  • Patent number: 5819744
    Abstract: A new Therapeutic Mouthpiece for alleviating pain and reducing swelling within the mouth. The inventive device includes a pliable U-shaped member sized to fit within a mouth and adapted to generally conform in use to either the upper teeth or the lower teeth of the mouth, and a non-toxic cold temperature storage medium disposed within the U-shaped member. In use, a bottom wall portion of the U-shaped member abuts the occlusal surfaces of the teeth, an inner wall portion of the U-shaped member abuts the lingual surfaces of the teeth, and an outer wall portion of the U-shaped member abuts the buccal surfaces of the teeth and the adjacent gingival surface of the mouth. Accordingly, the cold temperature storage medium is optimally positioned to alleviate pain and reduce swelling within the mouth.
