Description

Nasal breathing apparatus and manufacturing method

The present invention relates to a comsumer apparatus and a method for manufacturing the same, in which a tongue or the like touches the palate during sleep by sticking the position of the tongue in the oral cavity to a concave portion of the palate to both people who need to form the tongue or not. The present invention relates to a cosum device and a method for manufacturing the same, which maintains normal nasal breathing during sleep.

Breathing is the most important thing for human life. If you stop breathing for 4 minutes, your life stops.

In oriental medicine, there is a saying that Cheonggi and Gogi come into our bodies and become refreshed. If we correlate with aerobic respiration in the mitochondria in our cells,

Oriental Medicine: Cheonggi + Songgi ---------> Energy

Mitochondria: 6 O _{2 (oxygen)} + C ₆ H ₁₂ O ₆ (glucose) = 6 CO ₂ + 6 H ₂ O + 1 ATP

Here, it can be seen that there is an interrelationship if you look at the perforated oxygen, the perforated glucose, and the original ATP. Celestial oxygen enters the nose and the grains enter the mouth.

Observing people breathing can be roughly divided into those who breathe through their noses and those who breathe through their mouths.

Nose breathing: breathing through the nose, which primarily filters dust from the nose, absorbs bacteria from the nasal mucosa, becomes a snot, and whirls the maxillary sinus to 75%, warms to body temperature, and cleansed air is supplied to the lungs through the airways .

Breathing: External air that is not purified by breathing through the mouth is supplied directly to the lungs through the airways.

There is a huge difference between nose breathing and breathing. Purified air? Is the air unpurified? In fact, breathing is about 20% less blood oxygen than nasal breathing.

The human brain is only about 2% of the body weight, but it uses about 20% of the oxygen that enters the body. Therefore, if you breathe, the oxygen supply to the brain due to lack of oxygen in the blood comes to the various symptoms that can occur.

In particular, the snoring is a loose palate (relatively lighter back part of the palate) and palate (swelling in the shape of the neck and oral palate), passing through a narrowed airway due to various causes of respiratory airflow during sleep. Respiratory noise caused by vibrations in the surrounding structures of the back. In addition, sleep apnea is a frequent occurrence of respiratory arrest during sleep, causing sleep disorders such as severe snoring and daytime drowsiness. Hypoxia caused by sleep apnea can also lead to a variety of cardiovascular complications.

Currently, many studies on the development of snoring and sleep apnea have been conducted, and various studies have been reported. Figure 1 shows one of the causes of snoring and sleep apnea. As shown in FIG. 1, most of the snoring and sleep apnea patients have anatomical abnormalities in which the root portion of the tongue 3 is pushed toward the airway 2 with the soft palate, so that the tongue root portion is the airway (2). It is known that this is because it blocks a part of). Therefore, the conventional apparatus for preventing snoring also focuses on advancing the mandible forward so that the tongue root does not block the airway 2. However, advancing the mandible forward has a problem of inferiority with the maxilla, but rather a decrease in mastication ability, or in severe cases, an abnormality in appearance, resulting in many physical abnormalities due to mismatch (abnormal occlusion). In particular, obesity and sleep apnea may appear due to narrowing of the air space and narrowing of the airways even when fat is accumulated in the neck area or tissues such as the tongue and tonsils are enlarged due to obesity. Many people also experience these symptoms in people with abnormally small jaws, short necks and thick necks. Snoring and sleep apnea also occur when the function of the muscles around the second pharynx causes problems with the pharyngeal airway dilatation, which is unable to withstand the intracranial sound pressure caused by the diaphragm. The biggest causes of snoring and sleep apnea in children are tonsil hypertrophy and adenoid hypertrophy.

Treatment methods can be largely divided into non-surgical methods and surgical methods.

Non-surgical treatments include sleeping sideways, reducing risk factors such as weight loss, abstinence, and quitting smoking, medication, oral devices to prevent the tongue from sagging behind the neck, and maintaining positive pressure continuously. Supply to the airways to prevent collapse of soft tissues in the pharynx.

