A tracking attachment for an oral care implement that includes a housing and a tracking unit configured to track position, orientation, or movement of the oral care implement. The housing may define a receiving cavity that is configured to receive a portion of the oral care implement. The housing may include a first housing portion having an inner surface that defines a first portion of the receiving cavity that is open at both of the first and second ends of the first housing portion and a second housing portion that mates with the first housing portion to detachably couple the second housing portion to the first housing portion. The second housing portion may have an inner surface that defines a second portion of the receiving cavity that is open at the second end of the second housing portion.

A toothbrush system configured to be coupled to an external suction source. The toothbrush system includes a shaft with a main body with a first end and a second end, and a bristle array and a suction port arranged at the second end. The bristle array and the suction port both extend away from the shaft so that an opening of the suction port is proximal to a distal end of the bristle array. The shaft also includes a stem arranged at the first end. The stem includes a passageway that extends through the main body to provide a fluid connection to the suction port, and is configured to be coupled to the external suction source. Also, the handle is removably coupled to the shaft and includes a drive system operably coupled to the bristle array to actuate motion of the bristle array.

A toothbrush head includes a fixture and a compressing sleeve. The fixture includes a first end and a second end. The first end is provided with a protrusion fastened with the brush head. The second end splits to form a gap that extends toward the first end. The gap has a fastening space fastened with the driving shaft of an electric toothbrush. The compressing sleeve sleeves the outside of the fixture to shrink the gap. The fixture is fastened with the metal driving shafts with various shapes or sizes of electric toothbrushes. As long as the compressing sleeve sleeves the outside of the fixture, the fixture is not loosed. Thus, the toothbrush head is suitable for electric toothbrushes of many brands.

An oral care refill head (300), the oral care refill head (300) may be detachably coupled to a handle (200). The handle (200) may include a stem (250) that is received within a connection cavity (326) of the oral care refill head (300). The stem (250) and the connection cavity (326) may have specific geometries and structures to ensure an adequate coupling therebetween. An oral care implement (100), the oral care implement (100) have a pressure sensing assembly, excessive pressure applied onto the oral care refill head (300) will cause the motor (140) and a motor chassis (401) to rock. As the motor chassis (401) rocks, a contact element (456) thereon will actuate a pressure actuator element (455). In response, a control unit (150) may initiate generation of a user perceptible signal to inform the user of the excess pressure.

An oral cleaning and/or treatment unit (10), e.g. a head for an oral cleaning and/or treatment device, includes electrodes (18a, 18b) for emitting RF energy for providing an oral cleaning and/or treatment function. The unit includes at least a first (14a) and second (14b) protruding member, which protrude in a same general direction away from a base or support structure (12). Each comprises one or more electrodes for generating an RF field. The protruding members are adapted to have a flexibility that permits the member to resiliently bend or deform in a direction perpendicular the direction of extension of the member out of the support surface (‘lateral direction’).

An oral healthcare personal appliance (10), configured for use with a removable brush head (20) having a first light guide (28), comprises a handle (16), an actuator (14) with a hollow drive shaft (18), a second light guide (36) disposed co-axially between first and second ends of the hollow drive shaft, a rear stop connection adapter (62) coupled to the second ends of the hollow drive shaft and the second light guide, a light source (66) to emit light into the second light guide, and an optional front stop connection adapter (34) coupled to the first ends of the hollow drive shaft and the second light guide. Physically coupling the brush head to the handle enables both (i) a rotation of the brush head via a rotation of the hollow drive shaft and (ii) a transmission of light from the light source through the second light guide and into the first light guide.

Automatic toothbrushes are disclosed herein. A toothbrush configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, a handle and a mouthguard coupled to the handle. The mouthguard can be configured to be positioned within a mouth of a user over multiple teeth of the user. A brush assembly having a plurality of bristles can be removably positioned within the mouthguard for engaging and cleaning the teeth of the user. A motor can be disposed within or coupled to the handle and configured to articulate the brush assembly within the mouthguard.

An oral care device having a head with cleaning elements and a handle coupled to the head. The handle may include a selectively rotatable ring arranged between the head and a distal end of the handle that is configured to allow a user to select a desired mode of operation of the oral care device. The handle may include a selectively illuminated light that is configured to display at least one color that visually indicates that certain behaviors, patterns, and/or consistent habits have been performed successfully. The handle may include a processor configured to track a duration of a user's brushing session, a light ring on a bottom surface of the handle, and a pressure sensor. Respective portions of the light ring may be selectively illuminated by the processor to visualize progress toward achieving a predetermined brushing routine time and/or to visualize an over-pressure condition sensed by the pressure sensor.

A dental cleaning appliance includes a handle, and a cleaning tool detachably connected to the handle. The cleaning tool includes a nozzle for delivering a burst of working fluid to the teeth of a user, a stem extending between the handle and the nozzle, and a fluid reservoir for storing working fluid. The fluid reservoir is connected to, and extends around, the stem.

The present disclosure provides a brushhead for an power toothbrush detachably attached to a handle of the power toothbrush, the handle including a vibrating drive shaft, the brushhead comprising: a main body defining a receiving cavity which is configured to receive at least a portion of the vibrating driving shaft, the main body including a cavity wall substantially surrounding the receiving cavity and an end connected to the handle, with an opening which is defined in the end of the main body in air communication with the receiving cavity, so that the vibrating driving shaft is capable of being inserted into the receiving cavity through the opening; and an engaging assembly mounted in a side wall of the main body, the engaging assembly comprising an elastic member, which is made by metal material; wherein, a recess is defined in the outer surface of the side wall, the elastic member is deformably received in the recess, the elastic member is elastically deformed by force provided from the vibrating drive shaft when the brushhead is attached to the handle of the power toothbrush.
