Definitions
- the invention relates to a mouthpiece for dental bleaching, for clamping at least in the anterior region, with a curved rail, which is provided above and below each with a collar or bead-shaped Anformung outside, by which both the upper lip and the lower lip are spread apart from each other, the at least upper and lower front teeth are accessible to UV light from the outside, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a mouthpiece of this type is known from DE 10 2006 034 107 A1.
- the mouthpiece design shown therein is chosen so that the front teeth are covered by a curved rail, which is transparent to UV light, that is selected from a UV-transparent material.
- a teeth whitening can easily under a tanning (solarium), or even at the beach
- WO 2006 020128 A1 a kind of mouthpiece for dental bleaching is furthermore known, which has optical focusing elements which irradiate UV light to the tooth surface Bleaching should lead.
- the given shape is considerably uncomfortable to wear.
- WO 99/37231 A1 an arrangement is also known in which a mouthpiece and a UV light source cooperate to thereby bleach the teeth. This device, especially the mouthpiece is uncomfortable to wear and may even hurt. Furthermore, it is not possible to whiten without a separate light source.
- dental bleaching means bleaching or whitening of the teeth, in particular by UV light irradiation.
- the invention is thus based on the object of further developing a mouthpiece which is already advantageous in relation to the first-mentioned prior art such that the mouthpiece furthermore contains means with which the respectively different tooth and gum design can be accommodated.
- the core of the invention here is that in the outwardly facing front portion of the mouthpiece the same is provided with a front teeth exposing oval or rectangular opening, and that different part cover elements can be inserted and fixed in this opening, with which the gum depending on the extension ratio of gum to tooth length uv-protected while the teeth are exposed to UV light.
- the essential further development compared to the cited prior art is that in particular for longer tanning and for more effective whitening of the teeth is taken into account the fact that each person has a different ratio between gum length and tooth length.
- the mouthpiece is first used in this way as a basic element, and then a correspondingly designed part cover element inserted and fixed virtually modular.
- the partial cover element can be clipped in a kind of kit as an interchangeable part in the mouthpiece and thus the entire mouthpiece individually adapted to the ratio of gum length and tooth, so that the gums is protected during the tanning so bleaching in the UV light.
- the mouthpiece and / or the partial cover elements are made of plastic. This can be easily finished.
- the mouthpiece and / or the partial cover element can be made of tempered glass.
- Partial cover elements of different design according to the above requirements of adaptation to gum length and tooth length, while it can be configured as an open ring element.
- the ring element is open to the inside again and releases the teeth to the UV light for bleaching.
- the ring itself can be designed differently thick, so that there is a different effective coverage of the gum. Differently long gum lengths thus also require differently wide ring elements. These represent the modularity of this mouthpiece, and by replacing the ring member a more or less effective tooth length is released while the gums are effectively covered. Thus, the mouthpiece can be adapted to the individual needs with the help of ring elements.
- the partial covering element can also be configured as a closed element, which is otherwise permeable to UV light and has only an annular UV-dense coating at the edge, which extend at different partial cover elements to different degrees towards the center.
- the mouthpiece and the partial cover elements can be produced easily in injection molding or hotmelt casting technology.
- annular partial covering element or the annular partial covering elements and the opening in the mouthpiece have in each case complementary formed undercut and / or clip elements, which allow a fixation of the partial covering elements in the mouthpiece.
- Lens elements for focusing the UV light is integrated on the teeth or are. Thus, the bleaching effect can be further increased.
- a mouthpiece is created for dental bleaching, which can be accommodated by a modular structure different tooth shapes and gum shapes.
- An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawing and described in more detail below.
- the figure shows in the upper part of the image in a front view of the mouthpiece 1, which consists of a base body 2, which is provided at the top and bottom with bead-shaped projections 5, as already known in the mouthpiece according to DE 10 2006 034 107 A1.
- bead-shaped formations are designed so that they spread the lips and thus release the teeth.
- the mouthpiece 1 is clamped in this way in the mouth.
- a bite rail 3 which grips behind the teeth and securely holds the mouthpiece in position, as also shown in DE 10 2006 034 107 A1.
- the rear facing, or in use position behind the teeth arranged rail 3 is UV-tight coated to the rear, so that the pharynx remains shielded from UV light.
- a flat oval opening 4 which then exposes the teeth not shown here, so that they can be irradiated by UV light and thus bleached.
- commercially available pastes can be used to enhance the bleaching effect, in which the teeth can be prepared beforehand with such a paste.
- the partial cover elements 10 according to the invention can then be inserted into said opening 4, which are designed to be annular according to one example and whose ring thickness X decides over the covering area of the gums, or the partial cover elements 10 are closed, otherwise UV light-transmitting elements, which, however, are peripheral are provided with a different extent extended circumferential UV-dense coating in the width X. In the latter case, ie in the materially closed design still UV light-permeable prism elements can be integrated.
- the bleaching pastes can be applied to the inside of the partial cover elements, so that they touch the teeth when you click the partial cover elements in the corresponding mouth of the mouthpiece, or wet with the bleaching paste.
- the partial cover element can thereby pass from a UV light
- Plastic or made of a UV light-permeable toughened glass are made of a UV light-permeable toughened glass.
- the edge zone coverage of different extent can be applied for example by a metallic coating as a UV-dense layer.
- the mouthpiece 1 itself can be used as a basic element, while the partial cover elements 10 are provided with different edge coverage or different ring thickness, whereby the edge coverage is also achieved.
- the opening 4 in the mouthpiece 1 and the outer edge region of the partial cover elements 10 are each provided with a contouring 11, which are complementary to one another, so that the partial cover element can be clipped into the mouthpiece or removed from the same again.
- the outer contouring on the partial covering element for example, is convex, during which the Edge region of the mouth of the mouthpiece is concave.
- the respectively selected partial cover element can be clipped into the mouthpiece.
