Specifically, the electrical connection portion 41H comes into contact with the movable component 82. When the movable component 82 comes into contact with the electrical connection portion 41H, it moves toward the connection terminal 81 and physically contacts the connection terminal 81. As a result, the electrical connection portion 41H, the movable component 82, and the connection terminal 81 are electrically connected.

  • the oral main body device 50H of the eighth embodiment is easier to maintain the electrical connection with the oral device 10H as compared with the seventh embodiment.
  • an electrical connection is realized by physical contact between the electrical connection portion 41H and the electrical connection conductor 71H (connection terminal 81, movable component 82) only on one main surface side of the substrate 72H. Therefore, for example, when measuring the quotient force, even if a force (twisting force) in the rotational direction is generated in the oral appliance 10H, the physical contact between the electrical connection portion 41H and the electrical connection conductor 71H is maintained. Because it is easy, it is difficult to disconnect the electrical connection.
  • the oral main body device 50H of the eighth embodiment is easier to put on and take off the oral device 10H than the seventh embodiment.
  • the oral main body device 50H since the oral device 10H is fixed by the pressing member 73H only on one main surface side of the substrate 72H, it is not necessary to provide the guide 64a in the opening 64H as in the seventh embodiment. Therefore, it is not necessary to attach / detach the oral cavity device 10H along the guide 64a.
  • the oral main body device 50H of the eighth embodiment can reduce the number of parts as compared with the seventh embodiment, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
