DISPOSITIVO INTRAORAL DE ORIENTACIÓN MANDIBULAR  INTRAORAL MANDIBULAR ORIENTATION DEVICE
D E S C R I P C I Ó N D E S C R I P C I Ó N
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
El objeto de la invención es un dispositivo intraoral que provoca una reorientación mandibular que mejora el rendimiento fisiológico muscular. The object of the invention is an intraoral device that causes a mandibular reorientation that improves muscular physiological performance.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Son conocidos los dispositivos maxilares que se localizan, bien en el dispositivo maxilar superior, o bien, en el dispositivo maxilar inferior. Estos dispositivos intraorales comprenden una unidad maxilar superior o inferior que comprende una cavidad para albergar un arco dental, estando dicha cavidad delimitada por paredes laterales en conexión con una pared intermedia, estando también dicha cavidad preconformada en correspondencia con el arco dental. De esta forma el dispositivo intraoral se adapta a la arcada del usuario, de modo que recubre la misma. Maxillary devices that are located, either in the upper maxillary device, or in the lower maxillary device are known. These intraoral devices comprise an upper or lower maxillary unit comprising a cavity to house a dental arch, said cavity being delimited by side walls in connection with an intermediate wall, said preformed cavity being also in correspondence with the dental arch. In this way the intraoral device adapts to the user's arch, so that it covers it.
Los anteriores dispositivos intraorales cumplen diversas funciones, como por ejemplo, actuar como protector bucal frente a traumatismos dentales o permitir una mayor ventilación mediante una mayor apertura de la zona orofaringea mejorando así el rendimiento fisiológico muscular ya que favorece un mejor intercambio de gases propiciando un mejor rendimiento pulmonar. The previous intraoral devices fulfill various functions, such as acting as a mouth guard against dental trauma or allowing greater ventilation through a greater opening of the oropharyngeal area thus improving muscular physiological performance since it favors a better exchange of gases promoting a better lung performance
Una desventaja de los protectores bucales es que, en primer lugar, están específicamente concebidos para la protección frente a traumatismos bucales y además poseen una confortabilidad mínima, interfieren en el habla y en la ventilación pulmonar y generan un alto estímulo salival. A disadvantage of mouthguards is that, first, they are specifically designed for protection against oral trauma and also have minimal comfort, interfere with speech and pulmonary ventilation and generate a high salivary stimulus.
Respecto a aquellos que permiten una mayor ventilación pulmonar, para lograr la indicada apertura de la zona orofaringea, la pared intermedia de la unidad maxilar superior de este tipo de dispositivos maxilares comprende sendos engrasamientos localizados en la cara opuesta al arco dental que comprenden una superficie libre plana y que están localizados en la zona premolar-molar provocando así el desplazamiento vertical de la mandíbula inferior respecto a la superior, logrando de este modo una mayor ventilación de la zona orofaringea. Sin embargo, una desventaja que presentan estos dispositivos maxilares es que el grado de apertura de la zona orofaringea es constante e independiente de las características del usuario. Regarding those that allow greater pulmonary ventilation, to achieve indicated opening of the oropharyngeal area, the intermediate wall of the upper maxillary unit of this type of maxillary devices comprises two greasings located on the opposite side of the dental arch that comprise a flat free surface and that are located in the premolar-molar area thus causing the vertical displacement of the lower jaw with respect to the upper one, thus achieving greater ventilation of the oropharyngeal area. However, a disadvantage presented by these maxillary devices is that the degree of opening of the oropharyngeal area is constant and independent of the characteristics of the user.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El dispositivo objeto de la invención se caracteriza porque comprende adicionalmente a la unidad maxilar superior anteriormente descrita, una unidad maxilar inferior que comprende sendos engrasamientos para el pivotamiento de la unidad maxilar inferior respecto de la unidad maxilar superior localizados en la cara opuesta al arco dental en la pared intermedia y en correspondencia con la superficie libre de la unidad maxilar superior. The device object of the invention is characterized in that it additionally comprises the upper maxillary unit described above, a lower maxillary unit comprising two gears for pivoting the lower maxillary unit with respect to the upper maxillary unit located on the face opposite the dental arch in the intermediate wall and in correspondence with the free surface of the upper maxillary unit.
El dispositivo intraoral objeto de la invención, por lo tanto, comprende sendas unidades que se adaptan a ambos maxilares superior e inferior y mediante la combinación de la acción de ambas unidades se obtienen una serie de ventajas. The intraoral device object of the invention, therefore, comprises two units that adapt to both upper and lower jaws and by combining the action of both units a series of advantages are obtained.
