Description

{Preventing opening mouth to induce nasal breathing during sleep}

[0001] The present invention relates to a mouth opening prevention zone provided to prevent abnormal breathing during sleep, such as a snoring phenomenon. More specifically, the present invention encompasses a jaw portion with a stretchable band so as to pull the mouth open during sleep, It is cold, dry and dust air is sent directly to the lungs without filtration to prevent infection. It also induces breathing to the nose and breathing normally, It is about the earth.

Generally, snoring is a slang term for abnormal breathing when sleeping. It is a relatively sneeze after 30's, and it is regarded as a kind of disease as the airway physiology develops. In this case, snoring is caused by relaxation of oral muscles during sleep , Which is a kind of abnormal breathing sound that occurs when the air velocity becomes faster due to narrowing of the airway and vomiting of the neck, which is one symptom indicating that there is dyspnea at the time of sleeping.

In particular, there are many reasons for snoring while sleeping. One of the biggest causes is for the mouth to breathe without being able to breathe normally. According to a study published by a research agency, about 85% of snoring patients have mouth open and mouth breathing during sleep. Such mouth breathing not only sucks a large amount of air at once but also cold, dry and dusty air directly to the lungs without filtration, so it weakens the immunity due to infection of bacteria and bacteria. In addition, when breathing out, the carbon dioxide emission is accelerated, and the sensed brain stimulates goblet cells to make sputum, slows breathing, contracts blood vessels, and lungs can extract oxygen from the inhaled air. And the oxygen content of the blood is lowered. In addition, it is necessary to induce breathing method by nose breathing rather than mouth breathing because it causes abnormalities of body functions such as dry mouth, sleeping disorder, headache, chronic fatigue, and deformation of teeth.

In order to prevent snoring as described above, the registration practice 20-0420285 "snoring pulling band for snoring prevention" has been disclosed in the prior art.

The band is provided with Velcro at both ends of a stretchable band to prevent the mouth from spreading.

However, when the above-mentioned band is used, the stretching force can not be controlled, so that it is frustrating at the time of wearing, and there is a limitation that the feeling of rejection is not easily used.
