Description
Oral Insert
This invention relates to oral inserts and is intended to provide an oral insert device which can be used to exercise the muscles of the lower jaw and tongue and the accompanying lymph nodes, to enhance the removal of waste products from the facial area, and to reduce facial puffiness associated with lymphatic fluid retention.
Movement of the tongue within the oral cavity is controlled by, or has an effect on, various groups of muscles and on lymph nodes, saliva glands and associated vessels located in the vicinity of the mouth and neck. Movement of the lower jaw and tongue therefore influences, among other things, the digestive process and the removal by drainage of waste products which, otherwise, accumulate in and around the facial area, resulting in an appearance of swelling or puffiness especially in the region of the lower jaw.
It is an object of the invention to provide an oral insert device which, by enabling particular muscles to be exercised, facilitates muscle toning and drainage of waste products. In particular, the object of the invention is to enable lifting and toning of the lower jaw muscles for cosmetic purposes; stimulation of the lymph nodes and vessels in and around the tongue, jaw and neck areas to improve the complexion by removal of accumulated toxins; strengthening of the soft palette to reduce or eliminate problems associated with snoring; and to benefit stroke victims by correction of muscle asymmetry caused by strokes, dysphagia or cerebral palsy.
In one aspect, the present invention provides an oral insert device comprising a resilient body member shaped so as to be accommodated, in use, in the mouth, the body member having a substantially flat rear wall surface and incorporating an aperture opening to the rear wall to accommodate the tongue, in use.
Preferably, the body member comprises a generally nose-shaped upper surface profile, a substantially flat lower surface and is arranged to fit in the mouth behind the teeth, the upper profile being accommodated by the forward or front part of the roof of the mouth.
In devices according to the invention, the tongue-receiving aperture isolates the tongue generally in the centre of the mouth cavity, the upper and lower portions of the device, respectively defining the upper and lower walls of the tongue aperture, providing resistance to upward and downward movement of the tongue. When the tongue is urged against the lower wall of the aperture, towards the floor of the mouth, the muscles which are thereby targeted include the genioglossus, the hyoglossus and the styloglossus muscles whereas, when the tongue is urged against the upper wall of the aperture, towards the roof of the mouth, the muscles which are targeted include the mylohyoid, digastric, geniohyoid, platogolossus and stylohyoid muscles.
The nose-shaped upper surface profile of devices according to the invention is intended to enable the device to conform to the roof of the mouth, thereby to provide resistance to upward movement of the tongue substantially without initial distortion or displacement to occupy any free space between the device and the roof of the mouth. The lower surface of the device, intended in use to be located behind the lower teeth and in front of the tongue, preferably has a slot formation to accommodate the frenulum connecting the lower surface of the tongue with the floor of the mouth, behind the front teeth.
Although devices according to the invention are formed from a resilient material, the body member is preferably provided, preferably both below and above the tongue aperture, with apertures or cavities which have the function of increasing the resilience or the ability of the body member to be compressed by the tongue, either against the roof or the floor of the mouth, such apertures preferably opening to the substantially flat rear wall of the device. The apertures or cavities formed for this purpose are preferably blind-ended whereas, by contrast, the tongue aperture preferably communicates with the front or nose tip of the device, to allow expulsion of air as the tongue is inserted from the rear wall. The apertures or cavities may comprise an array of cavities of different diameters or other dimension which, optionally, are capable of being filled either with the same or another material so as to influence the resilience properties either generally or, especially for treatment of particular "one-sided" conditions, on one side or the other of a vertical centre line.
Preferably, devices according to the invention also include laterally-extending arms which, in use, are gripped between the teeth of the upper and lower jaws and, more preferably, extend outside the mouth to facilitate insertion and removal of the device in or from the mouth and also act as a safety measure, to prevent the device from moving towards the throat, for example in an involuntary swallowing action.
In use, the device, which is preferably formed from a biologically-acceptable and tasteless resilient thermoplastic polymeric material such as a urethane elastomeric plastics material, is washed under running water or, at the preference of the user, sterilised in a suitable sterilisation fluid, and inserted in the oral cavity with the tongue engaged in the aperture by insertion from behind the rear wall. Optionally, some or all of the apertures or cavities above and below the tongue aperture are initially filled with either a liquid polymeric material, subsequently allowed to cure, or a palette or cylinder of a pre-formed material which is subsequently removable, to influence the resilience properties, optionally asymmetrically on either side of the centre line. With the device thus in place, the tongue can be exercised to exert pressure in an upwardly and/or downwardly direction, whereby the muscles associated with such movement are exercised and the benefits thereby obtained.
Devices according to the invention may include one or more pressure sensors and associated pressure recordal means. Preferably, the pressure sensors are attached at selected locations to the outer surface of the body member for the purpose of recording pressures applied in a particular direction, for example upwardly, towards the roof of the mouth, by the tongue, or for providing a target pressure and a visual or audible indication that the target pressure has been attained. However, pressure sensors may also be embedded in the body member. Suitable pressure sensors are of the type comprising a diaphragm incorporating a foil strain gauge and Wheatstone bridge circuit and may be attached to the body member of the oral insert device by means of a suitable non-toxic adhesive. Alternatively, electrically conductive particles may be combined with the material of the body member to provide a quantum tunnelling compound for pressure sensing purposes.
Surface breaking electrodes may also be applied to or embedded in devices according to the invention, for the purpose of stimulating muscle movement.
Exercise of the musculature of the tongue and lower jaw results in lifting and toning of the lower jaw without associated muscle growth and, indeed, with reduction in the size of the muscles. Lymphatic drainage of the face, through stimulation of the lymph nodes and vessels of the jaw and tongue, enhances the removal of waste products from the facial area and reduces facial puffiness associated with lymph fluid retention.
Devices according to the invention may also be used during surgery, to restrain the tongue or to prevent its being "swallowed".
Embodiments of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which
Figure 1 is a perspective view from above, one side and the front of a device according to the invention, and
Figure 2 is a perspective view from the rear, one side and above of the device of Figure 1.
Referring firstly to Figure 1, the device, shown generally at 10, consists essentially of a body portion 11 with arm or wing members 12, 13 extending laterally from the front part thereof. The body member 11 is generally triangular or nose-shaped in its upper profile 14 and has an under portion 15, as shown more clearly in Figure 2. The arms 12, 13 terminate at their distal ends in flattened portions 16, 17 formed with protrusions 18, 19 for gripping purposes. The device is made from a thermoplastic polymer of the type available from Kraiburg TPE and known as Thermolast K.
With particular reference to Figure 2, the body portion 11 is formed with a flat rear face 20. The lower portion 15 has a longitudinally-disposed central aperture 21 to accommodate, in use, the frenulum. The body portion 11 has a generally oval through-aperture 22 which, in use, accommodates the tongue. The rear wall 20 of the device also contains the openings
of an array of different-sized blind-ended apertures or cavities disposed respectively above, 23, and below, 24, the tongue aperture 22.
In use, the apertures 23, 24 can selectively accommodate solid, optionally resilient, material to alter the compressive or resilient properties of the body portion, formed as it is from a resilient polymeric material.
Referring back to Figure 1, optional pressures sensors 25 are attached to the outer surface of the body portion 11 at selected locations with connections (not shown but which may be wire-less) to reader, display or control means.
