upper hooks 3 are arranged symmetrically on the lower surface of both sides of the upper brace 5 , and the lower hooks 6 are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the lower brace 1 in an array. The array is 1-3 columns and 2-8 rows. The lower hook 6 is arranged vertically, or arranged obliquely upward.

When in use, first wear the lower braces, and determine the proper position by adjusting the position of the stopper on the slide rail. The lower surface of the stopper can be in close contact with the rear of the tongue without causing discomfort. The upper surface of the stopper It can be in smooth contact with the palate or leave a gap. During sleep, the stopper prevents the back of the tongue from falling back by pushing the back of the tongue, thereby preventing snoring.

When wearing the upper and lower braces at the same time, move the lower jaw forward so that the lower hooks in the upper array of the lower braces are in front of the corresponding upper hooks. After selecting a suitable position, shrink the lower jaw backwards, and the lower hook array is snapped into the upper hook array. , the position is no longer changed, and the lower jaw is stretched forward, so as to ensure smooth breathing during sleep and prevent snoring. When the position is not suitable, just move the lower jaw forward to disengage the lower hook from the upper hook, and then re-select the position. It is not necessary to take the braces out of the mouth, which is convenient to use. Comfortable to use, the wearer can ensure smooth breathing even in deep sleep, eliminating the pain of surgical treatment for snoring. In the process of wearing the device, when it is necessary to speak, move the mandible forward to separate the upper hook from the lower hook, and you can speak without taking out the braces. Questions to be removed from the mouth. The stopper structure of the lower dental brace and the hook structure of the upper dental brace of the utility model can be used separately, and can also be used in conjunction at the same time. Moreover, the utility model has the advantages of simple structure and low cost, which is beneficial to popularization.
