Orthodontic pacifier for_infants_and

Toddlers

The invention relates to an orthodontic pacifier for babies and toddlers o These exist essentially - as is generally known - from a sucking bag made of elastic rubber, the suction plate «, a connector and a sing ο. -. . .

. So far, two different types of pacifiers are known?

■■■; .-. A simple shape in which the lozenge or lozenge The suction plate, which is a To prevent swallowing of the lollipop is round »

The second form is commonly referred to as an orthodontic appliance? anatomically, the lollipop is here according to the orthodontic requirements: shaped accordingly {German patent specification Ö2Ö 2ÖÖ) <, "This device has the" disadvantage that, in order to be effective, it must always be inserted in the correct position in the mouth! since the siphon is shaped differently in the upper part than in the lower part _o In practice it has now been shown that the children and / or »babies often put this pacifier upside down in their mouths, which not only negates the orthodontic properties, but also negatively influences them

The suction plates are known to all «, simple "and orthodontic constructions designed so that the possibility exists, this suction plate in the upper or to store the child's lower oral vestibule »

The new pacifier corresponds to the orthodontic requirements, regardless of whether it is turned up or down when it is inserted into the mouth » It is equipped with a suction plate where it is impossible is to store them in the upper or lower oral vestibule »

The subject of the invention is accordingly an orthodontic pacifier for infants and toddlers, which is characterized by a sucking body with a corrugated surface and a flat "lip part" and a suction plate which is so large and shaped that it only touches the lips in the central area , in the lateral region but projects, that it is not in the oral vestibule. 'can be stored "

In the drawings are embodiments of the invention

shown \ -

The wavy surface texture of the lollipop L (a in Abbo 1 and 2) stimulates the activity of the tongue « It serves thereby as a stimulant to increase the motor function of the tongue, whereby physiological favorable formative stimuli for regular jaw growth is induced »Observations in adolescents and adults indicate that the The tip of the tongue strives to sew contact with the palatal ridges «, - With infants and toddlers it is therefore to be expected that the tendency to want to reach the corrugated surface of the lollipop with the tip of the tongue is particularly pronounced favorable to the mandibular backrest, which is often present postnatally in the sense of a 'advance development of the lower jaw. ■■; ■ .- ■

Apart from the favorable influence on the development of the jaw, the wavy lollipop serves to distract the infant or toddler and thus contributes to the rapid calming _o

The flat shape of the lip part of the sucking body (b in Fig ο 1 and 2) corresponds to dental orthodontic requirements with regard to the prevention of the jaw and Zahnstellungsdeformitätenο The cross section .of the lip portion of the sucking body is in this area designed ρ that he physiological Euhelage of Lower jaw does not bother ^ so no vertical anomalies in the tendon area (especially open bite) are to be expected

The shape of the nipple plate (SP in Abbo 3) allows the nipple to be inserted in an upward or downward rotated position _s without the prominence of the tip of the nose changing its position ο

In known constructions, a pacifier inserted into the mouth in a twisted manner resulted in the pacifier plate was forced into an abnormal position by the tip of the nose, which inevitably resulted in an unphysiological one Location of the lollipop in the oral cavity, which is the The emergence of dentition anomalies significantly promoted and thus was contrary to the actual purpose of the suction cup »

. ■ '. The size and shape of the suction plate do not allow the suction plate to be inserted into the upper or lower oral vestibule. ^:

With all known constructions there was the possibility given, the suction plate in the upper or lower oral vestibule to store, = This bad posture in turn led to a disorientation of the position of the actual lollipop with the unfavorable consequences described above «-

The shape of the suction plate is like this. designed so that it only touches the lips in the middle area (c in Abbo 1/2 and 3) _s but protrudes in the lateral area (Abbe 3, dj "'This means that the suction plate (SP) is shaped like the so-called oral atrial plate or lip shield, a form .- which can be considered dental orthodontic

Apparatus "in the early treatment of tooth position and Jaw position anomalies has already proven its worth o

In the presence of such dentition anomalies, which are particularly caused by the frequent finger-sucking of small children, "these can be treated by the pacifier plate that is only placed in the middle of the lip." The balance between lip pressure ^ which is often inadequate in suckling babies _? and tongue pressure is restored and existing dentition anomalies are favorably influenced o

According to the advancing jaw size the pacifier manufactured in different sizes »

The sucking bodies according to the invention can also be used as bottle teats when eating., The suction plate and the inlet are omitted here ₀

Fig ο 4 and 5 represent an embodiment of the invention .For the shape of the bottle nipple, you can show it in the Cross-section A and B rotated by 90 ° «, a is the corrugated surface structure ;, b the flat lollipop attachment and c the reinforced front tip around the oval shaped lollipop to give a certain stability = "· .-