Surgical treatment depends on the site of snoring: nasal surgery (correction of nasal septum and inferior nasal palate thickening), pharyngeal surgery (oral pharyngeal plastic surgery to remove the tonsils and oropharyngeal mucosa) Surgery), lingual reduction surgery, head and neck skeletal surgery (stemectomy and hyoid bone resection, bilateral maxillary advancement).

If symptoms remain uncontrolled and prolonged apnea can lead to arrhythmia, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, left ventricular failure, and lung disease (pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary heart, respiratory failure). In addition, there are reports that snoring may worsen or cause diabetes or glaucoma, and sex-related problems such as erectile dysfunction may also occur.

Various methods have been introduced for the treatment of snoring and sleep apnea, which are largely divided into medical treatment, surgical treatment, continuous use of positive pressure supply device, and oral device. Among them, the research on the treatment method by the oral device which is easy to wear, the treatment process is not painful, the side effects and the aftereffects are low, and the cost is low, has been actively conducted.

Among these, the snoring correction tool proposed by Korean Registered Utility Model Publication No. 334851 has airway enlargement means that can open the jaw joint by contacting the upper and lower molars, and widen the airway by expanding the oral cavity. A corrector body; Equipped with a separation prevention means for preventing the body of the orthodontic deviate from the molars, the airway is widened by the opening of the jaw joint and swelling of the oral cavity to induce a natural flow of air sucked in during sleep Although there is an effect that can be prevented in advance, there is a high possibility that the snoring corrector will escape from the upper and lower molar teeth when sleeping, and also prevent the narrowing of the airways and the lower jaw by narrowing the airways. There is no problem that can not prevent enough snoring.

In addition, the snoring and apnea prevention device proposed by Korean Registered Utility Model Publication No. 226262 is made of soft synthetic resin or rubber that is harmless to the human body, and the stepped connecting rod which is formed integrally with the mouth seal composed of the tongue insert at the front and the mouth seal as described above. The eyepiece plate coupled to the stepped connector by the coupling holes that can be inserted at regular intervals, and the through-hole and directional invasion member for supplying air and moisture for breathing are installed, and are coupled to the stepped connector by the coupling hole. It consists of a mask plate to be worn with a strap, which prevents narrowing of the mouth by preventing the movement of the tongue by the mouthpiece and eyepiece, which can alleviate the snoring, but in the case of the patient whose tongue is subsided Not only does it have an effect, but there is a problem that the wearability is remarkably bad.

And snoring relief proposed in the Republic of Korea Utility Model No. 353431 is a known combination of the upper teeth seating portion for seating the upper teeth, and the lower teeth seating portion for seating the lower teeth, the lower teeth seating position located in front of the upper teeth seating It includes a tongue seating chamber, which is coupled between the upper and lower teeth seating portion and the lower teeth seating portion, and receives and seats the front of the tongue, and moves the lower jaw and the tongue forward to secure a wide space for access to the intraoral airway. Although there is an effect that can be alleviated, by fixing both the upper and lower teeth seating there is a problem that the mouth is not free to move and the wearing feeling is significantly reduced.

In addition, the snoring prevention oral device proposed in the Republic of Korea Patent No. 12242 has an upper member having a tooth receiving groove opened upward to accommodate at least a portion of the upper teeth of the wearer, and the lower front teeth of the wearer extending downward from the upper member It is composed of an inclined member having an inclined surface that is coupled to at least some of it, and when the mouth is closed, the mandible is moved forward by the inclined surface, thereby providing a larger open rear air passage, thereby alleviating and preventing snoring. However, since both the upper member and the inclined member are made of hard methyl methacrylate, it not only reduces tooth damage and fit, but also prevents the mandible from moving forward when the mouth is opened while sleeping. have. In addition, when the mandible is moved more than 3 mm, there is a problem that the chewing is difficult to occlude after removing the device due to excessive movement.

Alternatively, a device for detecting snoring to drive a pillow for preventing snoring (Korean Patent Publication No. 2001-44513) or a pillow for preventing snoring (Korean Patent Publication No. 2010-124613) or snoring or breathing during sleep Although a number of patent data such as prevention and treatment of disorders (Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2006-13410) have been published, they are still not satisfactory in terms of convenience and effectiveness in use.

