For many years people have been great need of an oral cleaning device that cleans thoroughly, quickly, and efficiently. In designing my Teethsweep-T electric toothbrush all of these factors and more were addressed and remitted. This hand held cleaning device reduces the average brushing time by more than fifty percent. My Unique Sequential Alignment of Gears, found in no other electric toothbush, allows for the individual three hundred sixty (360) rotation of four individual circular sets of bristles. Other electric oral cleaning devices uses sonic motion or pulse with bristles moving up and down; and side to side when in operation. While dentists recommended brushing in a circular motion, My Teethsweep-T electric toothbrush uses circular motion for thorough cleaning when in operation.

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.

An electric toothbrush is disclosed herein. The electric toothbrush may include an elongated body portion with opposed first and second ends and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween; a brush head section arrangeable toward the first end and including: a first bristle support member rotatable in a first direction, and a second bristle support member coupled to the first bristle support member and rotatable in a second direction about a centrally defined axis, the second direction being opposite the first direction; and a drive rod coupled to at least the first bristle support member and having an axis oriented so as to extend coincident with, or substantially parallel to, the longitudinal axis of the electric toothbrush, the drive rod being arranged to linearly move along the axis so as to rotate the first bristle support member in the first direction and rotate the second bristle support member in the second direction.

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.

The invention provides a mouthpiece for dental cleaning system and the dental cleaning system itself. The mouthpiece has a base and inner and outer arches. An actuator is for applying motion to the inner arch and/or the outer arch, relative to the base. A coupling arrangement converts motion of one of the inner and outer arches in one direction relative to the base to motion in an opposite direction relative to the base of the other of the inner and outer arches. By forming the mouthpiece as a central stationary base enveloped by two contour-following and moving arches, an anti-phase brushing motion at opposite tooth sites along the tooth arch is enabled, giving increased reach toward the molars as well as a reduction in device vibration in the mouth.

Automatic toothbrushes are disclosed herein. A toothbrush configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, a handle and a mouthguard coupled to the handle. The mouthguard can be configured to be positioned within a mouth of a user over multiple teeth of the user. A brush assembly having a plurality of bristles can be removably positioned within the mouthguard for engaging and cleaning the teeth of the user. A motor can be disposed within or coupled to the handle and configured to articulate the brush assembly within the mouthguard.

A head structure of a brush appliance comprises a frame movably connected with a head driving shaft, driving bristle retainers connected with and driven by the head driving shaft, and driven bristle retainers which and the driving bristle retainers are alternatively arranged with each other. In the head structure, the driven bristle retainers are driven by the driving bristle retainers from the frame in a constrained mode and move around a respective motion axis. The driving bristle retainers have protrusions. The driven bristle retainers have bevel surfaces which correspondingly cooperate with the protrusions. At least one driven point on at least one of bevel surfaces is closer to the driving bristle retainers than a contact point or a contact line or a contact surface of the at least bevel surface and the corresponding protrusions. Thereby the driven bristle retainers are driven by the driving bristle retainers in the moving process.

A pump toothbrush having a toothpaste tube to dispense dentifrice material to top of bristle head is disclosed. The pump toothbrush has a pump head with a resilient button to create an internal vacuum force to draw the dentifrice material from the toothpaste tube. The toothpaste tube is supported by width-limiting fingers to prevent total collapsing of sidewalls resulting in blocking of its flow channel. A self-closing spout is used for preventing backflow. For a manual pump toothbrush the toothpaste tube has an oval-shaped shoulder for mating with the oval-shaped shoulder of a detachable handle for fastening the toothpaste tube by threads. For an electrical pump toothbrush, a detachable endcap connector is used for swinging out the toothpaste tube from its handle for replacement. A sonic vibration model uses rubber molding to minimize vibration on the handle. A dual-rotary model has two rotary bristle elements engaged by gear teeth.

A toothbrush configured to provide improved cleaning of the rear surface of the upper and lower central and lateral incisors. The toothbrush includes a handle having a first end and a second end. The handle further includes an upper surface and a lower surface and additionally a middle portion intermediate the first end and second end. Secured to the first end is a first bristle group that is configured to extend downward therefrom. Adjacent to the first bristle group is a divider. The divider include a first surface proximate the first bristle group and a second surface opposite thereto. A second bristle group is secured to the second surface of the divider and extends toward said second end of said handle being perpendicular in orientation to said first bristle group. A recess is formed in the lower surface of the handle above the second bristle group.

The present invention relates to a toothbrush and, more particularly, to a toothbrush produced by providing soft bristles on a side of a solid bar and capable of easily and simultaneously cleaning a total of six surfaces, e.g., upper and lower flat surfaces, upper left and upper right side surfaces, and lower left and lower right side surfaces, of teeth based on a simple user operation of grasping the toothbrush with a hand.