En primer lugar, se obtiene un aumento de la dimensión vertical que es variable gracias a la acción combinada del punto de pivotamiento y la superficie plana. First, an increase in the vertical dimension is obtained which is variable thanks to the combined action of the pivot point and the flat surface.
La configuración anterior permite que el dispositivo en posición de cierre oclusal, desplace la mandíbula hacia abajo y además hacia delante gracias al plano de deslizamiento bimaxilar obtenido por la superficie plana en la zona premolar-molar maxilar superior y el punto de pivotamiento en el maxilar inferior con el cual se obtiene un aumento maxilar variable debido a que el punto de pivotamiento permite que la mandíbula se desplace hacia delante con libertad potenciando según las necesidades fisiológicas y biomecánicas una mayor o menor dimensión vertical o bien un mayor o menor avance mandibular. The previous configuration allows the device in the occlusal closure position to move the jaw down and further forward thanks to the bimaxillary slide plane obtained by the flat surface in the upper maxillary premolar-molar area and the pivot point in the lower jaw with which a variable maxillary increase is obtained because the pivot point allows the jaw to move forward freely, boosting according to physiological and biomechanical needs a greater or lesser vertical dimension or a greater or lesser mandibular advance.
Cuando la boca se cierra y los dientes buscan entrar en contacto ejerciendo una gran presión, las mandíbulas deslizantes actúan de pivotes induciendo a la mandíbula a dibujar un ligero arco descendente. When the mouth is closed and the teeth seek to come into contact with great pressure, the sliding jaws act as pivots, inducing the jaw to draw a slight descending arch.
Más concretamente, en posición de cierre, sin avance mandibular, se obtiene el mayor aumento de dimensión vertical, propiciando con ello una potenciación de aspectos biomecánicos relacionados con la fuerza muscular y la protección frente a traumatismos. More specifically, in the closed position, without mandibular advancement, the greatest increase in vertical dimension is obtained, thereby promoting a potentiation of biomechanical aspects related to muscle strength and protection against trauma.
Sin embargo, en una posición de cierre con avance mandibular, la dimensión vertical disminuye y se obtiene un aumento del diámetro de la orofaringe, con lo cual se obtiene una mejor ventilación pulmonar en los momentos de mayor esfuerzo físico, caracterizado por un metabolismo anaeróbico de las fuentes energéticas, por lo que la recuperación del tejido muscular después de un esfuerzo físico de alta intensidad resulta ser más rápida y con ello se consigue reducir el riesgo de lesiones musculares debido a la fatiga. However, in a closed position with mandibular advancement, the vertical dimension decreases and an increase in the diameter of the oropharynx is obtained, which results in better pulmonary ventilation at times of greatest physical exertion, characterized by anaerobic metabolism of energy sources, so that the recovery of muscle tissue after a high intensity physical effort turns out to be faster and thus reduces the risk of muscle injuries due to fatigue.
El correcto diseño y posicionamiento intraoral demuestra incrementar parámetros físicos como la fuerza, la elasticidad y el metabolismo del lactato a nivel del sistema músculo-esquelético, dando lugar a una mejora del rendimiento del aparato locomotor reduciendo la fatiga muscular y a medio y largo plazo la incidencia de lesiones musculares. The correct design and intraoral positioning demonstrates increasing physical parameters such as strength, elasticity and metabolism of lactate at the level of the musculoskeletal system, leading to an improvement in the performance of the musculoskeletal system by reducing muscle fatigue and in the medium and long term the incidence of muscle injuries.
Además de mejorar el rendimiento deportivo, el dispositivo intraoral objeto de la invención posee otras ventajas como son la reducción del estrés al liberar la presión concentrada en la articulación témpora mandibular (ATM), ya que el uso de dispositivos intraorales que interfieran de un modo específico en la mordedura ayuda al control de estrés y mejora el rendimiento físico. Igualmente, mejora la resistencia muscular y la posterior recuperación del tejido muscular estresado. Además, la cavidad tanto de la unidad superior e inferior está preconformada en correspondencia con el arco dental, por lo tanto está adaptada a la anatomía dento-alveolar de las arcadas superior e inferior, por lo que el dispositivo es cómodo en su uso ya que se adapta perfectamente a la anatomía del usuario. In addition to improving sports performance, the intraoral device object of the invention has other advantages such as stress reduction by releasing the concentrated pressure in the mandibular temporal joint (ATM), since the use of intraoral devices that interfere in a specific way In the bite it helps control stress and improves physical performance. It also improves muscle endurance and subsequent recovery of stressed muscle tissue. In addition, the cavity of both the upper and lower unit is preconformed in correspondence with the dental arch, therefore it is adapted to the dento-alveolar anatomy of the upper and lower arches, so that the device is comfortable in use since It adapts perfectly to the anatomy of the user.

