BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION 1 to 4, a first form of oral appliance 10 according to the invention is shown. It is. The above article 10 has a somewhat parabolic shape that roughly matches the shape of a person's jaw and teeth. It includes a tooth base portion 11 which is open in the shape of a U-shape or has a U-shaped plan view. teeth The floor portion 11 has an outer or lip-shaped tail portion 12 along its front edge. There is an inner or tongue-like collar portion 13 along the edge. Brim parts 12 and 1 3 and the tooth base portion 11, upper and lower grooves 15 and 16 for receiving the teeth of the upper and lower jaws. is outlined.

The outer and inner brim portions 12 and 13 are shaped like the upper lip and the upper jaw, respectively. It is shaped to match the tongue of the lower jaw. On the other hand, the center front edge of the article 10 has a brim portion. At the top and bottom of the portion 12, cutouts or V-shaped incisions 14 are made.

As shown in FIG. 2, the article 10 is also provided with upper and lower ridges 17. Sometimes. It is a triangle, as shown more clearly in Figure 12. It has a shaped cross-section and is located centrally on the front edge of the article and extends into a groove 15,16. cormorant 17, the item should be placed in the center of the user's mouth, between the two front teeth of the upper and lower jaws. It is attached to make the

The tooth base portion 11 of the article 10 is located toward the rear edge 20 of the article, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. It is highest at site 19, which is located in the opposite direction but away from the trailing edge, and is used for Most preferably, it tapers toward the center 18 of the leading edge of the article. Above tooth base Minute 11 also includes an asymmetrical or curved surface 21 of the wing on the underside of article 10. From section 19 above to the rear and leading edge of the article to give a generally asymmetrical wing shape. It is most desirable for it to gradually become thinner. The tooth base portion 11 is located near 18 on the front edge. Then, add a thickness of about 1 to 3 mm, with the highest thickness at the part 19 corresponding to the first molar. Approximately 3.5 to 5 mm thick at the rear edge and approximately 2 to 3 mm thick at the trailing edge. It is desirable to have a

As shown more clearly in Figures 5 to 11, the inner and outer The collar portions 12 and 13 have upper and lower grooves 15.1 for receiving the teeth of the upper and lower jaws. The outline of 6 is shown. Also, grooves 15, 16 for the above purpose are provided at the front of the article 10. The width increases from the center 18 of the edge to the rear 20. Also, from Figure 5 11, collar portions 12 and 13 extend from 18 on the front edge of article 10. The height decreases toward 20 at the trailing edge.

The upper part of the tooth base portion 11 is generally flat, while, as mentioned above, the It becomes thicker from 18 at the leading edge until it reaches its maximum at the part shown in Figure 8, and from there it becomes thicker. In addition, the portion shown in FIG. 11 is thinner.

As will be more clearly seen in FIG. 13, the leading edge collar 12 8 and tilted vertically on both sides of the tooth base portion 11. Upper side of tooth bed part 11 The angle of inclination of the collar 12 (marked 2 in Figure 13) is 18 It reaches a maximum at the point 20 (see FIG. 5) and reaches zero at the trailing edge 20 shown in FIG.

The maximum inclination angle is preferably about 7 degrees. Furthermore, the upper and lower parts of the collar 13 are Through the section 24 they are merged into one another at the tooth bed section 11. The radius of the above injection part is The radius becomes smaller and smaller until it reaches the radius shown in Figure 9, and then the curve becomes flat. It increases in size until it becomes an almost vertical line as shown in FIG.

The trailing collar 13 is designed to encircle the user's tongue in its anatomically correct position in the mouth. A backward-facing depression 25 is formed to increase the retention rate of the device in the oral cavity. It generally has a parabolic cross section.

The main surface of the collar 13 is clearly visible in Figure 9.10 as it approaches the trailing edge of the article 10. Although the width of the brim 13 becomes smaller, it remains the same from the front edge to the rear edge of the utensil. Preferably on the radius. On the trailing edge side of the collar 13, the collars are arranged on the same radius. and a depression is formed on its surface.

However, the width of the brim 13 on either side of the tooth base portion 11 becomes smaller and finally The concave curve becomes flat and vertical at the rear edge of the device as shown in Figure 11. The shape changes to a convex curve that becomes a straight line. This is clearly shown in Figures 1 and 2. On the inside tail part 13 that is It has a central tongue-like prevention in the form of a knob 27 made between the gaps 28. ing. The above set of gaps 28 are symmetrically spaced around the center line of the article IO. I'm being kicked. The gap 28 is provided to the opposite side of the article 10 without bending the article 10. Spaced out for the joined arms to perform the important function of moving inward and outward. It is. This allows you to adjust the size of as many different arches as there are people. As a result, the article 10 can be adapted to fit even narrow arches without fundamentally changing its shape. It can also be adapted to wide arches.

Furthermore, the lower side of the knob 27 has a collar 13 to provide a point of contact with the user's tongue. A bulge or protrusion 29 is provided that projects below the adjacent surface of. follow When swallowing saliva or something, the tongue ends up engaging the bulge or protrusion 29. and thereby place it in the correct functional position.

