Foreign inventions are known in the literature (WO 2004110570 A1, US 20040103905 A1 and US 50923346 A1) for the prevention of maxillofacial anomalies in childhood, which do not take into account undercutting of the posterior teeth and their stimulation. On the occlusal surfaces there are no teething spikes and a vertical flap, and there is also an occlusal bite plane between the incisors.

Known removable orthodontic apparatus for the correction of myofunctional disorders (RU 163407 U1) in children. This unit is made of hard acrylic plastic manufactured by Poland Villacryl Ortho, Zhermack Technical, which can cause allergies and scuffs. In addition, the apparatus also requires the removal of individual impressions from the jaws, casting models. An inclined visor in the area of the lower incisors is shown only to children with a deep bite and is contraindicated in the presence of an open bite. It does not stimulate the growth of the jaws, the screening for the tongue, leaving the labial bumper of the vestibular surface at the level of the canines of the upper jaw can interfere with the position of the upper incisors. The device does not affect the stimulation of teething of the posterior teeth.

Also known are devices for eliminating bad habits (RU 2071744 C1, SU 1743599 A1). These devices have fixed orthodontic crowns on the upper canines with beams rigidly attached to them and wires, which can be corroded at the places of soldering and cause discomfort during eating and difficulty wearing. Steel structures can cause allergies, hygiene difficulties and caries complications. In addition, the devices require laboratory manufacturing, taking impressions from the upper and lower jaws, on which the orthodontic apparatus will be fixed, additional visits to fit crowns and removing additional impressions with crowns on the teeth of two jaws. And only on the third visit, the final correction is carried out, the crowns are fixed with phosphate cement for 10 minutes, followed by the introduction of the active element into the metal tube, which injures the small patient and can be dangerous when compressing and popping up the wire element.

A disadvantage of the known technical solutions is that they at the same time do not protect from the wrong position of the tongue, from laying the tongue between the front teeth, do not stimulate the eruption of the lateral teeth and, in addition, the occlusal lining is short-lived and quickly destroyed.

The technical problem that the proposed utility model addresses is the elimination of the above disadvantages, namely the simultaneous prevention of bad habits in children and the stimulation of teething of the lateral teeth, as well as the increase in the service life of a removable orthodontic apparatus.

The technical result of the claimed technical solution, achieved by solving the above problem, is to prevent bad habits in children in combination with stimulation of teething of the posterior teeth.

Teething of the posterior teeth contributes to the correct position of the tongue. The presence of bad habits is often associated with the absence or under-teething, as well as with the incorrect position of the tongue (its low position) and the laying of the tongue between the antagonists and in the places of temporarily missing teeth. This can be facilitated by a reduced volume of the oral cavity and narrowing of the upper jaw, oral type of breathing, and diseases of the ENT organs. The absence of temporary teeth, including the posterior, affects the position of the tongue. The tongue rushes into the area of the defect, and bad habits of the wrong position of the tongue and sucking appear.

This implies the need to normalize the position of the tongue, the tip of which should be located at the level of the roots of the upper central incisors.

To solve the technical problem and achieve the claimed technical result, a removable double-jaw silicone orthodontic apparatus is used, consisting of a vestibular vertical pilot, fixed motionless, from the oral side, in the lateral sections, with perpendicular, spiked, bite occlusal platforms, connected in the front section with a vertical shutter for a tongue with a triangular spike-ledge in its upper part. Additionally, the device can be equipped with an extraoral ring, which connects to the pilot from the vestibular side, in the frontal section, along the line of closure of the lips.

In the orthodontics clinic of the Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics of RUDN University, preventive correction of anomalous occlusion was performed in 5 patients aged two to six years with deep incisal occlusion, disocclusion and narrowing of the dentition, habitual oral breathing. The children were given a removable double-jaw silicone orthodontic apparatus, recommendations for use (wearing 1-2 hours during the day and during the night) with repeated examinations once a month were given. After four to six months of treatment, normalization of nasal breathing, the position of the tongue, the shape and size of the dentition, occlusion, and molars erupted.

Component Description

As shown in FIG. 1-4, a removable double-jawed silicone orthodontic apparatus for preventing bad habits in children and stimulating teething of the posterior teeth includes a vestibular pilot fixedly connected from the vestibular side in the frontal section 3 along the line of closure of the lips with a holder 2 connecting the extraoral ring 1 with the vestibular pilot 3 in the middle passing in the lateral sections 4, from the oral side to the right and left into two occlusal bite pads 5, fixed motionless in the frontal section with a vertical flap for the tongue 7 delta (subulate) lip 8 in its upper part in a projection of the crowns of the upper central incisors. At the same time, on the surfaces of the lateral bite occlusal sites 5 there are spines 6 above and below.

Terms of use

The device is recommended for young children (after a year) for the prevention of bad habits of sucking, laying of the tongue, infantile swallowing, mouth type of breathing, speech impairment, abnormal eruption and stimulation of the correct eruption and teething of the lateral teeth.

The proposed prophylactic apparatus can be used as a replacement for the nipple, chest, drinker and other foreign objects in the mouth (fingers, nails, toys, pens, pencils). The clean apparatus is placed in the mouth so that the nibble pads with spikes are closed in the lateral sections with incomplete teeth or gingival ridges, the vestibular pilots remain outside - in anticipation of the oral cavity, and the incisors are placed in the middle part between the vestibular pilot and the tongue shutter.

The use of the claimed apparatus helps to normalize the position of the tongue - the tip of the tongue should be located at the level of the roots of the upper central incisors - as this will be facilitated by an awl-shaped protrusion that limits the laying of the tongue and contributes to its correct position at rest, and the presence of lateral bites that prevent the laying of the tongue between the uncut teeth or gingival ridges, as they occupy the space between them. In addition, the spines on the bite sites act as a gum or tooth massager, stimulating teething, and also prevent premature wear of the device, and do not allow it to bend in the side sections (increase stiffness).

The device can be used in children of an older age group and in adolescence without the inclusion of a retaining ring and a larger size.

Corrector wearing rules.

According to the testimony of a doctor, speech therapist, dentist. Start from the time of wakefulness, gradually switch to daytime and nighttime sleep. It is recommended that you wear the maximum number of hours per day. Depending on the pathology, wearing can be stopped after a few days, weeks, months. To achieve quick positive results, parents should ask the child to close their mouth in the correct position of the corrector.

Cleaning a universal preventive corrector.

Clean it 2 times a day with a medium hard toothbrush and toothpaste. Immerse it for at least 30 minutes a day in a 0.05% chlorhexidine solution. Rinse with water before wearing.

Indications.

1. Bad habits (sucking after a year, laying the tongue, biting nails, putting foreign bodies in the mouth - pens, pencils, fingers, toys).

2. Improper phonetics (speech impairment due to inconsistency of the incisors in the anterior section).

3. Any violations of occlusion (open, cross, distal bite).

4. Teething problems (soreness, delay, slow or abnormal teething).

5. Breathing by mouth.

6. Weak muscles of the lips, cheeks and tongue.

7. Infantile swallowing.

8. Sleep disturbances.
