Dental cradle systems

Abstract

The dental cradle is a dishwasher safe, injection-molded thermoplastic polymer device for holding toothbrushes and other dental hygiene instruments, which prevents bacteria from developing by allowing toothbrushes and other dental hygiene instruments to air dry in a horizontal position rather than dripping from a vertical position into a cup holder that promotes a bacteria-breeding environment. The dental cradle can be manufactured and sold as a kit in combination with a tooth brush, a tooth scraper, and a tooth mirror.

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a dental cradle that is designed to hold toothbrushes and other dental hygiene implements in a secure and organized way, promoting better dental health. The cradle prevents bacteria buildup and water accumulation, which can lead to hygiene issues. The cradle can be raised above a surface or placed on a flat surface for easy storage and air drying of the dental hygiene implements. The design features a series of horizontal cradles for easy access and separation of the hygiene implements. Overall, the invention helps to keep dental instruments clean and safe from harmful bacteria.

Problems solved by technology

There is no lack of attractive, traditional, cup-style toothbrush holders on the market, and although these may look terrific and tasteful by the bathroom sink, you're eventually going to get, using a holder that inevitably collects and retains water, a mouth full of bacteria.
