Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device to stop or alleviate the consequences of teeth clenching due to stress or other reasons; it also relates to a treatment based on electrical microstimulation; lastly, it relates to the a ⁇ t ⁇ iinistration of drugs and other substances through permeable slow-release capsules.
  • a number of solutions are currently available to alleviate and control these disorders, such as drugs, psychotherapy, physiotherapy and the use of mouth guards (splints and/or appliances), designed to attenuate or decondition the neuromuscular receptors and, consequently, reduce teeth clenching and other consequences of stress.
  • This invention relates to a device, which may also be called a universal stress reduction mouthpiece, or mouthpiece for short, which remedies the above inconveniences, while at the same time allowing broader application.
  • the preferred embodiment of the mouthpiece is preferably made of silicone and consists of a single element, or a number of assembled components; a view from the top of the device features two outer rectangles with preferably rounded comers, connected by a band, preferably made of silicone and of suitable width, length and thickness; a fin of suitable width projects at right angles from each of the two rectangular elements.
  • the mouthpiece is fitted between the dental arches so that the band is positioned in the vestibular fornix and the two fins interposed between the jaws.

These elements (1 and 2) are large enough to be contained in the posterior lateral vestibule and they are united by a band (3).

  • Further improvements to the preferred embodiment can be obtained by introducing electrical or electromagnetic microcircuits in the lateral vestibular elements, for either personal use, supplying power to the circuit by means of a battery, or professional use, connecting it with a control unit that can change, modulate and monitor the stimuli, also according to a dedicated software running on a computer.
  • the mouthpiece by suitably modifying the fins it can be possible to symmetrically introduce - in the two posterior areas - small containers, similar to permeable capsules or perforated sachets, containing, for example, medicinal and other substances to anatagonize pain or the craving for cigarettes, also by increasing the production of saliva; for these purposes the mouthpiece can also be made of an edible substance, which gradually melts away in the mouth, either entirely or partially.
  • this mouthpiece remedies the inconveniences featured by the currently available devices, also performing a function of neuromuscular receptor deprogramming, to alleviate and correct mandibular-postural, cervical and occlusal disorders, cephalgias, headaches, spinal problems, postural disorders, trigger points, with the added advantage of mass production, this mouthpieces, in fact, no longer needs to be custom-made like the traditional ones; it also has the advantage of being disposable, with a programmed and programmable duration, and of being structured, if necessary, in such a way as to be adapted and balanced by the dentist.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une pièce buccale destinée à supprimer ou réduire les effets du serrement des dents dû au stress ou à d'autres facteurs. Cette pièce buccale est réalisée de préférence en silicone et se compose d'un seul élément ou de plusieurs éléments assemblés. En vue de dessus, la pièce buccale comprend deux rectangles extérieurs présentant de préférence des coins arrondis, ces rectangles étant reliés par une bande, réalisée de préférence en silicone et présentant une largeur, une longueur et une épaisseur adaptées. Une ailette de largeur adaptée fait saillie à angle droit par rapport à chacun des deux éléments rectangulaires.
