Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of devices known as "bite/mouth guard” or “mouth protector” which are configured to be housed inside a user' s mouth and coupled to a dental arch. These devices are suitable to perform various functions, among which the treatment of bruxism (i.e., grinding or gnashing of the teeth) , improving sporting performance and protecting the teeth and the mouth from facial traumas .
  • bite/mouth guard or “mouth protector”
  • devices in the form of endo-oral appliances of plastic type to be placed in the mouth to protect the upper or lower dental arch are known.
  • These devices consist of a U-shaped body to define two lateral arms and a frontal portion for complementary connection to a dental arch.
  • these devices are made by moulding a portion for receiving the teeth on a supporting base.
  • the supporting base is in turn made by moulding a plastic material with greater stiffness and greater resistance to heat with respect to the plastic materials used for moulding the portion for receiving the teeth.
  • the supporting base is usually a substantially uniform thin body and in use collaborates with the opposing dental arch, i.e., the dental arch that remains outside the device.
  • Anchoring protrusions extend from the base.
  • the portion for receiving the teeth has a U-shaped section with side walls for coupling with the vestibular-palatal walls of the dental arch and a base wall against which the chewing surface (or top) of the tooth abuts. It is known that this U-shaped section that cooperates with the lateral and top surfaces of the teeth is shaped to define a plurality of cavities or seats, each of which has a profile substantially corresponding (based on statistics) to the related tooth to be housed.
  • the free arms of the device couple with the back teeth, i.e., the molars, premolars and canines while the connecting frontal portion of the arms couples with the incisors.
  • devices of self-modelling or customisable type are currently known. These devices are made at least partly, i.e., at least the portion that comes into contact with the teeth, of a plastic material that when taken to a given temperature becomes modellable to enable the mouth protector to be modelled according to a specific dental arch. For example, in the most widespread procedure for customising the device, the device is immersed in hot water, for example in boiling water, for a few seconds and the hot device is then tightened with the teeth.
  • the portion for receiving the teeth is customised according to the dental profile impressed in the hot device by the user. Once cooled, the device permanently maintains this impressed shape corresponding to the user's dental profile.
  • the kit that contains the mouth protector is also provided with a special accessory known as "fork" or gripping device.
  • This fork has a portion configured to be coupled to the device and a portion configured to offer the user a manual holding area outside the device. Therefore, before starting the steps of immersing the device in hot water the device must be coupled to the relative fork. The device is then handled by means of this fork.
  • a first drawback of these self-modelling devices (which are aimed at being suitable to be used by all users, regardless of their different mouth shapes) concerns the adaptability of the device to the different dimensions of the dental arches.
  • the device In the case in which the device is too long with respect to the sagittal dimension of the dental arch, i.e., if it extends distally beyond the seventh molar impacting on the mucous membrane, after or before the first tightening for shaping, the user can shorten the device by cutting part of the its free ends, thereby reducing the painful penetration of the mucous membrane.
  • this gripping device is trident-shaped with one or more central pins that couple to respective frontal holes of the device at the level of the incisors and with two outer arms that externally surround almost the whole length of the arms until coupling to the rear ends.
  • this configuration during the first tightening the user experiences resistance both at the incisors, where a rigid guide for insertion of the central pins of the gripping device is present, and at the molars where the outer arms of the fork tend to close the mouth protector towards the inside.
  • the known gripping device substantially also directly embracing the arms of the device for protecting the teeth and the mouth limits the possibility of widening or narrowing this device according to the different transverse dimension of the dental arch, or transverse "width" of the user's mouth.
  • this embracing of the gripping device around the arms of the device for protecting the teeth and the mouth involves the presence of pin elements of the fork penetrating into the arms of the device transversely. As the fork is made of a harder plastic material with respect to the device, the presence of these pins makes it impossible to model the device locally even with the correct tightening action of the teeth.
  • the modelling steps of known devices are not without problems.
  • the present device Due to the partial modelling steps possible by means of the present invention, the present device enables the reproduction of the most natural tightening condition possible.
