A wearable mastication muscle relaxer is provided. The wearable mastication muscle relaxer provides headwear with pressure-applying protrusions selectively disposed along its inward-facing surface so that the pressure-applying protrusions align with the temporalis, masseter, medial and lateral pterygoid muscles. The amount of pressure applied by the pressure-applying protrusions is a function of the engagement of adjustable connection points provided by the headwear. Additionally, pressure can be selectively applied on a pressure-point basis through urging each protrusion by way of an associated pressure plate accessible along an outward-facing surface of the headwear.

A device and method for creating and/or maintain an obstruction free upper airway passage. The device configured to fit under the chin of a subject adjacent to the subject's at an external location corresponding approximately with the subject's internal soft tissue associated with the neck's anterior triangle. The device including structural elements designed to optimize comfort, compliance and seal achieved through minimizing the pressure variation along the contact surface of the cushion element. The structural elements of the cushion may include a fluidly sealed chamber that may vary in thickness and width, a compressible elastic foam contained within the fluidly sealed chamber a ribbon layer backing the elastic foam contained within the fluidly sealed chamber and an adhesive layer disposed on the outer surface of the fluidly sealed chamber of the therapy device designed to contact the skin of the subject.

The obtained oral mounting fixture can be used in public such as during conversation with other people when halitosis is of particular concern and can be used at any time with no limit to the timing of use, and thus further effectively promotes the secretion of saliva. The oral mounting fixture configured to be mounted inside an oral cavity of a human and promote the secretion of saliva has a main body section 1 that can be detachably mounted on a part in the oral cavity, and having a shape arranged so that the main body section 1 conforms to the shape of a portion on which the oral mounting fixture is mounted, and plural protrusions 2 that are integrally formed in the main body section 1 and protruding from the surface of the main body section 1. This oral mounting fixture is mounted so that the tips of the plural protrusions 2 press on a mucosa in the oral cavity.

A device for moving a lower jaw forward includes an upper teeth mounting portion on which upper teeth of a human body are mountable, a lower teeth mounting portion on which lower teeth of the human body are mountable, a sensing portion capable of sensing information which determines a movement time of the lower teeth mounting portion, and a driving portion capable of moving the lower teeth mounting portion relative to the upper teeth mounting portion according to a sensing result of the sensing portion. The driving portion includes a power portion which provides a force for moving the lower teeth mounting portion and a driving connection portion which connects the power portion to the lower teeth mounting portion.

The disclosure includes a maxillofacial rehabilitation device, comprising a frame and a dynamic actuation mechanism coupled to the frame. The frame can be configured to attach the device to the head of a user. The dynamic actuation mechanism can be configured to contact the mandible of the user, receive control signals from a controller, and move the mandible of the user in the sagittal plane and the vertical plane based on the control signals.

An oral device, or mouthpiece, for delivering a fluid to the mouth or oropharynx of a user includes an intraoral portion and an extraoral portion, which may be integrally formed. In various embodiments, the oral device may be configured with ear loops. The intraoral portion generally includes at least one outlet port through which the fluid is delivered to the oral cavity or oropharynx. A method for making an oral device is also provided.

An oral dilator includes a first body, a second body, a rotary member, and a positioning member. The first body includes a housing and a first duckbilled element. The second body includes a second duckbilled element corresponding to the first duckbilled element. The rotary member drives the second body to rotate. The positioning member is on the first body and selectively locks or unlocks the relative position between the first duckbilled element and the second duckbilled element when the second duckbilled element is driven to rotate by the rotary member.

A jaw exerciser for providing passive motion therapy such as that used to treat trismus is provided. The jaw exerciser has a user-adjustable distance between the upper jaw support and the lower jaw support. The jaw exerciser includes a shaft, a first or upper jaw support frame including a first jaw support, a second or lower jaw support frame including a second jaw support, a distance adjuster which may be in the form of a jack screw for manually adjusting the distance between the first jaw support and the second jaw support, and a retaining screw. The jack screw may be received by the second or lower jaw support frame and engage the first or upper jaw support frame. Removable bite pads may optionally be provided for installing on the first jaw support and the second jaw support.

A logopaedic treatment device has a U-shaped basic shape to be inserted into the mouth. The logopaedic treatment device includes a plate segment for partially covering a U-shaped basic shape to be inserted into the mouth, a plate segment for partially covering the rows of teeth in the upper and lower jaw, and, on the side facing away from the teeth, at least one projection, in particular an arrangement of a number of projections, for lip stimulation. The bite strip defines a bite-on plane and the projections are arranged both above and below the bite-on plane.
