[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 This device adjusts the balance of the front, back, left, and right of the skull by fitting an adjusting device to the upper and lower dentitions, corrects the posture, corrects the skeletal distortion including the spine, and improves the healthy body. The present invention relates to a skull position adjusting tool for maintaining the above.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a method of correcting the posture, a method of extending the cervical spine by hanging with a suspender applied to the jaw and a method of correcting the posture by corset or taping have been used.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 All of these methods are large-scale, are inconvenient for daily use, and have the drawback that they do not last long.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As a result of pursuing a simple and effective posture correction method that does not have the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present inventor has found that causal factors of biological balance, temporomandibular joint, and tooth engagement are based on the theory that skeletal distortion induces chronic diseases. I found a relationship.

That is, it is possible to adjust the position of the skull with respect to the spine by adjusting the relative positions of the upper and lower teeth and the spine, and as a result, to adjust the bending of the spine and the distortion of the skeleton. Found. Then, as a concrete method for adjusting the relative positions of the upper and lower teeth and the spine, a means for adjusting the relative positions of the upper and lower teeth by covering the upper and lower teeth with an interval adjusting member is effective. It was confirmed experimentally.

The present invention adjusts the position of the skull of the skull with respect to the spine by adjusting the relative positions of the upper and lower teeth, and as a result, the skull position for correcting the bending of the spine and the distortion of the skeleton. The purpose is to provide a trimming tool. Further, the present invention provides an inexpensive skull position adjusting device for correcting the distortion of the skeleton that is convenient to carry around, can be easily worn, and can be used even while sleeping. Is the purpose of.

First, in order to explain the principle of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the cusp of two central incisors (first left and right teeth) Q in the center of the upper jaw and the fifth left and right teeth S The plane connecting the cusps is named the occlusal plane P1. Next, a plane parallel to the ground surface that passes through the upper surface of the joint surface of the second cervical vertebra C is named a reference occlusal plane P0.

It has been statistically confirmed that the occlusal plane P1 coincides with the reference occlusal plane P0 when the human takes the most correct posture. However, in most humans, the occlusal plane P1 is deviated from the reference occlusal plane P0 in the front-back, left-right, and up-down directions due to long-standing habits. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the skull A rotates about the fulcrum D on the first cervical vertebra B as a center and rotates back and forth and left and right. The occlusal force of the lower jaw R works around the fulcrum E on the upper surface of the joint surface of the second cervical vertebra C.

In the example of this figure, the occlusal plane P1 connecting the cusps of the left and right central incisors Q and the left and right fifth teeth S is inclined forward with respect to the reference occlusal plane P0. As a result, the center of the skull A is shifted forward, and its center of gravity G is displaced before the center line Y of the body, which causes unreasonable force on the nape of the neck and causes stiffness of the shoulder. There is. Further, if this state is always maintained, the spine F bends, causing various complications.

In such a case, the position of the upper jaw U 1 may be raised so that the occlusal plane P1 coincides with the reference occlusal plane P0. As a result, the position of the skull A is adjusted, the skeletal distortion and curvature due to the displacement of the skull are corrected, and various diseases caused by the skeleton distortion and curvature can be cured. As a means for aligning the occlusal plane with the reference occlusal plane, the present invention employs a device for adjusting the occlusal position by mounting on the tooth, that is, a skull position adjusting device.

The skull position adjusting device of the present invention comprises an upper jaw adjusting body attached to the upper jaw and a lower jaw adjusting body attached to the lower jaw. The skull position adjusting device of the present invention is basically worn during night sleep, but its form is slightly modified so that it does not interfere with daily life when worn during the day. Next, a specific structure and working effects will be described with reference to Examples.
