The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for customizing dental care. In one aspect, personalized toothbrush devices are 3-D printed for a plurality of users. A 3-D dental model of a respective user's mouth is obtained, and a configuration for a mouthpiece of a respective personalized toothbrush device is determined. The respective personalized toothbrush device is 3-D printed, and includes a top cleaning tray, a bottom cleaning tray, and a set of cleaning elements, each customized based at least in part on the 3-D dental model of the respective user's mouth. Each personalized toothbrush device is 3-D printed for each respective user of the plurality of users, and is different from every other user's personalized toothbrush device.

An electric toothbrush includes a gyro sensor inside a main body. The gyro sensor detects an angular velocity of the main body and the main body includes a head portion, a neck portion, and a grip portion in a longitudinal axis direction. An angle formed by a longitudinal axis of the main body in a state that brush bristles of the head portion contact with a brushing site in a dentition with respect to the longitudinal axis of the main body in a state that the brush bristles of the head portion contact with a reference position in the dentition is obtained, based on an output from the gyro sensor. A corresponding point corresponding to the brushing site on an approximate curve that curves corresponding to the dentition is obtained based on the angle, and coordinates of the corresponding point are used as a translational position of the brushing site.

The Alternate Eliminator Tooth Brush uses a very different unique method in which to clean teeth. This unique operation is achieved with a new tooth brush design that has two revolving tooth brush heads, one directly behind the other on two separate axels as each revolves in opposite directions giving a more effective method producing a more thorough scouring of the teeth, tongue, and gums with a double whisking cleaning action along with the reciprocation of the front tooth brush head helping to remove mucus that causes plaque build up. The steady vigorous whisking action of dual heads provides a constant action over the entire surface of the teeth while preventing the redistribution of food particles in and between the teeth. A common occurrence with the conventional hand held, and the electric tooth brushes, but something thats avoided with the three speed motor of the Alternate Eliminator Tooth Brush.

Automated devices for detecting and removing dental biofilms are described herein. In some embodiments, the disclosed subject matter includes a device for administering a suspension comprising iron oxide nanoparticles to teeth to chemically treat and mechanically remove dental biofilms. In some embodiments, disclosed subject matter includes a device for administering a suspension comprising iron oxide nanoparticles and hydrogen peroxide to teeth to kill bacteria within a biofilm matrix and degrade the biofilm matrix and assembling the iron oxide nanoparticles into autonomous magnetic bristles or antimicrobial robots to mechanically remove biofilm. Devices and methods for real-time detection of dental plaque and monitoring of removal of dental plaque are also disclosed herein.

The present invention provides a holder and support structure or carrier structure for a mouthpiece of a teeth cleaning device which enables cleaning of a plurality of teeth, preferably all of the user's teeth at the same time, wherein the carrier structure comprises a mouth insert for the user's upper jaw and a mouth insert for the user's lower jaw; and a coupling section including two arms and a connecting section for the drive device, wherein the mouth inserts are each connected to an arm of the coupling section and the connecting section for the drive device is adapted so that it can be connected to a drive device via a fastener thereof, wherein the arms of the coupling section that are connected to the mouth inserts each include at least one spring section. The spring sections assure an even transfer of vibration transfer along the entire length of the mouth inserts. In one embodiment, the horizontal spring sections of the carrier structure allow it to be adjusted more precisely to the user's dentition.

A brush head is provided on the front surface at a distal-end-side part of a neck of a replaceable brush. A fitting shaft portion is provided on a planting base of the brush head so as to protrude rearward and penetrate through a support wall portion of the neck. A shaft hole is formed at a rotation center of a brush head body of the brush head so as to extend frontward from a rear surface of the brush head body. The neck has ahead support shaft mounted to the shaft hole so as to rotatably support the brush head. A front end of the head support shaft is located frontward of a rear surface of the planting base, and power from the driving portion is transmitted to a rear part of the fitting shaft portion.
