Adjustable oral cavity orthopedic appliance

Abstract

The invention relates to an adjustable nonnasality appliance, comprising a movable rod (1), a sleeve (2), an adjusting nut (3) and an adjusting screw (4); the sleeve movably passes through the axial perforation (11) of the movable rod (1); furthermore, mutual position limit of the sleeve (2) and the axial perforation (11) is carried out by the external convex shoulder (21) at the internal end of the sleeve (2) and the internal shoulder blade (111) at the end of the perforation (11); the adjusting nut (3) is fixed at the external end of the sleeve (2); the adjusting screw (4) is inserted into the sleeve (2) and connected with the adjusting nut by screw thread; the external end of the movable rod (1) is provided with a first connecting head (12); the external end of the adjusting screw (4) is provided with a second connecting head (41). When in use, the connecting heads of the movable rod and the adjusting screw are respectively fixed with tooth sockets which are sheathed on the upper teeth and the lower teeth; the appliance of the invention supports the upper teeth and the lower teeth, ensures the nonnasality to have a certain opening angle, adjusts the length of the adjusting screw extending into the sleeve by adjusting the relative rotation of the adjusting screw and the sleeve, and realizes the adjustment on the minimum opening angle of the patient.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This new design allows for easy attachment or removal of connection terminals onto moving parts without having any gaps left over when they were connected together. By supporting both the upper part (movement) and bottom part(opposing teeth), this system ensures that only one side needs to open up more space than other sides due to its own structure. Additionally, it uses flexible materials like springs instead of rigid metal plates used earlier designs, which further enhances stability while reducing weight compared to previous systems. Overall, these technical improvements make the device easier to install and maintain.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical solution describes how to provide effective ways to reduce snoring without causing damage to other organs like those around it's neck. One method involves making sure the patient bit their tongue flat during sleep, but this may lead to unnatural movements caused by muscle tone issues. Another approach uses pillows instead of cushions to help keep them calm properly. However, these methods require complicated procedures involving cutting off bone structures near the throat before inserting the pillars inside the nostrils.
