Description

Nose Self Corrector{DEVICE FOR CORRECTION NOSE}

The present invention relates to a nose self-bracer, and more particularly, to a nose self-bracer configured to enable a user of the corrector to self-correct his deformed nose cartilage.

The human nose is one of the most important body organs as an intake channel for air, and it serves not only to smell, but also to heat the air supplied to the lungs to a temperature suitable for the lungs to receive.

The nose includes the nasal bones of the skull, cartilage attached to the nasal bones, and muscle and skin tissue surrounding it.

1 is an internal structural view of a body face part, and the nasal shell 140 and the sinuses 120 and 130 are positioned around the central cartilage 100 constituting the nose.

According to otolaryngologists, there are two main factors that can deform the human cartilage:

First, the newborn baby is still very soft with bones and cartilage, and can be easily deformed. When the newborn is born, the head comes out through the mother's pelvis, so the protruding nose is somewhat affected by the pressure applied from the mother's pelvis. It can be transformed.

Thus, the shape of the central cartilage inside the nasal cavity is slightly different from person to person.

As another factor, the cartilage 100 located in the central portion of the nose may be bent to one side by an impact applied from the outside during the growth process.

When the central cartilage 100 of the nose is curved to one side in the nasal cavity due to these various factors, as a result, the space between the curved cartilage portion 105 and the inner lateral portion 110 of the nose or the turbinate 140 It becomes narrow.

When the nasal cavity is narrowed as described above, the speed of air supplied into the narrowed nasal cavity increases, and the mucous membrane inside the nasal cavity is likely to be dry, thereby increasing the possibility of nasal colds and rhinitis, especially in winter when the temperature is low. .

As a result, rhinitis, that is, inflammation generated inside the nasal cavity and curved cartilage, even narrows the nasal cavity almost as if it were almost blocked.

As described above, the nasal cavity not only serves as a passage for supplying air to the lungs, but also circulates outside air into the sinuses 120 and 130 communicating with the nasal cavity, thereby releasing heat generated from the brain, eyes, ears, etc. It provides cooling function.

Therefore, if the narrowing of one nasal cavity persists for a long period of time, a person feels very frustrated, and may also cause various symptoms such as fatigue of the eyes and brain, headache, decreased concentration, and eye redness.

In order to correct the cartilage of the bent nose for various reasons, surgical treatment is performed by a specialized hospital and a doctor.

However, surgical treatment has a risk of causing various side effects due to anesthesia and incision of body tissues, and often costs and time for surgery and recovery thereafter.

The present inventor has directly experienced the discomfort of living for a long time in a state where one nasal cavity is narrowed due to a curved nose bone, and has tried and tried various methods to solve it for a long time, and the present invention is a result of such various attempts and worries. It is done.

The present inventor looked at the idea that the shape could be corrected by repeatedly applying pressure in the direction of correcting the central cartilage, just as the shape is deformed when an external impact is applied to the central cartilage of the nose. Created the invention.

As if a tooth is corrected, the cartilage constituting the nose will be deformed if the force is applied repeatedly in one direction, as if the tooth is gradually changed when the brace is applied to the tooth for a long time. I thought.

However, as a result of repeated tests of the present inventors, it has been found that when pressure is applied to the cartilage of the central portion of the nose repeatedly over a long period of time, the shape of the cartilage gradually changes little by little, thereby enabling self-correction of the cartilage of the nose.

2 to 7, the nose self-correcting device according to the present invention is a nose self-correcting device for correcting the cartilage of the nose, the front insertion portion 10 for intranasal insertion, and the rear of the front insertion portion 10 It includes a rear body portion 20 formed on, and a handle portion 50 formed on the rear of the rear body portion 20, the front insertion portion 10 and the rear body portion 20 and the handle portion ( 50) is formed integrally, the handle portion 50 is formed longer than the front insertion portion 10, the front insertion portion 10 is inserted into the nasal cavity and in contact with the skin inside the nasal cavity, the rear It is configured to apply a force to the inner portion of the nasal cavity by applying force to the body portion 20 and the handle portion 50, the front insertion portion 10, the front insertion portion 10 is the rear body from the tip portion (T) It is characterized in that it is formed to have a circular cross section of a diameter that gradually increases as it goes toward the boundary portion (C) with the portion (20).

In the present invention, the term "correction" does not mean that the cartilage of the central portion of the nose is correctly held in a strict sense, but rather, the narrowed nasal cavity is widened in order to resolve the tightness of one nasal cavity due to deformation of the cartilage of the central portion of the nose. It means that it deforms the cartilage of the nose towards the losing side.

