Teeth separating system

摘要

An arcuate base section with upper and lower surfaces separated by a thickness has an arcuate exterior periphery with a central front point and laterally spaced rear points, an arcuate interior periphery generally concentric with the exterior periphery, a width and a depth. Two lateral support sections and a central support section are in an arcuate configuration and have inner and outer surfaces separated by a thickness. The support sections have free upper edges and lower edge separated by a height. The lateral support sections are perpendicular to and integrally formed with the base section at the exterior periphery adjacent to the rear points. The central support section is perpendicular to and integrally formed with the base section at the interior periphery adjacent to the central front point. The system is fabricated in one piece of a material with limited flexibility and elasticity.

主权项

1. A teeth separating system (200) to abate the grinding of teeth while sleeping consisting of:
a base section (202) in an arcuate configuration with a front portion positionable between the front teeth of a user and laterally spaced rear portions positionable between the rear teeth of the user, the base section having upper and lower surfaces separated by a thickness, the base section having an arcuate exterior periphery (210) with laterally spaced rear points (208), the rear points being laterally spaced by a first length, the base section having an arcuate interior periphery (212) generally concentric with the arcuate exterior periphery, the base section having a width between the arcuate interior periphery and the arcuate exterior periphery, the base section having a depth, the interior arcuate periphery (210) and the exterior arcuate periphery (212) being laterally spaced a greater distance adjacent to the laterally spaced rear points (208) and the rear teeth than forwardly of the laterally spaced rear points adjacent to the front portion and the front teeth; and a support section (204) in an arcuate configuration, the support section having inner and outer surfaces, the support section having end points (206) spaced forwardly of the rear points (208) of the base section, the inner and outer surfaces being separated by a thickness, the support section having a free first edge and a second edge separated by a height, the end points of the support section being laterally spaced by a second distance, the second distance being greater than the first length, the support section being perpendicular to and integrally formed with the base section at the arcuate exterior periphery; the base section and the support section being fabricated in one piece of a material chosen from elasticity, the materials consisting of silicone, latex, plastic or organic materials.