Further, on the inner surface of the collar portion 13 adjacent to the joint point with the tooth base portion 11, there are multiple A jointly formed rib-like extension 30 (shown in FIGS. 2 to 6) is added. ing.

The article 10 thereby conforms to the user's normally shaped teeth. supplies The rib-like extensions 30 added to both the upper and lower sides of the lO are symmetrical to both sides of the product. Each extends somewhat along the grooves 15,16. Figure 16 corresponds to sports equipment. A more advanced example of the article 33 used is shown. This specific example is based on the above specific example. , and therefore the same number of similar parts are used. But above In this case, the thickness of the tooth bed portion 11 is thicker than in the other cases described above. on the other hand , the tooth base portion 11 is generally kept in the shape of a tooth, and a suitable maximum thickness is normally utilized. The dimensions are larger than those mentioned above for the case, from 4 to 6 mm. Change In the above embodiment, the central part of the article is connected to the collar 12 and the tooth base part 11. A hole is drilled, which is an air ventilation hole 34 of the size required for sports equipment. It shows the outline.

Referring to Figure 17, a pacifier for babies and infants according to the invention is shown. A more advanced embodiment of the article 35 for use is shown. Same as for item 33 As in, the same number of parts are used as in the previous example.

The article 35 of the above-described form is provided with an integral handle part 36, This handle portion is usually located at the center of the utensil 35, so that it protrudes outside the mouth. It protrudes outward. If possible, the handle portion 36 should have a shape that is easy to grip. Preferably, it has a large head 37. The handle part 37 is made of hard plastic. It may be made of bulk material. Moreover, as mentioned above, it is integrated with the main body of the article 35. It may be made of or fixed to it in a suitable manner. Supplies of the above shape 35 needs to match the size of the baby's mouth, so please refer to Figures 1 to 15. It will be clear that the dimensions are considerably smaller than the article described in connection with. deer However, as with other types of supplies, this product is intended for use over a range of sizes. They may be made in different sizes to suit your needs.

18 to 22, in accordance with the present invention, orthodontic treatment, particularly for the facial area of children, is shown. Another form of article 40 is shown, suitable for positive and orthopedic correction. Supplies 4 0 shows the article 10 shown in FIGS. A number of tooth base portions 4'1 and outer tail portions 43 and 42 respectively. They share the same characteristics. The tooth base portion 41 is shaped like an arch in the mouth of an average child. As you can see, when viewed from above, it has a parabolic shape. Preferably, the above supplies is manufactured in two sizes to fit children ages 2 to 5 and ages 6 to 11. desirable. Preferably, the tooth base portions 41 of the Z size product should each have 3 It is desirable to have lengths of 0 mm and 40 mm. The 40mm long one is newly grown. It needs to be that long to accommodate the growing molars. tooth bed part 41 The thickest part should preferably be 2.3 mm thicker than the thickness of the front and rear parts of the tooth base part 41. Thick is desirable.

The outer flange portion 42 has inner flange portions 42 adjacent to both upper and lower sides of the tooth base portion 41. Ribs 44 are attached to the upper and lower surfaces, respectively. It is said that it is separated from the tooth base part 41. It is located on the roller, and on the inside, towards the opposite collar part 43, almost with the tooth base part 41. extending in parallel. The ribs 44 are provided between the upper and lower front teeth in order to improve the alignment of the teeth. It is placed in a position where it touches a chibi-shaped surface.

The outer tail portion 42 also has many outward facing projections 4 on its outer lower half. 5 is given. They are used near the surface of the chin muscles. acts as a bumper to prevent contraction of The above muscles are used for malocclusion of the lower front teeth. It is related to The outer brim is thicker and made of flexible material, so It fits the size of most people's mouths and teeth, and has sufficient tension required for teeth straightening. It has been prepared.

Similar to the conventional inner collar portion, the inner collar portion 43 has a cross-section approximately extending toward the distal end. The curve becomes parabolic as the curve increases, but the plane and sides are complex. It has a shape. The upper middle part of the inner brim part has a traditional place.

Like the case, a knob 46 is attached. It is thicker than the adjacent portion of the collar portion 43. It has a rough texture and protrudes towards the tongue, which irritates the tongue and This guides the tongue to the correct position. As with conventional supplies, the notches on both sides of knob 46 The recessed portion 47 not only outlines the knob 46 but also allows the utensil 40 to It adapts to a wide variety of oral arch shapes and tooth sizes without causing distortion, and therefore This allows it to become a complete product.

The above structure is provided only in the upper part of the article 40 (I,).

On the underside of the structure, a double convex curvature is added to the inner tail surface, resulting in As a result, it hits the tooth and exerts a force pushing it forward onto the tooth, pushing it further forward. I will put it there. The above force also applies to the inside of the outer collar 42 in the opposite direction. The ribs 44 projecting onto the surface are also affected. fixed by this force I used the above items without having to use any custom made items, whether they are attached or removable. It is possible to correct the alignment of teeth. When using for children before school age, add the handle part to item 40. Minutes 48 (see Figure 20) may also be added. This makes it easy to put on and take off the supplies in the oral cavity. This is for the purpose of

Regarding Figure 21, in particular, the dimensions of A1B5C5D for items for pre-school children are They are 8, 6, and 8.8 mm from the center of the item, respectively.
