By adjusting the posture and the shape of the skull, the position and shape of the skull to maintain a healthy body by treating physical disorders caused by skeletal distortion such as the spine and growth failure of the skull. Regarding the corrector.

[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 bulky, inconvenient to use on a daily basis, 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.

[0006] Furthermore, by identifying that most of the chronic diseases such as indefinite complaints are due to the underdeveloped skull, and by adding the adjusting function for expanding the upper and lower jaw bones to the above-mentioned device for adjusting the interval, the undeveloped skull We experimentally confirmed that it is effective to enlarge the shape and adjust the shape.

The present invention adjusts the position of the skull and skull with respect to the spine by adjusting the relative positions of the upper and lower teeth, and enlarges the underdeveloped skull by enlarging the upper and lower jawbones to modify its shape. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a corrective device for the position and shape of the skull, which is capable of eliminating the physical disability caused by the bending of the spine, the distortion of the skeleton, and the poor growth of the skull. is there.

[0008] Furthermore, the present invention provides a low-cost device for adjusting the position and shape of the skull, which is convenient to carry around, easy to wear, and can be used even during sleep. It is intended.

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 P 0 when an adult human takes the most correct posture. However, in most humans, the occlusal plane P1 is displaced forward, backward, leftward, or rightward or downward with respect to the reference occlusal plane P0 due to long-standing habit. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the skull A rotates back and forth and left and right around a fulcrum D on the first cervical vertebra B. The occlusal force of the lower jaw R works around a fulcrum E 2 on the upper surface of the joint surface of the second cervical vertebra C.

In the example of this drawing, an 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 matching the occlusal plane with the reference occlusal plane, the present invention employs an appliance that is attached to the tooth to adjust the occlusal position. In addition, in order to adjust the shape of the undeveloped skull, the device for adjusting the occlusal position was added with the function of expanding the upper and lower jaw bones in the anteroposterior and lateral directions.

The skull position and shape 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 shape modifying function is a structure in which the upper and lower modifying bodies are divided into several modifying body pieces, and the relative position of each modifying body piece can be adjusted arbitrarily.For the upper jaw according to the shape of the patient's skull. It can be added to either or both of the modifier and the mandibular modifier. A link mechanism or a spiral propulsion mechanism can be used as a mechanism for adjusting the relative position of each trimming piece. By interposing a link mechanism or a spiral propulsion mechanism when connecting each trimming piece and the base, the position of each trimming piece alone or simultaneously with respect to the base can be adjusted. Next, a specific structure and working effects will be described with reference to Examples.
