Methods of Making Personalized Toothbrush Devices
The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for creating customized dental care. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining a dental model of a particular user's teeth and determining, based on the dental model of the particular user's teeth, a configuration for a set of cleaning elements to be included with the toothbrush device. The method further includes forming the toothbrush device for the particular user based on the dental model of the particular user's teeth, whereby the toothbrush device includes: (i) a cleaner body, personalized for the particular user based on the dental model of the particular user's teeth, that defines a cleaning cavity shaped for receiving the particular user's teeth, and (ii) the set of cleaning elements, integrally formed with the cleaner body, that contact and clean the particular user's teeth during application of the toothbrush device, whereby the cleaning elements have the determined configuration.

Detecting machine for a yield rate of bristles of a toothbrush and detecting method for bristles of a toothbrush
A detecting machine for a yield rate of bristles of a toothbrush and a detecting method for the bristles are provided. The detecting machine includes a power device and two rotating units, and the two rotating units are rotatably mounted on a side surface of the power unit. The two rotating units are disposed parallel to each other. When in a rotating condition, the two rotating units rotate in opposite rotating directions. When a manufacturer horizontally disposes a toothbrush between the two rotating units, the surfaces of the two rotating units may compress the bristles and pull the bristles toward a direction away from the toothbrush. Therefore the manufacturer can inspect whether the bristles are firmly mounted on the toothbrush.

SYNTHETIC GOAT HAIR BRUSH
A blended cosmetic brush head may include a first plurality of fibers each having a first diameter, a second plurality of fibers each having a second diameter, and a third plurality of fibers each having a third diameter, where the first, second, and third diameters are different. The brush may be adapted to simulate a natural hair brush, more particularly, goat hair.
Method For Producing A Cleaning Device, And Cleaning Device
A cleaning apparatus or an interdental cleaning apparatus and a method for producing a cleaning apparatus or an interdental cleaning apparatus, the method includes: forming a gripping element from a fiber material or from paper or card, providing a cleaning element which comprises at least one filament, arranging at least a portion of the at least one filament of the cleaning element in a receiving portion of the gripping element, connecting the cleaning element to the gripping element by: pressing the receiving portion of the gripping element, or pressing the receiving portion from several sides against the portion, which is arranged in the receiving portion of the filament and/or introducing heat into the receiving portion and/or the portion of the filament.

Oral Care Apparatus
An oral care apparatus that includes an oral care implement and a tracking module detachably coupled to the oral care implement. The oral care implement includes a body having an inner surface that defines an internal cavity. The tracking module may be coupled to the oral care implement by inserting a portion of the tracking module into the internal cavity of the body. The tracking module includes a coupling portion and an electronics portion that are coupled together so as to be fixed together in the axial direction but freely rotatable relative to one another. The tracking module may only be able to be inserted into the internal cavity of the body in a single orientation. Furthermore, when in the internal cavity, the electronics portion of the tracking module may be non-rotatable relative to the body while the coupling portion of the tracking module remains rotatable relative to the body.