That is, it means that the cartilage of the central portion of the nose protruding into the narrowed nasal cavity is deformed by expanding the nasal cavity by inserting a force into the narrowed nasal cavity by inserting the force by inserting the front insertion portion 10 of the nose self-correcting device according to the present invention.

The anterior insertion portion 10 is a portion for insertion into the nasal cavity, and the whole is formed in a circular cross-sectional shape.

In the front insertion portion, the foremost portion of the tip portion T is formed to have the narrowest width (diameter), and is gradually formed to have a larger width (diameter) toward the rear body portion 20.

Thus, the tip portion (T) of the front insertion portion 10 is formed by a very narrow width, so that the inside of the nasal cavity is very narrow due to the deformation of the nose cartilage, the tip portion (T) of the front insertion portion 10 It can be easily inserted into the nasal cavity.

The front end portion T of the front insertion portion 10 is formed to have a smooth curved cross section of a substantially circular arc on the side cross section.

In addition, the width t of the portion T'where the circular arc starts is formed in a range of 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm.

In the state in which the width t of the portion where the circular arc starts (T') is formed in the above range, as shown in FIG. 3, the front portion of the portion where the circular arc starts (T') is an arc on a side cross-section. It is formed in the shape of.

When the width of the portion where the circular arc starts (T') is formed to be less than 1.5 mm, the tip portion T becomes excessively sharp and may cause wounds and infections on the skin inside the soft and very sensitive nasal cavity.

In addition, when the width of the portion where the circular arc starts (T') is greater than 3.5 mm, in the case of a person whose nasal cartilage is very narrow due to deformed cartilage of the nose, the anterior insertion portion 10 is not gently inserted into the nasal cavity. Failure to do so may result in pain in insertion.

The present inventor forms a very narrow nasal cavity by forming the tip portion T in a cross-sectional shape of an arc on a side cross-section, with the width of the portion T'where the circular arc starts at the tip portion T as the above range. It has been found that the front insert 10 can also be gently inserted into the inside, and does not cause any damage to the soft skin inside the nasal cavity by the force applied upon insertion.

In addition, the front insertion portion 10 is formed to have a circular cross-section of a diameter that gradually increases as it moves toward the rear (the front portion and the rear body portion boundary portion) from the front end portion T, so that the front insertion portion 10 Even if any part comes into contact with the skin inside the soft nasal cavity, partial pressure can be prevented from being concentrated.

The rear body portion 20 is formed in a circular cross section of a constant diameter along the longitudinal direction.

The rear body portion 20 serves as a handle together with the handle portion 50, and also by applying a strong force to the rear body portion 20, the nose of the nose through the side of the front insertion portion 10 It is configured to apply pressure to the cartilage.

Therefore, the front insertion portion 10 is formed in a substantially long conical shape, and the rear body portion 20 is formed in a long cylindrical shape, so that the front insertion portion 10 and the rear body portion 20 can be smoothly connected. have.

In addition, the front insertion portion 10 is formed in a substantially long conical shape, but is not formed in the vicinity of the boundary portion C with the rear body portion 20, and is formed to be connected to a continuous surface on the side cross-section. .

When a large force is applied through the rear body portion 20, when the concave portion is formed near the boundary portion C of the front insertion portion 10 and the rear body portion 20, the concave portion is notched It has the same effect as (Notch), and may cause deformation or damage in the vicinity of the recess.

Therefore, a notch such as a concave portion is formed at the boundary between the front insertion portion 10 and the rear body portion 20 so that a large force can be applied to the front insertion portion 10 through the rear body portion 20. It is not formed, it is preferable to form a smooth connection.

Thus, the force applied to the anterior insertion portion 10 that is inserted into the nasal cavity and applies pressure to the cartilage of the nose, the rear portion and the rear body portion 20 of the anterior insertion portion 10 gradually formed into a larger diameter ) By supporting the part, it is configured to prevent bending of the nose brace according to the present invention even when a large force for cartilage deformation is applied.

In view of this, the length L1 of the front insert 10 is formed in the range of 2.5 cm to 6 cm.

The length L1 of the front insertion portion 10 is the length from the front end portion T of the front insertion portion 10 to the boundary portion C of the front insertion portion 10 and the rear body portion 20. it means.

