Embodiment Construction

[0072] refer to figure 1 , it can be seen that a simple housing or mouth-piece 1 closed at its extremities has been presented with an arcuate shape corresponding to the dental arch 2, said mouth-piece 1 being shown fitted in place around this dental arch 2 , that is to say in the position in which the mouthpiece encloses the teeth 3 of this dental arch 2 .

[0073] The mouthpiece 1 has a generally U-shaped portion with two side walls 4 joined at opposite ends thereof and connected to a bottom 5 . The two side walls 4 , which form a protrusion 6 extending over the entire periphery of the mouthpiece 1 , become slightly closer to each other near their free edges. The protrusion 6 has a substantially cylindrical portion.

[0074] In the example shown, the mouthpiece 1 is made of silicone with an average hardness number (Shore 30) from a mold allowing to obtain a silicone thickness of about 2 mm, conforming to the shape of the dental arch; thicker The protrusion 6 corresponds t...

Abstract

A device for cleaning teeth, allows the simultaneous cleaning of the teeth of at least one arch. The device includes: a single or a double arc-shaped tray which can enclose the teeth of one arch or both arches at once and which, via the free edge(s) thereof, can be fitted to the corresponding gum or gums, the tray made from a flexible material allows reversible deformation and is compatible with medical use; and fluid-injection / -removal elements for injecting fluid into the tray and removing fluid from the interior thereof. Once the tray is in place on the teeth, the fluid-injection / -removal elements subject them to repeated cycles of fluid injection / removal to clean the teeth by the combined action, within the tray, of fluid circulation over and between the teeth and mechanical action of the tray's internal surface on the teeth, resulting from the deformation of the tray during the injection / removal cycles.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a tooth cleaning device and method for simultaneously brushing all teeth of at least one dental arch. [0002] Its very easy-to-use solution is especially intended for people with reduced mobility, and more generally for all those who have difficulty cleaning their teeth with conventional toothbrushing systems. Background technique [0003] Teeth cleaning is routinely performed using a toothbrush. To be effective, its processing requires certain knowledge and skills, which are sometimes lacking. [0004] The automation of the movement of the head of an electric toothbrush facilitates its use, but again requires good coordination and adherence to a strict regimen. Cleaning is optimal only when it concerns a "standard" arch (ie no distorted teeth) and when the periodontal tissue is healthy. People with disabilities rarely meet this ideal situation. [0005] It is therefore necessary to turn to systems suitable for sup...
