TESTO DELLA DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION TEXT

La presente domanda di brevetto per invenzione industriale ha per oggetto un apparecchio orale universale. Nella fattispecie, trattasi di un apparecchio orale, prodotto in serie, destinato ad essere indossato in bocca da un utente durante lo svolgimento di esercizi volti a tonificare i muscoli del viso e, al contempo, ridurre i segni dell?invecchiamento. The present patent application for an industrial invention relates to a universal oral appliance. In this case, it is a mass-produced oral appliance intended to be worn in the mouth by a user while performing exercises aimed at toning the muscles of the face and, at the same time, reducing the signs of ageing.

Sono noti apparecchi ottenuti da uno stampo in gesso della bocca del paziente, realizzato a partire da un'impronta dell?arcata dentale inferiore del paziente medesimo. Partendo da tale impronta, infatti, ? possibile realizzare uno stampo in gesso rappresentante un duplicato esatto della mascella inferiore del paziente. Simili apparecchi sono destinati ad un uso temporaneo per alleviare il dolore provato dal paziente a causa di mascelle disallineate legate ad un?errata inclinazione dei denti. Ovviamente, l?impiego di simili apparecchi, conformati ?ad hoc? per ogni singolo paziente, implica procedure di produzione elaborate e complesse, nonch? tempi lunghi. Appliances are known which are obtained from a plaster mold of the patient's mouth, made starting from an impression of the lower dental arch of the patient. Starting from this imprint, in fact, ? It is possible to make a plaster mold representing an exact duplicate of the patient's lower jaw. Similar appliances are intended for temporary use to relieve the pain experienced by the patient due to misaligned jaws linked to incorrect inclination of the teeth. Obviously, the use of similar devices, shaped ?ad hoc? for each individual patient, involves elaborate and complex manufacturing procedures, as well as? long times.

Scopo della presente invenzione ? quello di ideare un apparecchio orale universale per ridurre l'invecchiamento del viso che possa essere prodotto in serie su base industriale, ovviando, cos?, alla necessit? di una realizzazione personalizzata dell?apparecchio in base alla particolare conformazione della bocca del paziente. Purpose of the present invention? that of devising a universal oral appliance to reduce facial aging that can be mass-produced on an industrial basis, thus obviating the need for of a customized construction of the appliance based on the particular shape of the patient's mouth.

Questi scopi sono raggiunti in accordo all?invenzione con le caratteristiche delle annesse rivendicazioni indipendenti. These aims are achieved in accordance with the invention with the characteristics of the annexed independent claims.

Realizzazioni vantaggiose dell?invenzione appaiono dalle rivendicazioni dipendenti. Advantageous embodiments of the invention appear from the dependent claims.

L?apparecchio orale secondo l?invenzione ? un apparecchio orale universale, prodotto in serie, atto ad essere impiegato per ridurre l'invecchiamento del viso di un paziente. Tale apparecchio comprende un corpo unico conformato in modo tale da aderire, quando in uso, con l?arcata dentale superiore e con l?arcata dentale inferiore del paziente, in modo da essere trattenuto tra le due arcate dentali per opporre resistenza al movimento di chiusura della bocca dell?utente. In particolare, il corpo di tale apparecchio orale ? realizzato in un sol pezzo in un materiale elastomerico avente un punto di rammollimento pari a 35 - 100 ?C. The oral appliance according to the invention ? a universal, mass-produced oral appliance adapted to be used to reduce facial aging of a patient. This appliance comprises a single body shaped in such a way as to adhere, when in use, with the upper dental arch and with the lower dental arch of the patient, so as to be held between the two dental arches to oppose resistance to the closing movement of the user?s mouth. In particular, the body of this oral appliance ? made in one piece in an elastomeric material having a softening point of 35 - 100°C.

Ulteriori caratteristiche dell?invenzione appariranno pi? chiare dalla descrizione dettagliata che segue, riferita a una sua forma di realizzazione puramente esemplificativa e quindi non limitativa, illustrata nel disegno annesso, in cui: Additional characteristics of the invention will appear more? clear from the detailed description that follows, referring to a purely exemplifying and therefore non-limiting embodiment thereof, illustrated in the attached drawing, in which:

la Fig. 1 ? una vista in pianta dall?alto dell?apparecchio orale secondo l?invenzione; Fig. 1 ? a top plan view of the oral appliance according to the invention;

La Fig. 2 ? una vista in pianta dal basso dell?apparecchio orale di Fig. 1. Fig. 2 ? a bottom plan view of the oral appliance in Fig. 1.

