Oral appliance for jaw development and sleep apnea relief
The patent US12048608B2 describes an innovative oral appliance designed to enhance dental treatment through adjustable features that promote mandibular advancement. The appliance consists of an upper tray and a lower tray, each tailored to fit over the respective dental arches of a patient. The upper tray includes two adjustable positioners on the buccal side, while the lower tray features two fins on the labial side. These components work together, allowing for individual adjustments to achieve the desired mandibular advancement. Additionally, both trays are equipped with axial springs that apply intermittent, cyclic forces to the palatal/lingual surfaces of the teeth, facilitating dynamic interaction during activities such as swallowing and speech.
Further detailing the construction, the patent specifies that the adjustable positioners utilize screw mechanisms coupled with spacers to fine-tune their positions. The trays are designed with expansion mechanisms to accommodate jaw development and palatal expansion, ensuring a comfortable fit. The axial springs can be made from various materials, including single-strand or braided alloy wires, and may feature a 3-D design for optimal contact with the teeth. The appliance also includes overlays for the occlusal surfaces of the teeth, enhancing its functionality. Overall, this patent presents a comprehensive approach to oral appliances, focusing on adjustability and comfort to improve patient outcomes in dental care.