On the other hand, as a dentist, the inventor of the present invention in 1994, when children are treated with teeth, they are not cooperative and crying badly (Why crying: If you have a rhinitis, you breathe into your mouth. The water comes out of the machine during dental treatment. Although children can tolerate water when they come into their mouths, they have to breathe through their mouths, so they can't swallow water and feel the fear of drowning. I recommended that the medication would improve rhinitis, but if I stopped taking the medicine, my runny nose would flow again and I couldn't continue to take the medicine, and I could see that the children usually had a short tongue. Children with short tongues suffered from rhinitis, had no tooth decay or gum disease, had bad breath, had snores, and had frequent nosebleeds. I had done phacoplasty of these children (the first time I tried phacoplasty for the treatment of snoring, bad breath, rhinitis, etc.), but this is not known as a snoring treatment method. The teeth disappeared, the nosebleeds disappeared and the smell of the mouth disappeared. However, I discovered a problem with this lingual plasty, and the resected lingual plaque is re-adhesive. The present inventors also performed lingual plastic surgery directly while looking in the mirror, but the phenomenon of adhesion again occurred several times, and the lingual bed was completely removed, but it was not easy to perform the procedure several times on patients, so the procedure was limited due to the limitation of lingual plastic surgery. I became interested in the tongue during lingual plastic surgery.

The study focused on where the tongue should be in the oral cavity.

1. The inventors experienced the phenomenon of tongue sticking to the concave part of the palate in the anesthesia state immediately when the endoscopic plastic surgery was performed directly, and it was confirmed in patients who received more than 300 lingual plastic surgery.

2. The inventors of the present inventors, who had been practicing their training, began to sit with their tongue tip on the maxillary anterior palatal gum (palatus) when they left a gyrus, and the tongue was raised and stuck to the palate.

3. According to personal research on the yin and yang of the human body, it is normal that the palate is the yin, the tongue is the yang, the tongue is the negative area of the mouth and the mouth is the yin and yang of the palate and the tongue. If is attached, the tongue will not stick to the palate. Here, the yin and yang of the human body can be confirmed by a battery and an applied kinesiology test.

4. If you stick your tongue to your palate, shut your mouth and breathe through your nose, you will have double breathing. If you take your tongue out of your palate, shut your mouth and breathe through your nose, anyone can experience breathing.

Based on the above four reasons, the normal position of the mouth of the tongue was found to be stuck to the palate at all times when the mouth is closed except when talking or eating something.

I thought about what role the tongue would play in the oral cavity, and when the tongue stuck to the palate, it was better to breathe through the nose, because when the tongue stuck to the palate, the airway widened. According to a recent study by the Seoul Sleep Center research team, the main cause of severe snoring was not narrowing of the throat but narrowing of the tongue rooting airway (2012.10.15.YTN News). It is common knowledge that when the tongue falls from the palate, the tongue root sags and narrows part of the airway. When the tongue sticks to the palate, it opens with the tongue rooting airway pulled up with the tongue. Recently, a woman patient had been treated with phacoplasty, and she was told that food flowed very well, as her airway was widened, her nose breathed, and her throat was widened.

The oral cavity is the space where the tongue moves, which is formed by the upper and lower teeth. If this space is lacking, the tongue will fall off the palate and open your mouth to breathe through your mouth. What role does the tongue play in this space? When chewing food, the upper and lower teeth only crush food and do not touch each other. The upper and lower teeth should not touch each other, even during normal or sleeping. When the upper and lower teeth are in contact with each other, the teeth wear out and become hair. This is not only a symptom of a bad tooth, but it's also a neat hearing. What can be done to keep the upper and lower teeth worn out? I thought about it. Immediately I learned that the tongue was the answer. How can the tongue prevent tooth wear? It's so easy that it's just a normal position where the tongue should be, ie the tongue sticks tightly to the palate. When the tongue sticks to the palate, the upper and lower teeth stay away without touching.

