摘要： The diagnosed soft tissue or brain injury component of concussions is generally defined by the symptoms of the temporal lobe manifestations. However, there is an undiagnosed structural fractured component of concussions occurring within the jaw joint complex which is the focus of this invention. A precise imaging technique and the powerful 3D Cone beam scanning technology, together, have revealed fractures in temporal bones of the jaw joint space which supports the temporal lobe of the brain. These fractures are the results of the lower jaw impact forces that cause concussions and this mechanism account for a large percent of the concussions arising in sports and military operations. These fractures have never been considered, diagnosed, or treated in the management of concussions. Fracturing temporal bones in the jaw joint that supports the temporal lobe will certainly produce the symptoms of temporal lobe manifestations. With early detection, these fractures can be more rapidly healed, eliminating many temporal lobe symptoms of concussions. The device of the present invention reduces the risk of the lower jaw impact concussion and temporal bone fractures, while enhancing the ability to speak and orally communicate.

摘要翻译： 诊断的脑震荡组织或脑损伤部分通常由颞叶表现的症状定义。 然而，在本发明关注的颌关节复合体内存在未诊断出的脑震荡的结构性骨折部件。 精确的成像技术和强大的三维锥形束扫描技术一起揭示了颌骨关节间隙的颞骨骨折，这种骨骼支撑着大脑的颞叶。 这些骨折是导致脑震荡的下颌骨冲击力的结果，并且这种机制占体育和军事行动中脑震荡的很大比例。 这些骨折在震荡治疗中从未被考虑，诊断或治疗过。 在支撑颞叶的颌关节中压碎颞骨将会产生颞叶表现的症状。 随着早期发现，这些骨折可以更快地愈合，消除脑震荡的许多颞叶症状。 本发明的装置降低了下颌冲击震荡和颞骨骨折的风险，同时增强说话和口头交流的能力。
