The present invention relates to a wrist guard and provides a wrist guard that does not pressurize the entire wrist portion but allows for pressurizing only the radius portion and the ulna portion, thereby not only performing a wrist protection function in a stable manner, but also not hindering blood circulation since other portions of the wrist are not pressurized, and thus may be conveniently used since side-effects such as hand numbness or hand swelling do not occur even when wearing same for a long period, and the position and thickness of a pressurizing pad for pressurizing the radius portion and the ulna portion of the wrist may be adjusted according to the needs of a user, and thus the wrist guard may be more conveniently used since same may be altered into an optimal state according to physical conditions of the user or environmental conditions.

The present invention relates to a thumb sucking correction mechanism wherein an opening is formed in the front surface of the upper portion of a cover body such that the thumb can bend with reference to connecting portion and can escape in the forward direction through the opening.

Method for manufacturing a dental expander having a first attachment member intended to be fixed to a first fixation tooth of a patient and an active member rigidly connected to the first attachment member. The method includes: a) generating a three-dimensional digital model of a dental arch having the fixation tooth or arch model; b) using the arch model as a basis for generating: a three-dimensional digital model of the first attachment member, wherein the model of the first attachment member that has an inner surface that substantially reproduces a part of the surface of the first fixation tooth, and/or a three-dimensional digital model of the active member; and c) using the model of the first attachment member as a basis for manufacturing the first attachment member and/or using the model of the active member as a basis for generating the active member.

A glove for preventing the wearer from sucking a thumb or one or more fingers comprises a glove body made out of fabric that has a hand portion which receives the hand and a digit portion which receives the thumb and fingers. The digit portion comprises a tubular, open ended digit receiving member for each digit. Some of these are configured as affected members for receiving the affected digits, those being the digits the wearer normally sucks. The affected members extend substantially the entire length of their respective digit. At least one anti-sucking component, preferably an elongated tube, extends along the length of the affected member, but not completely to its open end. The channel defined by the anti-sucking component prevents the wearer from achieving a vacuum against the affected member, thereby preventing suction. The glove has a securing mechanism that prevents the wearer from easily removing the glove.
