Abstract

In order to avoid the frontal open bite and the resulting jaw anomalies, the pacifier has a shield plate (1) curved in the ideal shape of the jaw, to which the sucking pin (5) can be rotated or rigidly fixed to a limited extent via a wire coated with synthetic resin or rubber . The bracket (4) is arranged in such a way that it comes to rest in the gap between the deciduous canines and deciduous molars, so that the front teeth lie on top of each other even when the pacifier is worn and can thus grow in the correct overbite.

Description

25th

The invention relates to a pacifier according to the preamble of claim 1.

The well-known pacifier shapes available on the market have one between the handle and the lollipop Shield plate, which rests on the outside of the upper and lower lip when the pacifier is worn Lollipops come to run between the teeth of the upper and lower jaw, which as a result cannot lie on top of each other. D "I this so-called The teeth of the upper and lower jaw cannot grow together "open bite", which leads to deformations can result. The conventional pacifier promotes this so-called open bite.

DE-OS 25 19 327 is a pacifier with a handle, a sucking plug and a handle between and lollipops arranged plate known, the plate with the lollipop via a central Recess leaving the support member is connected by this arrangement, which the plate outside of the oral vestibule rests against the lower and upper lip, the mass of the supporting organ should be reduced and that Unlocking the lower jaw can be avoided, while the construction can also be used as a training device should be. With this pacifier, the carrying organ of which comes to lie dorsal to the incisor teeth, can the "frontally open bite" cannot be completely avoided.

A similar pacifier is known from DE-OS 26 49 290, in which only the central recess of the Support organ includes all front teeth, but the pressure is shifted to the molar area.

The invention is therefore based on the object of creating a pacifier, which the frontally open Excludes bite and the development of normal jaws as well as the growth of normal occlusion conditions promotes

This task is heard by the features in the characterizing part of claim 1.

The curved plate enables the same to be received in the oral vestibule and thus the introduction of the Support organ dorsal to the deciduous canines. The dorsal insertion of the supporting organ and the position of the same between Deciduous canines and deciduous molars result in an optimal closed bite, without the pressure being applied the deciduous molars (molars) is displaced.

Per se it is already known from US-PS 31 87 746 in an orthodontic exercise device that its Shield corresponds to the ideal shape of the jaw and comes to lie within the oral vestibule

However, the sign points between the teeth of the upper and lower jaw on lying Bißstreifen, Jr., so t a sign with "open bite".

In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown as an example.

F i g. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the Schuller according to the invention;

FIG. 2 is a view of the same pacifier of FIG above; and

F i g. 3 shows the pacifier in use.

On a shield plate (atrial plate) 1, which is preferably consists of a plastic and is adapted to the shape of the ideal human jaw is a Handle 2 attached In the two side areas of the shield plate 1, a bracket 4 is attached in holes 3 which can be, for example, a wire covered with synthetic resin or rubber. In the middle of the bracket 4 the sucking pin 5 is pivotable to a limited extent or is suspended rigidly

Like F i g. 3 shows how the pacifier is worn so that the shield plate 1 comes to rest between lips and teeth. The bracket 4 is with respect to its cross-section and its position is designed so that it goes straight into the gaps between the deciduous canines and the adjacent ones Deciduous molars protrudes The teeth of the upper and lower jaw therefore lie on top of one another without any obstacles, and the harmful open bite is avoided. The lollipop is as shown in Fig. 3, on the tongue Z at an angle.

The concept of the invention can be modified in many ways by the person skilled in the art. So can the Create support brackets with different cross-sectional shapes and materials, making sure that the same comes to lie dorsal to the deciduous canines when the pacifier is worn

According to a variant, the support bracket can also be designed as a flat band.
