DEVICE FOR CORRECTION OF MYOFUNCTIONAL DISORDERS OF THE DENTAL SYSTEM

摘要

Utility model A device for the correction of myofunctional disorders of the dentition. The useful model relates to the field of medicine, namely to dentistry, and can be used to correct myofunctional disorders of the dentoalveolar system at the stages of treatment before prosthetics in case of bilateral dentition defects. The device for the correction of myofunctional disorders of the dentoalveolar system consists of two supporting blocks, which are interconnected by a circular arc. The blocks have supporting surfaces for the upper and lower jaws, with parallel slots with the possibility of crimping simultaneously from both sides of the upper and lower dentition. Parallel slots in the device are made along the longitudinal axes of the blocks. Block bearing surfaces and slots are rounded. The cross-sectional support blocks are butterfly-shaped and made of medical grade liquid silicone rubber. The width of each block of the device is 15-18 mm, the length is from 5 mm to 20 mm, and the height is from 15 mm to 18 mm. The depth of the support surfaces and slots is from 2 mm to 4 mm, the width between the edges of the support surfaces is from 6 mm to 11 mm. The arc connecting the support blocks is made of high-density low-pressure polyethylene and is fixed in the support blocks with a shift from their centers, the thickness of the arc is 0.5-2 mm, and the length is from 10 cm to 15 cm. systems at the stages of treatment before prosthetics for bilateral dentition defects due to the possibility of adapting the device for different jaw sizes and the development of a simultaneous and equal load force on the areas of dentition defects.