En las figuras 1 a 3, el dispositivo intraoral del ejemplo de realización posee una unidad maxilar superior (10) y una unidad maxilar inferior (20), comprendiendo ambas (10, 20) una cavidad para albergar el arco dental (30). Ambas cavidades están delimitadas por paredes laterales (1 1 ) en conexión con una pared intermedia (12). La pared intermedia (12) de la unidad maxilar superior (10) comprende sendos engrasamientos (13) localizados en la cara opuesta al arco dental (30) que comprenden a su vez una superficie libre (14) plana. Estos engrasamientos (13) están localizados en correspondencia con la zona premolar- molar (32, 31 ). In Figures 1 to 3, the intraoral device of the embodiment example has a upper maxillary unit (10) and a lower maxillary unit (20), both (10, 20) comprising a cavity to house the dental arch (30). Both cavities are delimited by side walls (1 1) in connection with an intermediate wall (12). The intermediate wall (12) of the upper maxillary unit (10) comprises two greases (13) located on the opposite side of the dental arch (30) which in turn comprise a flat free surface (14). These greases (13) are located in correspondence with the premolarmolar zone (32, 31).
En la figura 1 se aprecia que los recrecidos (21 ) de la unidad maxilar inferior (20) para el pivotamiento de ésta (20) respecto de la unidad maxilar superior (10) se localizan en correspondencia con la superficie libre (14) de la unidad maxilar superior (10). Figure 1 shows that the recesses (21) of the lower maxillary unit (20) for pivoting it (20) with respect to the upper maxillary unit (10) are located in correspondence with the free surface (14) of the upper maxillary unit (10).
El dispositivo intraoral está totalmente adaptado a las características del usuario ya que tanto en la unidad maxilar superior (10) como la unidad maxilar inferior (20), la cavidad para albergar el arco dental (30) está configurada en función de las características morfoesqueléticas y dentales del usuario. The intraoral device is fully adapted to the characteristics of the user since in both the upper maxillary unit (10) and the lower maxillary unit (20), the cavity to house the dental arch (30) is configured according to the morphoskeletal characteristics and Dental
En el ejemplo de realización mostrado en las figuras los recrecidos (21 ) para el pivotamiento de la unidad maxilar inferior (20) respecto de la unidad maxilar superior (10) se localizan en la zona correspondiente a los dientes premolares (32). In the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures, the recesses (21) for pivoting the lower maxillary unit (20) with respect to the upper maxillary unit (10) are located in the area corresponding to the premolar teeth (32).
Según se aprecia en la figura 1 , los recrecidos (21 ) para el pivotamiento de la unidad maxilar inferior (20) respecto de la unidad maxilar superior (10) comprenden sendas superficies esféricas, por ejemplo, en la que la esfera es de unos 2 mm de radio compuesta de copolímero. As can be seen in Figure 1, the recesses (21) for pivoting the lower maxillary unit (20) with respect to the upper maxillary unit (10) comprise spherical surfaces, for example, in which the sphere is about 2 mm of copolymer compound radius.
Este punto de pivotamiento permite un avance de la mandíbula de hasta 8 mm sin interferencias oclusales y con la máxima libertad biomecánica. Adicionalmente al menos una de las unidades maxilar superior (10) o inferior (20) del dispositivo intraoral puede comprender un protector dento-alveolar frente a traumatismos por impacto que puedan afectar a la región buco-dental, por lo que es capaz de adaptarse al tipo de práctica deportiva. This pivot point allows a jaw advance of up to 8 mm without occlusal interference and with maximum biomechanical freedom. Additionally, at least one of the upper (10) or lower (20) maxillary units of the intraoral device may comprise a dento-alveolar protector against impact trauma that may affect the oral-dental region, so that it is capable of adapting to the kind of sports practice.
El dispositivo intraoral también puede comprender la unidad maxilar superior (10) y la unidad maxilar inferior (20) configuradas de modo que en posición operativa sobre una cavidad bucal permiten el paso de aire a través de la zona que está localizada entre los engrasamientos (13) y los recrecidos (21 ) en dirección a la cavidad bucal.
