TOOTHBRUSH SYSTEM
A toothbrush apparatus and system and associated method. The apparatus includes a sensing module that performs at least one of the following: detect at least one time period associated with use of the toothbrush apparatus, detect one or more movements of the toothbrush apparatus, and any combination thereof. The apparatus's one or more processors communicatively coupled to the sensing module determine one or more measurements based on at least one of: the detected time periods, the detected movements, and any combination thereof, and store the determined measurements in one or more memory locations communicatively coupled to the processors. The apparatus also includes one or more feedback modules that receive the stored measurements and encode the measurements into corresponding feedback signals. One or more data transfer modules transmit the feedback signals.
METHODS FOR AUTOMATED TOOTH BRUSHING
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.
Ionic toothbrush
The disclosure provides an ionic toothbrush having an elongated body that may be configured to have a one-piece design, or alternatively one or more components of the ionic toothbrush may be removable and/or replaceable. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides an ionic toothbrush which includes a handle portion, a brush head portion including a plurality of bristle tufts; and an electrical circuit configured to transmit a negative electrical charge through at least a portion of the brush head, wherein the electrical circuit includes one or more sections of conductive resin present on an outer surface of one or both of the handle portion and the brush head portion.
Electric toothbrush that provides highly effective longitudinal movement and completely eliminates the risk of traumas caused by the free end or tip of the brush
The invention relates to an electric toothbrush provided with longitudinal, also called axial, oscillating movement that occurs at the active end of the bristle plumes, or nylon filaments, without the end or tip of the brush causing potentially traumatic blows, which represent an undesired risk, as still occurs according to the existing prior art.
Three-way mechanical toothbrush
A three-way mechanical toothbrush includes an angular mechanical toothbrush having a plurality of switches and a charging port disposed on a first end and a toothbrush head disposed on a second end. The toothbrush head provides for three (3) discrete areas of brush bristles with each area capable of multiple directional brushing action.
ORAL CARE APPLIANCE WITH USER INTERACTION
An oral care appliance having a housing, the housing including a tip and a body. The body is pivotably, rotationally, or translationally secured to the tip and further includes a sensor. The body also includes a control unit arranged to receive at least one input signal from the sensor and switch the oral care appliance from a first mode to a second mode in response to the at least one input signal from the sensor. The at least one input signal corresponding the tip being pivoted, rotated, or translated from a first position to a second position.
Cleaning appliance
A dental cleaning appliance includes a handle and a fluid delivery system. The fluid delivery system includes a nozzle for delivering a burst of working fluid to the teeth of a user. A contact member for engaging the teeth of the user is moveable relative to the nozzle as the appliance is moved along the teeth of the user. A sensor provides an output which varies with movement of contact member relative to the nozzle. A control circuit actuates the delivery of working fluid to the teeth of the user depending on the output from the sensor.
VIDEO TOOTHBRUSH
Embodiments of the disclosure provide a video toothbrush. An exemplary video toothbrush may include a handle housing an exciter and a support element including a support neck and a support head. The support element may be configured to extend from a proximal connection with the handle to a distal end. The video toothbrush may further include a camera mounted near the distal end of the support head and a shaft extending from the support neck and configured to support a cleaning head toward a distal end of the shaft and configured to receive vibration from the exciter toward a proximal end of the shaft. The video toothbrush may also include the cleaning head having a plurality of bristles projecting in a first direction. The cleaning head may define a central opening. The central opening may be arranged to provide the camera with a view in the first direction.
ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH THAT PROVIDES HIGHLY EFFECTIVE LONGITUDINAL MOVEMENT AND COMPLETELY ELIMINATES THE RISK OF TRAUMAS CAUSED BY THE FREE END OR TIP OF THE BRUSH
The invention relates to an electric toothbrush provided with longitudinal, also called axial, oscillating movement that occurs at the active end of the bristle plumes, or nylon filaments, without the end or tip of the brush causing potentially traumatic blows, which represent an undesired risk, as still occurs according to the existing prior art.
Electric toothbrush
An electric toothbrush of the present invention includes: a case having first and second drive shafts exposed therefrom, the first and second drive shafts being rotated in opposite directions and moved forward and backward respectively by a drive unit which is driven by a motor; first and second toothbrush bodies coupled to the first and second drive shafts by first and second coupling units respectively, so as to transmit the rotational force and forward and backward motions of the first and second drive shafts; a brush installed at the ends of the first and second toothbrush bodies so as to clean teeth by the rotational force and forward and backward motions transmitted to the first and second toothbrush bodies; and a third toothbrush body having an auxiliary brush, which is coupled to a third drive shaft of the drive unit installed in the case.
