Abstract
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.
Claims10
A device for relaxing a plurality of mastication muscles, the device comprising:
- a headwear dimensioned and adapted to overlay the temporalis, masseter, medial and lateral pterygoid muscles of a wearer, wherein an inner surface of the headwear provides one or more pressure points, respectively, adjacent each of the masseter, medial and lateral pterygoid muscles so that each pressure point is configured to selectively apply pressure to its respective muscle by tightening the headwear.
