Systems and methods for personalized oral irrigation
Described herein are systems and methods for providing personalized oral irrigation. One variation of a system for personalized oral irrigation comprises a fluid reservoir and a customized oral insert in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir. The oral insert comprises an arrangement of fluid openings positioned based on the individual oral or dental structures of a user's teeth to provide a customized fluid flow over the user's teeth. Also described herein are methods for generating an arrangement of fluid openings in a customized oral insert.
INTERDENTAL CLEANING TOOL
An interdental cleaning tool composed of a U-shaped arch and a handle, which can be used with various types of dental floss. The tool is made of a stainless steel wire, and hence can be used repeatedly. Two ends of the U-shaped arch part of the floss holder are each provided with a ring groove, and the dental floss is wound around the ring grooves to ensure that the dental floss will not come loose. A gap is provided at an end of the handle between two segments of the steel wire of which the handle is made, and the two segments of the steel wire of the remaining part of the handle should be tightly attached together. Following winding, the end of the dental floss is clamped in the gap in the middle of the handle for fixation.
Dispensing toothbrush assembly
A dispensing toothbrush assembly includes a handle that has a toothpaste well integrated therein. A toothpaste tube is insertable into the toothpaste well in the handle and the toothpaste tube contains a toothpaste. A brush head is removably attachable to the handle and the brush head is in fluid communication with the toothpaste tube when the brush head is removably attached to the handle. The brush head has a conduit integrated therein for receiving the toothpaste contained in the toothpaste tube. A pump is movably coupled to the handle and the pump compresses the toothpaste tube when the pump is manipulated for urging the toothpaste outwardly from the toothpaste tube and into the conduit. A spool of dental floss is removably attachable to the handle for dispensing dental floss outwardly therefrom. A pick is coupled to and extends away from the spool of dental floss.
Floss dispenser
A device includes a floss assembly comprising floss wound around a spool, an insert comprising a support surface and a post configured to support the floss assembly, and a housing having a front portion and a back portion. The front portion defines a front aperture and the back portion defines a back aperture. The front aperture and the back aperture are configured to receive the insert such that the support surface interfaces with the back portion and the post interfaces with the front portion.
Integrated manual toothbrush assembly comprising in interior dental floss compartment
The invention is directed to a manual toothbrush that includes an interior compartment housing an amount of dental floss. The toothbrush comprises a handle defined by an interior compartment. A portion of dental floss is housed within the interior compartment. The handle includes a cap that allows access to the dental floss housed within the interior compartment. The handle can include one or more finger or thumb rests that provide comfort to the user while brushing their teeth and/or accessing the interior compartment. The toothbrush also comprises an angled brush head defined by a plurality of bristles. Advantageously, the toothbrush allows for brushing and flossing using one compact and convenient device.
DENTAL APPARATUS AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME
A dental apparatus that enables a user to controllably dispense one or more fluids during normal operation, including: a body, wherein the body includes a handle member and a flossing head; a floss member associated with the flossing head; and a fluid containing reservoir, wherein the fluid containing reservoir includes a fluid dispensing aperture proximate the floss member.
FLOSSER
Flossers are designed to simplify flossing with braces including facilitating the insertion of floss into and the maneuvering of the floss within the embrasure spaces. The flossers can include an inner prong and an outer prong between which a length of floss extends. The outer prong can be configured to insert between the teeth and the wire of the braces while the inner prong is positioned inside the teeth. While positioned between the wire and the teeth, the outer prong can be maneuvered to thereby floss the embrasure spaces.
Dental Flossing Device
The present invention relates to a dental flossing device. More specifically, the dental flossing device includes a pre-loaded floss dispensing ring and a floss receiving ring. The rings are flexible and stretchable and conform to the shape of the fingers mounted thereon. The floss dispensing ring is pre-loaded with a length of dental floss wrapped around the exterior surface. The floss receiving ring receives a length of the dental floss by wrapping a free end of the wrapped dental floss of the floss dispensing ring therearound. The rings can be worn on fingers of different hands of a user and a floss length between the dispensing ring and the receiving ring is taut and tightened for flossing. The flossing device can be used for flossing one's own teeth or another's teeth. The rings conform to the contour and shape of the fingers mounted thereon.
DENTAL FLOSS DISPENSER
A dental floss dispenser. The dispenser includes a dispenser housing enclosing an interior portion and a dispensing portion. The dispensing portion is slidably positioned inside the interior portion of the dispenser housing. The dispensing portion has a stored position and a dispensing position. In the stored position, the dispensing portion is entirely disposed in the interior portion. In the dispensing position, the dispensing portion is partially disposed outside of the interior portion. The dispensing portion further includes a storage chamber for storing a wound string of dental floss and a floss dispensing cavity for holding at least a portion of the wound string of dental floss extracted from the storage chamber.
Method and system for oral PH change
A new method and a system for increasing the pH of a composition applied on teeth and/or gums. The composition is gelable under the influence of a pH change. The device includes a dispensing unit for the composition, a distal end of which is adapted to apply the composition onto teeth or gums. The device further includes an electrode system having first and second electrodes, the first electrode adapted to be held against the composition at a location at or near teeth or gums, and the second electrode adapted to be held against the composition at a location away from teeth or gums. The electrode system is adapted so as to provide an electrical potential difference of 1.5 to 10 Volt between the first and second electrodes.
