This invention is an improvement to a customized scuba diving mouthpiece (10) having a passageway forming front member (12) extending from a proximal in-mouth end (14) to a distal outside end (16), a U- shaped thermoformable back member (18) having a forward middle portion (20), flanges (24, 25), bite portions (28) configured to provide mold ability at substantially all points of contact between mouthpiece (10), and teeth. The improvement comprises the forming of a concave inner and outer surface (44, 46) on the leg portion (12) in order to reduce jaw fatigue, the rearward termination of the inner upstanding flange (24) substantially lateral to the diver's first molar, and the tapering of the rear portions of the leg members (12) so as to provide a more comfortable fit.

L'invention porte sur une amélioration apportée à un embout personnalisé pour plongée subaquatique, lequel embout est pourvu d'un élément antérieur (12) définissant un passage allant de l'extrémité proximale tenue en bouche (14) à l'extrémité distale externe (16) et d'un élément postérieur thermoformable en forme de U (18) pourvu d'une partie médiane avant (20), de rebords (24, 25) et de parties sur lesquelles mordre (28), configurées de manière à épouser l'anatomie à quasiment tous les points de contact entre l'embout (10) et les dents. L'amélioration réside dans la constitution de faces concaves, intérieure et extérieure, (44. 46) sur la partie formant le socle (12) afin de diminuer la fatigue de la mâchoire, dans le positionnement de la zone terminale postérieure du rebord interne vertical (24), presque latéralement à la première molaire du plongeur, et dans la forme décroissante des parties postérieures des éléments constituant le socle (12) et ce, de manière à assurer une tenue en bouche plus confortable.
