Description

Tongue muscle function training device

Technical Field

The utility model relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a tongue muscle function trainer.

Background

1. The abnormal function of the tongue muscle is common, which is easy to cause the protrusion, opening and closing, and the underbite of the teeth.

2. Regarding tongue muscle dysfunction.

(1) Swallow by baby

In infancy, the relatively early-developing tongue fills the entire mouth, clinging to the hard palate and the upper and lower lips. Infants rely on the coordination of the tongue, lips, and mandible to swallow. The tongue body is located between the alveolar ridges of the upper and lower jaws when the infant is suckling and is kept in contact with the labial muscles when swallowing, which is typical of infant-type swallowing and is a physiological phenomenon peculiar to the infancy stage.

(2) Normal swallowing

In the infant stage and later, with normal diet, the swallowing pattern changes, and the tongue body retreats and rises during swallowing, and the tip of the tongue is located behind the folds of the hard palate and palate, as shown in fig. 1.

(3) Dysfunction of tongue muscle

The abnormal function of the tongue muscle can cause the continuous retention of the infant swallowing mode, and the tongue body is still positioned between the upper jaw dentition and the lower jaw dentition during swallowing, so that the upper jaw teeth and the lower jaw teeth can not be normally occluded, or the upper lip and the lower lip can not be normally closed, and the inner side and the outer side of the dental arch lose the normal dynamic balance, thereby forming the tooth protrusion, the front tooth opening and closing or the mandible protrusion and the like, as shown in the attached figure 2.

At present, no device and method for correcting bad tongue habits and performing tongue muscle function training exist.

Disclosure of Invention

In order to solve the defects of the prior art, the utility model aims to design a tongue muscle function trainer and simultaneously assist a tongue muscle function training method to help correct tongue muscle dysfunction so as to correct tooth deformity caused by tongue muscle dysfunction.

The technical scheme of the utility model is as follows: the utility model provides a tongue muscle function trainer which comprises a tongue baffle, a palate support and wings which are integrally formed, wherein the two sides of the tongue baffle are symmetrically provided with the wings; the tongue block is of an arch-shaped structure, and a palate support is arranged in the middle above the tongue block close to the front; the palate support is connected with the tongue block through a connecting rod.

Further, the wing includes a left wing and a right wing, and the left wing and the right wing are each a rectangular plate for occlusion of upper teeth and lower teeth.

Furthermore, the arch-shaped structure is an n-shaped piece formed by vertically splicing two semicircular arc-shaped silicon sheets.

Further, the cross section of the palate support is circular, square or oval.

Further, the diameter, the length and the major diameter of the circle, the square or the ellipse are larger than the width of the connecting rod.

Furthermore, the tongue muscle function trainer is made of medical silica gel or elastic resin.

The utility model achieves the following beneficial effects: the training device is convenient to wear, the training device can be directly placed in the mouth, the upper teeth and the lower teeth bite the wings, and then the tongue muscle training can be carried out, the front part of the tongue baffle of the training device can prevent the tongue body from stretching forwards, so that the abnormal stress of the front teeth is avoided, the muscle force balance of the front teeth area is recovered, and the purposes of correcting the protrusion and opening and closing are achieved; the tongue body is guided to return to the normal position (upper palatal support) by assisting the tongue muscle function training.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 3-5, the present invention provides a tongue function trainer, the tongue function trainer is made of silica gel or elastic resin, the tongue function trainer comprises a tongue block 1 and wings 2 which are integrally formed, the wings 2 are symmetrically arranged on two sides of the tongue block 1, and the shape is as shown in fig. 5. The tongue block 1 of the trainer is positioned between the upper and lower teeth in the mouth and the tongue body 4; the trainer wing 2 is positioned between the upper jaw dentition and the lower jaw dentition and is lightly bitten by the upper teeth 5 and the lower teeth 6; the training device palatal support 3 is positioned about 3-4mm behind the palatal fold, and the palatal support 3 is not in contact with the hard palate and is separated by about 5 mm; the tongue baffle 1 is of an arch structure (the arch structure is an n-shaped piece formed by vertically splicing two semicircular arc-shaped silicon sheets, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, when the inner arc of the n-shaped piece is closed with the oral cavity of a human body, the inner side curvature radian of teeth is matched), and the middle part above the tongue baffle 1 is provided with an upper palate support 3 close to the front.

The palate support 3 is integrally connected with the tongue block 1 through a connecting rod 31, the cross section of the palate support 3 is circular, square or oval, and the diameter, length and major diameter of the circular, square or oval are larger than the width of the connecting rod 31. The wings 2 comprise a left wing 21 and a right wing 22, and the left wing 21 and the right wing 22 are rectangular plates for engaging the upper teeth 5 and the lower teeth 6 and are symmetrically arranged on the left side and the right side of the tongue block like wings of an airplane.

The working principle is as follows: 1. the front of the tongue baffle 1 of the training device can prevent the tongue body 4 from extending forwards, thereby avoiding the abnormal stress of anterior teeth and restoring the muscle force balance of the anterior tooth area, thereby achieving the purposes of correcting the anterior process and opening and closing.

2. The upper palate support 3 is arranged at the middle part above the tongue block 1 and close to the front position, so that the tongue body 4 is propped against the lower surface of the upper palate support 3 during swallowing, and the tongue body 4 is guided to return to the normal position (the upper palate support 3 position) by assisting the function training of tongue muscles.

The tongue muscle training method comprises the following steps: after wearing the training device, the upper and lower teeth 6 slightly bite the wing 2 part of the training device, order the patient to push the upper palate support 3 of the training device at the back part of the tongue body 4 near the tongue tip and keep for 5 seconds, and continue the above actions after 5 seconds after relaxation. Every 20 pushing actions are grouped. The training was performed 3 times a day, 5 groups of training each time.