In FIG. 3, when the front insertion portion 10 formed in a substantially conical shape is formed longer than 6 cm, the front insertion portion (by the strong force (reaction force) applied to the front portion of the front insertion portion 10 ( 10) There is a problem that can bend.

In addition, when the front insert 10 is formed with a length of less than 2.5 cm, the length from the tip portion T to the boundary portion C becomes too small, so that the cross section of the front insert 10 The diameter increases too sharply toward the boundary portion (C).

Thus, it is impossible to gently insert the anterior insertion portion 10 deep into the narrowed nasal cavity.

Of the cartilage located in the middle of both nose holes inside the nose, the cartilage located near the mouth of the nose hole is not fixed to the nose bone of the skull, so even if the position is changed by the impact, it is returned to the original position.

However, in the case of cartilage firmly fixed to the nasal bone of the skull, when its position is changed by an external impact, it cannot be returned to the original position again due to the action with the nasal bone and is fixed to the changed position.

Therefore, the deformation of the nasal cartilage that is fixed in a narrowed state of the nasal cavity of a person is a part that is deep into the nose from the mouth of the nose hole (approximately 5 cm or so), and thus the front insert 10 into the depth as described above ) To apply the force to the cartilage in the inserted state can exert a corrective effect on the deformed cartilage.

Therefore, when the length of the front insertion portion 10 is made smaller than 2.5 cm, there is a problem that it is difficult to smoothly insert the front insertion portion 10 to a deep portion inside the nasal cavity.

In addition, when the front insertion portion 10 is inserted into the nose, the front insertion portion 10 that comes into contact with the curved portion of the cartilage of the middle portion of the nose is the front portion of the front insertion portion 10, and the front insertion portion 10 By setting the length of) to the above range, the diameter of the anterior insertion portion 10 of the portion in contact with the curved cartilage of the nose becomes an appropriate size, and pain is reduced even when a large force is applied.

If, when the diameter of the anterior insertion portion 10 contacting the curved cartilage portion of the nose becomes too small, there is a problem in that the pressure acting on the cartilage is greatly increased and pain increases when a force is applied through the hand.

In this regard, as shown in FIG. 3, the width (diameter) of the front end portion 10 toward the rear body portion 20 toward the rear body portion 20 may be formed to increase in width (diameter) linearly. As shown in the figure, the width may be increased in a shape similar to a parabola on the side cross section.

In this case, even if the tip portion (T) portion of the anterior insertion portion 10 enters a small distance into the narrowed nasal cavity by bending the cartilage, the width (diameter) of the anterior insertion portion 10 contacting the skin of the cartilage portion of the nose ) Increases, and even when a large force is applied, the pressure applied to the skin of the cartilage portion of the nose can be dispersedly reduced (because the contact area becomes large), thereby reducing pain.

The front insertion portion 10 and the rear body portion 20 are formed in a solid shape so that no space is formed therein, so that they are not deformed by strong force.

In order to sufficiently support the force acting on the front insertion portion 10 as described above, the rear body portion 20 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a circular cross section in a diameter range of 6 mm to 10 mm.

When the rear body portion 20 is formed in a diameter range of 6 mm or less, it does not sufficiently support a strong force for deforming cartilage, and a problem occurs in that the nose self-correcting device according to the present invention formed of a synthetic resin material is bent. do.

In addition, if the rear body portion 20 is formed with a diameter larger than 10 mm, the boundary portion C of the front body portion 10 and the rear body portion 20 cannot smoothly enter the nasal cavity. The case arises.

By inserting the front insertion portion 10 deep into the nasal cavity, the boundary portion C may also be inserted into the nasal cavity.

However, if the rear body portion 20 is formed with a diameter larger than 10 mm, the effect of preventing deformation by supporting the force may be exhibited, but the boundary portion C is difficult to be inserted into the nasal cavity. Is generated.

Therefore, by forming the rear body portion 20 in a circular cross section, by forming the diameter in the above range, the boundary portion (C) can be smoothly entered into the nasal cavity, if necessary, while the front insertion portion (10) It can strongly support the force transmitted through and prevent deformation.

Since the vicinity of the boundary portion C of the front insertion portion 10 and the rear body portion 20 may be inserted into the nasal cavity, the rear body portion 20 near the boundary portion C is in the form of a cylinder having a circular cross section. It is formed, the rest of the area to the end (E) of the rear body portion 20 may be formed in the form of a column of an angled cross section of a square or octagonal cross section.

