Oral training appliance
An oral training appliance for training the tongue and lips of a person is disclosed. The appliance comprises a U shaped body comprising a front section and two arms, an inner wall and an outer wall. A tongue training member extends from the inner wall and is moveable in response to movement by the user's tongue from a rest configuration to a training configuration. The appliance also comprises a lip training member and is moveable in response to movement of a user's lower lip from a rest configuration to a training configuration and the lip training member is biased towards the rest configuration.
MANDIBULAR ADVANCEMENT DEVICE
A mandibular advancement device for stabilizing and exercising muscles that support the human jaw and for improving chewing and biting function. The mandibular advancement device includes a base portion and two curved members extending outwardly from the base portion to form a generally arched-type shape. The device also includes two axles wherein each axle extends inwardly from a portion of each of the curved members. The device also includes two rollers, wherein each of the rollers is slidably disposed upon each of the axles for engagement by human teeth to achieve mandibular advancement.
Compression Training System
A compression training system comprises an aperture tool, a tube, and a manometer. The tube comprises a first end opening and a second end opening. The aperture tool is releasably attached to the manometer via the tube. The aperture tool comprises a through aperture in communication with the first end opening of the tube. The aperture tool is shaped and sized to be placed between lips of a user. The manometer comprising a pressure inlet. The second end opening of the tube is hermetically attached around the pressure inlet such that the through aperture is in fluid communication with the manometer.
Oral training device
The oral training device for muscles of the throat and/or face includes a panel which is receivable in the oral cavity formed between the lips and teeth. The panel has a first face adjacent to the lip area and an opposite second face being adjacent to the teeth and/or gums when in use. The device includes a handle which projects outwardly from the first face for applying an outward pulling force to the panel generally away from the oral cavity. The device also includes an elongate platform extending laterally across the first face onto which the upper and lower lips are placeable when in use.
SELF-INDUCED DYSARTHRIA GAME
A self-induced dysarthria game that forces communication of specially-chosen phrases or performance of other common or humorous tasks involving use of the cheeks or lips despite an induced speech impairment, so that players inevitably experience initial failure but must compensate to win. Game play may involve individual competition or team play. A mobile software application for enabling game play is also disclosed.
AN ORAL-MOTOR MODULAR TRAINING SYSTEM
The present invention relates to a modular oral motor training system adapted to operate with multiple electromechanical training devices to strengthen the oral musculature, and improve the oral motor and breathe control, thereby improving the speech fluency and pronunciation of persons challenged with speech disorders. The system comprises a base unit adapted to receive one or more replaceable functional training devices, wherein the base unit comprises an electromechanical port through which it supplies electrical power and receives performance level data to/from the one or more functional training devices, according to which the base unit delivers performance feedback to a user of the system.

The second end opening of the tube is hermetically attached around the pressure inlet such that the through aperture is in fluid communication with the manometer.
MOUTHPIECE
The mouthpiece includes an enhanced mouthpiece, a data sensor, and a personal data device. The data sensor collects data regarding the bite force, the number of bites and the duration of each bite. The data sensor wirelessly transfers the collected data to a personal data device.
MASTICATORY MUSCLE EXERCISE DEVICE
Disclosed is a masticatory muscle exercise device. The masticatory muscle exercise device includes: an upper mouthpiece; a lower mouthpiece; and at least one elastic member applying elasticity to the upper mouthpiece and the lower mouthpiece. According to the masticatory muscle exercise device, a user can strengthen his/her masticatory muscles by actively exercising.
Oral function device
An oral function device. The oral function device may include an elongated hollow handle with a flange disposed around a first opening of the elongated hollow handle. The oral function device may include an elongated chew piece fixated by the end plug to prevent the elongated chew piece from falling off the elongated hollow handle. The elongated chew piece may rotate freely inside the elongated hollow handle.
