Abstract

The system has crystal clear, cylinder-shaped rails connected with spring metal clamps (7) that cause infeed of a lower jaw (2), where an upper jaw (1) and the lower jaw are arranged on the rails. The rails consist of polyethylene terephthalate or other plastic materials. The clamps are formed from nickel-titanium alloy and exhibit memory-metal effects. The clamps are polymerized on the rails, attached with fixing screws and connecting nut, and adjusted by heating process. The clamps are thinly formed on masticatory surface (3) to close the jaws against each other.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein System zur vorgeschobenen Haltung des Unterkiefers im Schlaf, das ein Zurückfallen des Kiefers verhindert, das ursächlich für Schnarchen und Apnoe ist.The The invention relates to a system for advanced posture of the mandible in sleep, the falling back of the jaw prevents the cause of snoring and Apnea is.

Für verschiedene therapeutische Zwecke, wie z. B. bei Verlagerung der Gelenkscheibe und des Kiefergelenks, wie auch für die Therapie von Schnarchen und Apnoe ist eine Vorverlagerung (Protrusion) des Unterkiefers angezeigt, therapeutisch bislang jedoch problematisch.For various therapeutic purposes, such as. B. at relocation of Joint disc and the temporomandibular joint, as well as for the therapy of snoring and apnea is a protrusion (protrusion) of the Lower jaw displayed, but therapeutic so far problematic.

So sind zur Vermeidung von Schnarchen und Apnoe zahlreiche Systeme bekannt, die ein zurückfallen des Unterkiefers bei der Lockerung der Kiefernmuskulatur im Schlaf durch ein Vorschieben des Unterkiefers gegenüber dem Oberkiefer verhindern.So are numerous systems to prevent snoring and apnea known to be a falling back of the lower jaw at the Relaxation of the pine muscles during sleep by advancing of the lower jaw to prevent the upper jaw.

Dieses, wie auch die Protrusion für die Kieferngelenk-Therapie wird bislang dadurch erreicht, dass die Zahnreihen der Unter- und Oberkiefer in Schienen gefasst und über mechanische Elemente gegeneinander verspannt oder fixiert werden.This, as well as the protrusion for the jaw joint therapy is achieved by the fact that the rows of teeth of the lower and Upper jaw taken in rails and over mechanical elements against each other be clamped or fixed.

Dabei sind, wie in DE 10 2007 050 309 ausgeführt, die Mehrzahl dieser Systeme starr und zwingen zu limitierenden Kiefernhaltungen, die auf Dauer zu Beschwerden führen.Here are, as in DE 10 2007 050 309 run, the majority of these systems rigid and force to limiting pine postures that lead to discomfort in the long run.

Daher, und weil bei vielen Systemen Sprechen unmöglich ist und/oder das Tragen durch Zwang zur Offenhaltung des Mundes zu Mundtrockenheit oder eingeschränkter Zugenbeweglichkeit führt, bleibt die Compliance, also die Nutzung dieser Hilfsmittel, auch wenn bereits verschrieben und erhalten, gering.Therefore, and because in many systems, speaking is impossible and / or wearing by compulsion to keep the mouth open to dry mouth or impaired mobility, remains the compliance, so the use of these tools, too if already prescribed and received, low.

Eine wesentliche Verbesserung ist bereits durch vorgenannte Patentschrift des gleichen Anmelders gegeben, bei der dünne, leichte und durch glasklare Ausführung nahezu unsichtbare Schienen Verwendung finden, und deren Verbindung über federnde Gelenke in der Nähe des Kieferngelenks höhere Bewegungsfreiheit gewährleisten.A substantial improvement is already by the aforementioned patent given by the same applicant, in the thin, lightweight and through crystal clear design almost invisible rails Use, and their connection via resilient joints higher freedom of movement near the pine joint guarantee.

In einer Weiterentwicklung dieses Systems wird nun vorgeschlagen, der natürlichen Kinematik des Unterkiefers weiter zu folgen, indem die Veränderung des Benettwinkels, der sich aus der Lateral- und der Rotationsbewegung der Unterkieferngelenke ergibt, weiter dadurch entsprochen wird, dass die Protusion durch die Vorspannung zwischen Ober- und Unterkiefer von der Rotation des Kiefergelenks durch Einfügen eines weiteren Gelenks entkoppelt wird, das – nahezu parallel zum Kiefergelenk angeordnet – der Verbindung einen zusätzlichen Freiheitsgrad in den Rotationsebenen verleiht.In A further development of this system is now proposed, the continue to follow natural kinematics of the lower jaw, by changing the Benettwinkels, resulting from the Lateral and rotational movement of the lower jaw joints, is further met by the fact that the protusion by the bias between upper and lower jaw from the rotation of the temporomandibular joint Inserting another joint is decoupled, which - almost arranged parallel to the temporomandibular joint - the connection one adds extra degree of freedom in the planes of rotation.