In the vicinity of the boundary portion (C), the meaning of the "near" in that the rear body portion 20 is formed in a cylindrical shape of a circular cross section, the end portion of the rear body portion 20 from the boundary portion (C) ( Means a range from 4 cm to 7 cm towards E).

On the other hand, in the nose self-correcting device according to the present invention, the portion that contacts the skin of the cartilage portion of the nose and applies a large force is the front insertion portion 10, and the rear body portion 20 contacts the skin of the entrance portion of the nose hole do.

Since the skin at the entrance portion of the nose hole is less sensitive than the skin surrounding the cartilage portion of the deep portion inside the nose, the rear body portion 20 may be formed without a cylindrical shape having a circular cross section.

Accordingly, the entire rear body portion 20 may be formed in a column shape having an angled cross section of a square or octagonal cross section.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6, the upper and lower portions of the circular cross-section may be formed in a straight cross-sectional shape, and as a result, the side portion may have a circular cross-sectional shape.

When the rear body portion 20 is formed of various types of cross-sectional areas, the cross-sectional area of 3 × 3 × 3.14 (㎟) or more and 5 × 5 × 3.14 (㎟) or less is formed when the large force acts It is preferable to ensure that the boundary portion C smoothly enters the nasal cavity while not being deformed.

The front insertion portion 10, the rear body portion 20 and the handle portion 50 are integrally formed of a synthetic resin material such as polyethylene or polypropylene.

In the case of a mucous membrane inside the nasal cavity, when the temperature decreases, it has a swelling characteristic and may cause nasal discharge.

If a metal material having high thermal conductivity is contacted with the skin inside the nasal cavity for a few minutes to perform the corrective action, and transfers heat, a person with a low body immunity may cause a cold.

Therefore, the front insertion portion 10, the rear body portion 20 and the handle portion 50 are integrally formed as a synthetic resin as a whole, so that the heat transfer from the skin in the nasal cavity is small, and the mucous membrane inside the nasal cavity expands and generates nasal water. It is configured to prevent.

Inside the front insertion portion 10 and the rear body portion 20 (radial center portion in the cross-section) with a metal rod (not shown) for reinforcing the supporting force, the front insertion portion 10 outside the ) And the rear body portion 20 may be formed, but at least the surface portions of the front insertion portion 10 and the rear body portion 20 that are in direct contact with the skin inside the nasal cavity are formed of a synthetic resin material having low heat transfer characteristics. desirable.

And, the nose self-correcting apparatus according to the present invention is formed in a total length (L1 + L2 + L3) of 20 cm to 26 cm.

When the total length is less than 20 cm, the anterior insertion portion 10 is inserted into the nasal cavity, and the degree of exertion of cartilage is exerted while holding the rear body portion 20 and the handle portion 50 by hand. It is difficult to exert great power.

During the actual calibration operation, the front insertion portion 10 is inserted into the nose hole up to the vicinity of the boundary portion C, and the thumb and index finger of one hand usually hold the rear body portion 20 near the boundary portion C. do.

In order to change the position of the cartilage through the nose self-correcting device according to the present invention, as described above, the rear body part 20 and the handle are inserted in the state where the anterior insertion part 10 is inserted up to the cartilage part fixed to the nose bone. You must apply force to wealth (50).

At this time, when applying a force to the rear body portion 20 and the handle portion 50 with one hand of the user of the corrector according to the present invention, it is difficult to apply sufficient force, and the position of the corrector is finely applied in the process of applying the force. It is difficult to control the change.

That is, pressing the cartilage to a desired position in the nasal cavity is a very sensitive operation, and when a force is applied to the anterior insertion portion 10 beyond the intended position, a force is applied to the nasal shell 140 inside the nasal cavity. , In this case, you will feel great pain.

In addition, since the nasal shell 140 is composed of very soft and soft tissue, it may cause inflammation due to wounds.

Therefore, in order to carefully insert the anterior insertion portion 10 deep into the nasal cavity and exert a strong force to deform the cartilage while carefully adjusting the position, a corrector user according to the present invention allows the rear body portion 20 to And handle 50 must be applied with both hands.

Therefore, in order for both hands of the person to be formed to hold the rear body portion 20 and the handle portion 50, it is preferable that the length of the entire straightener is 20 cm or more.

In addition, in order to carefully adjust the position while applying a large force, it is advantageous to apply a force in a state where the two hands are partially overlapped, rather than a state in which the two hands are spaced apart from each other and hold the rear body 20.

