Description

Invisible tongue position appliance

Technical Field

The utility model relates to an oral medical supplies field especially relates to an invisible tongue position unscrambler.

Background

The following background is provided to aid the reader in understanding the present invention and is not admitted to be prior art.

The functional space of the tongue is the basis for the normal development of the craniofacial system. Balter believes that the normal morphology of the arch and the occlusions is maintained by the balance of muscle strength between the muscles around the mouth and the tongue. Winder believes that, when resting force and other factors are not considered, the force of the tongue on the dental arch is about 3-4 times of the force of the lip and cheek muscles, and the tongue plays a dominant role in the oral cavity space.

However, dysfunction of the tongue will lead to abnormalities in the growth and development of the craniofacial area, for example, a posterior shift of the tongue body may lead to malocclusion of Ann's second class; downward and forward displacement of the tongue body may cause three types of malocclusion of Anshi. Research shows that most of Anshi three-class malocclusion patients have obviously lower tongue position, and lower tongue position is obviously related to narrower maxillary dental arch. William r. profsit research also demonstrated that an overly narrow maxillary arch is generally associated with a lower lingual position, with the tongue occupying only a portion of the space of the palate.

When the tongue is in the correct position, a force is applied mainly upward and forward to the jaw bone, which may guide the jaw bone to grow horizontally, not vertically. Recent researches show that after tongue muscle function training, cranio-maxillofacial morphology and tongue position of Anshi III malocclusion children are obviously changed, and mandible of children patients rotates anticlockwise; the back of the tongue is obviously raised, and the position of the tongue tip is obviously moved backwards. This further verifies that a low-lying tongue may be a cause of class III angler malocclusion.

The 'tongue corrector (201820353762.3)' patent provides a correction device for correcting the position of the tongue body with a light structure, but has the following disadvantages: 1. the wearing comfort is poor, fine line structures such as nylon silk threads, rubber bands and the like easily stimulate mucous membranes of the tongue body, and the compliance of a patient is poor in the long-term wearing process; 2. the dentition cannot be aligned.
