Provided is a light irradiated toothbrush, in which light sources, irradiating light having mutually different wavelengths, are arranged in alternation at the bottom of waveguide bristles so that light of different wavelengths give rise to constructive interference which strengthens the intensity of the irradiated light, and the height of the light sources are varied on the basis of the wavelength of the light irradiated therefrom so as to effectively transmit light of short wavelengths to the waveguide bristles, and light having mutually different wavelengths are transmitted by means of the waveguide bristles, thereby effectively transmitting the light to the mouth of a user.

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.

A toothbrush of the present invention includes: a main body including a head portion having a bristle raising surface on which bristles are provided in a standing manner; a light emission unit configured to emit light through a specific region of the bristle raising surface to a tooth surface; and a light reception unit configured to receive radiated light from the tooth surface resulting from the light through the specific region, the light emission unit and the light reception unit being provided in the main body. The toothbrush also includes a detection unit configured to collectively detect whether or not dental plaque or dental calculus is present on the tooth surface based on an output from the light reception unit. The toothbrush further includes a determination unit configured to determine that dental calculus is present on the tooth surface.

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.

An electric toothbrush includes a handle, a toothbrush head, and a charging base. One end of the handle is configured for outputting ultrasonic vibrations. The toothbrush head is configured for simultaneously wrapping upper and lower rows of teeth of a human body. The toothbrush head is configured to be disposed on the end of the handle and vibrates with the end of the handle to simultaneously clean the upper and lower rows of teeth of the human body. The charging base is disposed at the other end of the handle and charges the handle. And the charging base includes a sterilization unit for sterilizing the handle and the toothbrush head. The electric toothbrush provided by the present application is convenient to operate, and is configured for being charged through a charging base and being sterilized after being used, with complete functions and a wide application range.

The brush head of the toothbrush has filaments that are pointed at one end and led through clearances in the bristle carrier. These filaments have a length of about 10-20 mm. The tips of the pointed filaments produce a height profile other than that of a plane and the ends of the pointed filaments that are remote from the tips are melted.

An electrical toothbrush head includes a toothbrush body and an insertion piece that includes a core channel and a sideway slot in which an elastic bar is arranged. The core channel has a contact engagement surface. The elastic bar has a curved section. When the vibration core is inserted into the core channel, the contact engagement surface and the curved section respectively contact and engage with core side surfaces of the vibration core, and the elastic bar is pushed to elastically deform away from the contact engagement surface. When the electrical toothbrush head and the toothbrush handle are combined, the vibration core is clamped between the contact engagement surface and the curved section and the elastic bar deforms outward and the elastic filler block is compressed, such that the elastic filler block and the elastic bar cause the curved section to be in elastic engagement with the vibration core.

A toothbrush device comprises a cleaner body that defines a cleaning cavity configured for receiving a set of teeth of a user. A powered driving mechanism is coupled to the cleaner body and is configured to impart driven movement to the cleaner body, thereby to effect cleaning of a set of teeth engaged with the cleaning cavity. The cleaner body can be uniquely customized for a specific user, the cleaning cavity being substantially complementary in shape only to the corresponding set of teeth of the specific user. Cleaning elements can be arranged non-uniformly in the cleaning cavity to define focus areas corresponding to identified dental problem areas unique to the specific user.

Disclosed is an apparatus for cleaning periodontal pockets configured to be inserted into the periodontal pockets formed at boundaries between teeth and gums so as to clean the periodontal pockets, the apparatus includes a customized frame configured to have a structure which the user puts in a mouth thereof and manufactured to match shapes of teeth and gums of a user, and inserts provided inside the frame and arranged at the boundaries between the teeth and the gums of the user so as to clean the periodontal pockets, and the inserts are formed at different positions for respective teeth of the user so as to correspond to the boundaries of the teeth and the gums, so that the inserts are capable of being inserted into the periodontal pockets despite differences in positions of the periodontal pockets of the respective teeth.

An oral care system that includes an oral care implement and a tracking attachment. The oral care implement may include a handle and a head. The tracking attachment is detachably coupled to the oral care implement. The tracking attachment may include a first component comprising a first housing having an inner surface that defines a first cavity and a second component comprising a second housing having an inner surface that defines a second cavity. When the tracking attachment is coupled to the oral care implement, a first portion of the handle is positioned within the first cavity and a second portion of the handle is positioned within the second cavity.