The tongue serves as a vertical stopper between the upper and lower jaws. The upper and lower teeth have a tendency to keep rising if they do not touch each other for life. Therefore, if your tongue acts as a stopper, it will keep your tongue moving, even if your teeth wear out. In conclusion, if the tongue is attached to the palate, it is natural to breathe through the nose and the teeth will not reach, but rather, the teeth may be raised to increase the space for the tongue to move. Previously, the limitation of phacoplasty was that the platoon was reattached, but there was another problem, which caused the tongue to go up to the palate through phacoplasty, but the tongue fell again from the palate due to lack of space for the tongue to move. Although the tongue stuck to the palate through the formation of the tongue, the nasal breathing improved, but it was not possible to intentionally stick the tongue to the palate during sleep, especially at night. In fact, nighttime nasal breathing is more important than daytime. Because sleep is a time for the body to relieve and recover all the fatigue accumulated during the day to normalize the body. If you compare nasal breathing and mouth breathing, you can see how hard it is for people who are snoring. Nasal breathing is a method that the brain recovers and normalizes the human body by supplying high-quality oxygen with minimal energy. can do. If your nasal breathing is not natural while you sleep, you will have an energy-intensive breathing session and your body will not be able to recover. On the other hand, if the tongue is normal, but dental diseases, teething, this evil is a habit, and if the nose is difficult to breathe due to the lack of oral space where the tongue can move due to the wear and tear of the teeth gradually with age, you can only use the nose breath device without lingual plastic surgery.

Most conventional snoring devices in the oral cavity move the lower jaw to the charge chamber to secure the space of the tongue, while forcing the airway space by pulling the lower part of the tongue forward. However, using the upper and lower teeth to move the lower jaw forward the thickness of the device is more than 5㎜ can impair the jaw joints, mastication muscles and ligaments.

Therefore, the present inventors have devised a comsumer device that sticks the tongue to the palate, which overcomes the limitations of lingual grandplasty and its limitations.

The idea that I had invented was a plastic surgery, but my second son, who still had rhinitis and bruising at night, had a sore back so he could wear a biocorrector function correction device. I heard that back pain improves, rhinitis improves, and my tongue sticks to my palate.

The conclusion is that if the breathing problem is short, if the lingual plaque is short, perform phacoplasty and attach the nose breath device.If the lingual bed is normal and the oral cavity is narrowed due to the wear of the dental diseases or upper and lower teeth, the breathing space is narrowed. By sticking the tongue to the palate, if the upper and lower teeth do not touch each other and naturally breathe through the nose, the snoring and sleep apnea can be alleviated or prevented, and the symptoms caused by breathing through the mouth, namely, lice, bad breath, I think it can help natural healing of chronic rhinitis, sinusitis and other symptoms.

One object of the present invention is to provide a nasal breathing apparatus by removing the snoring and sleep apnea relief by putting a device under the tongue in the oral cavity to stick the tongue to the palate naturally to normal nasal breathing during sleep.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a comsum device.

Comsum device according to the present invention, the tongue tongue pushing up the tongue, extending downward from the edge of the tongue surface, the upper teeth in contact with the upper teeth; A palatal fold surface extending rearward from the upper tooth contact surface and contacting the palatal folds of the palate, extending downward from the palatal fold surface, and inclined to the lower tooth; And an oral bottom extending rearward from the edge of the lower incidence contacting the oral cavity, and is inserted between the sublingual and the oral cavity and is configured to support the tongue by sticking the tongue to the recess of the palate.

It is preferable that an interdental surface is further formed between the upper and lower contact surfaces.

Preferably, the interdental surface is further provided with a tooth surface covering that protrudes laterally from the interdental surface and covers all or some teeth.

It is preferable that the tooth covered by the tooth surface covering be a premolar and a molar.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Cosum device (11) according to the present invention, the lower tongue 12 to push up the tongue, extending downward from the edge of the tongue 12, the upper tooth contact surface 13 inscribed in the upper teeth; A lower palate surface 15 extending rearward from the upper tooth contact surface 13 and extending downwardly from the palate surface 14 in contact with the palatal folds of the palate; And a bottom of the mouth 16 extending rearward from the edge of the lower contact surface 15 to reach the bottom of the mouth. The mouth is inserted between the bottom of the tongue and the bottom of the mouth so that the tongue sticks to the recessed part of the palate. And configured to support.