Con riferimento alle Figg. 1 e 2, viene descritto un apparecchio orale secondo l?invenzione, indicato complessivamente con il numero di riferimento (1). With reference to Figs. 1 and 2, an oral appliance according to the invention is described, indicated as a whole with the reference number (1).

Tale apparecchio orale (1) comprende un corpo (2) unico conformato in modo tale da aderire, quando in uso, con l?arcata dentale superiore e con l?arcata dentale inferiore dell?utente, in modo da essere trattenuto tra le due arcate dentali per opporre resistenza al movimento di chiusura della bocca dell?utente. This oral appliance (1) comprises a single body (2) shaped in such a way as to adhere, when in use, with the upper dental arch and with the lower dental arch of the user, so as to be held between the two arches teeth to resist the closing movement of the user?s mouth.

Tale corpo (2) ? realizzato in un sol pezzo in un materiale elastomerico avente un punto di rammollimento pari a 35 - 100 ?C ed avente, inoltre, capacit? di auto-modellamento a caldo e di conservare, nel tempo, la propria conformazione. This body (2) ? made in one piece in an elastomeric material having a softening point equal to 35 - 100 ?C and having, moreover, capacity? of hot self-modeling and to preserve its conformation over time.

Tale corpo (2) presenta, in pianta, una forma ad ?U? e comprende: This body (2) has, in plan view, a ?U? and includes:

- una piastra (20), avente conformazione ad ?U?, comprendente una superficie superiore ed una superficie inferiore che si sviluppano lungo traiettorie curvilinee conformi, rispettivamente, allo sviluppo dell?arcata superiore ed inferiore del paziente; e - a plate (20), having a ?U? shape, comprising an upper surface and a lower surface which develop along curvilinear trajectories conforming, respectively, to the development of the patient?s upper and lower arches; And

- una sponda laterale (21), aggettante perimetralmente dalla superficie superiore di detta piastra (20) ed in corrispondenza del suo bordo convesso, destinata a circoscrivere esternamente la dentatura dell?arcata superiore con il fine di evitare uno spostamento dell?apparecchio orale (1) entro la bocca del paziente. - a lateral edge (21), protruding perimetrically from the upper surface of said plate (20) and in correspondence with its convex edge, intended to externally circumscribe the teeth of the upper arch with the aim of avoiding movement of the oral appliance (1 ) within the patient's mouth.

In particolare, detta sponda laterale (21) ? conformata in maniera tale da aumentare la larghezza del corpo (2), cos? da migliorare l?attivit? muscolare del paziente. In particular, said side wall (21) ? shaped in such a way as to increase the width of the body (2), cos? to improve the? activity? muscle of the patient.

Prima di essere indossato da un paziente, l?apparecchio orale (1) deve essere riscaldato, ad esempio attraverso immersione in acqua bollente, al fine di essere reso modellabile. Una volta inserito nella cavit? orale del paziente e adattato alle relative arcate dentali, deve essere esercitata una pressione affinch? l?apparecchio si auto-modelli, nel senso che la sua piastra (20) mutui, superiormente ed inferiormente, l?esatta impronta delle due arcate dentali. A questo punto, l?apparecchio orale (1) pu? essere rimosso e lasciato raffreddare, affinch? detta avvenuto auto-modellamento si stabilizzi permanentemente. Before being worn by a patient, the oral appliance (1) must be heated, for example by immersion in boiling water, in order to make it mouldable. Once inserted into the cavity? mouth of the patient and adapted to the relative dental arches, pressure must be exerted so that? the appliance self-models itself, in the sense that its plate (20) borrows, superiorly and inferiorly, the exact imprint of the two dental arches. At this point, the oral appliance (1) can? be removed and left to cool, so that? said occurred self-modeling stabilizes permanently.

Si precisa che detta operazione di auto-modellamento potr? essere ripetuta con le stesse modalit? nel caso in cui intervenga un?alterazione traumatica o terapeutica delle arcate dentali. It should be noted that this self-modelling operation may be repeated in the same way? in the event that a traumatic or therapeutic alteration of the dental arches occurs.

Alla presente forma di realizzazione dell'invenzione, possono essere apportate variazioni e modifiche equivalenti, alla portata di un tecnico del ramo, che rientrano comunque entro l'ambito dell'invenzione espresso dalle rivendicazioni annesse. To the present embodiment of the invention, equivalent variations and modifications can be made, within the reach of a person skilled in the art, which in any case fall within the scope of the invention expressed by the appended claims.
