Abstract

Device for eliminating and preventing harmful language habits, comprising a bracket on which a functionally active element is attached in the middle part. Functionally acting element is made in the form of beads, the bracket is soldered to two thin-walled cast perforated crowns, intended for fixation on temporary fangs, each of which contains a surface for application of the fixing material.

Description

The useful model belongs to the fields of orthodontics and speech therapy, and is used to prevent the development of jaw and jaw deformities by eliminating harmful tongue habits, infantile swallowing, myogymnastics after tongue frenulum plastic surgery, eliminating speech disorders, in particular dyslalia, etc.

It is known that anomalies and deformations of the maxillofacial apparatus, such as: anomalies of the tooth rows, incorrect mutual placement of the jaws, anomalies of the position of the jaws relative to the base of the skull occur in all age groups. One of the reasons for their occurrence is bad habits, namely, sucking and sticking the tongue between the teeth, incorrect articulation of the tongue, etc.

It is also known that speech disorders, such as dyslalia - a violation of the pronunciation of some sounds, with normal hearing and preserved innervation of the speech apparatus, can occur with a short frenulum of the tongue, orthodontic pathologies and are eliminated with the use of various devices, in particular orthodontic devices.

From the technical level (Kuroedova V.D., Zhdan V.N., Halych L.B. et al. Atlas of orthodontic appliances. - Poltava: Dyvosvit, 2011. - 1546b.; 2. Flis P.S. Orthodontics. - Vinnytsia : Nova Kniga, 2007. - 6.150-189.) known removable orthodontic appliances, for example, appliances Og. Neep; with a bead used for the prevention and elimination of tongue habits, infantile type of swallowing, the "flabby tongue" effect, mouth breathing, for example, after the rehabilitation of the nasopharynx, sucking and biting the lips and foreign objects, limiting the pressure of the muscles around the mouth area; normalization of the function of closing the lips, changes in the position of the tongue, myogymnastics after plasty of the frenulum of the tongue, prevention of speech disorders.

The constituent parts of such devices are: a vestibular shield, a ring, a wire bracket, on which a functional element in the form of a bead is attached.

Also known are removable orthodontic appliances with a bead, which is used to eliminate tongue sticking between teeth, infantile type of swallowing, logopedic disorders, myogymnastics after tongue frenulum plastic surgery. The components of such devices are: a shortened base of the device, a vestibular arch, a bracket at the border of the front and middle 1/3 of the palate, a bead, and fixing clips.

The closest analogue of a useful model is the orthodontic device known from the state of the art (US patent Zhb, 082,996 dated July 4, 2000) for eliminating harmful habits, namely tongue sucking, infantile swallowing, myogymnastics after plasty of the tongue frenulum, logopedic disorders, etc., consisting of from orthodontic rings to the first permanent molars, connected to each other by a lingual arch, which passes into a bracket in the front part of the palate, on which a functionally active element in the form of a roller is attached.

The main disadvantages of the nearest analogue, proven by clinical studies, include the bulkiness caused by the size of the structure, the insufficient versatility associated with the use of fixed elements for fixation (orthodontic rings) on permanent teeth, which makes it impossible to use in the temporary period of occlusion (the most effective period for prevention) and increases the risk of caries in the non-mineralized cervical area of permanent teeth at the stage of an unformed root.

The purpose of the useful model is to create an effective and easy-to-use device for the prevention of bad habits in the temporary and first period of variable bite, namely, tongue sucking, infantile swallowing, myogymnastics after tongue frenulum plastic surgery, treatment of speech disorders, in particular, dyslalia.

The task is solved by the creation of a device containing a bracket on which a functionally active element is attached in the middle part, with a useful model, the functionally active element is made in the form of a bead, the bracket is soldered to two thin-walled cast perforated crowns intended for fixation on temporary canines , each of which contains a surface for applying a fixing material.

According to a useful model, a photopolymer glass ionomer cement is used as a fixing material.

The technical result of the proposed useful model is as follows: - fixation of the device on temporary canines makes the device compact, due to the reduction of the size of the structure, which in turn allows to facilitate hygienic care and improve the hygienic condition of the oral cavity, eliminates the risk of caries in the non-mineralized cervical area at the stage unformed root of permanent teeth; compactness helps to increase the articulation zones of the tongue, which in turn has a positive effect on the quality of elimination of speech disorders; - the use of a functional element in the form of a bead allows you to control the usual palatal position of the tongue, to activate the work of the root of the tongue, since during a conversation the child involuntarily rolls it in the area of the palate, stimulating the muscles of the tongue;

- the use of photopolymer glass ionomer cement for fixation allows to achieve an aesthetic appearance of the device during use.

The proposed useful model is illustrated in Fig., on which the positions are marked: thin-walled cast perforated crowns (1) with a surface for applying a fixing material (4), a functional element in the form of a bead (2), a bracket (3).

A useful model is made as follows: anatomical impressions of the patient's upper and lower jaws are obtained in a standard way. Gypsum models are cast from, for example, super-gypsum. They are plastered in the articulator in the position of an individual constructive bite. Thin-walled cast perforated metal crowns are made in a standard way.

A bracket is bent from orthodontic wire (4-0.8 mm), a bead is fixed on it in the middle, and the bracket with the bead is soldered to the crowns. The device is ground and polished in a standard way. Fit in the oral cavity. Fix on photopolymer glass ionomer cement.

Clinical indications for the use of the proposed device are the prevention and treatment of logopedic disorders, in particular dyslalia, prevention of dento-jaw deformities by eliminating harmful tongue habits, infantile type of swallowing, myogymnastics after tongue frenulum plastic surgery.

Age indications: temporary and first period of alternating bite.
