Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a soother in which the shaft-like connection between the absorbent body and the suction plate is made of a flexible material.
  • soothers usually have a sucking or sucking body, which is held by the child in the mouth. About a shaft-like connection, which is passed between the anterior teeth, the absorbent body is connected to a suction plate.
  • the nipple plate - also known as the lip shield - rests from the outside on the child's lips and ensures a secure fit, so that the soother can not be swallowed.
  • the absorbent and the connection to the suction plate are usually made of soft, flexible material such as rubber or soft elastomers.
  • the absorbent body is movable relative to the suction plate.
  • the also flexible connection can adapt to the passage between the anterior rows to some extent, depending on how thick this shaft is actually executed.
  • the invention proposes that the connection between the absorbent body and suction plate is designed substantially force-free deformable, limp.
  • substantially force-free deformable is to be understood in the context of the invention that when deforming (bending) of the compound - as occurs when clenching between the anterior rows - only forces of the first biological efficiency are required, ie in the orthodontic context only subliminal powers.
  • a so-called pliable component also known as dimensionally unstable, form-labile or non-dimensionally stable element, which is characterized by a low modulus of elasticity, low compressive stiffness and large deformations due to low force and moment load.
  • the reaction forces acting on the rows of teeth when biting together are very small. Forces of this size are not suitable even for hundreds of swallowing daily, to effect rebuilding operations in the bone or on the dental arches.
  • the compound may take any form. This eliminates harmful reaction forces in all directions.
  • a connection is used between the absorbent body and the suction plate, which compound is already so thin in the embodiment that the molars can meet one another, without a thick shaft hindering this in the anterior region.
  • material is used whose deformation requires only biologically subliminal forces, which are not suitable for hundreds of swallowing operations daily, to effect rebuilding operations in the bone or on the dental arches.
  • the force distribution pattern should be considered.
  • the compound may consist of an elastomer.
  • Manufacturing technology it is particularly advantageous that the compound consists of a thermoplastic material, such as a polymer. This allows a favorable production in injection molding.
  • the compound may consist of synthetic fibers.
  • the use of thin fibers, preferably in a fiber bundle or fabric, ensures a high load capacity combined with high ductility and flexibility. Thus, a pliable connection can be made particularly well.
  • Particularly advantageous is a combination of different materials.
  • the product requirements can be matched as best as possible.
  • high-strength synthetic fibers made of Kevlar®, Mylar® or the like ensure a high breaking strength of the compound, which is particularly important so that the absorbent body is not torn off and swallowed can be.
  • a soft, biocompatible, health-safe material should be used, which ensures the acceptance of the soother.
  • the fibers may be configured as fiber bundles, preferably as a fabric web. Due to the design of the fabric composite, the requirements for strength and flexibility can be further optimized.
  • the fibers or the fabric are preferably combined with another material, i. inserted or embedded.
  • another material i. inserted or embedded.
  • polyester fabric may be embedded in silicone.
  • almost any fibers, fiber bundles or fabrics can be embedded by injection molding in a thermoplastic elastomer.
  • connection should have dimensions optimally adapted to the physiognomy of the child. According to the growth of the child, the connection may have different length, thickness and width.
  • connection is designed as a cord, a nearly force-free flexibility in all directions can be achieved.
  • the compound may have a hollow channel, preferably running in the longitudinal direction in the middle. As a result, it is easier to deform in cross section.
  • the compound may be made in one piece with the absorbent body alternatively, multiple components may optionally be combined with one another from different materials.
  • the absorbent body can be adapted by shaping its shape and dimensions to different childlike physiognomies. The fact that, for example, the distal, phacemose end expires flat, the forces exerted by the tongue when sucking on the rows of teeth are minimized.
  • the absorbent body can be designed as a hollow body, so that it is easily deformable, that is Ottquetschbar. Alternatively, he can be massive.
  • suction plate Conventional suction pads are extensively on the mouth and face.
  • the suction plates At the same time, they require a prescribed minimum size so that they can not be swallowed or aspirated by the child. In order to maximally counteract the development of an open-mouth bite, it is necessary to counteract even the least directed forces (from the back against the anterior teeth).
  • the suction plate according to the invention is preferably also optimally adapted to the child's physiognomy, by an elongated, curved shape, preferably rectangular with rounded edges or oval.
  • the suction plate may have an outer peripheral frame.
  • the suction plate When sucking on the soother, the suction plate is pulled towards the oral cavity, via lips, thus on the front teeth. Thus, it counteracts the fanning out and protrusion of the front teeth, that is, the emergence of a lurid bite, apriori. Since, however, due to the prescribed minimum size of the suction plate, the fanning out of the front teeth counteracting forces distribute on a large contact surface, the positive effect evaporates.
  • the inner part of the suction plate is deliberately kept small by the outer circumferential frame. It corresponds in size and shape to the size and shape of the two anterior rows and is also much smaller than conventional suction plates. Thus, the inward forces that occur during suction concentrate on the lips and thus on the anterior teeth. The emergence of a sore mouth bite can be countered more effectively.
  • the larger frame compared to the suction plate reliably prevents accidental ingestion.
  • the peripheral frame may be attached to a plurality of, preferably 2 to 10, points on the inner sucker plate.
  • Fig.1 shows the soother according to the invention in a view from the outside. In this view, one looks at the suction plate 2. Furthermore, the outside of the suction plate 2 encircling frame 4 can be seen. The frame 4 is connected at the top and bottom - at two points - with the suction plate 2. Reference numeral 5 designates a handle fastened on the outside of the sucker plate 2.
  • Fig.2 shows the teat according to the invention from the inside, ie seen from the throat side.
  • the flexible connection 3 according to the invention and the symmetrical, lenticular absorbent body 1.
  • the absorbent body 1 alone by its weight hanging on the connection 3 slack down.
  • We according to the invention achieved in that the compound 3 is almost force-free deformable, so it is designed sluggish.
  • Figure 3 shows the reamer according to the invention in plan view, the arrangement of absorbent body 1, suction plate 2, compound 3 and handle 5 is again illustrated.
  • the invention relates to a pacifier in which the connection between the absorbent body (1) and the suction plate (2) consists of a flexible material, the flexible connection (3).
  • Object of the present invention is to prevent the formation of anomalies by using a soother.
  • This object is achieved in that a connection between the absorbent body and the suction plate is used, which is so thin even in the embodiment that the molars can meet each other, without this in the anterior region of a thick shaft impedes this.
  • a material is used for its deformation only biologically subliminal forces are required, which are not suitable for hundreds of swallowing operations daily, to effect rebuilding operations in the bone or on the dental arches.
  • the force distribution pattern should be considered. Particular importance is attached to the design of the suction plate.
  • Conventional suction pads are extensively on the mouth and face. The pads require a prescribed minimum size, so they can not be swallowed or aspirated by the child. In order to maximally counteract the development of an open-mouth bite, it is necessary to counteract even the least directed forces (from the back against the anterior teeth).
  • the suction plate When sucking on the soother, the suction plate is pulled towards the oral cavity, via lips, thus on the front teeth. Thus, it counteracts the fanning out and protrusion of the front teeth, that is, the emergence of a lurid bite, apriori.
  • the fanning out of the front teeth counteracting forces distribute on an excessively large contact surface, the effect evaporates.
  • the inner part of the sucker plate is deliberately kept small. It corresponds in size and shape of the size and shape of the two anterior rows and is also much smaller than conventional suction plates. Thus, the inward forces that occur during suction concentrate on the lips and thus on the anterior teeth. The emergence of a sore mouth bite can be countered more effectively.
