Description

Anti-snoring device with anterior protruding jaw {ANTI-SNORING APPARATUS WITH PRONT EXTRUDING PART}

The disclosed disclosure relates to an anti-snoring device that is mounted in the oral cavity similar to a mouthpiece and prevents or relieves snoring by expanding the airway during sleep by maintaining the mandible to protrude more forward than the upper jaw.

Unless otherwise indicated herein, the contents described in this identification are not prior art to the claims of this application, and the description in this identification is not admitted to be prior art.

In general, snoring occurs when the throat through which air passes before it enters the airway during respiration is narrowed so that air cannot easily pass in and out.

Normally, during inhalation or exhalation, air passes through flexible human organs such as the roof of the mouth, tongue, uvula, and tonsils. During non-sleep, as the above-mentioned human organs maintain their functions with the help of surrounding muscles, the air passages are not blocked during breathing, so there is almost no sound. The air passage is partially narrowed, and when air passes through this part, the surrounding flexible body organs vibrate, causing snoring.

On the other hand, among patients with very severe form of snoring, the air passage is temporarily blocked due to severe muscle relaxation during sleep or due to severe obesity, which prevents air from flowing into the lungs at all. This symptom is called obstructive sleep apnea.

When sleep apnea continues, fresh air is not supplied to the lungs, and the brain senses this to wake up the body and contract the muscles to reopen the air passages. At this time, the patient takes a deep breath and then starts breathing again.

If this sleep apnea phenomenon is repeated every day, you will feel very drowsy and tired during the day. In addition, if sleep apnea continues for a long time, it may increase the burden on the heart or lungs and cause serious diseases such as high blood pressure, arrhythmia, and myocardial infarction.

In order to treat such sleep apnea, medical procedures such as nasal surgery, laser surgery for pharyngeal removal, pillows for preventing snoring, mouthpiece-type anti-snoring devices, etc. are used.

First of all, medical procedures such as nasal surgery and laser surgery for pharyngeal removal can temporarily improve snoring symptoms, but there is a disadvantage that the symptoms improved after surgery may worsen over time.

In addition, the pillow for preventing snoring has the advantage of not requiring medical treatment, but has a disadvantage in that it is easy to dislodge from the original position during sleep and often fails to function properly.

On the other hand, the mouthpiece-type anti-snoring device that sleeps in the mouth is mounted in the oral cavity similar to the mouthpiece and keeps the mandible more protruding than the upper jaw, so that the soft palate and connected uvula, tongue root, and tonsils are further separated. It prevents snoring by making it farther away so that the airway through which air passes becomes much wider.

Due to the airway expanded by the mouthpiece-type snoring prevention device, the air inhaled during sleep passes freely through areas such as the uvula, root of the tongue, and tonsils, and vibration of the soft palate and tonsils due to air passage is blocked. This symptom can be alleviated or prevented.

As described above, a mouthpiece-type anti-snoring device that sleeps with one's mouthpiece has been widely used in recent years as snoring is alleviated or prevented while the airway is maintained in an expanded state during sleep without requiring a separate medical treatment.

As an example of such a mouthpiece-type snoring prevention mechanism, Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-2011-0006263 (published on June 22, 2011) consists of a lower support and an upper support, and the lower support is at least according to the shape of the lower teeth. A lower tooth receiving portion accommodating a portion of the lower teeth, a fixed lower flange extending and protruding to the upper portion of the lower support and formed in a protrusion shape, a screw connected to the fixed lower flange, and a movable lower portion connected to the fixed lower flange and the screw through the screw The upper support includes a flange, and the upper support includes an upper tooth receiving part for accommodating at least a portion of the upper teeth, a fixed lower flange extending from the lower teeth and a coupling groove for accommodating the movable lower flange, and is located on the front surface of the upper support. It is formed to extend downward from the upper tooth receiving part and includes a protrusion having an inclined surface inclined downward inward, and the movable lower flange and the fixed lower flange are formed in a protrusion shape having a front engaging surface and a rear engaging surface, and the screw Disclosed is an intraoral device for preventing snoring and sleep apnea, characterized in that the distance between the fixed lower flange and the movable lower flange can be adjusted according to the patient by adjusting it.

In addition, in Patent Registration No. 10-0787188 (announced on December 21, 2007), which the inventor of this patent application has applied for, there is an upper support supported by the user's upper teeth, and the upper support is attached to the upper support so as to protrude downward with respect to the upper support. It includes an upper locking jaw provided, a lower support supported by the lower teeth, and a lower locking jaw that is provided on the lower support so as to protrude upward with respect to the lower support and can be caught on the front surface of the upper locking jaw, the upper The locking jaw includes a downward extension portion extending downwardly and a separation preventing portion extending forwardly and protruding from the lower end of the lower extension portion, and the lower locking jaw includes an upper extension portion extending upwardly, and the upper extension portion A snoring prevention mechanism is disclosed that extends from the upper end to the rear and protrudes and includes a departure prevention portion that prevents the gap between the upper support and the lower support from widening by being caught on the upper surface of the separation prevention portion of the upper locking jaw. .

However, in the case of the conventional mouthpiece-type snoring prevention device, there is a problem in that the inside of the oral cavity is excessively dried during oral breathing during sleep as the entire space between the upper and lower supports that are detachably fitted to the upper and lower teeth is spaced apart.

In addition, in the case of the conventional mouthpiece-type snoring prevention device, excessive grip force may be applied unconsciously while the molar sides of the upper and lower supports are in contact with each other during sleep, resulting in tooth damage and deterioration of sleep quality. have.
