The present invention discloses ultrasonic phototherapeutic dental braces and a use method. The dental braces include: a transparent substrate, a phototherapeutic optical fiber, an ultrasonic transducer, an incoming line slot, a wire, and a plastic keel, where the phototherapeutic optical fiber, the ultrasonic transducer, the wire, and the plastic keel are all disposed inside the transparent substrate; the transparent substrate includes an arched end and a performed slot; the performed slot is used for fastening the transparent substrate on teeth of a person; the incoming line slot is disposed at the arched end of the transparent substrate; the incoming line slot is used for leading the wire and the phototherapeutic optical fiber into the transparent substrate; the phototherapeutic optical fiber is used for emitting therapy light to irradiate the therapy light into the oral cavity; the wire is connected to the ultrasonic transducer, the wire is externally connected to a power supply, and is used for supplying power for the ultrasonic transducer; the ultrasonic transducer is used for emitting ultrasonic waves; and the plastic keel is used for adjusting a shape of the transparent substrate. The present invention harmonically combines mechanically cleaning the oral cavity with ultrasonic waves with a photobiomodulation on the oral cavity, and can better protect the oral cavity environment of a user.

A teeth cleaning travel kit includes toothbrushing mouthpiece that has two inverted channels dimensioned to receive upper and lower bites of dental arches of a user, the channels being integral with one another. Teeth-cleaning bristles inwardly project within the two inverted channels to bear inwardly against teeth and gums of the user, wherein the channels and teeth-cleaning bristles are configured such that mastication produces relative brushing movement of the teeth-cleaning bristles over the teeth and gums. An oral hygiene promoting product is attached to one of the two inverted channels and the teeth-cleaning bristles that is released by action of the user's mouth. The teeth cleaning travel kit also includes a vessel that contains a rinsing fluid and kit packaging that contains the toothbrushing mouthpiece and vessel.

This application relates to oral hygiene and/teeth cleaning devices and associated methods. The devices can be configured to have a shape that allows all or substantially all of a user's teeth to be cleaned at once. In some embodiments, the devices are configured to be useable, for example, without access to water or a bathroom. The devices can be used to freshen up and clean the user's mouth on-the-go. In some embodiments, the devices are disposable.

A method for manufacturing a brushing part, the brushing part being configured in a U-shape in order to be placed on the dentition of a jaw of a user, the brushing part forming a channel inside which is designed to receive all or a portion of said dentition, the brushing part comprising at least one tuft of brushing bristles projecting into the interior of said channel by a free end of the bristles of the at least one tuft, the method comprising the following steps: forming the at least one tuft of bristles by assembling a plurality of bristles by an end opposite the free end, so as to form a base of the at least one tuft; fusing the ends forming the base of the at least one tuft so as to form a fused area in one piece, such that an extension of the fused area in a direction that is transverse to an extension direction of the at least one tuft is greater at one extension of the base in the transverse direction prior to the fusing step; placing the at least one tuft on a mold for overmolding the channel of the brushing part; overmolding the channel and the at least one tuft.

The present invention describes a method for a U-shaped teeth brush device having a conformable shape adjusting U-shaped teethbrush module and one or more individual tooth brushes coupled to the power drive mechanism, each brush having a sensor, piezoelectric crystal and transducer and each tooth brush having a block anchor coupled to the power drive, under smart controls, an electronic control system for sensing individual tooth pressure and controlling motor transmission of vibration to prior positioned brushes, whereby a users unique mouth features can be accounted for by adjusting U-shape distal ends to fit through the users mouth and align with users teeth arch for programmatically brushing more than one tooth simultaneously.

Gag reflex when a mouthpiece of an oral care device contacts the posterior oral cavity is reduced by provision of a projection on the handpiece that contacts the user's skin in such a way that gag reflex is reduced or eliminated due to stimulation of nerves in the user's face. In an embodiment, the projection has a tip that contacts the user's face on or near the groove between the lower lip and the chin, exerting mechanical pressure, vibration, or electrical stimulation, which stimulates nerves to reduce the gag reflex.

In one embodiment, the invention may be a teeth cleaning device including: a first support structure comprising a first dentature channel configured to receive at least a first portion of a dentature of a user; a plurality of teeth cleaning pads located within the first dentature channel; a plurality of air bladders operably coupled to the teeth cleaning pads; an air-flow subsystem operably coupled to the air bladders; and a control unit operably coupled to the air-flow subsystem, the control unit configured to: (1) pressurize the air bladders with external air in a pressurization mode; and (2) transfer air between select ones of the air bladders in a cleaning mode.

Hands-free devices adapted for rapid brushing, cleaning and treating users' teeth are provided. In some embodiments, such a device comprises brushes for cleaning each of a user's teeth simultaneously. In some embodiments, such a device is generally U-shaped, accepting, cleaning and/or treating all of a user's teeth simultaneously. In some embodiments, a device is adapted to fit an individual user, based on 3-dimensional imaging. Example customized fluid jets within such devices are provided, introducing dentifrices and other treatments into tooth-conforming channels. In some embodiments, specialized handles are set forth, configured for hands-free use. Example methods and modes for such devices' use are also set forth. In some embodiments, compartments and cartridges with a proprietary form factor for delivering dentifrice and other treatments and for disposing of waste without mess are provided. In some embodiments, observational data are gathered, analyzed and serve as the basis for a treatment action plan.

Mouthpieces for fitting inside a user's mouth and cleaning the teeth, tongue, gums and/or roof of the mouth are provided. The mouthpiece is a hands free toothbrush designed to fit inside the mouth and clean the teeth, tongue, gums and/or roof of the mouth. The mouthpiece is made up of flexible material and is sized to fit the user's mouth. It contains intricately designed tube structures. It will clean the user's mouth, teeth, tongue and gums. The mouthpiece slips in to the mouth and fits or approximates the contour of an individual's teeth. When not in use, the mouthpiece can be kept in its own container for sanitary purposes.
