    摘要: The invention relates to a device suitable for influencing the intake of food through the oral cavity of a human, comprising anchoring means which can be applied to one or several teeth of both the upper and the lower jaw, at least one elongated element that can be placed around the front of the upper or lower jaw and that can be coupled adjacent its two element ends to the anchoring means applied to the respective jaw, and connecting means that can be provided between the upper and the lower jaw and that can be coupled at one end to the elongated element and at the other end to the anchoring means applied to the other jaw, such that an opening of the jaws causes the connecting means to pull the elongated element against the front of the jaw, which results in an unpleasant or pain sensation.
