Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a mouse guard, and more particularly, to a mouse guard having a structure in which a retention force can be effectively exerted while a stimulus is not applied to a soft tissue when a mouse guard is worn, Mouse guards.
In general, a mouth guard is also referred to as a mouthpiece or a splint, and refers to an oral cavity structure that is attached to a tooth and protects the tooth from external impact, and further, the jaw joint.
More specifically, the mouth guard is mounted on a tooth to prevent damage to the teeth and the temporomandibular joint when an impact is applied to the face by a fist or a ball during exercise such as fighting, ball, etc., and is made of synthetic resin, rubber, Is made of.
The mouth guard is applied to treatment of teeth or snoring, or orthodontic treatment, and is also applied to whitening of teeth. The mouth guard is applied to various purposes and various forms according to the use purpose and oral condition of the patient and wearer.
For reference, the progression of dryness or irritation may lead to various problems such as tooth wear, gingival recession, and jaw joint disease. In such circumstances, the mouth guard may be used to protect teeth.
These mouse guards are made by confirming the position of the jaw joint and the occlusal state during the process of making the correct data on the condition in the oral cavity through appropriate examination at the dentist.
In the meantime, various methods are applied to improve the holding power in the oral cavity when the mouth guard is worn. Factors that may be difficult to maintain the holding force when the mouse guard is worn include a case where the mouth guard is placed at the outermost position And the morphological limitations of the normal maxillary second molar and lack of eruption.
For example, when the vertical height (i.e., tooth height) of the maxillary second molar is low, the retaining force of the mouth guard is weak when the mouth guard is worn, so that the mouth guard portion of the mouth guard can easily fall off from the second molar. When the height of the portion corresponding to the second molar is increased, a stimulus is applied to the soft tissue, and when the height of the corresponding portion of the mouth guard is lowered to solve the problem of stimulation applied to the soft tissue, .
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a mouth guard which effectively removes the stimulation applied to the soft tissues in spite of the morphological limitation of the molar and the lack of eruption, The purpose of the mouse guards is to provide a new structure can be.
In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a tooth detachment device which is detachably attached to an upper Teeth (Upper Teeth) or a lower Teeth (Lower Teeth) to prevent damage to the inside of the user's teeth and gums For a mouth guard that protects the TMJ or is applied to orthodontic treatment;
A retention member (Retaining Member) for holding the outermost molten tooth along the dental arch of the tooth receiving pocket and increasing the retention force of the mouth guard on the tooth adhesion state on the pocket frame forming the tooth receiving pocket of the mouth guard The present invention provides a mouse guard for enhancing holding power.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a tooth groove is formed to cover an end surface of a crown, which is engaged with teeth of teeth, 1. A method of manufacturing a mouth guard comprising a pocket frame surrounding a frame and forming a tooth receiving pocket, and a retaining member for enhancing a tooth attachment force of the mouth guard;
Applying a hard resin on the tooth model,
Disposing a retaining member so as to surround the outermost tooth on the tooth model;
Forming a core frame having an end face of the crown,
And forming a pocket frame forming a tooth receiving pocket outside the core frame.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a tooth groove is formed to cover an end surface of a crown to be engaged with a tooth of a tooth, 1. A method of manufacturing a mouth guard comprising a pocket frame surrounding a core frame to form a tooth receiving pocket, and a retaining member for enhancing a tooth attaching force of the mouth guard;
Applying a hard resin on the tooth model,
Forming a core frame having an end face of the crown,
Disposing a retaining member so as to surround the outermost tooth on the tooth model;
Forming a pocket frame forming a tooth receiving pocket outside the core frame,
And disposing a retaining member so as to enclose the outermost tooth of the tooth receiving pocket.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a tooth groove is formed to cover an end surface of a crown, which is engaged with a tooth of a tooth, 1. A method of manufacturing a mouth guard comprising a frame, a pocket frame surrounding the core frame to form a tooth receiving pocket, and a retaining member for enhancing a tooth attaching force of the mouth guard;
Applying a hard resin on the tooth model,
Forming a core frame having an end face of the crown,
Forming a pocket frame forming a tooth receiving pocket outside the core frame,
Wherein the pocket frame is a layered structure comprising a soft inner cover layer directly surrounding the core frame and a rigid outer cover layer comprising the inner cover layer outer layer,
Wherein the inner cover layer is formed after the retaining member is disposed to surround the outermost tooth on the tooth model in the state that the inner cover layer is formed.
The effects of the mouse guards and the method of manufacturing the same according to the present invention are as follows.
First of all, according to the mouth guard of the present invention, unnecessary irritation is applied to the soft tissues even when the mouth guard is worn, particularly the morphological limitations of the second molar and the lack of eruption, and the maintenance force against tooth adhesion Can be exercised.
That is, in the mouth guard of the present invention, since the tooth receiving pocket of the mouth guard of the mouth guard can be effectively deposited by the retaining member, a molar located at the outermost position of the tooth receiving pocket, for example, a second molar, Or even if the eruption is insufficient, the tooth adhesion force of the mouth guard can be effectively maintained.
In addition, the mouth guard of the present invention effectively retains the adhered state to the teeth when the mouth guard is worn by the retaining force of the retaining member even when the eruption is insufficient, so that the height of the portion corresponding to the molar So that it is possible to eliminate the stimulus applied to the soft tissues unlike the conventional ones.
On the other hand, the mouth guard of the present invention can provide an appropriate attachment force, so that damage to the teeth can be prevented at the time of attachment and detachment, easy detachment, and excellent resistance and shape stability against long-term use or impact.
The mouse guards of the present invention, particularly the multi-layered mouse guards, are excellent in convenience of operation and can be easily manufactured through sequential lamination of the respective components, and thus can be easily manufactured in a personalized manner according to the dental structure after calibration .
As described above, the mouth guard of the present invention having enhanced retentive force is reliably adhered to the upper or lower teeth (Upper Teeth, upper teeth) without fail, so that the mouth guard of the mouth guard wearer can be protected from damage Thereby effectively preventing the TMJ, and more effectively protecting the TMJ, and facilitating the manufacture of the TMJ.
