Denture-Style Mouthpieces for Night Use Popular, Production Doubles Helps improve oral environment, prevent flailing, and relieve stress at night

Amulet Dentures Inc. (Head office: Sapporo, Hokkaido; Representative Director: Akira Ikeda), which operates a dental laboratory, began offering Japan's first nighttime-only denture-shaped mouthpiece, "Oyasumi Dentures," in August 2022, and since then the number of production has doubled. The product has been well received for its ability to prevent aspiration pneumonia, the sixth leading cause of death.

Nighttime-only dentures are popular. Since "Good-night Dentures" was launched in August 2022, the number of production has doubled and is spreading by word of mouth. Good-night Dentures are made of soft material and are Japan's first (according to our own research) nighttime-only denture-type mouthpiece. In a survey conducted in October 2023, approximately 32% of respondents answered that they wear dentures at bedtime, and the number of nighttime users is increasing.

Dentures used during the day need to be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized overnight. However, there are still many people who sleep without their dentures because they usually have only one set of dentures. If dentures are removed while sleeping, saliva cannot be swallowed properly, and saliva along with bacteria may flow into the trachea little by little, causing aspiration pneumonia. In addition, it is said that the force exerted while sleeping is about four times greater than when chewing as hard as possible while awake, and the remaining teeth often damage the gums and mouth, causing them to bleed when the patient wakes up. Some people even have a few remaining teeth shifted out of place. When the mouth is damaged, it is not well nourished and the risk of flailing is high.

Some people want to have dentures made to prevent aspiration pneumonia, to prevent damage to the mouth caused by remaining teeth, or to avoid having their family members see their wrinkled mouths after removing their dentures. Although they are made of soft material and are not suitable for eating, they are popular for hydration before bed and during the night, for reducing laziness in the jaw the next morning, and for talking with family members.

If you don't have it, you can make it! The product was completed in the continuous pursuit of user comfort.

The mouth is delicate, and even a single mouth ulcer can make it difficult to eat, leading to poor nutrition and physical weakness, and the pain can also cause depression. One person who said that eating was painful because of the constant scarring in his mouth said that his daily life became easier after using the Goodnight Dentures, and his expression became brighter.

From 2021, we have started providing spare dentures using a 3D printer. When asked about the purpose of use, many people wore them when they slept, so we thought that if they were for nighttime use, a softer material would reduce the load on their gums. However, at the time, the soft material was uncomfortable because it was a mouthpiece and one size larger than the other. We finally completed the product in August 2022. Initially, only full dentures were available, but in February 2024, partial dentures were also made available.

Representative's voice: "The bite of the teeth affects swallowing, and when the upper and lower teeth are in contact, it is possible to swallow well. We unconsciously swallow saliva even while sleeping, but if our teeth are not aligned, we are more likely to damage our mouth with our remaining teeth. Maintaining good oral health is important for daily living. If you have a cut in your mouth from your remaining teeth, please feel free to contact us." A free consultation service for Goodnight Dentures has been set up in conjunction with the June 4-10, 2024 "Healthy Habits for Teeth and Mouth" event.
