Device For Preventing Bruxism
First Claim
1. Device for preventing bruxism, comprising a carrier intended for receiving in a mouth of a user, which carrier comprises at least a part of an electronic bio-feedback system, which bio-feedback system comprises at least one signal sensor which is sensitive to electrical muscle signals and which is coupled to a control unit designed and adapted to generate a correcting stimulus via an electrode when a muscle signal is detected above a predetermined threshold level, characterized in that the bio-feedback system is provided with means for adjusting and storing the threshold level.

Abstract
A device for preventing bruxism includes a carrier (1) which is intended for receiving in a mouth of a user and which includes at least a part of an electronic bio-feedback system. The bio-feedback system includes at least one signal sensor (2) which is sensitive to electrical muscle signals and which is coupled to a control unit. The control unit is designed and adapted to generate a correcting stimulus via an electrode (2) when a muscle signal is detected above a predetermined threshold level. The bio-feedback system is herein provided with elements for individually adjusting and storing the threshold level.