  • an object of the present invention is to produce a kit or assembly or pack of a device for mouth and teeth, in particular for protecting the teeth, suitable of overcoming the drawbacks of the prior art cited above.
  • an object of the present invention is to produce a kit or assembly or pack of a self-modellable and customisable device for mouth and teeth that can be comfortably used by all users regardless of the sagittal, frontal and transverse dimensions of the dental arch, i.e., of the length (longitudinal dimension) and of the width (transverse dimension) of the mouth.
  • the kit comprises a self-modelling and customisable device for mouth and teeth as will be described hereinafter and a gripping device for its handling during the self-modelling and customising operations.
  • a self-modelling and customisable device for mouth and teeth as will be described hereinafter
  • a gripping device for its handling during the self-modelling and customising operations.
  • the term device for mouth and teeth we mean a specific device known to the person skilled in the art as mouth guard for the treatment of bruxism or for protecting the teeth in general. As is known, these devices are U-shaped to comprise two lateral arms for coupling with the molars, premolars and canines, and a connecting frontal portion for coupling with the incisors.
  • self-modelling we refer to those devices at least partly, i.e. at least at the coupling area with the teeth, made of a plastic material configured to deform with heat and subsequently maintain the dental impression left on the hot device.
  • each lateral arm of the device comprises at least one invitation to cut configured to help the user to manually shorten the length of these arms.
  • the lateral arms comprise a base wall, an outer side wall and an inner side wall substantially orthogonal to the base wall.
  • This structure defines a receiving cavity for the lateral portions of the dental arch.
  • the invitation to cut extends substantially along the whole of the sagittal (or transverse) extension of the base wall of the arms and orthogonal to the U-shaped direction of extension of the device.
  • the end cut is guided substantially along the whole of the perimeter extension of the device, i.e., entirely along a direction orthogonal to the extension of the arms.
  • the invitation to cut can also extend at least partly along the side walls, i.e., also along part of the extension of the side walls orthogonally to the base wall.
  • a plurality of invitation to cut lines can be provided at the inner side wall to enable the device to adapt better to the shape of the user's tongue.
  • this feature makes it possible to prevent another drawback that can currently occur using prior art devices, i.e., an excessive gag reflex, which at times can even cause vomiting.
  • vitation to cut we mean a line or area along which the relative arm offers a lower shear strength.
  • this feature can be a line with a reduced section, a line along which there are indentations that define a reduced thickness or, according to a preferred embodiment, this invitation to cut can be a through-opening in the shape of a slot along a cutting direction.
  • the presence of this through slot makes it possible to insert an end of a cutting member, such as a cutter or scissor blade, into the cutting line, so as to greatly reduce the force required by the user to make the desired cut.
  • a cutting member such as a cutter or scissor blade
  • the invitation to cut can be produced in a hybrid form in which both a through-opening and a portion of reduced thickness are present.
  • This last embodiment is easily reproduced when the device is made (as known) by joining (preferably, by moulding) two separate bodies, i.e., a substantially flat U-shaped base on which the remaining part of the shaped device is moulded with the receiving cavity of the teeth.
  • the portion that defines the receiving cavity of the teeth is made of a heat-deformable plastic material to enable customising of the device, while the base is made of a stiffer plastic material, i.e., with a lower deformability with respect to the remaining part that must be modelled by the user.

  • the opening produced in the base has a shorter length with respect to the cut produced in the yielding portion. In this way, when assembled the assembly has a through-opening only at the opening of the base and a portion of reduced thickness at the remaining portions of the cut of the yielding body.
  • the user is provided with an actual guide for cutting (if required) and on the other (if cutting is not required) the integrity of the device is guaranteed.

  • the base body comprises protrusions penetrating into the receiving body of the dental arch and these protrusions have an elongated shape along the extension of the arms. In this way, a firm coupling of the base with the deformable portion is guaranteed also in the presence of arms with marked extensions that require a cut before use.
  • the protrusions are made at the teeth with spaces between these protrusions. This embodiment is an optimal compromise between the need to provide the device with structure at the teeth and the need to be able to deform the device according to the different geometry of the user's mouth .