That is, in the case of a right-handed user, most of them hold the rear part of the rear body part 20 and the front part of the handle part 50 with the right hand first (the thumb of the right hand of the rear body part 20 near the boundary part C). In the state where the index finger is held), the thumb and index finger part of the left hand overlap with the index finger or the ring finger part of the right hand, and the grip part 50 is held as the ring finger and the minor finger part of the left hand, and the front insertion part 10 with the right hand Adjusting the position of the left hand and simultaneously applying force with the right hand, it is advantageous to carefully adjust the position while applying a large force.

Moreover, the skin inside the nasal cavity is very sensitive, and when the anterior insertion portion 10 exerts a force on the nasal shell 140 inside the nasal cavity, it causes pain. To this end, as in the case of golf putting, a person almost intuitively exerts a force with a part of both hands overlapping.

Therefore, when the total length of the nose self-bracer is formed to be less than 20 cm, it is difficult to apply a large force required for the correction work while holding the rear body portion 20 and the handle portion 50 with both hands. .

However, if the total length is larger than 26 cm, the length of the straightener becomes too long, and there is a disadvantage that it is easy to hit an external object during the straightening operation.

In order to use the corrector according to the present invention, in order to confirm whether or not the front insert 10 is inserted into the nasal cavity to a certain extent while maintaining a stable posture, looking at a mirror of a scale and a number for distance display formed in the corrector It is required to confirm.

In addition, in order to prevent infection due to the front insert 10 contacting the skin in the nasal cavity, the front insert 10 portion is required to be sterilized prior to use.

And, in order to gently insert the front insert 10 into the nasal cavity, it is also required to apply a lubricant such as vaseline to the front insert 10 portion.

By the way, in the state in which the front insert 10 is inserted into the nasal cavity, it is difficult to check the end portion E of the corrector with the user's field of view, if the total length of the corrector is greater than 26 cm, this The process of inserting the brace according to the invention into the nasal cavity or after insertion, the end (E) of the brace may unexpectedly contact a mirror, alcohol bottle, lubricant container or others.

Therefore, by forming the entire length in the above range, it is possible to prevent the end portion E of the rear body portion 20 from unexpectedly colliding with another object or person.

More preferably from this standpoint, the entire length of the straightener is formed in the range of 21 cm to 25 cm.

On the other hand, the front insert 10 or the rear body portion 20 is displayed with a scale or number for indicating the distance from the front end portion (T) of the front insert 10, preferably the scale and the number It is displayed together.

By displaying the scale and the number as described above, the corrector user can check the depth in which the anterior insertion portion 10 is inserted into his or her nasal cavity through a mirror.

A person cannot know for himself which part of his cartilage is deformed.

Therefore, the position where the cartilage is deformed can be transmitted through a doctor using a nasal endoscope in a hospital.

In this case, the method of receiving the deformed position 105 of the central portion cartilage 100 can be delivered numerically to the extent to which the cartilage portion 100 of the middle part of the nose is deformed from the nose hole.

That is, since a person cannot look into the inside of his nose, a method to objectively and clearly receive the deformed position 105 is to express the depth from the nose hole numerically.

Therefore, by allowing the distance from the tip portion T to be checked through a scale or a number as described above, whether or not the tip portion T is inserted at a certain depth from the mouth of the nose through the mirror user himself or herself. It becomes possible to confirm.

Preferably, the start portion 30 (eg, “5”) of the scale or number is formed at a predetermined distance from the front end portion T of the front insert 10, and the rest of the scale and numbers are located at the rear. It is formed toward the end portion (D) of the body portion 20.

Typically, as a method for forming the scale and the number, the scale and the number are displayed using ink on the surface of the calibrator, or the scale and the number are formed at an intaglio at a portion where the scale and the number are to be formed. A method of filling and displaying ink on a portion is used.

However, the skin inside the nose is formed of a mucous membrane and has very sensitive and pain-sensitive characteristics. In the case of forming the scale and numbers as intaglio, the nose and the corners of the figures formed as intaglio apply the force for correction in the nose. It can put a lot of pressure on the skin inside.

In addition, since the runny nose and mucus are distributed on the surface of the nasal skin, the mucous membrane may be absorbed when a fine particle material such as ink is applied, which is undesirable in a long-term repeated orthodontic operation.

Therefore, it is not preferable in terms of damage to the skin mucous membrane and skin contamination in the nasal cavity due to ink to form a scale and a number at a position close to the tip T of the front insert 10.