As shown in FIG. 2, the comsumm device 11 according to the present invention has an upper surface contact surface 13 and a lower surface contact surface 15 so as to be inserted into the oral cavity, and has a shape narrowing toward the rear end. As shown in FIG. 3, the front face at which the upper and lower contact surfaces 13 and the lower contact surface 15 are positioned is high, and has a shape that decreases toward the rear from these front surfaces, and the upper contact surface 13 is formed of the teeth of the maxilla. The surface in contact with the inner surface, the palatal fold surface 14 means the palate, that is, the surface supporting the palate, and the lower surface contact 15 means the surface in contact with the inner surface of the lower teeth. The inclined surface downward toward the rear from the upper edge of the upper tooth contact surface (13) serves to substantially support the tongue as the lower surface of the tongue (12), so that the tongue is pushed toward the palate to maintain the state in which the tongue touches the palate. An oral bottom 16 extending rearward from the bottom edge of the lower contact surface 15 is positioned on the oral bottom. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the comsumm apparatus 11 according to the present invention has a configuration as described above, and is inserted between the tongue and the oral cavity in the state where the tongue is lifted up, and the tongue is pushed toward the palate and the tongue is palate. By keeping it in contact with the tongue, the tongue is constantly in contact with the palate during sleep, keeping the airways wide and naturally allowing for normal nasal breathing.

An interdental surface 17 is further formed between the upper and lower contact surfaces 13 and the lower contact surface 15 of the cosum device 11 to space between the upper and lower teeth of the wearer when the comsumer device 11 according to the present invention is worn. Promote tooth growth.

In the case of the wearer having a natural tooth, it is preferable not to form the tooth cover plate 18, and the tooth is moved by not covering the occlusal surface, and the tooth is raised to some extent so that the occlusal change can occur. Even if you remove the snore, you may not have to wear a snore to make your mouth move wider. It is known that the height of the lower teeth affects cervical spine No. 1, which affects posture and improves back pain. On the other hand, in the case of a wearer who has a prosthesis or does not want to move teeth, the tooth restorative plate 18 may be formed to cover the occlusal surface with the tooth restoring plate 18 to prevent tooth movement.

Using the impression material of the wearer to make the upper and lower teeth model and injecting silicone into the popular oral bottom of the mandible model to produce a primary oral bottom model, and after mounting the dental model on the articulator using an op liner and an op meter, Using the articulator, the mandible is moved forward and downward by about 1 mm. After applying the separating agent to the left and right second premolar and the first molar, the resin is made of an occlusal model. Insert the cured resin occlusal model into the mandibular second premolar and the first molar, and let the wearer keep the tongue firmly attached to the palate, and then place silicone between the sublingual and the oral cavity. After sufficiently injecting, after the silicone was cured, it was withdrawn and refined such as smoothing the surface to obtain a cosum device according to the present invention.

<Experimental Example>

Twenty adult men and women who were commonly known to have snoring were identified through sleep plural test and 16 adult men and women who had severe snoring were randomly divided into eight groups. In addition, it was confirmed that 5 out of 8 persons in the experimental group showed sleep apnea and 3 out of 8 persons in the control group showed sleep apnea.

Each member of the experimental group is to wear a breathing apparatus according to the invention customized to each member to take a sleep, the control group to take a sleep without wearing a breathing apparatus, and then snoring by conducting a sleep polymorphism test And the expression level of sleep apnea was measured.

As a result, seven of eight of the experimental group were unable to recognize snoring, and one of them was able to observe very low snoring sound. Sleep apnea also showed that 4 out of 5 did not show sleep apnea, and the other 1 also showed a significant decrease in sleep apnea.

On the other hand, in the control group, all eight were unable to detect a change in snoring. In addition, the control group could not detect a change in sleep apnea.

Therefore, when taking a sleep wearing the nose breath device according to the present invention, it was confirmed that can significantly relieve snoring and sleep apnea. Particularly, according to the present invention, the change of nasal breathing caused by raising the position of the tongue to the palate and the breathing apparatus are moved to the lower jaw by about 1 mm to the charge chamber, that is, within the physiological limit of the tongue. Widen the space to move, even if you put your tongue on the palate to make a state without a large crowd is effective to bring the same effect as the plastic surgery.

The present invention can be used in the industry of producing medical instruments and medical aids.