Durch diese Anordnung, bei der das Schienensystem selbst zum Gelenk wird, ist gewährleistet, dass trotz definierter Protrusion des Unterkiefers die physiologische Belastung von Bandapparatur und Kaumuskulatur gering bleibt.By this arrangement, in which the rail system itself becomes the joint, is guaranteed that despite defined protrusion of the Lower jaw the physiological burden of ligamentous apparatus and masticatory muscles remains low.

Zudem werden auch bei weiter Öffnung des Mundes, z. B. beim Gähnen, keine abziehenden Kräfte auf die Schienen ausgeübt. Sie können daher dünner ausgeführt werden und müssen nicht unter Spannung auf die Zahnreihen gepresst werden, was sonst die Wieder-Entnahme erheblich erschwert.moreover are also at further opening of the mouth, z. When yawning, no exerting forces exerted on the rails. They can therefore be made thinner and do not have to be pressed under tension on the rows of teeth which makes re-removal difficult.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend in den Zeichnungen 1 bis 5 näher erläutert, wobei 1 bis 3 verschiedene Anlagen des System in Seitenansicht darstellt und 4 verschiedene Bewegungsphasen des Kiefers dreidimensional zeigt, während 5 die Verstellmöglichkeit des Gelenks in 2 und 3 im Detail darstellt.The invention will become apparent in the drawings 1 to 5 explained in more detail, wherein 1 to 3 depicting different systems of the system in side view and 4 various motion phases of the jaw three-dimensionally shows while 5 the adjustment of the joint in 2 and 3 in detail represents.

1 zeigt den Oberkiefer 1 mit der oberen Zahnreihe 4 und der darauf eingerasteten Schiene 6 und dazu den Unterkiefer 2 in vorgeschobenen Stellung, wiederum mit Zahnreihe 5 und Schiene 7, die durch eine federnde Verbindung über die Bügel 8 und 9 verbunden sind Dabei sind die Bügelelemente 8 und 9 durch das Gelenk 5 verbunden. 1 shows the upper jaw 1 with the upper row of teeth 4 and the rail engaged thereon 6 and the lower jaw 2 in advanced position, again with row of teeth 5 and rail 7 , which by a springy connection over the hanger 8th and 9 Here are the ironing elements 8th and 9 through the joint 5 connected.

2 zeigt die gleiche Anordnung mit einem am Ende der oberen Schiene 6 angebrachten, einstellbaren Gelenk 10, das in 5 detailliert dargestellt ist. 2 shows the same arrangement with one at the end of the upper rail 6 attached, adjustable joint 10 , this in 5 is shown in detail.

3 stellt die gleiche Anordnung dar, nur ist hier das verstellbare Gelenk 11 an der unteren Schiene 7 befestigt. 3 represents the same arrangement, except here is the adjustable joint 11 at the bottom rail 7 attached.

4 zeigt die Bewegungsphasen dieser Anordnungen in den Stellungen des Oberkiefers 1a, b und c, sowie analog des Unterkiefers 2a, b und c – hier allerdings ohne die Federwirkungen der Bügel 2 und 3 zu berücksichtigen. Wie zu erkennen ist, kann der Unterkiefer trotz Protrusion weitgehend unbeeinträchtigt Kaubewegungen ausführen. 4 shows the phases of movement of these arrangements in the positions of the upper jaw 1a , b and c, and analogous to the lower jaw 2a , b and c - but here without the spring effects of the bracket 2 and 3 to take into account. As can be seen, the lower jaw, despite protrusion, can perform chewing movements largely unimpaired.

5 zeigt das Detail eines verstellbaren Gelenks 10 oder 11, wie in 2 und 3 beschrieben. Dabei wird eine Kugel 15 in einer geschlitzten Hülse 16 geführt und über die Stellschraube 17 justiert. In die Kugel 15 ist ein Arm 18 eingesetzt, der im Schlitz 19 der Hülse 16 mit der Kugel verschiebbar ist und die Verbindung zur Schiene der jeweils anderen Zahnreihe darstellt. 5 shows the detail of an adjustable joint 10 or 11 , as in 2 and 3 described. This is a ball 15 in a slotted sleeve 16 guided and over the adjusting screw 17 adjusted. In the ball 15 is an arm 18 inserted in the slot 19 the sleeve 16 is displaceable with the ball and represents the connection to the rail of the other row of teeth.