Therefore, preferably, the start portion 30 of the scale or number starts from an area of 4 cm or more and 7 cm or less from the tip portion T of the front insertion portion 10, after the rear body portion 20 It is formed toward the end (D).

Thus, it is possible to prevent skin contamination in the nasal cavity by ink and body penetration of ink components due to long-term repeated use, and may occur when a scale and a numeric part formed by engraving contact the sensitive skin inside the nasal cavity and apply force. It is configured to prevent skin damage and inflammation.

Although, in FIG. 2, it is illustrated that the scale or the number starts at a distance of 5 cm from the tip portion T, but is not limited thereto, and may start from the 4 or 7 number and the scale at a distance of 4 cm or 7 cm. .

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6, the distance from the tip portion T is displayed as a dot, but the number of dots may be displayed at different predetermined distances.

That is, in a state where the distance between the points is set to 1 cm, if the position of the first one point is displayed at a distance of 5 cm from the tip T, the two points may be displayed at a distance of 6 cm.

The start portion 30 of the scale or number may be formed near the boundary portion C where the front insertion portion 10 and the rear body portion 20 meet.

The meaning of the vicinity of the boundary portion (C) that meets is preferably a 1 cm range from the boundary portion (C) toward the tip portion (T), and the rear end portion of the rear body portion (20) from the boundary portion (C). The range of 2 cm is preferable toward (D).

On the other hand, by forming the handle portion 50 in the shape of a column having a square or hexagonal or octagonal cross section, it becomes easier to apply force while holding the handle portion 50.

In addition, even when the nose corrector according to the present invention is placed on the floor such as a table, it is possible to prevent the front insertion portion 10 from contacting the floor.

When using the nose brace according to the present invention, it is preferable to apply a lubricant such as petroleum jelly to the front insert 10 to reduce the contact pressure applied upon contact with the skin inside the sensitive nose.

Because, when a strong force is applied by inserting the anterior insertion portion 10 into the nose, the anterior insertion portion 10 strongly compresses the skin inside the nose. , By this breathing, the anterior insertion portion 10 and the skin inside the nose are also flowed.

In particular, while strongly pressing the front insert 10 against the skin inside the nose, the front insert 10 is fixed to a specific position inside the nose through the hand of a person. If the skin flows microscopically, it can cause skin damage and bleeding inside the nose, which is accompanied by pain.

Therefore, in order to prevent skin damage and bleeding due to micro-flow of the skin inside the nose due to breathing, the anterior nasal portion 10 is disinfected with a disinfectant, and then a lubricant such as vaseline is applied to the surface of the nasal cavity. It is desirable to insert.

However, when the lubricant is applied to the front insert 10 and placed on a table or a floor, the front insert 10 may contact the table or the floor and the lubricant may be contaminated.

This is not desirable in terms of prevention of infection, and in order to prevent such contamination, the nose braces must be held by hand or mounted on a specific object so that the front insert 10 does not touch the floor.

However, when mounted on a specific object, since the front insert 10 and the rear body 20 are formed in a circular cross-sectional shape, the corrector according to the present invention rolls and falls, so that the lubricant of the front insert 10 Can be contaminated.

Therefore, by forming the handle portion 50 in the form of a prismatic column, it is also easy to apply a force using a finger and prevent the front insertion portion 10 from contacting the floor while preventing the rolling of the orthodontic device. have.

By using the nose self-corrector according to the present invention configured as described above, the user of the nose self-corrector can directly deform the cartilage of the nose while self-calibrating while checking the depth at which the corrector is inserted.

Thus, the cartilage of the nose can be corrected without surgery to correct the nasal cartilage.

In addition, while the brace according to the present invention can be gently inserted into the nasal cavity, a strong force can be applied to enhance the effect of nasal cartilage correction.

In addition, the brace is configured to not bend easily even under strong pressure applied to the front insert 10, so that the principal can be used for a long time.

In addition, it is configured to minimize the effect on the nasal tissue to prevent skin damage and contamination surrounding the nasal cartilage.

In addition, it is easy to apply force during self-correction and is configured to minimize the possibility of hitting an external object, thereby improving the effect of correction and preventing injury and pain due to carelessness.

As described above, although the present invention has been described by a limited number of embodiments and drawings, the technical spirit of the present invention is not limited to these, and by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, Various modifications and variations will be possible within the scope of the following claims.

10: front insert
20: rear body
