DEVICE FOR CLEANING TEETH
The invention relates to a device for cleaning teeth of a human or animal user with a mouthpiece to be placed in the user's mouth, having a support with cleaning elements arranged thereon, which cleaning elements are arranged on the support for simultaneous engagement with substantially all of the teeth of an upper jaw and/or a lower jaw of the user, and with an electric drive unit fastened detachably to the mouthpiece with at least one vibration element to execute a vibrating motion, wherein the cleaning elements are arranged on the support for simultaneous engagement with substantially all of the teeth of the upper jaw and the lower jaw of the user, and that a detachable magnetic connection is provided for the detachable fastening of the drive unit to the mouthpiece.
Omnidirectional Scientific Toothbrush
An omnidirectional scientific toothbrush includes a brush handle and a brush head having a U-shaped structure. A central gearset, and tooth outer side brush rollers and tooth inner side brush rollers, both of which are respectively arranged in an upper row and a lower row according to tooth layout, and a tooth end surface brush roller driven by the central gearset are installed in an inner cavity of the brush head. The tooth end surface brush roller is located in a space defined by the tooth outer side brush rollers and the tooth inner side brush rollers. The rotating action of the tooth end surface brush roller allows the tooth end surface brush roller to simultaneously brush occlusal surfaces of upper and lower rows of teeth. Thus the cleaning operation of all of the teeth in the mouth may just be finished at one time automatically.
Oral care implement with applicator
An oral care implement having an applicator. In one aspect, the invention can be an oral care implement having: a body having a handle and a head coupled to a distal end of the handle, the body extending along a longitudinal axis; a store of oral care material located within the body; an applicator on the body, the applicator having a plurality of outlets in fluid communication with the store of oral care material, the plurality of outlets located on a concave dispensing surface of the applicator; and an actuator operably coupled to the store of oral care material to dispense the oral care material through the plurality of outlets.
Oral health device having a handle with a manifold switching mechanism
An oral health device includes an oral insert and a fluid delivery system. The oral insert includes a plurality of manifolds for conveying fluid to orifices in the oral insert. The fluid delivery system including a manifold switching mechanism that selectively delivers pressurized fluid to a manifold selected from the plurality of manifolds. The manifold switching mechanism selectively aligns a gateway with one of the manifolds.
Method of manufacturing a recess wall lined with bristles for a mouthpiece for simultaneously brushing at a plurality of dental positions, and a recess wall and mouthpiece obtained with the method; and dental cleaning device; and mouthpiece for brushing at a plurality of dental positions, brushing device comprising such mouthpiece, and method of operating such a mouthpiece or brushing device
The invention relates to method of manufacturing a recess wall lined with bristles for a mouthpiece for simultaneously brushing at a plurality of dental positions, and to a recess wall and mouthpiece manufactured according to the method. In a providing step, an elongate, continuous, bristled sheet part having a first side lined with a plurality of bristles is provided. The elongate sheet part defines a length axis extending parallel to the sheet part and, viewed transverse to the length axis, a cross-sectional shape. The sheet part obtained in the providing step has an initial condition in which the cross-sectional shape has an initial shape, and the length axis is arch-shaped. In a transforming step, the sheet part of the providing step is transformed from the initial condition to a final condition to provide the recess wall. In the final condition the cross-sectional shape has a final U-shape, the length axis is arch shaped, and the first side is a concave inner side of the final U-shape. The first side is in the final condition more concave than in the initial condition.
A SYSTEM FOR THE CLEANING AND DISINFECTING OF GUM SURFACES SURROUNDING IMPLANT STRUCTURES THAT SUPPORT DENTURES
The preset invention is a system for easy and effective cleaning and disinfecting the gum-denture contact surfaces of a fixated-in-place denture plate, especially for cleaning and disinfecting the surfaces immediately surrounding the implants structures in the gum of the denture wearer that support the denture plate. The system is composed of: a denture plate having a smooth gum contact surface, at least one Denture-Alveolar-Implant Liquid Dispenser (DAILD) and a conduit liquid (or gas) streaming system. Optionally, the system also includes at least one Denture Liquid Sieve-Dispensers (DLSD). Each DAIL is constructed of: a dental implant structure, a locking component, a basin-structure and fastening-component. When liquid (or gas) is injected into the basin structure it flows from DAILD and cleans and disinfects the surrounding area of the DAILD in the denture plate.
7-way dental syringe
A 7-way dental syringe is a device in a dental delivery system that delivers an air stream, water stream, air spray and water spray; four efficient ways to clean a patient's mouth. Additionally, the 7-way dental syringe is a controllable pressurized dental water jet system. It can dislodge plaque biofilms from teeth and interdental regions, access a periodontal pocket to wash out plaque therein, and cleanse a tooth extraction site or irrigate exposed jawbone; various clinical ways to perform advanced oral hygiene.
Oral hygiene systems
Oral hygiene systems and methods for their use are provided. An oral hygiene system includes a mouthpiece having an outer portion and an inner portion configured to receive at least a portion of a user's dental and gum structures, a plurality of filaments disposed within the inner portion of the mouthpiece, a water pressure irrigator configured to be selectively coupled to the outer portion of the mouthpiece and to deliver fluid to the inner portion of the mouthpiece, and a fluid reservoir in fluid communication with the water pressure irrigator and configured to deliver the fluid thereto, wherein the system is configured to generate ultrasound/ultrasonic vibration within the inner portion of the mouthpiece.
SIMULTANEOUS CLEANING OF MULTIPLE TEETH
A method and an apparatus are disclosed for simultaneously cleaning multiple teeth, such as one or both dental arches. The Dental Cleaning Apparatus (DCA) includes a cleaning engine enclosed in a main housing, a fluid tube, and a mouthpiece. The cleaning engine includes a fluid circuit having a number of pumps and solenoid valves, and a programmable controller to control the solenoid valves and other operations. The fluid tube includes a number of separate tubes for injection and evacuation of cleaning fluid from the interior of mouthpiece. The mouthpiece is generally made from a flexible and supple material, such as silicone, and may have bristles of various shapes. The cleaning engine alternates the mouthpiece between a relaxation state and a contraction state to effectively scrub the surface of all enclosed teeth simultaneously. It may automatically learn and adjust the vacuum pressure needed for each user to optimize cleaning.
DEVICE FOR CLEANING TEETH AND GUMS
A cleaning device provides for quick, thorough and pleasant multi-parallel cleaning of teeth and gums through use of a pressurized cleaning liquid, applied to teeth and gums by a cleaning headpiece with a plurality of cleaning nozzles and with optimized and practical geometry as well as readily applicable control of the clean by the user. Sensations of suffocating or drowning, which can be serious detriments and hindrances of prior art devices, are effectively overcome. In a preferred embodiment, teeth are cleaned in two steps, where each step cleans the teeth and gums in just over one side of the user's jaws. The device can simply be extracted, flipped by 180 degrees and reinserted into the mouth between the two steps.
