Intraorales Schnarch - Therapiegerät, mit partieller Befestigung an den Unterkieferzähnen.Intraoral snoring therapy device, with partial attachment to the lower jaw teeth.
Zahntechnische Apparaturen üblicher Bauart, die das Schnarchen des Menschen unterbinden sollen, sind bisher sehr aufwendige, unkomfortable und zum Teil schmerzverursachende Geräte. Sie beeinflussen die Kiefergelenke auf unnatürliche Art und Weise. Durch das Verbinden von Oberkiefer und Unterkiefer mittels Scharnieren oder das Anheben der Kauebene durch Aufbißschienen lassen sich die Gelenkköpfe des Kiefergelenks (Condylus mandibularis ) nicht in die gewohnte Ruhelage schieben. Auch Apparaturen mit Zungenstütze (Pilotte), die das Zurückfallen der Zunge in den Rachen verhindern sollen, sind nicht für einen erholsamen Tiefschlaf geeignet. Die Befestigung der Pilotte am Oberkiefer erzeugt oftmals einen Würgereitz und das Tragegefühl einer überdimensionierten Totalprothese. Desweiteren lassen sich diese Regulierungen schwierig ein- und ausgliedern und machen, bei korrekter Positionierung, daß Sprechen oder Trinken unmöglich.Conventional dental devices designed to prevent people from snoring are currently very complex, uncomfortable and sometimes painful devices. They affect the jaw joints in an unnatural way. By connecting the upper and lower jaws with hinges or raising the chewing plane with bite splints, the joint heads of the jaw joint (mandibular condyle) cannot be pushed into their usual resting position. Devices with tongue supports (pilots), which are designed to prevent the tongue from falling back into the throat, are also not suitable for restful, deep sleep. Attaching the pilot to the upper jaw often creates a gag reflex and the feeling of wearing an oversized full denture. Furthermore, these adjustments are difficult to insert and remove and, if correctly positioned, make speaking or drinking impossible.
Der im Schutzanspruch angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zu Grunde, daß Zurückfallen der Zunge, eines sich im Schlaf befindlichen Menschen, zu verhindern. Die Apparatur (Halterung) sollte möglichst klein dimensioniert sein und die Okklusion der Zahnreihen, sowie die Bewegungsfreiheit des Unterkiefers und der Kiefergelenke nicht beeinflussen. Die Apparatur soll einfach zu handhaben und zu reinigen sein , sowie einen hohen Tragekomfort gewährleisten.The invention specified in the protection claim is based on the problem of preventing the tongue of a person who is sleeping from falling back. The device (holder) should be as small as possible and should not affect the occlusion of the rows of teeth or the freedom of movement of the lower jaw and the jaw joints. The device should be easy to handle and clean and should ensure a high level of comfort when worn.
Diese Probleme werden mit dem im Schutzanspruch aufgeführten Merkmalen gelöst.These problems are solved with the features listed in the protection claim.
Mit der Erfindung wird erreicht, daß durch den Druck eines Gummibandes auf die Zunge ein Zurückfallen der Zunge in den Rachenraum nicht möglich ist. Das wiederum bewirkt, daß die Luftwege im Rachen nicht verengt werden, der Patient frei atmen kann und keine Schnarchgeräusche entstehen.The invention ensures that the pressure of a rubber band on the tongue prevents the tongue from falling back into the throat. This in turn ensures that the airways in the throat are not constricted, the patient can breathe freely and no snoring noises are produced.
Das gelochte Gummiband ist an einem individuell angefertigtem Stahl- oder Kunststoffgerüst (ähnlich zahntechnischer Teilprothesen) fixiert, welches wiederum mit Klammern oder Krallen an den Unterkieferzähnen haftet.The perforated rubber band is fixed to an individually manufactured steel or plastic frame (similar to dental partial dentures), which in turn is attached to the lower jaw teeth with clamps or claws.
An dem Gerüst befinden sich außer den Klammern und Krallen noch zwei Haken , zur Aufnahme des gelochten Gummibandes. Die Aufnahmehaken sind im Bereich der großen Seitenzähne (Molaren), in Richtung der Zunge angebracht.In addition to the brackets and claws, there are two hooks on the frame to hold the perforated rubber band. The hooks are attached in the area of the large side teeth (molars), in the direction of the tongue.
Dadurch , daß das Gerüst individuell für den Patienten hergestellt wird, fällt die Konstruktion äußerst klein und grazil aus und beeinträchtigt weder die Okklusion der Zähne, noch die Bewegungsfreiheit des Unterkiefers und der Kiefergelenke.Because the framework is manufactured individually for the patient, the construction is extremely small and delicate and does not affect the occlusion of the teeth or the freedom of movement of the lower jaw and the jaw joints.
Da das Gummiband weich und elastisch ist, kann der Patient auch mit eingegliederter Apparatur sprechen oder trinken.Since the rubber band is soft and elastic, the patient can speak or drink even with the appliance in place.
Die Spannung des Bandes kann durch unterschiedliche Einhakpositionen an den Aufnahmehaken des Gerüstes verändert werden.The tension of the strap can be changed by different hooking positions on the scaffolding’s hooks.
Da die Schnarchschutzvorrichtung nur am Unterkiefer befestigt wird, ist ein einfaches Ein- und Ausgliedern möglich und eine Beeinträchtigung des Oberkiefers ausgeschlossen.Since the anti-snoring device is only attached to the lower jaw, it can be easily inserted and removed and there is no risk of damage to the upper jaw.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel wird in Figur 1; 2 und 3 dargestellt.An embodiment is shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3.

Da es sich bei den Zeichnungen um die natürliche Zahnreihe eines Menschen handelt und das Intraorale Schnarch -Therapiegerät freihändig hergestellt wird, muß auch die Darstellung freihändig und ohne Zeichengerät angefertigt werden, um möglichst realistisch zu sein.Since the drawings are of a person's natural row of teeth and the intraoral snoring therapy device is made freehand, the representation must also be made freehand and without a drawing device in order to be as realistic as possible.
