2 is a front view of the jaw joint correction pad according to the present invention.
3 is an enlarged front view illustrating a right pad frame, a bite pad, and an inner jaw portion of the jaw joint correcting pad according to the present invention.
4 is an enlarged rear view illustrating a right pad frame, a bite pad, and an inner jaw portion of a jaw joint correcting pad according to the present invention.

1 and 2 are a perspective view and a front view of the jaw joint correction pad according to the present invention, respectively.

The jaw joint correction pad according to the present invention is a pad frame (1) for wrapping the lower teeth gums from the outside so as to be worn on the lower teeth or lower teeth gums, and a bite pad (2) located between the lower teeth and the upper teeth of the upper teeth; The inner jaw (3) is formed integrally so that the bite pad does not fall toward the cheek when asked. The jaw joint correction pad further includes a front portion 4 curved along the shape of the lower teeth gums connecting the left and right pairs of the pad frame 1. In the center of the front portion, a tongue tongue groove 5 into which the tongue of the wearer can be inserted is formed to improve a feeling of wearing.

3 is an enlarged front view of a right pad frame, a bite pad, and an inner jaw portion of the jaw joint correcting pad according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, the bite pad 2 has a structure that becomes thinner as it becomes thicker toward the inner side of the molar. The bite pad is formed to become thicker toward the inner side of the molar tooth, thereby opening up the rear of the molar tooth (jaw joint) in principle. This structure has the effect of releasing muscle consolidation and compression of the skull and promoting blood circulation of the jaw joint, cervical spine and skull.
