Abstract: A mandibular advancement device (102,302) includes a first brace member (104,304) structured to engage an upper dentition of a user, a second brace member (106,306) structured to engage a lower dentition of a user, and a number of coupling assemblies (108,308) each coupling the first brace member to the second brace member. Each of the number of coupling assemblies includes an actuating element (114,314) structured to automatically adjust a dimension (136,336) of the coupling assembly. The actuating element is selected from the group consisting of a biasing element (114) and a volume responsive material (314).

Abstract: A dental guard (10) for preventing wear of the occlusal surfaces of a user's teeth resulting from bruxism is provided. The dental guard (10) can be can be custom-fitted to the teeth of the wearer. The guard (10) comprises a durable core (14) that is overmolded by a thermoplastic outer layer (12). The outer layer (12) can be softened through exposure to hot, but not boiling, water, and then formed around the user's teeth. The guard (10) may include one or more features (32, 84) that assist the user in proper positioning of the guard within his or her mouth during the custom fitting process.

Abstract: A positioner may include a compressible member forming a main body, two arms extending from the main body, and a top. The main body may have an average circumference greater than an average circumference of each arm. The compressible member may include a covering at least partially filled with a filler. A plurality of straps may be secured to the compressible member. The positioner may be secured around a neck of a deceased person such that the main body secures a mouth of the deceased person closed and the main body and arms position a head of the deceased person in a substantially fixed position, such as for a funeral viewing. The positioners may also be used on a living person to reduce or eliminate snoring.

Abstract: A method and system to address the adverse effects on an individual's oral microbiome with the objective of restoring gingival health caused by exposure to sodium lauryl sulfate. Certain embodiments of the present invention facilitate the growth of desired bacteria in a human's mouth to reduce the likelihood of dental caries, halitosis, canker sores, and other oral diseases. Probiotic bacterial, bioactive flavonoid, xylitol and zinc compound compositions, provide effective prevention and treatment options, especially while precluding the use of sodium lauryl sulfate so as to reduce adverse consequences it has on gingival health.

Abstract: An approach is disclosed for transmitting customizable audio signals through teeth. An intraoral apparatus is provided with a teeth movement detection element to detect teeth movement. The apparatus holds a state where the state is one of on and off. The apparatus includes a power source, an audio element, a control element, and a bone conduction element. A customizable audio signals is received by the audio element. When teeth movement is detected when the state is off, the customizable audio signals are transmitted through the bone conduction element for a period of time.

Abstract: An approach is disclosed for transmitting customizable audio signals through teeth activated by pressure. An intraoral apparatus is provided with a pressure switch controlled by receiving pressure. The pressure switch holds a state where the state is one of on and off. The intraoral apparatus includes a power source, an audio element, a control element, and a bone conduction element. A customizable audio signals is received by the audio element. When pressure is received by the pressure switch when the state is off, the control element can be charged from the power source with a charge. The charge enables sending the customizable audio signal through the bone conduction element. In some configuration the charge is needed, as without the charge the customizable audio signals is not transmitted.
